It’s included in the Netflix subscription so no additional cost for subscribers. Haven’t heard if it’ll be available for non-Netflix subscribers yet.

The Definitive Edition was supposed to come out for iOS and Android in “the first half of 2022”. Hopefully they spent the additional time fixing all 3 games.

Definitive Edition is the new bit here indeed.

lazycouchpotato OP ,
@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

The Definitive Editions are basically a remaster of the 3 games - higher res textures and models, updated lighting, general improvements, etc.

Rockstar/the studio they gave the project to botched the job pretty hard. Innumerable bugs and glitches, compilations of which can be found on YouTube.

In the 2 years they’ve worked on the Definitive Edition since release, they’ve tackled some bugs, but many still remain. I wouldn’t recommend paying for it yet if you want to try them, and instead stick with the original versions. The older versions might look dated but at least they aren’t a hot mess.

I had a ton of fun playing Ingress in highschool/college – exploring parts of my city I had never been to before, walking around a ton, meeting new people and making friends.

But yeah, it’s a data collection service for Google Maps.

Is this just diversifying for the sake of diversifying – to convince people to maintain their subscriptions, or is there something larger at play?

Like the article said, Netflix has been investing in gaming as well. They have a small but decent lineup.

What’s in it for Netflix and YouTube? Can’t imagine there’s much info to collect for ad purposes.

I’ve been making a post daily in !nytconnections and !crossword for 4 months now. Whatever small community we have there, I’m grateful for it. We’re also happy to accommodate many more people and grow.

If there isn’t a community for something you care about, make one. People will come.

Some hotel elevators have it.

But yeah, I don’t recall the last time I heard music in a residential elevator.

5s time penalty for Max? Man’s gonna have a 30s lead by the end of the race.

Would’ve hoped they’d use the Sphere for more than just a glorified ad board.

I hoped to see some cool graphics. Anything but ads.

At least there’s a speedometer on a separate display.

On the Tesla Model Y there’s only one centre display for everything. I was on a road trip with someone in one and the display froze then automatically rebooted itself. Took a good 5 minutes.

Nothing happened thankfully and the car kept running, but it’s a scary experience when you’re driving 65-70 MPH on a highway. I was worried the car would refuse to continue driving and lock itself or something while it rebooted.

Watching McLaren’s turnaround has been incredibly fun. Hopefully they can carry it into the next year.

    For Mastodon, you gotta find the hashtags about the things you care about.

    For Lemmy, you gotta put in the work to raise the communities you care about. If there are existing communities, post and comment in them. If there isn’t a community about your interest - and if you’re willing - create and maintain them. The people will come.

    I’m all in on the fediverse, and want to watch it flourish.

    lazycouchpotato ,
    @lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

    There’s Pixelfed which is a fediverse alternative to Instagram, but I don’t use it currently as I don’t share my photography online as LCP.

    Peertube is a YouTube alternative but I’m not using that currently as well.

    Other than them, there are other fediverse platforms that are basically Mastodon-like or Lemmy-like.

    Things are fairly wonky right now, but I believe with time, effort and funding many if not all of the fediverse’s issues can be resolved.

    Which Lemmy communities are you a part of that are currently tiny? I can lend a hand in posting/commenting there and keeping them active.

    I like it. Buzzin’ Corner in Suzuka was a fun one as well.

    All that multiplayer bullshit subsidies the single player campaign.

    ??? What? How?

    The game isn’t free – singleplayer or multiplayer(well it was free on Epic Games Store for that one week, but that was years into the game’s release).

    It earned $800 million on release day and $1 billion in 3 days. I don’t think a lot of people would have bought Shark cards at that time.

    Then there’s all the sales after the first 3 days, the release on PS4/Xbox One/PC, and then the re-release on PS5/Xbox Series.

    This article claims they made ~$8 billion in revenue from GTA V as of Q1 FY23. I know games are expensive to make, but surely they don’t cost billions – to a point where their singleplayer campaign needs to be “subsidized”?

    They were showing the highlights for the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix on F1TV and wow, that race was something. 10 retirements.

    Hit Riccardo’s back wing. I’m guessing he’s out as well.

    Hopefully that wasn’t the last overtaking attempt for Norris.

    Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn’t look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.

    Perez down 2 places as well.

    Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.

    What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.

    I disagree with them.

    1. Emojis do not look the same on all platforms. Let’s take white large square ⬜ for example. Emojipedia shows what that emoji looks like on 26 different vendors. Some are pure white, some are shades are grey, and then there’s Microsoft who in its usual infinite wisdom decided it should be purple. large yellow square 🟨 is a tossup between actually yellow and orange. This issue is also exacerbated with different displays displaying colours differently. Factors such as color accuracy, viewing angle, brightness affect how you perceive colour.

    This also extends to face emojis. grinning face with big eyes (Emojipedia link) isn’t that easy to tell apart from grinning eyes (Emojipedia link)

    1. Emoji support depends on your device. I’m on Windows 11 22H2 which recently added support for shaking face 🫨. Problem is, Windows’ emoji picker Win + . (period) doesn’t have it. Trying to login on a friends phone that’s still on iOS 15 or Android 12, before shaking face came out? Enjoy manually copy/pasting the emoji from Emojipedia.

    correct horse battery staple on the other hand looks the same on all devices.

    10 PM is for Pacific. It’s midnight and 1 AM for Central and Eastern respectively.

    It’s the one time Pacific gets to enjoy a race at a decent time. Most races end are at 4-5 AM PST, I believe.

    I don’t know what opinion to form. The openness of Android is constantly abused, but Google seems to be overcorrecting by locking it down more than iOS in certain cases and reducing choices for users to use/customize their device as they like. I can’t backup my damn Minecraft worlds without paying Microsoft $4/month for a server to act as an intermediary, or I have to download an unvetted third-party Minecraft addon. On iOS, the “walled garden”, you can use the Files app or connect to your computer and backup.

    Would decoupling Android from Google help Android’s long-term future? Let some non-profit organization with different goals take over? With that said, it’ll be a big challenge for them to figure out licensing, funding, development, etc.

    I’m on a Pixel 6a running Android 14. Material You has grown on me. I still dislike gesture navigation. Would love to see more lockscreen customization.
