• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't trust like that.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This does have the vibe of those pro-billionaire articles the Washington Post puts out…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important information⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t understand until I hear piratesoftware explain it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Concord servers are now offline. Thank you to all the freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh don’t worry, there’s going to be more.

  A lot of companies are working on live service games in hope of being the next overwatch/destiny.

  Some even have multiple (like Sony) in the hope that even one of them takes off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm terrified of the Netherlands now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an excellent shitpost and made me laugh very hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress happens with every death⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for taking the time to explain that so clearly! It’s really interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Highlander reboot, starring Henry Cavill in the lead role, the movie is set to start filming in early 2025.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first time I watched highlander (I hadn’t heard anything about the movie beforehand) I thought the actor must be Swedish, as his accent was so strange. Took me until the end of the movie he was just trying to be Scottish…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see a bit of everything on here, but I do like that voicing leftist ideals (not sure about left wing) doesn’t get you shot down immediately from all sides (as it would in a lot of other places).

  I imagine that in general leftists exist, but avoid posting in other places due to the abuse they’d receive for doing so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen alpha has no fucking clue⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a “state police open up-er”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is… a lot of people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Soup⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody wants to be a Bob

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It helps to set your preferred age range from 18-110 for full coverage⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It happened where they knew you wouldn’t see them.

  Unfortunately, there were no survivors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk have a baby⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It made me cry laugh.

  Because I sat there for a minute and tried to work out how it was their names.

  Then I realised it wasn’t the setup to a joke. It’s just a the echo of a human, doing tricks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Way Forward, an update from the team behind Cities: Skylines⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re riding this wave over in the Total War community too. Broken game, weak and overpriced DLC.

  We kicked off (and then all their other games managed to flop at once, so they came crawling back) and now we’ve got a notable amount more effort into the DLC coming at the end of the month, as well as price cuts, refunds and redoing of the bad DLC.

  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but I’m seeing positive movements in general on legacy resting-on-laurels games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They really want people to RTO⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a condition.

  It’s a word someone made up to shame people into going against their best interests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon’s Dogma 2 Title Update 1.050 Adds ‘Start New game’, Max 30fps Option, More⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There were some great levels.

  Like, the abandoned ice prison was great.

  And uhhhh… well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can’t be a bad sign, can it?

  Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just like… nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Malaria⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong.

  Check out the Behind the Bastards episodes to see how his charitable efforts often end up more destructive than not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I also don’t want to be marketed at. If it’s good I’ll find out organically.

  And I don’t want to find out about it at/before release-time. Because then I’ll want to buy it on release.

  That’s the time the game is most buggy and least optimised (maybe also unbalanced too).

  Complaining it didn’t sell well enough on release is some real crybaby stuff as well.

  “It didn’t go exactly the best way I wanted it to go 😭😭”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kaiser Permanente frontline workers to vote on strike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I always get Kaiser Permanente mixed up with Chef Boyardee.

  I think it’s the “title followed by fun word” format that gets me.

  But yeah my point is that I thought this was a HORECA strike (those are desperately needed) but I’m happy to hear about medical workers striking too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly this is every car chase in every high profile movie.

  They somehow stay very clean and shiny the whole time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why? There is enough space on the parking lot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Solution: cover your hands with jelly and make a big scene of climbing over the cars to use the sidewalk, leaving jelly handprints everywhere.

  If confronted about the jelly prints, just say you were eating a really big donut.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Quiet quit is something else.

  But I know what you’re saying. For example twitter needed people to quit without being fired (due to how unemployment works in the US) and so it said no more WFH (without warning).

  I suspect a lot of other companies are doing the same thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did Christians get involved in politics in USA? I was watching young Turks clip on youtube. There was an exmuslim guy he said pat Robertson forced Christians into politics. So when was it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a great “Behind the Bastards” podcast that dives into it.

  It’s name is “how the rich ate Christianity”.

  If you’d prefer to read, they list all their sources in the episode notes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reasons Not to Be a Manager (2019)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Devs are sneering now?

  “Managers have it tough”. Gosh I wonder what job title the author has.

  A lot of these job suck, but shit rolls downhill.

  If the Dev’s job sucks, it’s inevitably because the manager is letting them down (overcommiting to projects, usually).

  If the manager’s job sucks, it’s because the manager above them sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the original was, but the top line is from a reposting of it, making fun of it.

  They just decided to not frame it in a way you can tell.

  But then this is the shitpost sub, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks like a “make me an article out of this press release article”. It’s noise-news. Clickbait pagefiller crap.

  Also for the average size of a garden in the UK (median), it’s probably less plastic than a month’s worth of groceries wastes.
