  There is a reason why the Italian mountain police uses the Fiat Panda (other than it being an Italian car)

  That fucker will go ANYWHERE

  ”But it’s a dry heat” is a saying for a reason 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who live in hot climates, how do you deal with the heat?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Cold is easy, wear more, burn stuff for heat.

  Hot is hard. When I’m already fully naked and still sweating, what then? Lightly fan myself with something?

  This one: changedetection.io

  I self-host it and it’s been pretty reliable at auto detecting prices on random webshops

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I run a watcher on all the disks I want to buy.

  I get a notification when the price goes down and I nab them for 50% off usually.

  ”just” 😅

  And Xi for good measure

  I’d just tweet “poop” at Muskrat and Donald 24/7

  Just check how much money GTA online has made for Rockstar every year. It’s an 11 year old game that makes half a BILLION dollars yearly.

  No wonder they’re not in a hurry to get GTA 6 out. It MUST be better than GTA online both for gameplay and microtransactions as well as have the tech for live service

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you can just pop that folder on any computer and run it, without installing Steam and without a Steam account?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a piracy history lesson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They cache torrents, magnets and ddl links at an astonishing scale.

  You can put in pretty much any even decently popular magnet or ddl link set and get a direct download link with near infinite bandwidth (my 500Mbit connection is saturated every time)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The B-lister who tried to take down Hollywood’s most powerful stars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine trying to outplay Ryan Reynolds in the PR game

  Dude got a full-ass billion dollar movie franchise going by “accidentally” leaking test footage

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  GoG Vault would disagree with you on that.

  You can download the full installers and keep them, nobody can take them away or disable it remotely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a piracy history lesson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Real-debrid is a weird one, it’s clearly you paying for piracy, but they’ve been around since forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives a piracy history lesson⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Direct download piracy and streaming is surprisingly popular.

  With a bit of effort you can stream any movie directly to your TV for a few moneys a month (or free, but paying for the essential bits removes the jankiness)

  Basically you select the movie, a system finds the torrent or DDL, a service downloads it (or has it cached) and you stream it to your device.

  Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet

  A footlong sub (not a meal) is around 13€ here.

  I can get a full ass restaurant meal for that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The PS4 was underpowered for it and it never should’ve been launched on it. Pro was ok-ish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played through CP2077 at launch and found like two bugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For those unable or unwilling to find employment, there is Basic Assistance, the United Nations’ global welfare program. Over half of the Earth’s populace relies on it for survival. Without jobs, these people have no money, so Basic provides shared accommodations in government housing complexes, meagre food in the form of Gray-tasting textured protein and enriched rice, minimal medical care in government clinics, and even recycled paper clothing, dispensed from automated kiosks with a thumbprint. All of these services are provided free of charge, but those on Basic are subject to mandatory contraception and cannot legally have children, apart from the regular “baby lottery” allowing for a small number of births each year

  From the Expanse wiki.

  Earth has a population of over 30 Billion with a B when the series starts.

  So who is the CEO of Brand Shield? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the backstory is so that there aren’t enough jobs for everyone due to automation, so they offer people who don’t want much the option of Basic (income), with the option to get more if they get a job or start a business.

  So anarchists want Basic from the Expanse pretty much?

  Basic in the world of the Expanse provided people with a very basic apartment with a bed, table and a TV along with three nutritionally complete (not delicious) meals per day for free.

  If you wanted anything more, you had to work or enlist.
