I'm now imagining a professional-level FPV drone racing controller/pilot just blasting it at 100mph (which iirc is about the speed they race at in corridors) through the shool to drive by pepper-spray someone.
I mean, I'm sure whoever came up with this idea imagined it exactly like that, and ngl it would look pretty cool :D
Oh, cool, TIL. Even though I had a lot of handhelds, I never actually noticed that.
https://www.ecosia.org/, a search engine iirc non-profit that is trying to be as energy-neutral on renewables as possible, while also investing all of their profit into climate action, i.e planting trees. They have transparent budgets and do look pretty trustworthy, although I've never really looked into them too much.
noai.duckduckgo.com a version of Duck Duck Go, a pretty well known search engine, that disables the AI summary by default via an easy link.
Kind of both. It's basically a frontend for emulators, where you are in a most archetypal 80s room, with a large CRT TV that runs the emulator, and you get all your roms as physical discs/cartriges on your shelf, with emu cores being actual consoles you connect to the TV, put a disk/cartridge in, and then you can sit in front of the TV and play.
It's extremely immersive, the games feel so much better on an "actual" CRT TV.
https://youtu.be/73XVOeRuu9A?t=237 It's not as apparent in 2D without VR, but you can get an idea at this timestamp.
This, aside from recently playing Death Stranding I got for free, and occasional Guild Wars 2 because they are pretty cool, I have not paid for (or played) an AAA game for years at this point.
There's so many cool indie games if you know where to dig, there's really no need to play another remastered AAA slop.
With Ecosia and noai.DDG right there, I don't see any reason why would you ever use Google.
I only see it when I open a new browser on a VM or something by accident, and it just sucks and makes me immediately leave.
Most of my search usage is looking up concrete websites because I don't have history on and am lazy to remember or type the whole URL, and google is the only one where I have to click through a screen blocking dialog then scroll through LLM bullshiting about something before I can get to the link.
If you have VR, I highly recommend EmuVR for all console emulator needs.
Plopping yourself on the ground in front of an actual CRT is such a different and incomparably better experience than playing them on flat LcD screens, it really pleasantly suprised me.
Oh, saves are saved on the cartridge, not the console? Or am I misunderstanding something?
I found the same image from April, 2024. A few articles about it from this week, but also a few here and there, including one post on 9Gag (wow, haven't heard that name in a looong time), from April 2024.
So, if it's real, it's not recent.
I've been anthropomorphizing a lot of my tech, kitchen appliances, plants, tools, bags, and anything else I use often enough in general.
It helps me often, I'm looking for it often, so it deserves a name and a little character. Looking for Mr. Bagginson is more fun that just loosing your bag. All in a good fun, of course.
The best I could do with AI are occasional slurs when talking about it. The way it's trying to make you anthropomorphize it and sound human is so extremely off-putting I never even considered it. Fuck that shit.
still willing to drop 80 dollars on it.
With added actual felony on top. Several, probably.
