Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV

Runs on TitanOS

Upvote because it made me angry.

I’ve come to the point where at least some people come to me for advice on buying electronics.

Girl friend asked me for a TV to connect with her PlayStation, not that expensive, 4K/60 and low input delay for casual gaming, and it should last for at least 10 years and should be cheap. Long story short, I got her a 4K/60fps TV with a gaming mode that has like 2~3ms delay for € 550. It‘s a dumb Philips TV running Linux, so no google play and you can remove all spyware. It has apps, but she got the PS to do all of this anyway.

I don’t quite think that there’s a name for this genre (yet?) but I’ll take this opportunity to blast out my favorite story-focused game serieses

Xenoblade is a nice fantasy RPG if you really like Storytelling! And all 3 core games are available on Switch!

Generally speaking, Xenogears and Xenosaga have amazing stories too, but Xenoblade got translated and dubbed waaaay better

Edit: just thought of this the last couple of minutes, and, if there was a name for this genre, it would spoil the whole game/movie/book for you! Imagine watching Planet of the Apes for the first time (it’s old by now and I hope there’s no one here who didn’t watch it already) and exactly knowing what planet it is

The package gets weighed before sending and after receiving. There were a lot of articles years ago speaking of people who put stones in the package and sent it back, received the money and someone else got a package with rocks

They won’t use generative AI in games.

Which is fine by me, because generative AI looks all the same.

Wait they charge 60 $ for dragon quest 3???

I played the Orginal on NES (rom) and it was a grindfest, so basically 90% of the play time is grinding….

I want her to make more than I do. Like a lot of more money than I do.

I like to keep the house clean because I have high cleaning standards, so I have it clean before the women even think about cleaning, washing the clothes, etc. I even love cooking, I consider it a hobby, but a woman that works less and does less in the household than I do is nothing more than work for me, worse than a child. And her making more money than I kind of justifies to me that she doesn’t need to do anything in the household.

Oh! And she needs to tell me at least sometimes what she wants to eat.

Oh, and she gotta be okay with me not being able to be happy or sad for her, it’s nothing personal, just a thing about being on the psychopath spectrum lol

I know this is an old post, but I prefer warm, breathable jacket + umbrella.

It feels like those water proof + breathable coats stop breathing after being wet, then I sweat like crazy.

Dragon Quest 8 - The Journey of the Cursed King

I‘m finally doing the fists only run I wanted to do 15 years ago! I even named the Hero "meFisto“

Totally! I got my old mouse a profile set up to navigate the UI way better than the mouse itself.

No. You only have left click. In the settings you can make right side = right click and left side = left click. You can’t even click left + right at the same time.

But it’s innovative!

I know it’s garbage, but its sole purpose is to be used by the left hand while the right is doing numpad stuff - and I’ve tried alternatives :(

I must say, not being able to cover basic needs and the treats for a cat requires some very very bad financial decisions / circumstances.

I am happy to live in a country where I can get food for my serotonin-bastards for free from shelters and supermarkets if I really need to.

In Austria, we banned plastic bags ~ 5 years ago. We only have paper bags that are ~ 70c each. Before that we had 30c plastic bags.

Oh, and that is the price per bag. People here just get some high quality bags, baskets… and use them over and over.

If I’m doing a lot of work on the numpad side I prefer to keep the right hand there and use the mouse with the left hand.

It’s a pretty nieche use case

Thank you I’m good with my whisky 🥃

Isn’t it at settings - apps - safari - then somewhere in the middle?

Wow! This bears a striking similarity to some apocrypha (idk the plural). Where Nephilim (like Moses or Noah - don’t remember who, but it was the one who was very very old and had many kids with a young woman - was supposed to be one) are mentioned, giants, half-gods. And in order to be wiped off the face of earth, "the one and only" flooded the planet, but Noah built the ark and survived.

It is. It also is the best thing to find something on Reddit. And as much as I hate what it has become, it still is the best source of information. But this changes rapidly, sadly. I give it until 2027, then the information on Reddit is garbage too.
