  I could see it in the thumbnail on my phone. It was so obvious I spent another minute staring at the foreground of the photo looking for an actual hidden speed bump lol. Different story in a vehicle moving 25+ when you’re not specifically told to look for it though.

  Spray paint a dick on it and it’ll be repainted within a week

  Ads suck hard, but avoiding them was just one of the plethora of advantages of early streaming. Early Netflix had what felt like infinite content, on demand, for a fraction of the price of cable. That’s why the majority of cord cutters ditched cable; price. Avoiding ads was definitely a factor but it was hardly the main one for most of us.

  The modern streaming industry has embraced ads in a way that feels somehow grimier than cable because the ads are targeted and we all know it’s greed that’s put them there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peacock has ads when pausing a movie to read the text⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Streaming killed cable though? Streaming was so good and reasonably priced I had no good reason to pirate. Now the streaming services are more jam packed with ads and as expensive as cable was, so it’s back to the high seas for me matey.

  Make sure to check if hospitals in your city/state have forgiveness programs. When my wife was out of work we were able to get 80% of the bill written off. I make $100k a year and still qualify for like 40% forgiveness just for submitting paperwork.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A third so far!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For most Americans- Marxism=communism=socialism=authoritarianism.

  Those same morons pine to return to the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s where we had FDRs socialist policies.

  Theft, massive amounts of theft. Both intentional and unintentional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨modern classic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been in a house with a conversation pit, almost no Americans have actually seen one. They’re a leftover from the 60s and 70s when people were high on coke or “weight loss” pills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨modern classic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Millennial here. I just remodeled my kitchen and bathroom. It was a fucking battle to get my wife to agree to wood cabinets instead of bland white or millennial blue. I got her to agree to a deep sea blue tile for one shower wall because almost everything else in the bathroom was white or grey.

  Most people don’t have originality or any sense of color, so they look online and see these sterile white rooms that photograph well but lack character. They just mimic what they see because it’s easier than having actual preferences.

  I’m in a similar situation. It looks really fun but I struggle to make it past the first few days.

  There’s a painful learning curve that needs a way more comprehensive tutorial to overcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do elaborate on the accusations of "toxicity"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of us are pretty far left for the USA and believe the DNC is compromised by corporate money. I dislike the Democrats but the GOP is run by MAGA who I believe betrayed our country Jan 6th.

  Saying shit like this is almost certainly why I’m on the list lol

  Agreed. If I can make billions fracking and it costs me millions to shift the narrative for enough people to get my bill passed I’m still making tons of money.

  Most of us want the same things, just some of us have completely ingested lies and half truths the news spews. They legitimately believe all leftists want Marxist communism across the world.

  Don’t get me wrong, 2 hours for a game is hella short, but too many games want me to spend hundreds of hours on them and just aren’t good enough to justify that kind of time investment. The best games respect your time imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just gotta find a decent private tracker and keep your ratio good.

  It does automatically turn off after a turn, the only difference is really the second push in the same direction to turn it off. It just prevents the stalk from being pushed too far in the other direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, they haven’t even announced a release date. But I’m sure they’ll do typical Rockstar shit and charge the full $80 when they release it two years after console.

  There’s thoughts it’ll come to PC sooner than five did because Rockstar postponed PC port of five to work on the next Gen console release, but I honestly don’t even care. There’s like 20 games in my backlog and other great games will release before then. The large lapse in time between titles has me feeling totally fine never playing 6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to recall the last AAA game I even played when it was relatively new… Starfield I think and yeah, it sucked.

  Loving an indie called Surroundead right now. $5 zombie survival open world and some guy just made a multiplayer mod and I can’t wait to play with my buddy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me San Andreas was the best game. The mechanics were solid and the game had a whimsy to it that was completely thrown away with 4 and 5. I didn’t think the story writing was particularly good, but the characters and missions were super memorable and fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Impossible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes a little time to get used to but it’s ultimately the superior design. Light tap for three blinks, hard press to turn signal on, another tap in the same direction to disengage. You never accidentally click too far that other way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol you can choose to play the character as gay if you’d like, but besides some dudes coming onto you there’s no forced gayness.

  There’s definitely no mandatory gay sex scenes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played for a few hours because I got it for free. I’ve been begging my gaming buddies to give it a shot but the initial impressions and reviews still have them scared.

  Seemed pretty cool imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No it’s kinda great because there’s already a banging catalog of games and they’re dirt cheap!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, I take the train and everyone who’s gaming is on their phone or a retro handheld. In the airport is a different story though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. I’ve put more hours on my retro handheld playing ps1 and SNES games in the last year than I’ve spent on my desktop. It was $26, and I’ve hardly even dented the library it’s got.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The core gameplay is solid. The story is fucking wack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually use a 3d printed device that holds a switch joycon on either side of my phone. It works in both horizontal and vertical orientations and leaves the entire screen open. I only really use it for DS games and still prefer standalone devices, I’ve been killed by a notification blocking my phone screen too many times!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a whole thing typed out about why this thing feels inferior to a standalone. Then I realized it could be used for games developed for mobile, not just emulators. I get it now lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But for $35 I can get a r3x variant which has a screen, why would someone choose this over that?
