  And I’ll voice mine.

  Mine is neither, but go off.

  Nah, I think I will.

  Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don’t like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don’t fucking pay it. It’s not that hard.

  Luis von Ahn says criticism over strategy change shows ‘anxiety’ about technology replacing jobs

  Motherfucker, you’re the one that fired slews of employees to be replaced by text-prediction algorithms. It’s not “anxiety”, you’re fucking doing it.

  Is that…Seth Rogen? Wtf? XD

  This is gonna be a travesty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All of those comments and posts will remain on instances they have federated to. Transferring posting history would necessitate resubmitting every single post you’ve ever made, needlessly and messily duplicating one user’s presence across the fediverse. And in the case of a closing instance, that bulk is multiple several hundred or thousand times over. Not a reasonable request by any stretch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game files are verified, House⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?

  Look at the sub. There is no F in that acronym.

  A classic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF16eA7sdqo (one weird edit with the zoom-in to the dad’s face, by otherwise seems accurate)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Blackmailing customers onto your service isn’t competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conan O'Brien credits his young fans for helping him get through losing 'The Tonight Show'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The whole CoCo rallying cry was so great. I was outraged on his behalf at the time and am so happy he found the path he did. He’s just the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devolver Digital Announces Shroom And Gloom, A First-Person 'Double-Deckbuilder' Roguelike With A Demo Out Now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “One for exploring and one for fighting” is much less meta than I was expecting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you know the answer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can just say “I don’t understand probability” next time and save a whole bunch of effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says Hollywood 'dying' orders 100% tariff on non-US movies to save it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Big “I don’t like pop music” vibes when they only know about 5 artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump says Hollywood 'dying' orders 100% tariff on non-US movies to save it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He asks, “What is the most batshit thing I could do today to destabilize this country more and rile people up?”, then does shit like this about whatever triggers him that day (or whoever he’s told to target).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨May 4th⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Telling on yourselves with the red saber. Also the absurdity of that physicality vs reality is just pathetic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple TV+ is ‘worst marketer in the universe,’ says producer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Did it? I love that show, but I don’t hear about it anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new kids' show will come with a crypto wallet when it debuts this fall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Article about a crypto kids show obviously generated on an llm. The future sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else are they hiding from us?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fallen into several arguments in Lemmy about exactly that. I have no hard feelings at Mike Judge or even the movie really, but it’s fiction, not a warning from the future. Honestly, people need to stop treating fiction as documentary evidence. At best it’s interesting thought experiments, not something one should base their world view on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Original 'Star Wars' Cut Will Be Shown at a Theater for First Time in Decades⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Once had a discussion with some coworkers that legit didn’t know the original cut had no Jabba. They were so certain that they actually almost had me convinced for a moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot air expands and cold air contracts. You want the air in the bowl to be hot so it’s not creating negative pressure.

  Just watched the GC premiere last night and what a fucking start. It has all the energy they usually put into the finales. Really looking forward to the rest of the season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bravery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weird you felt the need to jump to the defense of a bully.
