This entire channel is great if you're interested in video game animation in general.

Unfortunately, anon died of heart failure after posting this due to consuming "food" from Long John Silvers one (1) time.

Yeah, I think that's definitely one of the roadblocks Lemmy is facing at the moment. Even though I deleted my Reddit account after the API nonsense, I'm absolutely still appending every DDG or Startpage search with "reddit." Especially with the flood of AI-generated garbage filling search results, it's the easiest way to get quick answers from (probably) real people.

However, that also relates to Reddit's other advantage, in that it actually has a decade and a half of content to be indexed in the first place. The magic of Reddit is that every question has been asked in every way at least 5 times over, Lemmy just doesn't have that history yet.

It's pretty good IMO, as someone who hasn't listened to any other Korn album.

Anything Noisia touches is great. The Skrillex songs are also good.

I love watching live service games fail, it never gets old.

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 had a massive impact on my taste in music.

Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer... Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I've been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

but sadly couldn't get into it because I found the races lacking... something...

Yeah, Auto Modellista is a beautiful looking game, but the AI is pretty bad and the driving physics (especially in the NA release) are not very good.

Chemical Brothers' lyrics:

We have no reason to live

We have no reason at all

We have no reason to live

When will they kill us all?

Oh hell yeah I've played almost all of both series.

Flatout 1 is alright, hasn't aged especially well. Suffers from being completely overshadowed by its sequel in every way.

Flatout 2/Ultimate Carnage is still my favorite Bugbear game, with Wreckfest being a close but firm second.

Flatout 3 is.

Flatout 4 is honestly not terrible, but still feels like a cheap imitation of the first 2 games.

Burnout 1 also suffers from sequel shadow.

Burnout 2 is a great arcade racer that no one talks about because...

Burnout 3 is quite possibly the best arcade racer ever made. Absolute masterpiece.

Burnout Revenge is somehow just as good. Whether I prefer this or 3 depends entirely on how much I enjoy traffic checking on that day. I posted Junkie XL - Today to the music community a few days ago because I was playing Revenge recently, what a soundtrack.

Still haven't played Dominator, should probably get around to that.

Burnout Paradise is also excellent in its own right, but I think going open world took away some of the charm that the previous games had. Tracks were so well designed in 3 and Revenge. Still love Paradise too, but 3 and Revenge are just absurdly good.

Fuck yeah. After Test Drive Solar Crown turned out to be live service garbage, I've been waiting for another racing game to look forward to. Hopefully the career mode has a bit more depth than Wreckfest 1.

 

One of my favorite songs of all time.

I can't imagine a future of non-electric cars (assuming cars remain the dominate form of transportation in the US because we suck). They're so much better than ICE cars and it's not even close.

I've owned a Spark EV and a Bolt EV, basically the cheapest EVs you can get, and they're two of the best cars I've ever driven. Driving a family member's brand new ICE Kia felt like going back 50 years. It's so slow, it makes so much noise, it feels like a boat, ugh.

If I had twice the budget for a car, I'd get an Ioniq 5 or 6. If I had quadruple the budget, I'd get a Lucid. If I had half the budget, I'm going back to the ~~street legal go-kart~~ Spark EV. I just can't even consider ICE cars as options anymore after getting used to an EV.

 

So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn't in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger.

My impressions are still very new (I have used it for a total of 2 hours at this point), but I'm super happy so far. Installed Fedora 40 and almost everything works out of the box (including a Wacom MPP stylus). As mudkip mentioned in this blog, the volume buttons don't work when the keyboard is detached and auto-rotation doesn't work. The former isn't a big deal and the latter doesn't affect me in the slightest, but I can confirm those issues are still present on a stock Fedora install.

Anyway, there's not a lot of information about this tablet running Linux out there, is there anything anyone wants me to test or any questions I can answer?

 
 

The last device I own that doesn't run an open source operating system is an iPad. I basically use it as a laptop most of the time with a keyboard case, but I do like being able to take just the screen to use as a drawing/note-taking tablet. I treat it more like a "convertible" device rather than a tablet alone.

I'm not in a rush to replace it, iPadOS is, eh, usable, but there are things that get on my nerves often. I definitely wouldn't be upgrading to another iPad model if this one died. I'm curious on what kind of hardware is available out there with good Linux support that I can keep in mind for the future. My only requirements would be that it runs normal Linux distros (ideally Fedora) and has a pen/display that supports pressure sensitivity.

The Minisforum V3 looks pretty damn cool. There's also the Microsoft Surface devices that ironically seem popular with Linux users. Anyone have any experience with these kinds of devices? What do you think? What's your favorite device in this class?

 

I cannot get enough of Health, everything they've worked on since Death Magic has been so damn good.

 

Hey, here are a couple Steam keys leftover from the latest Humble Bundle. I'm not sure if bot scraping is a problem here like it was on Reddit, so they're base64 encoded.

Long story short: I don’t like iOS but have been using an iPhone for a couple years due to lack of personally viable hardware options on the Android side of things. I’ve gotten tired of waiting and found a good deal on an open box Pixel 8 Pro which arrives in a few days, I’ll be installing GrapheneOS on it.

I’ve used GrapheneOS before on a Pixel 3a. I’m familiar with some must-haves like F-Droid+Aurora Store and AntennaPod, but are there any other apps I should check out once the phone gets here that I’ve been missing out on during my time on iOS? Or just any recommendations at all for cool/useful apps that most people wouldn’t think to search for?

Bonus question for *sonic/Navidrome users, what’s your favorite Android client? I used Substacks last time I daily drove GrapheneOS, but it looks like it might not be actively maintained anymore.

It’s baffling how few views this has.
