Definitely! Voyager has been wonderful when it comes to filtering and my filter/block list is massive. I do have the issue where the Lemmy timelines get stale quickly and All is a ghost town but its worth it to see mostly positive things. The desktop experience is atrocious.
On the microblog side, moving to an instance running Sharkey was the best thing to do as Sharkey has the feature to hide the CWs entirely.
From my experience, CW only works if the post is completely hidden from the feed without the option to view it.
Blahaj Zone had the option to yeet that shit from the timeline entirely and it worked amazingly until a migration fucked that up leaving it broken for months and my mental health dropped off a cliff because holy fuck did I not realise most of the people I followed posted so much depressing shit that triggered my cptsd. The urge to click the button was too strong.
Its par for the Fediverse course, really. Good ideas and half-assed implementations.
Broken in iOs 16.7.2 using whatever built in viewer comes with Safari.
I don't have an answer for the windows audio codec.
Perhaps EasyEffects with the auto gain plugin would help in the meantime?
Screenshot is mine:
I use a combination of PiHole via a VPN to my home server and Orion browser.
Its greatly improved my experience.
DOD OD 250 (the yellow one not grey) is still my fav. It was my first pedal and still kicks ass. I believe theres a VST of it now.
As for "budget" you can build one from a PCB or hand wire it yourself, its so old theres no multi layer PCBs, I built one for use with a bass back in 2009 or 2010 since I didn't want to modify the original.
They can’t even use a lot of these IPs anymore.
That's the thing though. Gamers have a special kind of amnesia that gets triggered every time BIG_IP_OF_THEIR_LIKING releases a new sequel or edition. The communities on Lemmy and reddit are unfortunately not indicative of how the wider audience actually perceives games. We're a fringe group, and the publishers/studios bank hard on that. The uneducated and apathetic masses are their target audience. If the gaming world listened to the likes of Lemmy and reddit users, micro/macrotransactions, early-access hell, and half-finished releases wouldn't have become common practice. But here we are.
Fallout is now associated with 76 unless you’re thinking of Obsidian.
You may be right. Fallout 76 has however seen a record number of players since the show aired. That's commonplace with most gaming franchises when a film or TV series comes out. See also: The Last of Us, and SWTOR when The Mandalorian came out.
(I personally think of Neverwinter Nights 2 when thinking of Obsidian. t'was peak gaming)
Blizzard is a shell of its old self, cutting interest in Warcraft, Starcraft, and Overwatch.
I agree with you here. In reality, Blizzard still consistently has queue issues when releasing a new WoW expansion or game, even after all this time. They know it happens, and won't scale up for launch day on WoW retail AND Classic. Their target audience eats that shit up and I'm saying this as a former player that quit during Battle for Azeroth. No comment on Starcraft as I quit when the OG Starcraft scene died down on aus-1 back in the day. Overwatch 1 was seeing incredible numbers when I played from launch until Moria was released. OW2 being a pay-to-win shit show ate into their numbers until they gave up the pay-to-win bullshit. I see more and more of my friends and streamers playing it again now that Bobby Kotick is gone. I'm quite disappointed in some of them, but it is what it is.
There’s rumors even Call of Duty is struggling to retain relevance in new releases.
Good thing they're just rumours until the earnings report comes. Sony has poorly-redacted court documents stating that CoD is their bread and butter on the playstation. There's no way that's changing in the forseeable future (at least not in the billions of dollars range), even with the absolute shit-show that was MW3. When MW4 comes out, the diehard fans will forget it even happened, as they have with every single release since its inception.
Money. They are buying up IP instead of making it on their own merit.
I'm interested in your use of the Arc card for media transcoding. What one did you get and how would you say it compares to a GTX 960? The one in my server died and I stuck a spare 2060 in there a while back and am looking to downgrade to something sensible.
Most of my media is 1080p x264 with some 4k HEVC (and growing) if that helps.
Yeah same here regarding immutable distros. I've only dabbled in the reading and it seems to fit your use case. ^^
Keeping my eye on the thread for future reference. Best of luck!
Never thought I'd see microscoff astroturfing on Lemmy. We've made it!
Thanks for the new words to filter on here 😘
