You don't have a poop knife?

Poop dessert fork will have to do, then.

This guy is an absolute lunatic.

"Gimme all of the world's money several times over for this fancy T9 that I'm playing with."

If someone wrote a cartoon villain using his quotes, it would be dismissed as unbelievable and rubbish.

Kansas of all places. Nice.

Damn right. If I transitioned, I wouldn't take a lame name like Mildred. I'd go for something cool like Radicalorange or Forcefulblue.

Uh, soft is the correct consistency of the brain, no...?

Doesn't work. USSR murdered and prisoned both religious people and gay people alike. The answer is not being a fucking cockwomble, which is admittedly more easily done if you're an atheist, but by no means is a guarantee.

This could be any game, and anyway, does this sub get so much traffic it's a problem?

Nomination itself is a kind of a prize. Yes, BG3 will probably win everything, but that's what happens if it's really that good at everything. LotR won 11 Oscars because it was better than all the other contenders that year, but the nominations mean they were recognised as good enough to go against the winner.

WTH do people do with their cables? I haven't had one fray/fail on me... ever, and I pay zero attention to them.

You mean keming?

As a parent, I thought I had an idea. Nope, still surprised. And I wanted the kid and have means to support them.

That's not what the article says. This is basically a save game for every-ish moment in the gameplay + a facility to launch the game at the scene you're watching a video of, which is massive amounts of data + progress sync, so if they figured out how to do that at scale, it's legit innovation.

Christians have a thing about fucking kids, remember?

Who says you can't eat the car? Definitely not this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

Yep. I've been here for one day and I'm already talking in conversations. Took me two weeks to get anywhere on Mastodon. (And exactly the same on Reddit and Twitter before... the incidents.)

Clearly, you don't frequent simracing communities.

What they say, plus I wouldn't recommend Mikrotik HW, which I went with based on Reddit recommendations for much the same use case as yours. Pretty clunky to set up, had to debug some idiosyncracies with the help of the forums, their wireless gear is slow, and it all runs hot AF.

This whole (what's the right word for subreddit on Lemmy?), I feel so seen.

Did they f*cking stutter?

They got my wife's name wrong.

I think it's not even about shadowbanning, I think it's about Twitter not giving you anything to interact with (a discovery mechanism). Reddit/Lemmy has a list of subreddits/communities that have a clear focus, so you can jump right in and engage. Neither Twitter nor Mastodon have that. There, you need to find people who generally post/share things that interest you, but that's a lot more difficult.

If you haven't, give the Talos Principle a try. It scratches the same itch as Portal for me, although the tone is less whimsical, but equally bizarre.

Maybe. Who am I to judge?

INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I've gotta say, it's properly weird and I wonder what's it got in stock for me.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

That nobody mentioned Transport Tycoon Deluxe is criminal. I recommend the live-action version recorded for the mobile release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuJy9oCdUns

Yes, NES games. Now try that with Baldur's Gate.

Huh, never thought of that that way.

Philips used to be a pretty decent brand, it's gone down big time over the last decade. Ask me how I know.

Well, because we're doing modifier + colour here. Mild + red?

Charging my laptop with my powerbank I have for my phone is a moment of glory.

Easily Ubuntu. Despite its general wonkiness and kind of a shit attitude towards upstreams, at least they're not shoving mandatory tracking into all of your orifices, and aren't integrating AI into everything because fuck you, you'll like it.

Thanks.

If you can encode your entire game progress into that level code, then it's just that, yep.

Not enough info in the article to tell the difference, I'd say. Maybe because this should apply to your local games? IDK

That sounds weirdly like Krobus.

It's kind of a big deal if you can't legally do this (and as it happens, you can't where they did it) by implying you can circumvent the law this way.
