Animal Well
Reminds me of old Spectrum platform games, like Jet Set Willy or Dynamite Dan. Only with better controls.
Sort of Metroidvania. Not overly difficult for the most part, although some bits took me a fair few attempts. Lots of secrets and hidden areas.
Made by a single developer, Billy Basso, who sounds like a comic book character, but a British one who says things like “cor, eh readers?”
I went back to it recently. It’s mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.
Well now I don’t. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I’m set. I’m all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.
I sub to Spotify because it’s easier than pirating. I’m a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I’d probably pay up for it.
But there isn’t. They don’t want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.
Well, the *arr stack can.
That bit is called Bazarr. You do occasionally have to dick about as well, as the subs might not be for that file, different cuts of the movie, different studio credits depending on where it was ripped from, etc.
Fortunately most movie and TV rips contain the subs in the mkv file.
Part of the reason I abandoned Amazon Prime is the complete lack of subtitles on half the content.
You can’t even download the subs from a third party source, because all these services insist you watch everything through their own locked down player.
But you know, there’s a service with all the content you want, subtitles for any language, up to 4K Blu-ray quality visuals and audio, and you never see a “leaving soon” sticker on anything you’re just getting into and still have 4 seasons left to watch. And it’s called Jellyfin.
I spent an afternoon once playing Infinite Craft, which uses some sort of LLM behind the scenes to do it’s combinations.
At one point I got 007, and found 007+007 = 0014.
The maths gets wild though, and because it’s been trained on text, it has no idea when it comes to combinations of numbers it hasn’t seen before. I spent ages trying to get it to 69420 and just couldn’t, although I could get 42069.
Yeah, world news is the one to block on lemmy.ml
Edit: Actually fuck it, just block the whole cesspool. Plenty of alternatives to post to.
TVs have been available in 120Hz and VRR for a while now. Even my 2017 OLED supports 120Hz, albeit only at 1080p.
That said, I don’t see the need to chase that with more expensive hardware. Any game with a choice of performance vs resolution, I find myself swapping to performance mode. I can see extra frames, I struggle to see extra pixels.
