I’ve also noticed the opposite effect. Where if a movie is leaning into being plain and easy to watch you’ll have critics rating it down cause they wanted it to do some artsy stuff. Definitely feels like critics are more on the artsy side of the scale, which is fine but doesn’t always align with what I’m looking for.
Yeah I definitely assign more value to the audience reviews. Critics are mostly useless, unless you identify ones that align with your personal taste.
Movie / TV reviews are such a shit show. I rarely find myself agreeing with the averaged out rating.
These days I’ll just make sure the rating is above say 30 and beyond that I’ll rely on trailers and reading actual reviews. But finding new movies and tv shows to watch is quite a chore as a result.
I hope someday soon AI can be employed to give you real personalized recommendations that don’t suck. But realistically it’ll just be more shitty algorithms meant to serve the interests of the highest bidder.
Interesting. I searched for YouTube tv on my android tv but can only find the base YouTube app. Sounds like you’re saying this is some separate sort of app? How do you obtain it?
Edit: not available in Canada. Well that explains our very different experiences.
Gotcha, lucky you that the algorithm seems to align with your viewing habits. For me I’d say I easily waste the quoted 10 minutes to find something to watch on YouTube.
What’s your secret? Youtube just keeps recommending me the same shit. Their algorithm just makes it so that you’re rarely seeing new stuff.
If I were a mod that hadn’t left yet: this would definitely put me over the edge.
How insanely tone-deaf.
I think your original question stands. Self-hosting != federation.
Translation: Zuckerbot wants to generate some noise and there’s nothing better to do that than AI doom and gloom.
Interesting, I’ll give the demo a try. Thank you!
So it’s basically just the climbing part of Tomb Raider games plus some exploration and narrative? To each their own but the climbing parts were always my least favourite. It’s also why I couldn’t get into the Jedi games. It just feels unrewarding cause of how on rails the experience feels.
Curious if this sets itself apart somehow or if that’s really all it is and it’s just not for me.
Only if your app loads in remote JavaScript it would seem. Which I imagine isn’t the case for most of them.
Aw damn… I really like how bare basic their interface is and how they’re not constantly trying to upsell me shit I don’t need. Anyone have any good recommendations for alternatives that fit this bill? Google is just giving me the worst possible options.
Great! Thanks for clarifying. Definitely; more is better. Just based on the limited information available it wasn’t clear to me how this one was different.
Always great to have more options! But this seems very similar to Mlem in terms of goals (Apollo like). Why not combine efforts?
No new map, no new hero, no real meaningful change. Just skins and questwatch, which is literally just you unlocking audio clips and… not much else.
Oh and the three new “gamemodes” is just an arcade mode with 3 ways to queue up.
What a joke.
This is what I’ve been thinking too cause why else would be think this ama is a good idea? He’s living in a fantasy.
How is hearing the same thing from the most gated person on Reddit meant to do anything but further aggregate users?
Free lemmy marketing I guess.
I chose not to sign up on lemmy.ml as it didn’t seem that they were looking to become “big”, and seems more focused on a specific niche. How come they are so popular despite those points?
Nowadays, when I see news about some new law that’s gonna ruin the web I just have a sad chuckle. That ship has sailed. And they didn’t even need shitty laws to do it.
