- Comment on Scalpers have hit the limited edition Ocarina of Time Switch Presale 1 day ago:
They have a job, being scalpers.
Literally all you have to do to be a scalper is have some capital to start with and to be a completely unscrupulous bastard.
- Comment on Thank you to cm0002 for reposting my meme from lemmy to lemmy. 2 days ago:
I’m from the era of the internet where caring about crediting people for fucking memes of all things was treated as unserious as it is.
Man, copyright has broken people’s brains.

Everything encrypted except pirated media on external drives. All personal data encrypted so if i die people are locked out of personal files and will have to wipe the drives to make them usable. Finally if they don’t use linux they might be out of luck with those external drives with media, too.

*laughs in AMD
(I know they’re not that much better but they’re so much more well supported in Linux it’s absurd. NVIDIA only started getting more support that was focused on AI, which is cool and all, local AI is all right, but no very useful in everyday context.)
- Comment on Dwarf Fortress' creator says the industry's in shambles over AI and layoff-happy CEOs: 'Everyone I know, their bosses are slowly getting psychosis' 1 week ago:
It’s near the bottom but Tarn Adams notes the same thing, that it has been happening far longer than just starting when LLMs became popular.
“It’s been going on forever. That was before AI—or this form of AI,” Adams says, before lamenting: “They took the letters from me! I have to talk about dwarf behavior now. I can’t even talk about dwarf AI. It doesn’t exist. It’s dwarf behavior, and they misbehave sometimes.”

Worse, they’re also quite prominent in Valve game communities (TF2/DOTA2) as well, so they’re poisoning in-game interactions, too.

Tuning out Monica
Lyrics turned out to be a problem in choosing the convention theme song. Convention producers had selected Lou Bega’s “Mambo No. 5” because it was up-tempo and popular, like “The Macarena,” the Democrats’ convention theme in 1996.
But the chorus of “Mambo No. 5” refers to a girl named Monica.
Convention planners initially thought they could just rewrite the lyric, but late on the eve of the convention, they re-thought the whole idea.
“That’s out now,” said Wheeler, whose orchestra rehearsed the song. “That will not be played at all.”
Convention producers are now looking for another song - one just as catchy, but without a catch - that will rally the party faithful, inspire the crowd and get the campaign off on the right note.

Damn and I thought this was gonna be about people realizing French Onion Soup is bomb as fuck and onion soup soaked bread is way better than garlic bread alone. The enlightened love the onion.
- Comment on Capcom isn't worried about PlayStation and Nintendo shrinking the physical games market: "90% of our unit sales are digital" 5 weeks ago:
I mean, I’d daresay the gaming community has a large community dedicated to both accessibility and preservation, they’re just generally frowned upon because it’s, you know, piracy. However, only through piracy can I get an original release copy of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for PlayStation, Dreamcast and Windows. You can only get re-releases, remakes, and the like, often which do not hold up to the original in terms of style and control.
