- Comment on Starbound Fans: New Dedicated Server Open to Lemmy 4 days ago:
I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.
The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.

You can thank Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad for that shit.

It was James Buchanan, not Van Buren that was a lifelong bachelor with a “roommate.”
I was just looking it up to make a comment about it. He was also a pro slavery president.

That’s pretty much why I am studying it.
- Comment on What a relief! 2 weeks ago:
Of all the things the French tried to “fix” during the revolution, it amazes me that they didn’t try to simplify the way they say large numbers. Or if they did, that it didn’t stick.
I am trying to learn French, and haven’t got into large numbers yet, but I know about this, and I am dreading it.

It seems I managed to block McZee from my memory. After a quick search, I’m glad I did.

It was 3D movie maker. I looked it up after I made the comment, and forgot to reply or update.
I remember it being janky as hell.

This just unlocked a memory of playing something similar but it was pre 2005 and did not look like the screenshots.

A similar reaction when you see someone suddenly has a joint Facebook account with their spouse. Or when out of nowhere they start posting bible quotes 10 times a day with photos of their spouse and kids. (Someone’s been a cheatin.)
- Comment on A hypothesis 3 weeks ago:
I can technically claim I started with a hand me down C64 from my grandmother in the early 90s. But I was like 6 years old, and I didn’t really get into computers until we got a Windows 95 machine a couple of years later. Though by 99-2000 I was regularly playing around with the C64 for the novelty of what felt like ancient tech.

- Comment on Amazon unveils prototype AI smart glasses for its delivery drivers 5 weeks ago:
One of my best friends is an Amazon delivery driver. This is just going to make his miserable job even more miserable.
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t.
But I know people who only play COD and Madden. So if that’s all you are ever going to play, I guess it might make sense to spend all your gaming money on it?

The new season of King of the Hill, S14E9 “No Hank Left Behind” nailed that boot camp thing. Starts off as an Andrew Tate parody, ends with Hank teaching a bunch of near incels the error of their ways.

The mitochondria better still be the power house of the cell. Or we are going to flip some tables and burn the place down.
- Comment on Yummy 2 months ago:
More the other way around. The m&ms and raisins pick up salt from the other stuff which is what is gross to me.
- Comment on Yummy 2 months ago:
The weird thing is I absolutely love raisins by themselves. But I despise them as an ingredient in anything. Terrible in cookies. I hate trail mix because I don’t like sweet and salty together.
- Comment on Yummy 2 months ago:
I’ve had some good ones. But most of them are terrible. Usually because they put raisins in them.
- Comment on Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI 2 months ago:
The only reason they would consider a 3 day work week is to make all their employees “part time” and deny them benefits.
- 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 months ago:
I haven’t played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it’s just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.
