• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we have a static vintage web?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I would just like to add my favorite way to surf the old web is to go to wiby.me and click “surprise me…” and then either keep doing that or scour their link sections for more similar sites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I never understood the praise at all. It’s literally turning DRM into a business model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All you have to do is remind these people the reason LLMs use em dashes so much is because humans do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to know there are roughly 6 real numbers for every integer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, that would be instant end the date for me.

  Why are you dating if you’re that afraid? And frankly, how did you work up enough courage to leave the house?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have mp3s and an 800 KB binary that can play them. That’s it.

  People massively overcomplicate this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be nice to have disgraced politicians. Wouldn’t work in my country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop sleeping through everything?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can’t afford health care then apply for medicaid. Hopefully you live in a blue state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  seems much more likely that someone new will be born after I die and experience life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I gfuess I’m too american to understand the difference between pto and vacation days. There is one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus, there is just zero chance any new game could possibly come out of the gate with more features and hours of gameplay than CoH. Physically impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My problem is that my brain can’t grasp skipping the reward for winning a battle. Success should feel good. But skipping cards feels really bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m replaying Shogun Showdown. It’s my favorite turn-based roguelite. It turns out that a one-dimensional game can be incredibly tactical and engaging. I also appreciate that it’s not ultra difficult like turn-based games have a tendency of being. The difficulty feels nice to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  G or D. G is the logical choice but giving up Mexican food is hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a 19 y/o⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably about the time that we decided that a certain age means you’re an adult and can, in fact, make decisions for yourself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m so sick of bad performance from all the big engines these days. Even unity makes simple 2d games chug.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile I’ve done five or six playthroughs of Freelancer while the game has been in development and had more fun than I’ll ever have with Star Citizen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DEI, more like DIED⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Luigi definitely would’ve got you first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit lost it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How pathetic how much lemmy doesn’t like this comment. Even 15 years ago, censorship on the internet was taboo. Now these lame-ass losers want to pull the ladder up behind them after enjoying whatever the hell they wanted in peace.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Misogyny or something... Idk⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If only there was a way to prevent people from looking at your cleavage…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s CEO is grappling with a ‘two-tier economy’ as he slashes prices on value meals—and signals backing for a minimum wage increase⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  uh there are still loads of people living on like 30k/yr. you 100k people will fucking live

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨production line⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss the energy of using image compression to get good-looking images that are small in file size. People see nothing wrong with a simple image that’s like 5 megs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First multiplayer FPS I played was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (released in '97). In that game, you had to lead your shots to a silly degree to actually hit anyone. But I think you’re right; by then most games weren’t suffering from that problem as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the one hand, we’re more accustomed to better hardware latency. On the other hand… we played first-person shooters on 56K modems. The lag was legendary

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would. If you wanted to make money from it, you should have sold it as an eBook instead of posting it to some forum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The internet kind of sucks right now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I the only person who doesn’t care if people ‘scrape’ my ‘knowledge?’

  That’s the whole point of putting something online. So anyone can look at it. I’m not about to get petty about who has access and who doesn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud wins the Hugo Award for Best Game or Interactive Work⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  First screen is much more readable at a glance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, you literally put words in the original commenter’s mouth:

  I know you think this will harm you and everyone you know, but it’ll be much better if you just stay quiet instead of vocally opposing it

  and now you’re incredulous about something similar being done to you? lame

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy be like⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only because most of the people here don’t have the faintest idea what AI is or how it works.
