  “hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

  “hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

  Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

  Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

  As someone who has moved several free pianos and now tells people I will drive it but loading and unloading is on them…

  They all sound like complete shit.

  The piano is free, making it sound good isn’t.

  But then, most people just have a piano for decoration.

  … Dodging?

  Is that some kind of move weaklings make when they can’t take a hit?

  Part 1 is the first act

  Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by “the act break is super long” and why my mother replied “lol” in the family group chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Wicked: Part Two" gets new title — "Wicked: For Good"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same.

  I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

  This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

  Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates spiders⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if the characters behave too unnatural

  My wife doesn’t get this.

  I can’t stand watching some movies because every part of the movie is just one character doing something unnatural or outright insane that nobody would ever do, and the people around them react in similarly unnatural and insane ways.

  And certain old movies (especially holiday oriented ones) that lean heavily into the “everyone here is a bumbling idiot” trope crank this up to 11.

  If you enjoy said things, awesome. Good for you. Keep watching them, it literally does not affect me. I’m genuinely glad you have entertainment. I just won’t watch it with you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents have between 1,000 and 3,000 books… Even they aren’t sure.

  Last time they were neatly arranged I was a child.

  Right now they have 3 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked as densely as possible, 3 books deep, with as many stacked In and laying on top as can fit Ina rectangle 10ft tall, 4ft wide, and 18ish inches deep.

  Plus a handful of waist high shelves, multiple moving boxes filled up that haven’t been emptied since they moved in2017 and a ton scattered all over the house…

  They have more fantasy/Sci fi books than every library in a 50 mile radius combined.

  I still have less than 30 books to my name since most of mine are digital, but I’ve been going to half price books looking to get physical copies of everything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They barely watch dvds anymore since they’re spending like 100/mo on various streaming subs.

  They’ve had a book in hand for as long as I can remember, nowadays it’s a Kindle but their disorganization has been present as long as I can remember, too.

  Last year I watched their dog while they were out of town, and I reorganized their dvd collection in alphabetical order, keeping the various series together.

  In less than 6 months it was essentially back to complete chaos. And in that time,according to them, they barely watched any dvds, they just looked through the shelves a bunch to figure out what they have.Why that requires them to pull movies out and out them back in a different spot, I’m not sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Op Shop seems to have ordered their secondhand books by colour for some reason⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was a child, I once knocked every book off every shelf in the house.

  Because I had 6 books in alphabetical order on my little shelf in my room. My mother kept rearranging them in as close a rainbow distribution as possible… I asked her to stop many times, but ultimately decided if you’re going to mess up my shelf, I will mess up yours.

  Surprisingly this tactic worked, and they didn’t make me clean up the books by myself, they did most of it.

  Their idea of “organizing” the books is “well most of the books in that series are close to each other, but a bunch of other random ones are mixed in, and entire genres have been rearranged many times so who knows what books we even actually have”

  They have a similar way of organizing dvds. It’s infuriating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead in San Francisco apartment⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

  Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

  When pasting the link, add “&t=XmXXs”, and replace the Xs with numbers. In this case, “&t=2m29s”

  That’s the only thing added to the link, so as long as you know how many minutes and seconds into the video you want to share, you can type it in manually.

  Not the same as having a dedicated button for specific times, but it’s a simple workaround.

  I found out the Shrike likes to impale it’s victims on spikes thorns and sticks for later consumption.

  Both are pretty metal.

  Romans carved and painted grafitti on plenty of things over the centuries they were around.

  Let the silly gooses be goofy goobers, I say. Maybe humans in 1500 years will have a chuckle.

  Sure it says it could kick my ass, but if it’s so confident why doesn’t it come up here and prove it? Bitch ass horror from the deep…

  Yeah, like… This was absolutely me as a kid, I just imagined my fully grown dad but child-size, so I want to laugh…

  But I can’t laugh when it’s just a photo that’s essentially going “HAHA LOOK AT THIS ABNORMAL PERSON, LET ME BRING FOCUS TO THE ABNORMAL THING HAHA!”

  It feels gross.

  So I approve of the joke, just not the accompanying image.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I once dropped a water bottle out of my backpack, and couldn’t find it when I retraced my hike, but I did start noticing tons of trash everywhere.

  So I started keeping a trash bag in my backpack, and filling a small bag every time I hike.

  I may not have found my bottle, but I’ll make sure I clean up more than I left every time I’m out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder why people litter in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.

  And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I’m taking it with me because I didn’t succeed in throwing it away.

  Shrugging ans saying “well I tried” as you walk away isn’t even trying.

  Ive seen it being played by almost everyone on my friends lists at one point or another

  honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Manor Lords is getting new maps, building upgrades and reworks for the marketplace and ale distribution⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a neat game. I’ve put a couple dozen hours into a few villages over the last few months. There’s still a lot to improve on, but based on the little I’ve learned about the developer this seems like more of a passion project than a money maker.

  Chug along, little dev, there’s dozens of us waiting for updates! *dozens!×

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"TRON: Ares" Director Talks Post-Production - Dark Horizons⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually hadn’t heard of this movie yet. I try not to keep up with movies and games so I’m not too disappointed by over-hyped content.

  I got a little excited at just the title, and as soon as I saw “Ares (Jared Leto)” all desire to watch it went out the window, my insides dropped a little, and the Tron Legacy is now derezzed. Pun entirely intended.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “throwing together a quick meal” should have it’s own word.

  “cooking” to me implies you’re working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.

  But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn’t feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.
