Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Fairphone 6 Teardown: Proof Phones Don’t Have to Be Disposable2·5 days agoBasically I would prefer not to buy a pixel, but if graphene is that much better than the other OS’s I would consider it
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Fairphone 6 Teardown: Proof Phones Don’t Have to Be Disposable19·6 days agoApproaching the point where I need a new phone. Curious what would be better. A fairphone 6 with calyx or /e/ os. Or a new pixel with graphene. I’ve heard graphene is the best but the fairphone is very tempting
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgMto Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft to lay off about 9,000 employees in latest round [Seattle Times]6·8 days agoYeah I think that is likely a necessary next step
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgMto Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft to lay off about 9,000 employees in latest round [Seattle Times]32·8 days agoJust absolutely disgusting. Stock reaches an all time high on Tuesday ofc. Jeez it sure is great we started consolidating the industry under one umbrella! But it was worth it for ThE bEsT dEaL iN gAmInG. Got muh cod on game pass so yayyyyyy.
Capitalism needs to end yesterday. We’re so cooked
I’m enjoying it! Long puppy is def my favorite so far. I was really excited for Shadow gate and while it is a very cool project idk if the game is really for me

Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgMto Gaming@beehaw.org•Do I purchase RDR2 ultimate edition which is on sale or hope for a proper Xbox series x version?1·22 days agoRumors say there is a proper “next gen” version coming so probably wouldn’t hurt to wait a bit. Games not going anywhere :)
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgMto Gaming@beehaw.org•What are your favorite metroidvanias?1·22 days agohollow knight silksong- Hollow Knight
- Islets
- Ender lilies
- Ori and the will of the wisps (don’t love blind forest personally)
- Blasphemous 1 and 2
- Pretty much all the 2d metroids, especially Dread
- Guacamelee 1 and 2
- The messenger kinda
- Steamworld dig 2
- Animal Well
Oh and what I like about them. Exploration is 90% of a good metroidvania for me. Unlocking abilities and finding secrets in old locations is just my favorite gameplay loop. I don’t tend to love super linear metroidvanias a-la Metroid fusion, though it’s still a good game. But exploration usually can’t be all of it. Combat if it’s there should be decent at best, puzzles are always good. But really if exploration isn’t there just right I probably won’t love it. Also most of these I play on steam deck / PC. Except metroid
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•US supreme court upholds Tennessee ban on youth gender-affirming care91·23 days agoJust so devastated. Just ranted at my parents for still supporting the nyt after all this shit. Like it’s these media groups that are responsible for this. They platform the arguments directly used in the supreme Court case. Im just so sick of mainstream legacy media both sidesing every fucking issue. They are going to lead us to our downfall. They move the Overton window. Like yeah I know the supreme Court is conservative whatever what I said isn’t wrong. The NYT are partially culpable here. Fuck me there goes my week / month / year whatever. Can’t take this news rn

Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPto Politics@beehaw.org•Op-Ed: ICE Tactical Units Are Preparing to Deploy in Seattle — We Must Fight Back - The Urbanist2·25 days agoWasn’t old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who’s been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPto Politics@beehaw.org•Op-Ed: ICE Tactical Units Are Preparing to Deploy in Seattle — We Must Fight Back - The Urbanist4·26 days agoElections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.
The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPto Politics@beehaw.org•Op-Ed: ICE Tactical Units Are Preparing to Deploy in Seattle — We Must Fight Back - The Urbanist101·26 days agoI mean if you really think the right wing accurately portrayed a nuanced issue that’s certainly a take
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPto Politics@beehaw.org•Op-Ed: ICE Tactical Units Are Preparing to Deploy in Seattle — We Must Fight Back - The Urbanist121·26 days agoExcept that’s not really true. She didn’t run on that at all. It was a tweet from long before the election that the right wing used to tarnish her
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPto Politics@beehaw.org•Op-Ed: ICE Tactical Units Are Preparing to Deploy in Seattle — We Must Fight Back - The Urbanist33·26 days agoFriendly reminder that Seattle’s current city attorney is a trump backing Republican who was elected all because Seattle at the time was too scared of a candidate who once talked about abolishing the police.
The author here is running for the position and if you’re in Seattle I highly encourage supporting him. We have a chance to drastically shift the center right city government that has plagued our city these last few years
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPMto Gaming@beehaw.org•The Inescapable Intersection of SGF and ICE Protests3·28 days agoI need to. Loved her on Kinda Funny. Big loss for them when she left. Sorely lacking women voices on there
Chloyster [she/her]@beehaw.orgOPMto Gaming@beehaw.org•The Inescapable Intersection of SGF and ICE Protests3·28 days agoJanet really is the best. And yeah she did such a good job here

They fail to see that adding more housing in Seattle will prevent hundreds of trees not being cut down in the new suburbs being built in our forested areas

Reaaaaally stoked for this one 🔥
