oh my fucking god thanks, this is literally it! all it took was one lemmy comment lol

I could only think of Happy Wheels lol. Quick searching led me to Cyclomaniacs and Adrenaline Challenge, not sure if these are even close

There’s this one Flash game that was basically only ever featured in one Flash game website (AFAIK), it played almost exactly like Swords and Sandals (it’s a clone that’s got nothing to do with the original series), but with this one, you could also choose to be an anthropomorphic animal and you start off with a fish for a weapon. It seemingly vanished from the face of earth, it’s probably not even in the Flashpoint Archive…

That said, I’ve found most Flash games I played back in the Flash heydey by complete accident (e.g. via YouTube recommendations), games like Chasm, Haunted House, The Farmer, Nightmares, The Adventures Series, except for this one for whatever reason.

I never really began a wild goose chase over this one, but it still lives in the back of my mind sometimes… But I did make it my mission to document flash games I used to play in case I want to ever revisit them lol.

I’m skipping both and going for the Lisuan G100, if it drops soon this year.

recently ripping/re-encoding my Blu-rays and DVDs.

Respect, I hope to see them seeded 🏴‍☠️, if you catch my drift

Thanks for the tips. I’ve read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don’t matter to me at all, since I don’t intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what’s under the table :)… That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn’t really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

EDIT:

Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker’s estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I’m currently second-guessing my PSU choice now…

I kinda want an individual consumer-friendly, low-end/mid-end alternative that can run my games and video editing software for very small projects… so far I’m only eyeing the Lisuan G100, which seems to fit that bill…

This seems cool though, other than AI, it could be used for distributed cloud computing or something of that sort

Oh, right 🤦‍♂️… I missed the mark on that one. Point is, the CPU is pretty good for its intended audience and usecases.

If we’re to compare this entry-level CPU clearly designed by a newcomer company and honed for one or two niches, to the current top-of-the-line, catch-all CPU backed by a brand that has had decades in the processor game, then yeah obviously it’s not going to fare well. There’s still some merit to this type of CPU (like say, if the price is right) and it could pave the way for better iterations.

We don’t make the same comparison for the quality & efficiency of healthcare in the brands’ respective countries, now do we? :)

From what I’ve read so far (not much admittedly, I could be wrong), no, but the N variant (KX-7000N) has it. Seems like a missed opportunity for MAXHUB and their PC…

If I can skirt the conversation to talk more about the soundtrack and less about the ambiance (which I will), then Dicey Dungeons. I deliberately stall battles just to hear more of the OST. Tempting Fate is my favorite track.

I was hoping it could be embedded, but this is a nice-to-know, thanks!

i’m clueless about torrents and Lemmy, can you embed them in posts/comments somehow? The closest thing I could think of is using a Framatube instance, but I don’t think you can embed them

Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn’t want to be part of the burden… I’m not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a “gaming clips” community.

That said, it’s nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I’m not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it’d be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list… Just spitballing here.

Are the GPUs commercially available yet? :o We need a website akin to “are we rust yet” but for chinese GPUs/CPUs

Yep, as expected from an average lib, there it is. Not only are you incapable of answering simple questions to back up your frivolous platitudes, you deflect with retorts and you keep moving the goalpost and/or segue into subjects that have nothing to do with DeepSeek. Keep on it all you want, it’s called cope, and you’ll be riding that train for a while.

Fortunately for you by the way, that tired and labored topic has been covered in class before: https://lemmy.ml/post/24883639/16142507

For as long as you are unable to answer these questions, you’ll forever be at odds with reality, lib.

You can register your account without having to supply a phone number. You can use the service without querying your phone number or other forms of PII. Privacy minded individuals sometimes have to use proprietary services (e.g. at work, at school) and do so with caution and they make sure to exercise common-sense too when going in, you know? Once again, you can literally just self-host if you’re not too trusting of the online version. You have a choice.

Now tell me: have you tried DeepSeek before the DDoS attacks (or self-hosted it)? What’s the catch with using DeepSeek? What’s stopping you from self-hosting, aside from technical requirements? What makes DeepSeek not “good”, “fast” and “free”?
