Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1
  • Looks like GTA V with mods. I don't get everyone being so excited about the graphics.

    Maybe this are console players who haven't seen GTA V on PC but graphics wise it doesn't seem like a huge upgrade.

    Sure I'm excited for the story and new possibilities like being able to enter more buildings and maybe more activities like in rdr2 but graphics wise it kinda looks "normal".

  • Chipset driver. Do I need one?

    Hello!

    I'm reinstalling windows 10 on my laptop (MSI GS66 Stealth 10se) from scratch and only enabling security updates therefore I need to install all the drivers on my own.

    So far I have installed my Intel integrated graphics driver and a wireless driver and a driver for my dedicated GPU. I got all of these straight from Intel's website and not from my laptops manufacturers website.

    On my laptops manufacturer website I can also see a chipset driver. I tried to look for it on Intel's website but only found a "Chipset INF Utility" (driver?). After looking on google and over the interwebs I found out that this INF Utility isn't really a driver but needed for naming some system components in the windows devices settings (devmgmt.msc).

    I downloaded this supposed chipset driver form my laptop manufacturer's website and it seemed to be an older version of this INF Utility from Intel. But if this INF Utility is not a driver (laptop manufacturer calls it a driver) do I need a chipset driver? How do I know If I need one anyways? And where do I get a chipset driver if I need one?

    Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • I don't really see how this is bad for Lemmy. Let me rephrase what I said as well:

    Let them add those features. People who use metas instance wouldn't have come to Lemmy in the first place. The users who "just don't care avoiding meta" aren't on here now (maybe there's a miniscule amount that's how I see it). They will come when this threads thing properly rolls out. In my opinion Lemmy won't significantly change when this happens since people who wanted to stay on reddit did and those who are here now are trying out the better Boss way of living and probably won't switch to meta as soon as it comes out. Therefore this won't cause any trouble. Just block the meta instance "out of sight out of mind".

    Imagine hanging out with a group of friends and someone from outside starts harassing you and that person really doesn't like you. Are you going to start hanging out with them? Obviously not. Just chill with your friends and don't mind them. Nothing about your friends is going to change.

    I doubt that someone who got used to the free libre FOSS style of life and really enjoys it would switch to meta. No clue what meta would have to offer to them to switch. I think its easier to switch in the other direction.

  • [Solved] Looking for name of a PC game (Windows XP) where you are a disc/ ball
  • @Noremac@lemmy.world

    Thanks for your answer! But unfortunately neither is the game. The graphics in "Marble Madness" are too old and the graphics of "Switchball" are a little too good. It was similar to the Mario N64 DS slide graphics and it had like a "3rd person view" like Chromadrome/ GTA etc. It was more like 2000-2001 graphics. Similar to Tonic Trouble and M:Alien Paranoia graphics wise.

  • [Solved] Looking for name of a PC game (Windows XP) where you are a disc/ ball

    I don't know if its the right Lemmy community to ask but I thought its worth a try haha.

    So I'm looking for the name of a game I played around 2000-2007 on windows XP. I would say this game has some similarities to exo one. It‘s also very similar to the game “SpaceRoads” (it’s on steam). The difference to SpaceRoads is that you actually slide down as well (if I remember correctly) and are some sort of ball not a space ship. You’re a ball or disc on a huge slide in space. Your objective is to slide all the way down to finish the level. I think there was a bigger cube after the finish line where you had to slide in. You could easily fall down and there were some obstacles in your way. There were also power ups that let you slow down time when you held down space (you also changed color while slowing down time and holding down space). Another power up was the ability to jump also by pressing space (you also changed color) and one more power up was speeding up by holding down space (not sure about this power up). I’m not really sure about the power up pickups. Maybe it was like one level with the ability to jump when pressing space and the next level with the ability to slow down time while holding space.

    Its similar to the game Ballance and Chromadrome. Its like a combination of Ballance, Chromadrome and SpaceRoads.

    Any help is hugely appreciated. Thanks everyone!:)

    Edit: Graphics wise its similar to the Mario N64 DS multiplayer slide level where youbl could race against your multiplayer buddy.

    Delete Reddit history

    Hello Lemmy!

    How do you recommend dealing with your old reddit account/ posts? Should I delete my old posts or just leave them there? Or maybe replace everything with the same text?

    I heard that reddit might be restoring deleted posts. Would editing the post and then deleting it or just editing it be the better alternative to just deleting it?

    I've seen the post that recommends doing all that BEFORE the API shutdown but now it's after so I figured maybe something had changed about the tactics?

    How did you go about it?

    Lemmy account deleted

    I created a month ago a Lemmy account using a throwaway email. Now I cannot sign in anymore. Is it possible that lemmy.world deleted my account around a week after it's creation?

    Lemmy instances

    Hello, I just have a quick question regarding lemmy instances.

    If one instance doesn't allow creating new communities and I register a lemmy account on that instance am I going to be able to create a new community on another instance using that lemmy account? Also if it has turned off downvotes is it possible to downvote posts on other instances?
