Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer in c/[email protected]

Yep, it is both. Highly recommend this amazing video from Eddie Burbank about it, very entertaining. https://youtu.be/KN63DDD9Y04?si=q6gE98LszfcPzBvy

TIL you can make links to settings by long-pressing them. That's actually awesome as hell.

Evaporative Humidifier in c/[email protected]

I went through a lot of humidifiers for this exact issue until I landed on this guy. https://a.co/d/d9KsgV5

It's not perfect, but it fit nearly all of my needs (which you listed above). It uses Tyua, so it's not local UNLESS you set it up with LocalTyua like I did. The only major downside is, it beeps every time you have it do something via home assistant. If you're crafty, you could probably remove the speaker, but I haven't bothered (yet).

Can you stop lemmy from automatically updating the feed? in c/[email protected]

My understanding is that at the moment, no. It's an artifact of when lemmy was unpopulated. I've heard rumblings that this is going to be changed in the near future though.

Electronic Arts didn't cancel Titanfall 3, Respawn did—and it didn't even tell EA for six months in c/games

Boy, that's a tough pill to swallow. Titanfall 2 was one of my absolute favorite single player FPSs. It's a bit shocking to think the studio that made it decided it wasn't worth continuing.

Good. They are two of the world's biggest gaming companies. Merging them would be a huge blow for competition in the market.

What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Man, this list gave me a rush of nostalgia. I played all of these (except Mabinogi and LaTale) growing up, and their soundtracks are still deep inside me, especially Maple Story.

Far too many to list, but Final Fantasy IX's soundtrack is a tremendous work of art, and a perfect final bow for Nobuo Uematsu from the series. It's always stuck with me among nearly ever other soundtrack.
