I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but … (lemmy.world)

I didn’t play any Zelda since Ocarina of Time which I loved. I was expecting to have the same feeling in BOTW but I just can’t get into it.

After a few time into it I feel lost. I know that I have to go to some dungeon in the mountains but I just can’t because the character is freezing to death. I cannot afford spending hours randomly exploring the map, relying on luck to discover which mechanic protects agains the cold. There is no guidance except for the fact that there is a dungeon to explore.

I looted a nice sword but after very few encounters it broke in the middle of a fight. Weapons being so fragile just do not make sense, maybe some people appreciate that but knowing that whatever looted is going to be destroyed just make me want to stop playing.

If anyone felt the same, did it click at some point into the game ?

At home my breville delivers espresso’s at 93 degrees C. But it cools quickly in porcelain cups. Did they serve the coffee at boiling temperature?

I love this dog. Medium to high energy, a bit stubborn, but smart and playful. Loves kids.

I remember thinking Steam would die in less than 6 months because nobody wanted dematerialised games…

I’m from Europe (Belgium) and did not know it was like this in Australia. Keep fighting this mess. Good luck from the other side of the earth.

Are those pillars structural ?

Brother was good but I’m disappointed by the last units I had. After 4 years of light home usage (one page here and there), they are not picking up paper in the tray. Same for some relatives which bought similar units. Feels like scheduled obsolescence …

Isn’t that breed forbidden in some countries ? I remember reading something about the Netherlands…

People Hire Phone Bots to Torture Telemarketers by Maraval26 in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Maraval26@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I asked Bing GPT4 how I can do that on iPhone. Here is the answer :

There are some apps and services that claim to use AI to answer telemarketers calls on your iPhone. One of them is Jolly Roger Telephone, which uses ChatGPT and voice cloning to create and read scripts to telemarketers, acting as digital, fictitious characters that keep scammers on the line¹². You can subscribe to this service for $24.99 a year and access the accompanying apps to view, listen, and share recorded calls between the bot and the frustrated telemarketer¹. Another app is Call Control, which features smart block technology to automatically block calls from millions of spammers, telemarketers and robocallers³. You can download this app for free from the App Store³. I hope this helps you deal with pesky telemarketers.😉

Anyone tried ?

Do you think you get 5 days workweeks and paid holidays just because your ancestors politely asked for it ?

STIB - MIVB those entrance - exit gates in the stations (lemmy.world)

When I saw the first STIB - MIVB portals a few years ago, I was thinking they wouldn’t last long due to how agressive they are. Although being an honest commuter paying all my trips, I have been almost sliced in two by them multiple times (without injuries except for my self esteem ). but those doors slamming into elderly persons could send them to the hospital.

And now we even have to scan to get out of some stations, this is generating extra delay during peak hours, sometimes there are only two lanes for a whole fucking metro… Everyone having to scan, not everyone is ready to scan, sometimes the scanning does not work for a single person which adds another extra delay… There is no way to have a soooth exit flow.

If we want to reduce the number of cars in Brussels we need to find better solutions…

Well not all computers can be upgraded unfortunately. Looking at you MacBooks with SSDs welded to the motherboard…

Lol ! Look like it is actively pushing users to stop using Twitter. I wish there was something similar on Reddit. My health would have dramatically improved 😅

That is crazy. I spent hours one week ago deleting manually all my comments. I had an empty profile. After reading this post I checked my account and all my comments are back. That is crazy. What a shit company. I’m hesitant to submit GDPR request since I feel like I’ll lost account access with comments still visible…
