  Only silver lining of gas going to is including these guys are paying even more to drive that ugly pos. Not worth everything else going up in price, though.

  (I think that’s f250 according to the side, but a 6.7 diesel? $7.50 is the rate for diesel around here and it’s got something like 13 to 14mpg real world stats so lol.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two Twilight Princess PC Ports in the making⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d be more interested in a fan sequel built on these. TP Link has more story in him, I’m quite certain (no spoilers, though).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmm 🤔⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the Nic Cage movies and drowning deaths correlation more. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung Galaxy Extinguisher⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does that work with lithium battery fires? The last three spicy pillows I’ve dealt with were Samsung.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally paid off my Costco hotdog in 4 easy installments!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weirder than you think. Oddly, you hurt your score with too many hot dog loans. Financial experts usually recommend somewhere between 2 to 4 outstanding hotdog loans being paid out at once, as too many indicates bad financial practice.

  What works against you, though, is the per loan amount. You might never get above 700 as your loan cap is $1.50. For some reason, it looks bad to credit agencies if credit providers don’t set your cap high, even though technically you can’t unless you already have good credit. Given my former $150 store card I copayed for my mom lowered my score, I can’t imagine a $1.50 loan looking good on your report, lol.

  If they just wait a moment, I’m sure there’s a Waffle House around the corner. “I got teleported to a Waffle House on the moon!” wrote one bugged out reviewer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And it's now time for everyone's favorite game....⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually I think this might just be an evergreen post since it’s always relevant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨phonetic alphabet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all laugh but the US adopted this alphabet back in 2025.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I like FF7 but I wish instead of a JRPG, it was a generic ARPG” said an SE exec at some point, apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always funny to hear the young try to figure out stuff from the past.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the number of people who know what a cassette tape is, I always find these jokes about floppies unrealistic. But a shitpost is a shitpost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We thought it would be free forever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve simply evolved our methods, although it’s crazy spending any amount of time on a mainstream social media because it’s remarkable just how many people seem to have no idea you can pirate things. Limewire and Napster were so mainstream, comparatively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perhaps the only appropriate use of AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Quiet city montage… lol.

  I’m old enough to remember an April Fools Day bit Adult Swim once did where every show just had consistent, random fart sounds including serious anime like Ghost in the Shell. I’m certain this LLM would approve of such a work of (f)art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must've been the wind⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True. I think Tetra mod might let you, at least. Although I think you need something for the binding still so it’s not 1:1, lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must've been the wind⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A few mods let you do this. You shouldn’t, but you could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is hopeless…

  Because it’s the fucking red coins BEFORE you get the that star so you need some fancy jumps to get it and no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to do it and ugh I’m never gonna get that sweet RA badge-- hopeless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meanwhile in California⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A little unfair since Chevron is often 50 cents to a dollar more, but it’s still pretty bad. 5.60 a gallon at the cheapest. We still tax our gas though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You after telling your friends for the 179004th time today that they should just stop complaining about Windows 11 and just use Linux⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weirdly, nothing so far with my latest swap has needed extra attention, but having to manually mount drives every boot (or adjust the config) might confound a former Windowsian. At least with my distro, anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨California father arrested after repainting crosswalk, adding stop signs near children’s park⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, always weird when I see local news on my Lemmy feed.

  FYI, South Bay is especially car brained, even my LA. We have a major refinery, some car manufacturer HQs, and I’m pretty sure more mechanics per capita than most of Cali. Long history with the automotive industry going back to the founding of a lot of these little cities.

  It’s a shame, too. The beach cities are lovely places to walk and somehow have terrible biking and public transportation infrastructure. The people there can be a bit entitled, though (and it’s it just me or did this guy do it right outside his fucking home? Lol). But I don’t know a solution, it’s practically every other day someone is mowed down 'round here by a muscle car, and the areas East of El Segundo have a lot more waking families since we can’t afford cars.

  A little hope, though. I saw they mentioned the Sawtelle area too. I used to live there, and not only did they 180 on that case, Stoner Park is now surrounded by mini roundabouts. So change does happen after this type of thing, and their jurisdiction is LA itself, not a smaller city in a city.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Nippon Ichi Software president says the “salaryman-ification” of Japan’s game industry is why there are fewer “individual creators” like Hideo Kojima and Suda51 - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s something rich about this coming from Nippon Ichi’s former head, the company that brought us the artistic masterpieces known as the Disgaea series. Truly visionaries, lol.

  (PS I like the games and tbf, they’re… unique).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kind of wild but Fortnite makes (or made?) way more money than UE royalties, like magnitudes more. UE is a boon to the industry to be sure, but somehow 5% of games’ revenue simply isn’t the same as insane people spending money on stupid skins and dances.

  Now is UE was used for 20 games as big as Fortnite, they’d be fine but most AAA companies won’t use UE if they expect a huge haul, with a few exceptions of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨betrayal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fake, since real Minecraft fans very much were not into it. Unless they’re kids, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom says it 'will not implement assets generated by AI into our game content,' but still plans to use AI to 'enhance efficiency and boost productivity' in game development⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like they’re just covering their asses because the c-suite wants their AI summaries in emails and shit, but the devs know using it for anything is creative suicide. That, and maybe localization still wants their AI tools, which predate LLMs but probably get lumped in anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨workplace enrichment activities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, Riolu doesn’t get their weakness to fire until after their evolution! Plus, he’s wearing his protective Focus Sash, so he’ll be fine (assuming he doesn’t get severe oil BRNs)!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨so i have an ultimatum...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Real question while we shitpost; if they require a 4 second video can you just wear a disguise for fun? I’ve got neat prosthetics I don’t get to use often.

  And if so, which aspects are best to cover up? Bushy unibrow? Demon contacts? Pointy ears? Crazy nose? Forehead ridges?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ShitpostID: 4185519047⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just likes but also… whatever threads calls a retweet. What human being freely echoes an advertisement? Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen it in reverse; people who saw the initial yassification of characters they admittedly didn’t really know we’re impressed by the “rendering” but after a few days, have realized that perhaps it isn’t the creative intent to make everyone look like AI slop.

  Plus even if the tech ends up being good, the demonstration (and subsequent response) is very much not. Shadows getting washed out, people’s arms disappearing, and other things, people looking it over realize it’s not even doing what it wants to do.

  Maybe it’ll work out when the creators have control over it and can prevent it from undoing important stuff, like a character’s plot related scars or lighting effects used to show players where to go, but that’s all suspect until proven otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nationalism tells you your nation is what to be proud of, but that’s dangerous and manipulative.

  Instead, focus on the people. You can be proud of the people who are protesting, people who are running secret grocery runs for people hiding from ICE, people promoting progressive or scientific thought in threatened educational spaces, and so on.

  There are still plenty of us left in the US, some against our will, and you can still be proud of them for still trying when so many others have given up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My Internet is significantly not conservative, hehe. But yes, yes they did and it’s depressing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This clears things up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We all know what happened to Lincoln’s eagle-griffin but what ever happened to his sword, the Emancipator? He didn’t have it on him during his assassination, but it wasn’t at the White House either…
