- Comment on GeoGuessr Pulls Out of Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia After Fan and Creator Backlash: 'When You Tell Us We’ve Got It Wrong, We Take It Seriously' - IGN 1 week ago:
It has an outsized impact by bringing awareness to this issue. It also could embolden other communities to take a stand against Saudi sportswashing.
- Comment on The Most Popular Window Air Conditioner Has Disappeared from Store Shelves [Aftermath] 1 week ago:
I have 3 of these units since last summer. Should I be cleaning them out? Pardon the ignorance. I’ve never owned a window unit before and I won’t have one after this summer.
- Comment on China begins assembling its supercomputer in space 1 week ago:
I would imagine some sort of heat pump is being used to transfer the heat from the electronics to the radiators.
- Comment on 10 Years Ago, A Legendary Sci-Fi Director Showed Hollywood The Secret To Reviving A Franchise 2 weeks ago:
I think Jared Leto is a pretty good casting choice. He’s a self absorbed douche so he barely had to act.
- Comment on What are some examples of series that only have a good first season, and should be dropped after that? 2 weeks ago:
I only watched a bit of True Detective season 2 but I could tell it was not going to be nearly as good as the phenomenal first season
- Comment on Megalopolis | Francis Ford Coppola said to be against a streaming or disc release 3 weeks ago:
I loved it and am very bummed it’s going to be harder to watch now.
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2024 4 weeks ago:
I know a lot of people didn’t like it, but I loved Megalopolis. It’s so ambitious, has great cinematography, and it’s weird. I thought it was well acted and will be a cult classic in a decade. It is a little weird that the main character is the only person with a superpower (stopping time) and it has almost no impact on the story, but that just adds to the weird appeal for me.

You do not understand it correctly.
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 4 weeks ago:
Kei trucks are extremely useful if you’re only ever going to move it around in a city. I wouldn’t want to get on a highway in one of those. To me, this looks like the closest analog to a kei trucks that would still work in the US.
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 5 weeks ago:
They make it sound like not having stamping is helping them by not requiring expensive machines and a factory with a high ceiling. I’m betting they’re outsourcing the stamping. I’m also betting that they won’t ever deliver a truck.
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 5 weeks ago:
Definitely not cast. Some suspension parts are cast but most car frames are made from stamped sheet metal welded/bonded together.
- Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen 5 weeks ago:
No paint because you’re injection molding body panels? Sounds good.
No stamping? How are you getting away with that? Are they just outsourcing the stamping for frame parts? There’s no way this thing doesn’t require stamped frame components.
Tbh, this feels like vaporware. I’ll believe it when I see them actually being delivered.

I’m colorblind and the images are nearly identical. Good thing I’m not in tiger habitats very often.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 1 month ago:
Well whatever was the most important part was also bad. He didn’t need to look just like OJ. But part of OJ is this enormous cocky presence that CGJr just can’t have.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 1 month ago:
There was a miniseries about OJ Simpson and the trial and everything. They cast Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson. OJ Simpson has a square jaw, broad shoulders, tall athletic. CGJr is small, round, narrow, high pitched, etc. CGJr doesn’t even look like he could be OJ’s little brother. No idea how he got that part.
- Comment on 11 Best Indie Games of All Time 2 months ago:
You weren’t lying. I was looking for “knowledge” games similar to Animal Well and Outer Wilds and I saw some reviews making the comparison. Tbh, I was a little underwhelmed at first. I thought it was a good game but it didn’t feel like what I was looking for. But the back half really opened it up. Figuring out the mountain door puzzle was like a jaw on the floor moment. By the end I had several pages of graph paper with notes and sketches.

Just started tunic tonight. Good timing
- Comment on How OnlyFans modeling led to this high-tech set of handlebars 3 months ago:
We asked ourselves, why couldn’t handlebars function like a car’s cockpit?
Isn’t this just a cycle computer? I have a cycle computer that clicks into place on my bars. It navigates and connects to sensors like pedal cadence sensors, power meters, heart rate monitors, it displays speed. All while being removable so I can easily charge it or just not bring it when I don’t need those functions.
- Comment on After almost a decade, cult classic car building sim hits 1.0, and it's soaring on Steam 4 months ago:
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that some gamers absolutely love arcane bullshit. I think I’m going to give the game a whirl
- Comment on Alec Baldwin's Rust Case Is Over, Prosecutor Drops Manslaughter Appeal 5 months ago:
Baldwin is guilty of putting trust in the people around him doing their jobs correctly.
Wasn’t he a producer for this movie? I think one of the arguments against him was that he had some responsibility over the filming including safety. If there is a safety incident, he’s somewhat responsible.
I’m of 2 minds about this. On one hand, I think he’s not at fault, the armorer is. As long as he hired a qualified armorer with a good safety record, what more could he have done? On the other hand, if we hold the higher ups more responsible for safety issues, they will put in place better safety controls to reduce risk.

Yeah I’m not saying it’s legal. But its a long way from “factory”

Also, even if he was making guns, it might have been for a personal hobby.

Wasn’t the manifesto (and the silencer) found after searching his apartment?
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 6 months ago:
I showed my friends Rubber. It’s a movie about a serial killer tire. I think it’s great. Everyone I’ve showed it to thought it was terrible.

“here” is beehaw, which is a bit more sane. You’re probably thinking of lemmy.ml

- Comment on Shooting conspiracies trend on X as Musk endorses Trump 10 months ago:
We’re talking about leftists here. The #staged and #flaseflag ideas are conspiracy theories that the would-be assassin was actually planted by Trump to boost his campaign. These are theorized by people that don’t like Trump.
- Comment on I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used? 10 months ago:
Yeah it’s not the best option. But it did popularize the form factor
- Comment on What are your favourite controllers? 10 months ago:
I think most PowerA controllers don’t have gyro or NFC. PowerA is what you’re most likely to find as a 3rd party controller.

On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.
