LoFi-Enchilada

You’re totally right! I just looked at the interview again, and he was referring to the XBOX One / PS4 gen.

Spencer went out to say that they lost the most important generation to lose (XBOX One gen, not the current one. Corrected thanks to @Boldizzle ), and that they were going back to the drawing board to turn things around. They just hiked up the prices of Game Pass and the XBOX Series X. They also basically confirmed that there won’t be any mid-gen “pro” model and that they expect the next gen to come in 2028. And now their plan to buy the industry is also failing.

So what’s next? I doubt they have a queue of heavy hitting first party exclusives in the oven to maintain them until 2028. I’m almost certain that they expected to buy themselves some time by acquiring studios and turning their IPs into system-seller XBOX exclusives.

For me it was RESIDENT EVIL: Code Veronica.

My dad bought a Dreamcast in early 2001. I was 7 years old and long story short, he also bought Code Veronica and Maken X which both were the fuel of my nightmares back then. My English proficiency was barely enough to understand the menus and such, but I couldn’t follow the story. I could never get past the first cabin and all I remembered were the burning, pale zombies, twitching on the ground.

Years later in my teens, I bought it when it was released for PS3 and I couldn’t get past the first half hour of gameplay due to extreme boredom. I thought it took itself too seriously and was super mediocre.

Now, at almost 30, I downloaded it for my iPad and I’m having a blast. It’s not serious or boring AT ALL… all the contrary; it’s the goofiest, corniest RE game I’ve ever played and that’s saying a lot considering "Master of Unlocking”, “Jill Sandwich” and “boulder punching Chris” are a thing. Granted, it has a ton of annoying backtracking, but once you get to the dialogue bits, the cringyness makes all the backtracking worth it.

It’s incredibly childish to asume a bunch of John Oliver memes are going to make Reddit “lose”. They’ll “win” no matter what.

Once people start getting tired of the John Oliver meme, they’ll either just stop and leave Reddit, or continue to use it normally. Mark my words: in 2 months, go and click the profiles of everyone memeing around with the Oliver stuff, and most of them will have normal activity on Reddit as if nothing had happened. And subs that continue with the memes are just going to be abandoned while replacement subs will surface and get bigger than the originals.

The only way Reddit is going to feel a hit is if hundreds of thousands people edit their entire comment and post history, delete their accounts, and never visit the site again. But then again, Facebook had a much, MUCH worse situation and they’re still fine.

Yeah, I’m also a recent iPad Pro user. Last Apple product I bought was an iPod Video back in 2005.

Apple’s Keychain is just like BitWarden but is obviously much, much better integrated than BitWarden on an iDevice. It also has some neat options to suggest you different kinds of secure-passwords and it alerts you when one of them has been leaked. As far as it being secure, I’m know nothing about data security, but all the mumbojumbo on their tech specs sounds secure enough to me.

“See, to me that speaks to a lack of awareness.” and now "To me this says you’re intentionally looking for something to get offended about.”

Nice way of going around life just making wild assumptions about everything so your imagination carving for drama gets pleased, but no one is getting remotely offended. Plus you’re wrong, ask any Spanish speaking person where Cali is and they’ll say Colombia.

Illuminate me with your logic then… If I say I’m from Mexico, am I from New Mexico USA since it’s much more recognizable in the broader “English and Spanish speaking culture”? Or am I from Mexico City since it has more residents?

But all righty then, let’s just inherit the Reddit way and dismiss this entire thread (buncho’ offended foreigners looking to get offended, pshh…), and just default every conversation, place, name, and topic to the USA. 👍

Without a doubt Nintendo DS.

SEGA/PlayStation kid. Never liked Nintendo first parties but man, the library on DS is amazing even if you exclude all the Marios and Zeldas and whatnot.

I also had a PSP 1000 and later I did chores to save for a PSP GO and then a VITA, but even after CFWing all of them, 8/10 times I’d pick up my DSi over the other handhelds. To this date I still sleep with my DSi and New 3DS XL next to my bed.

Cali is the actual name of the Colombian city. "Cali” is, as @jcb2016_, said, just a ghetto way of saying “California”.

In any case, the lack of awareness comes from whoever defaults everything to the USA.

I think people need to cut the bullshit and tell it how it is:

• This whole fediverse thing ISN’T user friendly nor it is as practical as the main community platforms out there. This isn’t a substitute for Reddit.
• Content and interaction is lacking, but it’s up to us to change that.
• The communities are VERY fragmented. Between instances, some instances using exclusively microblogs, others using microblogs and threads… some magazines having their individual rules on which content should be microblogged and what should be threaded, duplicated communities across instances… it’s all a mess right now.

And after all, there’s something here worth building and following. Right now it’s underwhelming but who knows… maybe in a decade Jenny will use Kbin to write a quick rant about boba tea, and have other thousands of non-techies engaging with her.
