- Comment on Passengers thought mass train attack 'was a joke' 1 day ago:
Green described how a woman had “thrown him” to safety into a toilet, who subsequently joked: “I don’t usually get in with men who I just met in the toilet”.
Even in crisis we still make jokes, “keep calm and carry on” became a meme for a reason
- Comment on Suggest me some games. Im bored :( 3 days ago:
Free games? The itch.io Halloween sale is on and I did a post with like 130 of them yesterday, and that’s just the ones I hadn’t already claimed! Most of them are probably terrible, but think of sifting through the haystack as a kind of metagame in itself.

Oh no I’m aware kettle bell swings are a pretty normal thing, I’m just imagining someone doing swings with a full barbell and claiming it’s part of their new disruptive exercise regime!

This article certainly makes it seem like they’ve copied the fragile hardware from everyone else

Apple have released a foldable phone now? Any actual innovation or have they just copied and refined what’s already out there?

Only if you want brand new games and top spec hardware. I get free games every day, and I can play them on my old laptop, my dedicated handheld, or even my phone!
- Comment on Nintendo Wins $4.5 Million Judgment Against r/SwitchPirates Mod 'Archbox' * TorrentFreak 5 weeks ago:
Selling the pirated stuff, I guess? I don’t really follow it, but whenever I hear a judgement like this it’s usually from someone actually making money from selling pirated games rather than just cracking or distributing.

Oh wow, homemade weaponry, yeah not what I was expecting here.
Looks like OP is a new user though so I’m guessing they didn’t mean for their question to end up here and with no context.

You might need to define a few of those words. Squirted glock? Compensator? PLA? Lade? Invader v2? I don’t even know what your picture is meant to be of!

Alternative spin: you are the guardian of the hive, only you have been given the genetic power from the queen to protect us when our enemies are at the door, we all rely on you. Also I don’t think ants can build doors!

- Comment on Also literally known as the Horror Frog 3 months ago:
The hairy frog is also notable in possessing retractable “claws”, which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe.[5] These are not true claws, as they are made of bone, not keratin. In addition, there is a small bony nodule nestled in the tissue just beyond the frog’s fingertip. When sheathed, each claw is anchored to the nodule with tough strands of collagen. When the frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks the nodule connection and forces the sharpened bones through the skin.[6][7] Although a retraction mechanism is not known, it has been hypothesized that the claws later retract passively, while the damaged tissue is regenerated.
This type of natural weaponry appears to be unique in the animal kingdom, although the Otton frog possesses a similar “spike” in its thumb.[8] An alternative hypothesis is that the broken bones could provide a better grip on rocks.[9]

Yep, pretty horrifying, accurate name.

- Comment on In 1982, a physics joke gone wrong sparked the invention of the emoticon - Ars Technica 11 months ago:
“After all, when using text-based online communication, we lack the body language or tone-of-voice cues that convey this information when we talk in person or on the phone.”
This quote is from 1982 and yet we all still fall into the same trap today

Since I started !freegames@feddit.uk I’ve not bought a single game but my backlog is growing way faster than I can play through it. Not a bad first-world problem to have, really!

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #21 1 year ago:
I guess they’re trying to make it more integrated and covering every source they can, but something about taking an open source project and turning it into a subscription service to play the games you already bought on the computer you already bought is… not to my taste
- Comment on Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming Division 1 year ago:
That sounds about right. I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I’m not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

What do they do about devices that are still getting minor updates or fixes but not new major versions?
- Comment on iOS 26 Beta 2 tones down the Liquid Glass effect 1 year ago:
Say you released version 2023, 2024, and 2025, all of which are in support at the same time. It’s 2025, but your latest release might be 2023.2, which looks like it’s out of date to a user.
