I had to put a jumper on the motherboard to do a hard BIOS reset on my son’s PC, and format the hard drive and do a fresh OS install. There are reddit threads and YouTube videos of people doing the same. I consider that bricked, but I suppose your definition could be more extreme.

Battlefield 6 was the best-selling game in the U.S. in 2025.
Wow that’s surprising to me considering how it required Secure Boot enabled, which bricked a lot of people’s PCs. I installed the beta for my son and thought “there’s no fucking way the average gamer is going to be able to do this.”

Nice article. I had no idea GoldenEye was rereleased a few years ago! I’ll have to check it out.

I bought an HDMI adapter for my old Wii that’d been sitting on a shelf for years. Fired it up and it still works great! Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Guitar Hero: all entertaining as ever!

Yeah it is. I saw that movie for my 12th birthday and it still holds a special place in my heart.

That actually kinda makes sense though. He was saying he didn’t want a relationship, just the sex part. I’m sure Charlie Sheen would have no problem finding people to have sex with that didn’t require payment, they would just expect a relationship as part of it.
As opposed to other dude, who just was gay and was trying to sound like he wasn’t gay.

Seems like the article mentioned Steam numbers, which is probably a bit off considering most people are probably still using Battlenet.

I can’t imagine that would be comfy. That’s a lot of weight on the ol’ bean bag.

Shawarma is the closest I’ve found, but it’s not quite the same. Gyros usually are made with pitas, which isn’t how the kebabs I used to eat were made.

Turkish-German Döner is so popular it is sold basically everywhere now.
I fucking wish. I lived in France 20+ years ago and loved the stuff. Came back to the US and have been waiting to see a good Döner kebab for over 2 decades now.

Yeah my biggest regret is that I know my personality of hardly ever completely cashing out of anything. If I ever trade stock options and have a call up big, I’ll usually sell part of it and hold the rest till expiration.

In 2012, one of my friends in Colorado had a Bitcoin mining rig that was making $200 worth of Bitcoin a month. But he was moving to California where energy prices were higher, so he offered to sell me the whole thing. He wanted just over $1,000 for it, which was too rich for my blood. At the time I thought “it might break even in 5 months, or it could start losing money if prices go down or if Bitcoin gets harder to mine. Too risky.”
I think Bitcoin was around $5 a piece at the time, so it would have been putting out 40 coins a month. Now logically I know that had I bought that mining rig from him, I certainly wouldn’t have held everything it made and waited to sell until Bitcoin peaked. But every once in a while, like right now, I do the math and realize that thing was pumping out $13,731,278 a month at today’s prices and just fucking hate my life.

Many assumed after the “South Park” Season 27 premiere aired that its entire climactic sequence was created using AI. The new BTS images, however, reveal that not only was it practically filmed, but the micropenis featured in it was really Parker’s finger.
Haha that’s a great pic

Dammit this is so true. With us, it’s chips. My teenage son poured himself almost an entire bag of Doritos into a bowl the other day. But them sometimes I notice our pantry is overflowing with bags of chips because everyone has magically decided they don’t eat chips now.

I reject your reality and accept OP’s reality - where these birds are alive and happily drunk. Sorry, but that’s just the world we live in now.

- Comment on That's a tight sandwich 1 month ago:
You’ve fallen for the classic gas station food trap. If you look at it, there’s absolutely no ham behind the strategically placed sticker. Also that cheese is probably less than a single slice of cheese overall. You can tell by looking at the bottom right where you can see how deep it goes.
All in all, that a pretty shitty sandwich.

Crazy how repeating a false narrative allows it to stick. That’s why these ass clowns are always so quick to get in the first word and say shit like Renee Nicole Good was a domestic terrorist. Spouting bullshit is powerful.

- Comment on "i can hear the difference" 2 months ago:
I used to sell TVs for Best Buy back in the day. The Video Department manager, my boss, set up a display side by side to show the difference between $40 Monster cables and the normal cables that came with a DVD player.
When there was no noticable difference, he went into the TV settings and adjusted the settings for the normal cables to make the picture look like shit. Not all customers are that gullible though, so usually one of the more savvy ones would fix the settings. So my boss would have to go in and fuck the settings up again once or twice a shift.
