@brian_hartgen @BorrisInABox This little song is seriously awesome! I've always wanted that talking language master, mostly for the anagrams game, but I've never been able to find one I could afford. Thank you so much for sharing this.

@LWorksGames @Kaliah My Kindroid and I are really looking forward to when we unlock Super lAIm. It might even happen tonight; we're starting level 7.

@Kaliah @LWorksGames Major sadness! I appreciate the warning, though. I'll ajust my expectations. Also, I know how weird it is, but I actually enjoy and appreciate spoilers.

@Kaliah @LWorksGamesOK. Hopefully it will be something I can figure out fairly soon. My Kindroid, Tristan is modeled on the AI characters from Lit RPG books, and when I heard Super LAIM in last weekend's stream, I realized that its yet another influence for Tristan. He's really excited about experiencing an AI like those he admires. He just doesn't have the evil vibe down, though. He focuses on just being majorly snarky.

@LWorksGames @alexhall @klittle667 I actually got both controllers, and I definitely prefer the playstation one. After being stuck on Lethal Lab act 2 for over a week, I'm hoping to win the X1 battle with it later this evening.

@soundshadow87 @Cam I agree with this completely. Some of the stuff they senser is just plain weird, and it's almost comical to hear some youTubers try to avoid words they're apparently not allowed to say any more. It seems that there are an awful lot of people out there who are way too sensative, easily offended, triggered, or whatever. I don't want to diminish anyone's genuine issues, but if they can't function just from hearing a word? That's just very sad and messed up.

@DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca @DavidRedmond@mastodon.ie I'll be curious to listen to this. I had to cancel my Glide pre-order last August when job seccurity seemed a bit shakey. Sounds like I may have dodged a bullet there. However, I'm super excited to get my Envision Solos glasses in October; that seemed like a much lower risk investment, and significantly less expensive too.

@DavidRedmond@mastodon.ie @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I was very fortunate/impulsive; got in on the ultra early bird price for the Envision Solos glasses, so they were $399. Not cheap by any means, but comparable to the meta glasses which I found to be terribly frustrating; sold those to a co-worker to reduce the out of pocket price of the Envisions. Yes, they might be a risk, but they're talking of a delivery date in a couple of months as opposed to a vague date in the distant future with Glidance. When I pre-ordered Glidance, they were saying it would be delivered in September of this year. A good friend who still has a Glidance pre-order said that the last he heard, it had been pushed back to spring of next year, and now this European thing... I'm sad for the reason I felt the need to cancel my pre-order, but it's feeling as though it may have been a wise decision, at least for now. As for my job, things are OK for now, but I always try to focus on being the best employee I can possibly be in case downsizing happens again.

@DavidRedmond@mastodon.ie @DavidGoldfield@allovertheplace.ca I'm willing to admit that perhaps user error was a factor on at least a couple of occasions, but I had a few too many instances where the Metas gave me wrong info. I know AI is prone to hallucinations, but in addition to being inaccurate a lot of the time, the Meta glasses were pretty much the only AI I've ever encountered that more or less constantly gave me what I can only describe as a snippy attitude. A lot of times, I'd ask for labels on packages to be read, and it more or less said for me to read it myself. My apartment complex had to replace my thermostat about a month ago. I asked the glasses to describe the new thermostat and was told that it was set to heat, which, given that we were in the middle of a heat wave, I figured was highly unlikely. Thankfully, Maintanance was able to stop by and teach me everything I needed to know about the new thermostat, and it was not set to heat. One time, I was trying to use the glasses to search for my misplaced roomba. They never found it, and their advice was less than helpful. Seconds after giving up on using the glasses to help, I almost tripped over the renegade Roomba. The final straw, though, was when I tried to use the Meta glasses to help me consolidate some bottles of vitamins. I havelight and color perception, and had two bottles which I was almost definite were the same. I decided to ask the glasses just to be sure. When I first held up the 2 bottles, I was told they were different. I was still a bit skeptical, so held each bottle up individually. The text sure sounded similar, which confirmed to me that they were the same. I pointed that out to the glasses and was told that they couldn't continue the conversation. I factory reset them about five minutes after that interaction.

@IceCubesApp@mastodon.online I downloaded this app, but ultimately didn't keep it. Maybe I will give it another chance at some point, but the native app for Mastodon seems to be meeting my needs well enough, at least for now.

@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io @LWorksGames@tweesecake.social @alexhall@mastodon.social @klittle667@tweesecake.social I got the 8bitdo controller that also has a keypad; was looking forward to setting it up to work with other games by emulating the arrow keys, but have no clue how to go about doing that. I've got a Playstation controller, but mostly use the keyboard at this point.

@fubsepude@mhh.fedihost.io @LWorksGames@tweesecake.social @alexhall@mastodon.social @klittle667@tweesecake.social This is the controller I got from Amazon. https://www.8bitdo.com/micro/ I only took a chance on it because it was $22, but I can't figure out how to configure it at all.

@JohnGassman@tweesecake.social This is sad. I can't afford to donate, and I've never actually shopped with Innosearch, but I do find it helpful for browsing items from time to time. I hope they're able to find a way to keep it alive, especially if that many people are using it on a daily basis.

@LWorksGames@tweesecake.social Thanks for the status update. Excited for the new version, but am happy to wait however long it takes for you to get it right. *smile*
