The 4.99 at the supermarket because it’s not worth the extra time to swing by the farmers?

Not a big surprise, they did the same with Windows 98. Everything after the first 14 was silently dropped.
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 week ago:
Yes I got that, wasn’t trying to poke fun at you. It was just a funny mental image to me that I wanted to share.
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 1 week ago:
The unit is Tesla. For reference, the earths magnetic field is around 50 nT on the surface (depending on latitude), and MRI machines have 1.5 T or 3 T. So your 10¹⁰ T might just nail you to the earths Iron core 😂

The last two guys in my team that got retired were 65, but excellent people, and taught me lots, so my first instinct was Wallace. But reading your report, it occurs to me that maybe the description “Is like 100” actually implies a certain oldness of mind that I didn’t consider.
- Comment on Anon doesn't wash 2 weeks ago:
It’s recommended you DON’T wash your chicken because that just throws bacteria around your kitchen.
I believe that’s a myth. If you cook thoroughly, you don’t need to worry about bacteria. Why would it matter if its being moved around then?
I think they mean that if you wash the chicken before cooking you might propel the not-yet-dead bacteria around your kitchen, which is worse than putting it all in the oven together.
- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
Laws don’t magically stop working just because you’re out of jurisdiction.
Actually I would say that most do. Extraterritorial jurisdiction is the exception, not the rule. Many countries apply it for cases of Genocide and War Crimes for example. You are right though that the US does apply a lot of its laws on US persons or vessels in international waters.

First of all thanks for the picture, it looks so good! Much better!
Secondly, aren’t the flames and smoke in slightly different positions? Perhaps there exist multiple pictures, or a video, from this angle?
- Comment on Did Apple kill iTunes for windows? 3 weeks ago:
When I still had an iPod Touch, that only worked after Jailbreaking. The way they lock down the file system on iOS has been one of the worst parts of the Apple Walled Garden in my opinion.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 4 weeks ago:
It had a bit of narrative (killing the corrupted son of the traitor out of mercy and to save the world, killing the corrupted angel like beings because they are a threat to humanity), but you’re right, what really drives you is the fun gameplay loop and the challenge of escalating difficulty.
- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 4 weeks ago:
The Journalist writes “I’m predictably both intrigued and worried that 11 bit think there’s less interest now in games with a pronounced narrative component.” But then does not detail any attempt at getting a comment from the studio… What gives?

Thanks for your perspective.
For a moment I was wondering if it’s the similarity to the Israeli currency Shekel, but that doesn’t make sense to me either.

“Thigh”, actually :-)

Rudolf Schenkel (yes really)
What? What is weird about that name? Maybe I’m too German native speaker to get this.

- Comment on Percentages 1 month ago:
Exactly. Unfortunately, they aren’t used widely and consistently enough. Even in the press. So you frequently have to second guess what you’re reading.

Counterstrike Source was later and still had these tight knit communities on the gun game and surf community servers. There wasn’t any matchmaking in the client either.

- Comment on That's... normal 2 months ago:
Depends on who’s writing the laws. Sometimes crime is moral.
With the resurgence of chauvinist parties who ignore human rights this is important to keep in mind at the moment.
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 2 months ago:
I’ve tinkered plenty even when using Windows haha. I even have a Windows 98 and Windows XP virtual machine for some old things, but everything I care about seems to have a modern HD release, a userpatch or can be hooked with dxwnd, so I don’t use them anymore at the moment.
But yeah probably the long term solution is Linux. Personally I wouldn’t run Windows 7 anymore. The unfixed CVE list has become quite long. I just went checking out of principle, because I don’t like this conflation of PC gaming with only Steam.
I still haven’t made the jump to gaming on Linux, unfortunately. Although I’ve been running a dual boot for the last 8 years or so, because I used Linux for my studies, use it for my work, and for hosting my game servers on a second computer, so I would be in a prime position… but so far I have just gone the way of least resistance, which is Windows 10 at the moment.
But I have a deadline now: October 2025. Just need to figure out the best distro, I don’t think I’ll use my existing Fedora KDE install for this. Maybe Arch, or one of these new immutable distros, that might be neat for when different games require different versions of libraries.

Ah sorry I hadn’t heard that they switched to Java 21 with 1.20.5
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 2 months ago:
The title of that article is kind of weird. It’s just wrong to claim they are dead for gaming because of a lack of steam.
Anyone can just get Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Stardew Valley, or Anno 2070 from GoG and for each of them you can game for another 50 hours without needing steam. Or get Minecraft from their page directly and play for 100 hours. This is all without going to any retro titles.

Besides “AI and facetuned images” from OP, another supernormal stimulus that comes to mind is fat anime tiddies.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 2 months ago:
For my part I didn’t mind that so much in Cyberpunk 2077, I just played it multiple times with different V characters.
But then I can see that it’s a big time investment and not good for everyone.
