I tried that Replika app before AI was trendy
Same here, it was unbelievably shallow. Everything I liked it just mimiced, without even trying to do a simulation of a real conversation. “Oh you like cucumbers? Me too! I also like electronic music, of course. Do you want some nudes?”
Even when I’m at my loneliest, I still prefer to be lonely than have a “conversation” with something like this. I really don’t understand how some people can have relationships with an AI.
I’d say its mostly convenience. Discord is easier to use on mobile devices and provides voice chat.
Thank you! :) It’s definitely a passion project for me, because I love the game so much.
I run a forum where the first post was started 23 years ago. Although the activity has drastically gone down during recent years, people still occasionally come by. I’m very happy I kept it up, even though a lot of people switched over to a Discord server.
Recently we had an incident where the sole admin of the Discord server was banned and the whole Discord had to be abandoned and created from scratch. People still keep using this trash! I’m not arguing with them, I’ll just keep an alternative up. One day, when Discord really enshittifies itself to a point where it becomes unuseable, people will be happy for my stubborness. I hope.
(It’s a forum for an obscure space pirate game for the PC - I-War 2. Its first post is here.)

Run some games in higher resolution/framerate with GoldHen Cheats Manager (especially on PS4 Pro). And you can play games like P.T., which was removed from storefronts a while ago.
Not really, everything else should just work. At least if you don’t plan to buy an obscure USB sound card or something like that 😄
Have fun!
Nvidia drivers on Linux are messy and have been for a long time. It took them ages to fix Vsync in Wayland. If you want to run Linux, go AMD (or Intel).
It’s the current header image from ionomycin on Tumblr. I’m afraid there’s no higher res version :(
I guess we could ask him to release one… :)
Yep, Adobe software still phones home even when it’s cracked. But there’s supposedly a list of hosts you can block to stop this behaviour: https://a.dove.isdumb.one/list.txt
Similar experience: One guy was seeding all of the old uncensored episodes of The Three Investigators and I’m so grateful for that. It’s pretty popular here in Germany, but despite that, no one seems to share it. There are episodes on Spotify, but they are censored and some of the music has been replaced with a modern rendition.

I’ve seen the occasional copyright notice on that site before, it was inevitable.
Use knockd and iptables, gone are the fucking bots.
