I'll give you five bucks and a pack of gum. That's pretty generous, imo.

Windows 10 refugees flock to Linux in what devs call their "biggest launch ever" in c/linux@lemmy.ml

After several months of experimenting with different distros, I just yesterday made the full-time switch to Linux Mint. I'm pretty happy with it so far, I'm just wondering why I hadn't done it sooner.

Let's Build Gunpla - Shining Gundam (spectra.video)
 

Today we are building the 2011 HGFC version of Shining Gundam from the derisive Mobile Fighter G Gundam anime. We're also comparing this more modern figure with the original gunpla version of the Shining Gundam released in 1994. What are the differences, and which is better? In terms of boxes, there's no competition, at least.

Users vow to boycott Spotify after streamer runs ICE recruitment ad in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] JoshsJunkDrawer@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Are these the same users that that vowed to boycott Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Substack? Or are these the same users that vowed to boycott when Spotify started banking Joe Rogan and other rightwingers?

I've stopped using all of the above years ago, I'm no hypocrite, but I also know the number of people who will drop Spotify over this are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of its massive user base. Nothing will ever change when it comes to big social media/tech companies like this because too many people don't actually care.

Sweet Peanut Soup | unCANny (spectra.video)
 

Taisun Peanut Soup is a delicious sweet treat. But not everyone feels that way. I was sad to see one of my favorite YouTubers, Atomic Shrimp, didn't like this. So today I'm going to show the positive side to this delicious treat.

Chroma Squad - The Best Power Rangers Game Ever Made (spectra.video)
 

Chroma Squad is a fantastic turn-based RPG that is both a loving homage to the Power Rangers. Rather than fighting evil as the Crayon Box of Justice, you instead play a manager of a new Super Sentai TV show hoping to become the greatest show on television. It's a formula that works fantastically.

Pac-Man Creator's Forgotten Game - Libble Rabble (spectra.video)
 

With Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac around the corner, I thought it was time to look at a forgotten game created by Pac-Man creator Tōru Iwatani - Libble Rabble. This bizarre arcade game has you drawing ropes around enemies, and fighting eclectic monsters like scissors, fireballs, and demons.

Watch Dogs Legion’s Recruitment System is Fantastic (spectra.video)
 

Watch Dogs Legion is a great game thanks in large part to its incredible recruitment mechanic. It's got its flaws and limitations, but Legion laid the groundwork for what could have been a great feature going forward. Too bad Ubisoft killed Watch Dogs.

What a Typical YouTuber Deal Looks Like, and Scam Emails (spectra.video)
 

On my YouTube channel, Triple Iris, I get sponsorship deals from AAA game companies somewhat frequently. I also get a lot of outright scam emails.

I thought it would be fun to share some of these brand deal offers and scams with you, and tell you about a Peertube channel I caught stealing my videos.

Astro Bot is The Greatest Game I've Ever Played (spectra.video)
 

Astro Bot is one of my favorite games of all time. As someone who grew up with PlayStation and 3D Platformers, it does everything so perfectly, and is such a love letter to the genre, that you can't help but love it. But its mechanics are also rock solid. This is as close to a perfect game as we're ever going to see.

Luigi's Mansion 3 - An (Almost) All-Time Nintendo Great (spectra.video)
 

Luigi's Mansion 3 is an almost perfect game. The first half is an incredible experience, and the most charm I've ever seen in an Nintendo game. But the second half has some major flaws that holds it back.

My sister and I recently went to three separate Asian grocery stores in my area, and I picked up a bounty. In this video I show you these stores and explore some of my favorite foods from them and try new ones.
