Oh this is great. Thanks.

Monument Valley and Gorogoa are both excellent and free of nonsense.
Both are available on mobile and Steam. Gorogoa also on GOG currently 70% off.

So does every cut on any other body part.
Weirdly enough other people’s blood tastes slightly different than my own. - Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
It’s from 2021. Link to the website: interaktiv.br.de/ki-bewerbung/en/
Still pretty interesting though.
- Comment on A future sci-fi writers never could've imagined 5 months ago:
Exactly. That’s what I meant.

Not true. Here is the regex doing the blocking:
slur_filter_regex: lemmy.ml/api/v3/siteIt’s not exactly secret.

Those would be valid HTML Custom Elements if they contained a hyphen like <tone-nerdy> the best practices defines: html.spec.whatwg.org/…/custom-elements.html </tone-nerdy> Brand new specs too.

So do pupils. Wear glasses or don’t have the dumb ones at eye level.

Be creative. Maybe something with coconuts?
Johnson windmill
I think it’s also known as helicopter dick. But you’d have to get it going a bit before it gets some traction.
- Comment on Anon interviews for a job 6 months ago:
I’m actually OK with it.
It’s their instance, you can check the wordlist in the config. It’s the
slur_filter_regex. If it would bother me too much I’d change instance or spin up my own.
I’m more enraged by shadow banning like on “other platforms”. - Comment on Anon interviews for a job 6 months ago:
The comments are pretty interesting when you read them on lemmy.ml
That instance has server wide word filtering enabled that can’t be removed.
- Comment on Mushroom ID 6 months ago:
It’s mostly true. Most of the poisonous mushrooms of central Europe are not “sponges”.
The worst one I have found once is seldom lethal: Rubroboletus satanas en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubroboletus_satanas
I guess people don’t usually pick stuff that looks like that. Though there are similar ones that taste pretty good.
Toxic boletus usually taste really bad. - Comment on Oh god, kill it! 6 months ago:
They had real guns back then.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 7 months ago:
Yeah usually the ones being unfaithful themselves are the most controlling and paranoid.

That’s sad. At our LAN there were two women regularly. One lost interest in PC games and the other now comes with her friend. She’s pretty good at Chivalry. What a bloodthirsty girl…

Don’t be a dickhead.

Yeah now the handles point in different directions.
- Comment on A bad influence 8 months ago:
I got called to a 12 year old server with a failed HDD once. They said no problem we have a daily backup. Just put in a new drive and restore from tape.
The tape wouldn’t read. I took it out of the drive and noticed some brown specs and dust falling out. The tape was clear, like scotch tape. They backed up daily to the same tape for over 10 years without verification. The remnants of the magnetic layer was scattered inside the drive. That client became pretty sad pretty fast. - Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 8 months ago:
I hated them since Windows 8. Ughh. Was the year of my Linux desktop. I still keep a Win7, WinXP and DOS/Win98 machine around but that’s it for me.
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 8 months ago:
They bought it and fed it into copilot. My guess what they mean.
- Comment on Windows users don't want copilot on their taskbar 8 months ago:
The real journalism is always in the comments. Or how did that go?
- Comment on The longer I look, the more confused I get. What is this marketing? 8 months ago:
Ah, the HP Omen that uses mostly standard components and might be decent but has a coked up marketing team that makes me trust the brand by driving me insane.
Gotcha.
- Comment on EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea" 10 months ago:
It has Denuvo, and runs like crap even on $1500 hardware.
I don’t know what kind of sales they expected when they don’t test it on lower spec PCs.
