  There are actually quite few RTS out or coming out now, it’s a bit of a resurgence.

  Companies like Ninja charge premium for everything. Air fryers are stupid cheap otherwise, which makes sense for what they are (heating element, fan and a drawer).

  Ignorant and short-sighted, same as people complaining abou CG in movies a decade ago.

  I bit of a derailment here, but having done my annual LotR rewatch recently, some of the CGI is starting to stand out for me. Apparently a remaster would cost way too much, and trying to work with such old scenes would be neigh impossible today due to compatibility issues. But I’ve wondered if a similar tech can be applied, not to change the visuals, but to apply better lighting/shading to things like balrog, or gollum.
  I want to be very clear I don’t wish for a Star Wars-type remake. LotR may be the best trilogy ever, and it seems less and less likely to ever be dethroned as such.

  Skeptical is widely used in Britain too, it’s about 50/50

  Well, at least someone put a bit of elbow grease into that tomfoolery.

  I quite enjoy ‘Supermalt’, a malt drink with NO alcohol. It has a large warning for 18+ on the shelves at Tesco, yet I’m not carded on checkout.

  No jokes, math here

  That’s almost the worst part. Not only is the food ultra-processed now, but it’s all engineered to extract every fraction of a penny in margins.
  If this goes on, I might as well just inject palm oil straight to my veins.

  The easiest way to climb to the top is over other people’s backs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It could be the pressure of ‘staying pretty’
  making them hate themselves for eating to the point of detriment. I understood that ozempic, the weight loss drug, is also widely used, which could be additional peer pressure.
  These people are constantly scrutinised under a microscope, it’s a lot to handle.

  Obviously all speculations, there could be other reasons.

  Sure , that still lands on your floor, and you wash the floor.
  You’re being overly sensitive. It’s well known the average sink has way more bacteria than a toilet, yet that’s where we wash the dishes. Do you stop using the sink because it’s gross?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Not to brag, but I think we nailed the worst rug option available"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How is that disgusting, do you tend to pee around the toilet? They’re also washable…

  Markdown has a core spec and then endless flavours. I assume what they’re saying Lemmy chose to not use underscore markup.

  No, that would cost too much extra in manufacturing, and we’re all sitting for this anyway

  AAA do not manufacture demand for storage, that’s frankly ridiculous.
  This is a simple issue of optimization:
  A: noone cares to optimise the size when performance is a much bigger issue.
  B: games are still often optimised for HDDs on consoles (duplicated assets), then ported to PC with as little effort as possible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This week on Windows...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t they go through a lot of effort to not have to have many testers?
  They have rolling releases and preview channels for regular users to bugtest for them.
