- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS’d. It’ll smooth out.
- Comment on Movies not starting when they are scheduled. 1 week ago:
It can vary. I haven’t been to many movies lately, but 25 minutes of ads was pretty standard at the chain cinemas with the popular movies. Smaller theaters and/or smaller movies could be as low as 10 minutes sometimes. Just gotta keep in mind the context and plan accordingly.
- Comment on Movies not starting when they are scheduled. 1 week ago:
I do this at un-reserved theaters too. Just gotta be more flexible with your seating. Unless the theater’s absolutely packed and you get stuck at the very front, most of the seats are going to give you a good experience. It’s what the theater’s designed for.
- Comment on Movies not starting when they are scheduled. 1 week ago:
Just go in 20 minutes later? Been doing it for years at this point.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 4 may happen eventually, but not with Larian Studios 2 weeks ago:
Stumbles ass first into giving creative control of their property to one of the most devoted and talented studios of the decade, leading to a wildly successful and popular game.
“That’s great! Let’s give it to someone else!” - some stupid ass exec who can only see ahead one financial quarter at a time.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
And I’ll voice mine.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
Mine is neither, but go off.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
Nah, I think I will.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’ 3 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on ANIMAL FARM | Exclusive First Look 4 weeks ago:
Is that…Seth Rogen? Wtf? XD
This is gonna be a travesty.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 4 weeks 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 4 weeks ago:
Mate, how do you play any games if 500mb takes too much time?
- Comment on This Is The End (2013) 4 weeks ago:
Get Out (2017)
- Comment on J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization 5 weeks ago:
Look at the sub. There is no F in that acronym.
- Comment on Doctor who worked with Biden says he had cancer ‘while he was president’: ‘He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days’ 1 month ago:
And?
- Comment on Rob McElhenney Reveals the Inspiration Behind Frank’s Infamous Couch Scene on ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ 1 month ago:
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? 1 month 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' 1 month 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 1 month ago:
“One for exploring and one for fighting” is much less meta than I was expecting.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Article about a crypto kids show obviously generated on an llm. The future sucks.
- Comment on What else are they hiding from us? 2 months 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 2 months 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.
