So it is! I didn’t realize that, super cool. I assumed it was all ported to UE5

I thought about that. It’s developed by a non-Bethesda studio in a non-Bethesda engine. Where are the bugs going to come from?? Unplayable.

It’s a really great game, just ignore the DLC. Super cozy and low stakes while still having some action

12% is honestly way higher than I thought it would be. That number might be inflated by people looking for funny stuff on April 1st though

Everyone is comparing active users to total users though, Lemmy’s total users is about 10x the number of actives users at 477k. I think you have to post or comment to be marked active?

I read recently that a big factor is motivation for the ADHD brain, where long term reward can be a motivating factor for a non-ADHD brain other things like urgency can be a much more powerful motivator for an ADHD brain. For me, something needing to be done but not urgently doesn’t motivate me at all, but when that same thing needs to be solved immediately I lock in knock it out ezpz

Hold my brows, I’m going in!

More of a thaw, really.

I think they’re joking that even with the accelerated passage of time on earth relative to them they would still die of old age before GTA VI releases

That’s so relatable. They just look like they would be so cold!

Ah, I see! Like I said though, not necessarily a quality difference but a mastering difference. It’s not that the mastering isn’t made for the album/songs, it’s just the target medium of the masters that are different and the nature of the mediums the masters are destined for.

This obviously comes down to the specific album, but from what I understand it is common to have just two masters, one for digital (streaming/CD) and one for analog (vinyl). A huge driver of this is that you CAN take a streaming master and put it on CD but you CANNOT do the same for Vinyl, because of it’s physical limitations. A streaming master on CD functions perfectly while a streaming master on vinyl has a good chance to cause the needle to jump tracks and have distortions because of the loudness the vinyl can’t handle. That’s why maybe only vinyl gets a special master, because the medium demands it.

Of course there is nothing stopping an audio engineer from creating that vinyl master and sending it for the CD and Vinyl!

Not trying to argue merits of either format though, I love and use both. I even stream music (gasp). I’m just an audio nerd info dumping haha

I think in general the reason people think vinyl sounds better actually isn’t a quality judgement and is down to the different mastering vinyl typically receives. Streaming music sources are typically mastered very loud with the dynamic range reduced as a result, this is to compete with all the other tracks mastered for loudness. Loud typically subjectively sounds better when A/B comparisons are done, like when a streaming service serves up a bunch of random songs. Because vinyl has the privilege of not being shuffled with other productions and due to the physical nature of the medium it typically receives a bespoke mastering of the content. This bespoke master typically has a better dynamic range because it doesn’t have to max out loudness. In my experience I prefer the vinyl mastering of an album versus the streaming mastering 90% of the time. There are some stinkers though :P

Ken M energy, haha

Same, every now and then I’ll get hopeful and do some research on the latest attempts to find a cure. Usually just end up more bummed about the situation haha

Niagara’s free version is still pretty great too. I usually pay for apps but don’t want a subscription for my launcher, so I use it in free mode. Despite the limitations it’s methodology of getting you to the app you’re looking for as quickly as possible is a game changer. I don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to icons and folders + app drawer launchers haha

I think genociding natives outweighs keeping the south in line enough to put him at the bottom

Agreed on it being old school reddit! There are some UI wrappers that make it look and feel like old school reddit that I use and love you might enjoy. The wrapper is called mlmym and is open source. There are a few hosts you can use, I use this one: https://o.opnxng.com

Nice! I had a 1995 Accord coupe, a 2005 Accord coupe, and a 2015 Accord coupe. Loved those cars, amazing daily drivers that had a splash of fun and style. It’s truly a tragedy they discontinued it.

WRXs are rad, excellent choices! A friend of mine rented a Model 3 Performance and took me for a ride in it. The acceleration is absurd!
