Oh it is straight up necromancy and Black Ops might be necrophilia.

on Marvel's Wolverine motorcycle section and quicktime events are getting the wrong kind of attention because "the game plays itself" and "you don't have to press anything" in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago
Excellent point.

Just had a video from a random YT gamer pop up in my feed where he tried out the motorcycle chase on second highest difficulty.
He exited the pause menu, put the controller down and he didn’t have to touch it until after the cut scene where Wolverine jumps off the bike onto the truck.
Bro died but he was far enough that he had passed a checkpoint so it just picked back up halfway through the chase.
I have it wishlisted but I won’t buy it until it’s $10

It only costs $2.99.

on [Discussion] Isekai that is really good, in your opinion? in c/anime@ani.social · 15 Sep 2026
Tsuki Michi. The anime skipped a big chunk of the LN and manga, to the point where the manga is behind the anime.

on GrapheneOS defends use of AI for coding in c/technology@lemmy.world · 10 Sep 2026
AI in concept is not evil and could be a good thing .
Unfortunately, its implementation has been at the hands of rapacious, avaricious, and narcissistic über-capitalists, which has inextricably linked AI with the evils you enumerated.
In a different timeline, AI was developed slowly, using heavily-vetted and legally obtained data, and rolled out in an intelligent and safe way.

On their flagship phones.

on What’s the difference between F-35 and Gripen fighter jets? in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 6 Sep 2026
I was expecting a punch line. Like the Gripen is cheaper because you have to assemble it yourself. Or the active stealth features on the F-35 require a subscription.

Such a bottom.

on XCancel also served cease and desist letter from Xitter in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
Mastodon and Bluesky will probably get another boost with this, then it’ll go back to how it’s been.
There are far too many bots for human account deletions to really make a dent in Xitter’s numbers.

Exactly. Graphene is not for the poors, still. Even used phones that can run it can be pricey.

Gotta have an account for that. So no.

I just downloaded it. No sign up necessary but it asks for a birthdate. (I just picked June 4 1989 randomly, ofc.)
It uses AI to translate from Chinese to your selected language. The image below shows available languages.

You don’t need to login to upvote videos. However, you not be able to comment or reply. Also, viewing comments is limited.
To create your account, you have to provide your phone number, which is an automatic “not happening” for me.
Once your phone number is “bound”, you can link your Google account for your login. This will make it easier for East-West cooperation in data mining and mass surveillance.
You can also use an email and password of your own choosing.
Overall, I can’t see me actually binding my phone number to make an account.
Anyway, here’s what my feed looked like when I opened the app and skipped account creation/login:

Some AI looking slop, of course.
Of the first dozen or so, only two seemed interesting - the Rick Roll meme history and a Brazilian explaining how to use “lá ele” in conversation. (I speak Brazilian Portuguese so this was actually very cool to see.)

on Rideshare Stimulator finally gets its genAI disclosure after much Saber-rattling, and it turns out the game also uses the tech for in-game music in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Glad I blocked them on Steam. The odds of me actually buying one of their games anyway was fairly low until a couple of days ago. Now it’s zero.

on [Review/Re-Post from Reddit] Rent-a-Girlfriend: A harem show that failed to be a harem in c/anime@ani.social · 15 Aug 2026
I watched one and a quarter episodes of RAG. It was truly awful. I only started the second episode because I really hoped against all hope that everyone was going to die or stop being a total waste.
Can’t wait for Fallout 5: Skyrim Crossover Edition.
Turns out Heimskr was working with the Thalmor the whole time and after Ulfric captured Hoover Dam, the Khajit Commonwealth just said “fuck it” and nuked everyone.
Well, it was skooma spiked with Nuka Cola.
The Radskeevers are everywhere and are a pain to kill.
