Looks like a great remake of the old Rampage arcade game.

Oh, cool! I miss having grandfatherly types playing The Doctor.
(That’s a Doctor Who reference, for those not in the know.)

I thought you were dead, Mr Dangerfield…?
- Comment on Working Overtime at the Disease Factory 1 week ago:
Seriously? With the amount of stupidity dominating our lives from so many directions, you’re gonna date one of them to get even closer to it all? You must be a masochist.
- Comment on AOL is finally shutting down its dial-up internet service 1 week ago:
I don’t know, but if I had to guess: email, bank, & government sites are probably the bulk of their use. Those pages don’t change all that often, so once they’re in the browser cache they’ll probably still load at reasonable enough speeds for their use I’d imagine. Those people probably see it as a tool to get certain things done, and that’s about it. They’re likely much older, and so never had much interest in being terminally online.

Great, so those living in ultra-rural areas because they can’t afford anything better will now have to pony up 10x the cost for satellite Internet, or become even more disconnected from the rest of the world than they already are.

Oh, I got one, too?!? Yep, that’s definitely Mom!

A downvote? Hi, Mom - I didn’t know you were on Lemmy!

Then you never thought about it - at least not in relation to who was responsible for it. I mean… because who would think that but Microsoft?

Sounds like the kind of study a grifter like Trump would approve of.

- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 2 weeks ago:
I just meant the reversal of orientation. Since I obviously recognized what the color scheme represents, I didn’t think I’d have to go into detail on the basics.
- Comment on The way two of the usb's are one way while the other is another way 2 weeks ago:
Looks to me like they wanted to differentiate the USB 3 port (blue) from the USB 2 ports (black). What that accomplishes, who TF knows…
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 3 weeks ago:
I’m aware, and that fact only lends credence to what I said to another responder in that humans are the same everywhere you go - it’s only the specific variances that are mostly due to culture that differ. Also keep in mind that in America the Republicans have been working to take over the country since the 1970s - more recent events are just the inevitable result of the dam finally bursting. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there were similar forces at work in India.
- Comment on GPD’s monster Strix Halo handheld requires a battery ‘backpack’ or a 180W charger 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That’s why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 3 weeks ago:
Meh. I’d say it’s more variance in method than an actual disparity in quality. Humans are basically the same everywhere you go: some small percentage are truly great, a similar (but seemingly larger) percentage are the truly evil, and the rest are varying degrees in between. The differences are mostly cultural in nature.
- Comment on India bans streaming apps you’ve never heard of — but millions watch 3 weeks ago:
America showed them how.
- Comment on GPD’s monster Strix Halo handheld requires a battery ‘backpack’ or a 180W charger 3 weeks ago:
Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.

Fair enough.

- Comment on Choose Wisely 4 weeks ago:
Choosing wisely requires a modicum of rationality - a fact that doesn’t jibe very well with intentionally jumping off a perfectly functional airplane that’s miles up in the air.
- Comment on Get in the pod, inhale the fumes. 4 weeks ago:
Until Trump decides to enforce a universal RTO edict - including removing all financial “home office” breaks from the tax code.
- Comment on Get in the pod, inhale the fumes. 4 weeks ago:
That you get your brainwashing from an alternate source doesn’t change the fact, and your still paying a fuel tax even if it’s of a different variety.
- Comment on Get in the pod, inhale the fumes. 4 weeks ago:
Not entirely - assuming you work in a building, aren’t the “return to office” mandates the same? The cubicle is just your particular pod out of a massive collection of them inside a larger metal shell.

Shitposting? Nah. A really good shit can get you your very own Mr. Hankey for real friendship, tho!

Now that’s a great idea! Using Statler & Waldorf (the old hecklers from the balcony) for Peter Falk’s Grandpa role ought to be hilarious!
I’m gonna be spending hours now trying to figure out which Muppet to assign as each character from TPB - like who gets stuck as Prince Humperdinck (the six-fingered man)? Thanks… 🙄

I’d rather my friends than ones with the annoyingly odd behaviors you seen to have. 🤨
