After passing my certification with ease, my instructor pointed out that women generally make better forklift drivers ... so, this would make sense in an animé about the cut-and-thrust world of competitive forklift driving ... which is also a thing BTW.

My first salaried job was also my first proper IT job and I was a "junior technician" ... the only other member of IT staff was my supervisor who had been a secretary that got a 1 week sysadmin course and knew very little.

The server room was a complete rat's nest and I resolved to sort it out. It was all going very well until I tripped over the loose SCSI 3 cable between the AIX server and it's raid array. While it was in use.

It took me 2 days to restore everything from tape. My supervisor was completely useless.

A few months later I was "made redundant", leaving behind me everything working perfectly and a super tidy server room. I got calls from the company asking for help for the following 6 months, which I politely declined.

Too busy doing important stuff, like taking children away from their parents

Can't speak for other games, but there's a LOT of former truck drivers who play Snow Runner.

Back when I was working as a forklift driver, when I broke my leg and was stuck at home on the sofa I really enjoyed driving the forklift around in GTA5 and just moving palettes​ around.

Suddenly the Broccoloid episode of The Powerpuff Girls reads as anti-LGBT propaganda

If you want to check out something related, wierd, and interesting check out German radio controlled truck conventions ... lots of people go together and drive their RC stuff in a sensible realistic manner. I find it adorable.

I have to admit, that is easily the cutest tank I've ever seen!

(I've seen Girls Und Panzer, and read everything Tank Girl, so I'm an expert!)

Yeah, I got laid off twice more before switching careers. Both times they wanted me to come back and fix stuff after letting me go.

It goes hand in hand with the "if someone works hard, they should be given more work as a reward" line of thinking.

I love radio control trucks, but not for competition or to go fast. I like taking them for a walk like one might walk a dog ... it's just fun and a bit silly.

They do, probably more than is healthy.

The US was never tolerant, the EU is still comparatively tolerant.

It's worth noting that Madrid, having been the center of the Franco regime, has a right-leaning populace and the Vox party has pushed things further in a similar fashion to the Trumpistas in the US.

I believe this is lashing out because the central government is socialist and has made recent decisions which the fascists don't like.

Anyone not wearing two million sunblock is going to have a real bad day

Yep, I remember in one job I was at for 8 years a manager 2 levels up complemented me for sorting out the networking for a re-arrange of our own office ... I was gobsmacked because I'd been managing a whole network and server upgrade for a client that involved well over 1000 users at the time yet an hour of fiddling with wires under desks was the only thing that got his attention.

So that's what it stands for, Love Gay Bacon, Thanks!

That is not true.

They did do a beginner's guide to Mastodon after Musk infested Twitter, but it does seem like they don't consider Lemmy or Mastodon to be "serious"

Would you like 1 maglev train for 10km, or 10 extra trains to make better use of existing infrastructure?

I would like something halfway between Snowrunner and European Truck Simulator, with a well written single player RPG story mode where you get to help people by delivering stuff.

Or, something like Breath of the Wild only without fighting.

Or both.

What's it like to play? Interested parties want to know!

If the memes are to be believed, handshake has concluded and data transfer may now commence.

Rules for assault and domestic violence are a bit of a mess in Spain in general, there's some things that just aren't covered.

I was led to believe gay people had better taste than an average HOA committee.

Majestically causing everyone to dry heave during the car ride home, even with all the windows rolled down .

Mash and Allo Allo both have no shortage of jokes about cross-dressing and plenty of casual sexism. Fawlty Towers ... is also a product of it's time, any good parts get outweighed by the bad parts.

I put food can into my cooking.

Hair is a very important part of self-identity, therefore forcing vulnerable people to change the appearance of their hair is a form of punishment which may appear harmless to onlookers, yet is deeply psychologically harmful.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

I'm not even mad, that's impressive!

It's worth checking out Metropolis Street Racer and F355 Challenge if you're into driving games. Also Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX was really nicely done.

I loved my Dreamcast, such a pity it couldn't be developed further

Human being can be oddly obsessive. In other news, I wish American Truck Simulator was available for PS4 :-/

I use a basic analog watch because I want to be able to tell the time with something that is always on my person.

If I understand correctly, smart watches require charging, data connection to a phone, are physically large, and they use displays which are sensitive to impacts.

Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?

I didn't have them over a barrel, they were just being lazy and trying to exploit me further for free.

That sort of thing, but with little trucks, diggers, forklifts, and tractors all by radio control ... I guess I never understood the appeal of train sets whereas driving a little truck around looks like fun

Which then becomes Buy and Large, for branding purposes.

Hum ... an android play-by-post version is just begging to be made!

When I was at school I used to enjoy playing oversize 3D tic-tac-toe, I imagine this could be similarly anarchic

I went and did a search, looking for cute tanks and I have to say there's a lot of good choices which come down to personal preference, the Luchs included.

Of course, this isn't including Tankettes, which are almost all incredibly cute.

I loved the original, when I had only seen the TV cut which doesn't include the protagonist committing rape. I've seen the full version all of once and that just broke it for me.

I have the sequel on my to-watch list, but will be starting it off in a guarded manner.

There's also an episode where Quark undergoes gender reassignment in order to close a deal, which is played for laughs and includes lines about women being sensitive because of their hormones. It sticks out because it's just horrible, while she show is generally good.
