Allegedly German soldiers said that they didn’t shoot him because they assumed he’d lost his mind, and took pity on him

It’s an insane commitment to the bit

I personally dislike how much people lean into video for information, also because I prefer to read, perhaps it’s a little bitter but I get the sentiment

I believe so, I don’t think it’s a very involved process, but it requires plugging in a USB drive at a certain point during boot. Some people have automated it with an arduino, but from what I can tell as long as the machine stays on stand by you don’t need to re-jailbreak it.

I bloody love Digital Foundry

I’ve been looking into this recently, it’s possible for both base and pro models if they’re under firmware version 9.0, anything above that is not yet exploitable, plus it’s a softmod so it’s a straightforward process, although it’s not persistent across reboots so it’s most convenient to leave it in sleep mode rather than power off. I think psx-place is one of the big forums for these things, but all the information is pretty readily available around the place. Good luck with it!

Edit: Turns out a kernel exploit for firmware up to and including 11.00 was released on April 30th, however no one has yet made a jailbreak for it. So while it will be jailbroken soon, currently only up to 9.00 is supported.

Climate change

Sad to see LOTR being whored out like this since Chris died, clearly the other descendants care for nothing but profit

How wonderfully specific, truly a timeless treasure of a game

I found it very enjoyable, great music and gameplay, very fast paced, definitely worth trying out if it’s free.

I saw someone on lemmy recently say they dislike when game reviewers say that “this game is like another game”, it’s prerequisite knowledge that not everyone has, and it’s lazy writing to boot. Since I read that comment it’s been irking me as well…

What a bunch of narcs

You are clearly not aware of the windfall profits corporations are making, and that they are then passing exactly none of it on to the workers generating that profit

I had a feeling that was the case when I played it…

It’s like Kodi-lite, specifically for shows? It’s not for me, but cool that it’s out there

No one’s out to destroy games Freeman, you’re just being paranoid

I’ve gotten into Wasteland 2 recently, I love Bryan Fargo and Chris Avellone’s work, and so far it’s holding up. I’m coming off of a Shadowrun: Dragonfall playthrough, so apparently I’m in a CRPG mood at the moment.

It’s not even a slap on the wrist, it’s just saying “don’t do this anymore”, but they freakin will man

As of June 2022, more than 500 hours of video were uploaded to YouTube every minute. If that video is stored at 6Mb/s, a conservative estimate, that equates to about 10TB a minute. Obviously you wouldn’t want everything, but it’s still way more than the peertube network could handle in it’s current form I’m sure. I cannot fathom the amount of data that Big Datatm handles, the fact that most of the services are free makes me highly suspicious.

I didn’t down vote, but I’d assume that people on lemmy skew towards a dislike of centralised corporate structures, especially when they’re pushing a subscription service in place of game ownership, and so they’re not so much disagreeing with you as they are simply upset by what you’re saying. Of course, I may be wrong on that. Personally I think it could go either way, I think their aquisitions have not yielded the return that they may have hoped for, and I really hope that gamepass fails, but it doesn’t seem like it will. Que sera sera I suppose.
