  I didn’t realize that it wasn’t digital all this time. Digital is the only way to play such titles, haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, Sans is smarter than that; he’d say how you can’t refund because you’ve already played for way more than 2 hours to get this far. If anything, he would mention your actual playtime statistic in his dialogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tax Strike Tactics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a video game’s name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, there’s a reason it’s called “work” and not “fun!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nnnnnnoooooow you’re talkin’ my fantasy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, until they start choking you to death due to falsely thinking that that’s what you want. Sounds like a fun temptation but it’d still be ultimately introducing more IoT into my home, which is a “no” from me, dawg, due to hacking risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Universal Paperclips is such a great browser game, as buggy as it may (have) be(en).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oops, I misunderstood and agree; I didn’t realize a second launcher was the issue here. That is messed up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am aware of this list. Try comparing it to itch.io and GOG, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the context, which led me to downvote this post. Come on, guys; not all complaints are valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mandatory launchers can fuck right off.

  … Iike Steam’s? 😛

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Although l think it sacrifices achievement progress, you may consider Heroic Games Launcher instead, which is open-source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is playing horror games a good way to get desensitized to fear, or it gonna backfire and make my anxiety worse?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s assuming you can reach even a fraction of that amount to begin with… Musicians and athletes don’t hit that amount because the hurdles towards expertise are scary to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is playing horror games a good way to get desensitized to fear, or it gonna backfire and make my anxiety worse?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And give you the answer you want! 🥹

  That’s only the fatties with sleep apnea. Survival of the fittest, nerd! /s

  I built a small python app

  Cool! Wanna share?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New project, new energy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds like you need to get help from other collaborators!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to meet girls at college⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sad to say that I wouldn’t bet on it…

  Is it too soon to use Trump’s "Fight!"×3 GIF?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's good options for groups of mods to communicate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Delta.Chat lol. Or Telegram, maybe. Hmm… Is it possible to make private Lemmy communities? Haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Permanent art that isn’t lent out? How?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, and even a Cricut at really well-off ones!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Periodic reminder to get your library cards and fill out museum surveys.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Items at some libraries:

  • Kill-a-Watt voltage meter
  • Radon detector
  • Telescope
  • Microscope with slides
  • Board games
  • Cooking appliances
  • T-Mobile-powered, infini-data hotspot devices that can fit in your pocket and provide Internet
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  *friends (2 guys), and idk about them being discriminating because at least one of them is quite open and nonjudgmental. That’s the whole point of why I shared, to find out how accurate or inaccurate their sentiment is. We don’t have to suddenly attack them by saying they’re discriminating just because their experience isn’t universal (which I now know is the case, thanks to everyone here)…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Um, I personally know these people and they weren’t trolling… Someone having a different experience than you doesn’t automatically make them dumb, geez.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Two bisexual friends have independently told me from their own experiences that “bisexual” mostly = “gay with a dash of hetero,” effectively, and that it’s not at all 50/50. I wonder how true that is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Slice & Dice, which is on Steam, Android, iOS, DRM-free PC download, and probably more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad vibes: How an AI agent coded its way to disaster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vibe-wrecking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There wouldn’t need to be much of a line if we simply got such companies to cough up for UBI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sometimes better because I myself may not even like the actual gameplay (such as long grinds, which you can skip over in a video if it’s not a theatrical cut to begin with), but otherwise wanna see the story.
