  I haven’t played Scrabble in forever but won’t that cost 3 precious 'e’s?

  last time I played it was pre-high school but I recall my strategy was to be greedy with vowels

  I don’t think I won though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Call me cheap

  homie that game is $70

  You’re not cheap, you’re literally trying not to get robbed

  You can buy a few dozen really good indie games for a fraction of that price

  That urge to buy and play it ASAP is marketing doing its job.

  Easier said than done, but if you really hate EA, your only choice is to eat the FOMO.

  Otherwise, you’re feeding the beast.

  No one ever addresses the basketball careers in this saga

  Bravo Onion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Kick me in the brain stem if I’m on the wrong track, but I feel like it’s by design

  In general,

  Everyone hates public officials taking bribes

  Everyone hates streaming services raising their subscription fees

  Everyone hates advertisements

  Everyone hates big pharma charging $1000 for a cancer treatment pill that costs 0.1c to manufacture

  The throughline is obvious, but I feel most people just take a neutral or dismissive (and sometimes aggressive) stance if you bring it up.

  It’s that cognitive dissonance that feels engineered.

  I don’t know how to fix that. Admittedly, I still need to do more reading.

  there is more than one photo

  I meant to imply this using the word “story”. I’m shit at communication, sorry :(

  This is part of what I specifically found amusing:

  I wasn’t even thinking about the pre-folding aspect. I like logistics stuff, so that’s cool to learn. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know Thy Enemy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not really trolling, more shitposting

  I truly apologise if I made your mood worse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know Thy Enemy!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was he not both of those things?

  Ardent Nazi: Literally a Nazi general

  Bad General: Literally lost the war

  (NSFW at times)

  I don’t know what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t that many people with their bare ass cheeks out.

  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gratuitous, but enough to feel like some kind of pattern. Just people with their butts hanging out.

  Anyways, this little story was my favourite: Image

  gym

  taking grey market steroids and lecturing visibly more athletic gym members on form and technique

  Knowledge

  believing hallucinations from chatgpt and buying meme cryptocurrency

  investing in mentors

  buying a $1000 online course that teaches basic repackaged self-help

  business

  stealing the surplus labour value of workers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Windows in a nutshell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lets say they don’t use private data for training

  (Continue reading when you’re done laughing):

  Eventually, victims eventually run out of “free” storage.

  The humble corporation will do a bunch of psychologically unethical tricks to basically hypnotize users into forking over those three digits at the back of the family credit card.

  Now the victim’s data is effectively held ransom. Keep paying or lose it.

  But they won’t stop paying. They paid for a year’s plan at a discount and the peaceful megacorp conveniently hit autorenew for them at checkout.

  12 months roll around and oopsie, they already have the money. They could go through the refund process, but they’ve got shit on their plate, might as well keep it for another year.

  I could keep rambling, but on Lemmy, I’m probably preaching to the choir about the first verse of genesis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Windows in a nutshell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Then Windows tried to push their cloud backup on me… twice

  This is major boundary respect by Microsoft’s standards

  Place your bets for the final game

  I’m going with Roblox

  (no money/crypto will be exchanged, because gambling is haram and I placed a really bad meme bet)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d rather spend that kind of money on an escort

  That way I’ll only be fucked once instead of being routinely fucked by the subscription fees

  Real life: yes

  Game: harsh

  Like, they could have put him in the naughty corner or something. I don’t like the idea of banning as a game mechanic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  wtf

  If traffic rules were that strictly punished in real life there’d be like max 7 cars on road globally

  I assume you’ve been mass reported in whatever game you made this for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would probably be unable to buy a PC or console ever again.

  Shit dude, that’s rough
  If I may ask, what happened?

  Otherwise, no nearby gaming cafés? They’re usually reasonably priced

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft layoffs are reportedly underway, with ZeniMax and King employees losing their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  people just don’t want to work anymore

  NO

  THEY CLEARLY FUCKING DO

  BUT YOU FUCKING GREEDY CUNTS KEEP FIRING EVERYONE AND TAKE FAT FISCAL QUARTER BONUSES

  AND THEN IT’S A 19 STEP INTERVIEW PROCESS WHEN THEY TRY TO LOOK FOR A NEW JOB

  AND THAT’S IF THEY’RE “LUCKY” ENOUGH FOR THE DOGSHIT AI TO RANDOM.CHOICE() THEIR RESUME OUT OF THE 900+ OTHER DESPERATE APPLICANTS

  THEN THEY FINALLY SOMEHOW GET AN OFFER: $1.89 per full uninterrupted hour at your desk and a single bag of skittles (opened)

  Sorry for the caps, I’ve been in the job market recently and it’s fucking brutal. I have to constantly justify my value as a human being and then just face rejection after rejection.
