  Story idea: Lovecraftian horror but from a fish’s perspective and instead of “cosmic horror”, it’s “terrarian horror.”

  Everywhere, all at once.

  Oh, fuck. You live and you learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What went wrong with Pizza Hut?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Marco’s Pizza became a thing.

  Finally, someone that understands my… “interests”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A reminder to not buy “smart” home appliances unless you can self-host it’s internet connectivity or its “smart” features are optional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve gone back to sailing the high seas and don’t regret it. Cost efficient, superior quality, more control and a better service overall. If I do buy music from an artist that actually deserves it, it’s on Bandcamp. I’ve been looking for a physical/analog setup and make copies of those. I’ve also learning how to self-host so I can setup a Navidrome server for seamless transition from device to device.

  Ah yes, the “My ancestors rightfully stole this land and your existence is oppression, kefir!” crowd. We meet again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention, Jewish.

  Well, somebody watched a lot of Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? growing up.

  Carboniferous 2.0. Coming soon to a ecological disaster near you!

  John Brown would be so proud!

  Finally, a sequel to Meatspin. After 45 purchases, you are officially garlic!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨True Story⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A shame really since their stories kick-started the entire Marvel Comics mythos. The Skrulls, Black Panther, Galactus, Silver Surfer, and, of course, Doctor Doom all originated in the pages of FF comics. Yet, as time went, they were overshadowed by later creations. There were only two notable eras of FF comics: the original Kirby/Lee run and the John Byrne era. The only other notable FF stories were some crossovers with the Chris Claremont era X-men comics.

  A life? But I got a Steam Deck!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTuber Faces Possible Jail Time for Reviewing Gaming Handhelds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Emulators. Are. Legal.

  This was settled with the Sony/Bleem debacle. Bleem only provided the software by which one could emulate PSX games but the never the ISO files themselves. Those files could only be provided by the end user regardless of how they obtained them. Sony, of course, couldn’t give less of a shit and sued them anyways. Judges, however, took Bleem’s side on the basis that no copyright infringement had been committed on their behalf. Although Bleem would ultimately win ever lawsuit brought against them, the sheer size of the legal costs led to their closure which makes you if that Sony’s endgame the whole time.

  Here’s a video by Nerrel about the legality of emulation. It’s from 2020 but it is still relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite Tactical RPGs?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Syndicate from 1993. Don’t know if that fulfills the “RPG” part of Tactical RPG but it’s definitely worth a play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking google did it again, they "fixed" something that never broken. This time they make thumbnails way too big even with 70% zoom⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why can’t they make mobile UI design and desktop UI design separate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The after party⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  WOMAN OF DARK DESIRES!!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ace Attorney became a hit IP only because Capcom pushed past the “failure” of first game, according to former dev⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want to came off as simping for Capcom because they’re are a corporation and thus are only profit-driven. But I do want to give credit where credit is due. Greenlighting a sequel despite the first attempt being a flop is not something that many publishers would do. This wouldn’t be the last of Capcom’s unorthodox decisions. When the industry was laying off workers left and right, Capcom actually increased their employees pay. If that increase was actually a substantial increase or not I don’t know but other companies won’t even consider increasing employee pay by a cent.

  Boob politics. We truly live in a society.

  Is that Asahi I see there? Nice setup, btw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Celebration: ‘Star Wars: Visions’ Reveals Season 3 Release Date, ‘The Ninth Jedi’ Standalone Series (October 29th)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Give the franchise a fucking break! No more shows based on some obscure lore! No more blatant monetization of an already dried up IP!

  Wait, what’s that? It’s too profitable? Well then, how about that’s both profitable and worthwhile like a decent mainline trilogy and investing in good expansion material? KOTOR is dire need of continuation and a remaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Libre Office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨women are the devil⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These Mark Dice types are always behind the times. Baphomet was so 2010. DEI and Great Replacement are the cool thing now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI company logos look like buttholes?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because AI is going to fuck us in the ass with no protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I immediately thought of this tune for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during a economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point I think I would⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  • Big ol’ Yurt. 2 or 3 if you have or want to start a family

  • Solar-powered electric generator

  • Vegetable garden

  • Located near Lake Superior

  I can definitely see myself living that kind of life.
