Playing Dave the Diver at the moment.

Disappointed that it went on sale hours after I bought it but even at full price it’s worth the price of admission.

I’ve been playing the original Call Of Duty games, starting at the first one. I beat it and United Offensive. I’m working on the second game.

It’s all in service of a write up about the core identity and the design philosophy of the games. How the original games were fresh for their time, and how COD4 used a lot of the sensibilities of the WW2 games that preceded it. There’s a lot to mine and digest in the old games, COD4, and Modern Warfare 2 as a contrast and turning point. I just don’t know if people care enough to follow it.

My PC is in my room. RGB sucks for sleeping.

@creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

Same and to make it even worse I’m very light sensitive when sleeping. I seriously went as far as to unplug my monitor and make a PC cover every night. because the indicator light would keep me up at night.

Just shut down the computer

…wat

otp,

If you’re on Windows, hit the Windows key (or open the start bar) and find the icon that looks like a circle with a vertical dash through to top of it. From there, you’re looking for “shut down”.

This will safely turn off your computer so that the lights will turn off.

Recently I’m back on halo MCC, halo infinite and just started high on life.

I have no ill will to the flamboyant of the many genders, but if a high end component doesn’t have a non-RGB setting or option then I’m not gonna use it. It’s the opposite of a selling point for me.

jaybone,

Is this a trick question?

TrickDacy, do gaming w The rainbows are nice...
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

So? I don’t care what it’s associated with because 1) I’m not a homophobe 2) the color spectrum is neat. All the colors we can see, represented in a neat continuum. It’s just pleasing to the eye.

TrickDacy,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

I still don’t care… But by your logic, what colors sound pretty straight?

Not all the colours, you ever seen brown on a rainbow?

TrickDacy,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

My bad. I should have said all the hues

jerkface,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

Still wrong. Magenta and arguably cyan are missing.

TrickDacy,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

Ok douchebag

HowManyNimons,

Isn’t magenta the pinky bit where blue and red light blend? It’s violet and indigo that are missing.

I have a bunch of these stupid-ass components in my machine, but my case takes care of that bullshit. It is a monolithic black slab with special baffles to prevent light from getting out. It does not even have a fucking power LED. I love it so much.

snugglesthefalse,

Got a fractal design case a few years back, I love my soundproofed metal monolith box

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

Each to their own. I love puking rainbows.

Buddahriffic, do gaming w The rainbows are nice...

PC gamers: either gay or confident enough in their sexuality to not be scared of being associated with rainbows.

At least I’d like to think that, but then gamergate was a thing, so it’s probably more accurate to say that a bunch think rainbows are gay but their rainbow LEDs are an exception or some shit.

Asafum,

I think gamergate was actually pushed pretty far by political actors. I believe that scumbag Steve Bannon actually had a lot of involvement there because he wanted to propagndize to “rootless white men” and create an army of assholes to vote the way he wants. :/

Buddahriffic,

Seems like something Russia would have pushed (along with the opposing side) at the time, too.

Cant we just pick antother icon for LGBT instad of the rainbow that had another meaning? Sometimes when people see a rainbow they think of LGBT

otp,

I’m not sure why you’d be the leader of LGBT, but you’re welcome to suggest an alternative.

While you’re at it, could you also change the icon of the USA? Stars and stripes could be so much cooler without being tied to Captain America.

sarmale, (edited )

Im not lol, Im just thinking a separate flag would reduce confusion, like the trans flag.

Edit-for-clarity:Im not saying the trans flag should replace the rainbow one

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

What “other meaning”?

sarmale,

The rainbow, the natural phenomenon

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

That is not a meaning.

sarmale,

When people saw a rainbow they didnt think of LGBT, Probably did not word it right

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

And when people saw wood they didn’t think of an erect penis but here we are. It’s almost like language and symbols evolve over time.

Your complaint is utterly nonsensical.

sarmale,

Yeah I know words change over time, but wood meaning that was probably to avoid saying penis or something like that, They couldve adopted a different flag, like they did with the trans one. Now maybe they could chose this to avoid censorship, not sure, that makes sense

Stamets,
@Stamets@lemmy.world avatar

You openly admit you don’t know why the rainbow was chosen for the pride flag but then say that they should change it anyway?

Bruh. Like I said. Utterly nonsensical complaint. Either way we’re not changing it. Gonna have to cope with it buddy.

jerkface,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

Lemme see if I have this straight.

You want to pick a new symbol for the gays, but you want to use a symbol that has no other meaning associated with it. Can’t use multicoloured arcs because that already symbolizes the rainbow itself. So by that logic, you can’t use ANY existing concept or image of any previously existing thing.

Dude, just be honest with yourself. The Gays give you weird feelings you’re not willing to examine.

AltheaHunter,

Holocure is a surprisingly good survivors-like and it works perfectly on steam deck with no changes. Just don't change resolution on PC to something sd can't handle.

@Starayo@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I’m not even particularly into hololive besides very occasionally watching some highlight videos. The game is amazing. And free. I played the absolute hell out of it after giving it a shot, just like I did with vampire survivors.

If liking WRGB is gay then call me Miles Davis, or something.

I have like 30 WLED fixtures in my house. I’m working on pixel maping the whole house so you can literally watch a movie INSIDE the house.

ArmokGoB,

The movie is coming from inside the house

DaddleDew, do gaming w The rainbows are nice...

That rainbow effect is just the default demo mode and is the peripheral’s manufacturer’s way to advertise that the LEDs inside are RGB. This means that the LEDs can be customized to be any color or combination of color that the owner wants at the press of a button. It eas say and simple to do.

The whole point of it is customization. And yet for some reason a lot of people leave it on the default demo rainbow mode after buying it.

benignintervention,

I can identify your “for some reason.” Reason: I am lazy.

UndercoverUlrikHD,
@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

I’m sure a fair chunk of people are like me that don’t care about RGB and only got it because it’s easier/cheaper to get components with RGB than without. And I’m not downloading bloatware just to turn it off.

MotoAsh,

There is FOSS that can control most RGB schemes that can be controlled from software.

Though I’m sortof like you in that I installed nothing, so I don’t have references or a user experience. Luckily, I could turn off all the BS in the BIOS, so I have a nice and dark machine without having to dig.
