  • Parents of Lemmy, how much do you spend on Christmas presents for your kids each year?

    Jump

  • Parent of late teens here - around £200 each (usually clothes or various bits they’ve asked for), unless there’s a big present involved that I’m interested in too (like a new games console), which would be a more expensive year.

  • If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

  • I got you. It’s an entry in the Portal franchise, with the “2” indicating that it is the second in the series.

  • The Elder Scrolls 6 is "still a long way off", says Todd Howard, but development is his "everyday thing"

  • There’s a very good chance that my daughter, who was too young to play games when Skyrim was released, will be long into adulthood by the time TES 6 is released. Blows my mind.

  • Not my bag, but I reckon hent.ai would be a popular niche.

  • Yes, Jersey obviously has different geography, and I would absolutely take the locals’ opinion on what they’d prefer. This isn’t advocating for it on Jersey, rather a comment on my region, as invariably the holistic “fuck cars” perspective get applied everywhere and I don’t believe it’s ever that black and white.

    That said, I’d still rather see Bergerac driving round in his Triumph than riding a bike 😜

  • I know this will be a controversial take, but I live in a rural town where most houses are hundreds of years old, and like many European towns, car parking was obviously never considered during its construction. Not having a car is, unfortunately, not an option here for most, due to the town’s geographic location, rurality and public transport availability. If I want to take a train to a city here which is a 2 hour drive away, it’s a 5 hour journey during which I have to change trains in literally another country to get there.

    That aside, because cars are - for the foreseeable future at least - essential here, everyone has one. And since the houses and roads weren’t constructed to accommodate parking, there are cars parked on roads and pavements everywhere. Some parking restrictions have come into place over the years to prevent obstructions, which has meant cars are often left wherever people can find a space. In my immediate area, most people have at least a 5 minute walk to their vehicle. This sounds acceptable, but there are a large number of elderly drivers that live in the town, which itself is extremely hilly, and is unhelpful for them.

    New build estates are cropping up all around the town, and while not all of them have drives or parking spaces, most do, and it makes those areas considerably more accessible.

    Yes, this will likely increase house prices, but locally that’s not the major factor. Around here it’s second-home owners that use them as holiday lets, or summer homes to escape from the city. A crackdown on that would have a far greater impact on local house prices without affecting accessibility for locals.

  • They’d only need to add one more breakable advertising board than FH5 for the claim to be true

  • Im an unworthy Fraud when it comes to Tech

    Jump

  • Exactly the same. I've been a "developer" for decades, often using a new language for a single project, then never touching it again for years, until I've forgotten the basic syntax. I'm an expert in nothing.

    Stack Overflow, random Indian YouTubers, Google and now AI have been essential throughout my career.

    You only need to know enough. Know what you want to achieve and the rough steps for how to get there, and somebody or something can fill in the blanks.

  • Tbh I swear by it. It's so much better than the shitty interface of my "smart" TV.

  • AppleTV usually, but if you're just screen mirroring it shouldn't matter.

    I suspect using the YouTube app and Chromecast might do some weird double-streaming thing at the Chromecast end if you're still getting ads.

  • The closest I've come to this is using Safari for YouTube rather than an app. There are ad blockers that can block the ads in YouTube (I use Vinegar) then you can cast as normal.

  • Why doesn’t Apple/Samsung/Google use new tech like every other phone maker?

    Jump

  • Love that the downvote and blunt reply suggests you think I'm not agreeing with you.

    It was another example of a massive computer company surprisingly being unable to include a bread-and-butter feature at the launch of their new mobile computing devices.
