The Eight-Bit Link

@Pirat_Nation Flash games used to come with preloader games.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a new patent that could make waiting in games less boring. The idea is to show picture-in-picture content on the screen during loading times, matchmaking, or other delays. Instead of only showing a loading screen, players could watch useful content while they wait. This may include gameplay tips, story recaps, livestreams, tutorials, mini-games, or community videos. >Players could see extra content while games load or search for matches. >Content may include tips, videos, tutorials, and live streams. >The feature could help new players learn the game faster. >Some gamers are worried it could later be used for ads.

@Dexerto 8GB RAM? Mr. Moneybags here.

An upcoming RPG has announced it will feature a “potato mode” for PC’s that aren’t powerful enough for higher specs Outward 2’s potato graphics will only require minimum specs to play on even old computers

@blacksmith4423 You know, if the measurement was accurate, I imagine some hobbies would find this really useful...

@DaTa_jp Is that Loid Forger?

#アシンメトリーの車はキモい ってさ、、、 シンメトリーだったらキモくないみたいな言い方するのは止めなよ

@dpolehn Mine was done by a house tipper, so I keep finding nonsense. My favorite was the live(!) wire dangling in the wall space with a box on the end, and the hole for it covered up with a blanking plate held in place with gorilla glue.

"The most unexpected opponent you will face in life is the person who owned your house before you." I had one of these days today

@CryptoCyberia 3TB era was all anyone needed to know.

@tuuu28283 'Hey' is great in a casual situation. It depends on delivery. Add a smile, maybe hang onto the 'y' ('Heyyy!'), and/or a follow up ("How are you doing?") and you're golden.

アメリカの兄弟達 hellowは挨拶で普通に使うのはわかるんだけど兄弟達に会った時に heyって挨拶は失礼になりますか？？

@sosuke_slot Why does it look like steel wool?

ファミマでゴミを買わされました。 詐欺だろコレ…

Cool AI bro.

@FanlessTech But what if you put a fan on the passive cooling...

Team passive or active cooling?

@hiranoi_nomade Absolutely! My dad is smoking something right now!

The greatest linux customization I've done was set the Thinkvantage button to open a terminal.

@Itsfoss At one point I had a toggle on my system tray. I might actually put it back.

Has AI made people so stupid that they are not even aware of the "do nothing when laptop lid is closed" option?

@TeamYouTube Awful, low-quality.

@2ray_degenemax Needs to be a mix. Something like 67 cents. At least one state quarter.

アメリカから5セント硬貨とか持ち帰って、カップホルダーとかに放置したら本物のアメ車っぽくなるかな？ 高速道路の休憩所にあるパンフレットやファストフード店の紙袋が床に落ちてたらアメリカ人の車に近づけると思う。

@tanpukunokami Would it be okay to visit as a tourist? It feels like it might be an intrusion...

This might be hard to believe, but… Everyone knows Shinjuku. Everyone knows Golden Gai. Every tourist wants that tiny Tokyo bar experience. But about 15 minutes from Shinjuku, there’s a neighborhood called Nishi-Ogikubo. No giant neon signs. No long tourist lines. No “must-see Tokyo” hype. Just small bars, yakitori shops, old cafés, secondhand bookstores, antique shops, and locals drinking like they’ve been going there for 30 years. You probably won’t find it on a first-time Tokyo itinerary. It doesn’t feel like a place made for tourists. It feels like a place people actually live in.

@threenotes_jp How does breakfast for a traveller work? I noticed most things don't open early, so I suspect there was something I was missing.

海外のみんなへ。 海外から見て、 「日本人って不思議だな」 って思うところありますか？ 文化でも、 性格でも、 日常でも何でも気になります。

@CryptoCyberia Dang. Well, maybe it'll be good enough for non-performance usage.
