Today I learned caffeine has a similar effect on spiders to what alcohol has on humans. That spider is drunk.

This is what I didn’t understand. Thank you for explaining.
- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 1 week ago:
Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011
Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.
- Comment on Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All Back 2 weeks ago:
Takes it all back because A. There was no review bombing, people who left mixed reviews had reasonable a valid complaints, and B. He reverses course as soon as people started pointing out how he was protesting quite a lot about exactly nobody calling him a Nazi.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Either you haven’t read into what Nintendo is doing and kept up with what’s been going on in the court case, (and perhaps meant to put a /s at the end of your first comment), or you’re blaming Pal world for something Nintendo did because they are big mad that anyone would dare make a game even remotely similar to theirs. I don’t care if you’re defending Nintendo or not.
NINTENDO LITERALLY APPLIED FOR PATENTS FOR GAME MECHANICS used in Palworld after the game was already released to the public. They invented a reason to sue. They directly manufactured it. Your inability to communicate your thoughts on the matter is not my problem.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
So, Nintendo can file parents after years of not filing them just to fuck with an Indie company after that company put out a product with game mechanics that “infringe said parents”, but not to go after other large gaming companies like Microsoft that also infringe those same patents. Interesting take.

Ah. That no upvote rule. I’ve heard tell the corporate overlords don’t like Luigi.

- Comment on Can't believe we have to say this but, don't use your work email for adult content 3 weeks ago:
At one point the IT department where I work were asking questions about why I tether my phone to my work laptop when I’m out of the office (working from home). I told them very specifically that I would not connect any device I didn’t have administrator control over to my home network. They didn’t ask anymore questions after that. I have a work phone and work laptop for work things. I use both only for work things. I have two personal computers, and two personal phones (one for messing with roms). I don’t need their hardware for anything in my personal life. Nope. Not even a Google search.
They also asked me if I wanted my personal phone logged into the wifi and I gave them serious side eye before saying no thanks.
- Comment on This Lemmy user's threats are mildly infuriating 3 weeks ago:
No. They can’t sue you for asserting that you libel’d them because you are not causing harm to their reputation. You can make assertions about anybody on the internet, but they have to prove they were harmed reputation ally by what you said and they would lose because they don’t have a reputation attached to who they actually are in real life associated with their Lemmy account. They’re full of shit and this is an attempt to strong arm you.
Report them and block them and be prepared to block and report any new account a harassing you until they get themselves an IP ban.

I also do this. I was having CCleaner clear all temp files as well when I close a browser but I set up windows to just delete them so that’s no longer a problem.

- Comment on Google used AI to suspend over 39M ad accounts suspected of fraud 1 month ago:
Oh the third hand, Google fomented the scam ads that then took over that they are now using their AI tool to solve, and it’s come very late to the table to do so. They shouldn’t have to rely on AI to clean up their mess. They should have been facilitating protocols to vet ads long before now. At best the AI might be faster, but those results will still more than likely need to be checked by people (at the very least, appeals will be, but perhaps most of these scam ad companies won’t try to appeal).
With the use of AI to deny or approve healthcare insurance claims etc, this is exactly why we should be pushing for legislation that regulates AI. There’s too many people who are all “cats out of the bag” and not enough people going, we should be regulating this.
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 1 month ago:
It’s a bad time for an increase economically. But when you realize that we have been paying $60 USD for games since at least the 90’s and $60 in 90’s money is something like $150 in 2025 money, you realize just how good we’ve had it for a long time. And then take into account that games have become more and more expensive to make (yeah yeah I understand that a lot of the cost is down to a lot of non-game development relevant jobs), you don’t start to wonder why they didn’t increase prices before?
- Comment on Why Are Gamers UPSET With The Switch 2?! - The Act Man 1 month ago:
Some of them are just fine with the switch 2 hardware and even understand that game prices have been stagnant for some time. But Nintendo has been constantly showing us they aren’t a company we want to continue to support and if you couple that with affordability you’re gonna have a bad time.
They’re charging $90 for a game that plays better on non-oem hardware than it did on it’s original intended hardware, a game a lot of fans have already bought (who would still need to pay an additional $10 fee just to get the game running the way it probably should have run from the start).
I mean this in the best possible way, but Nintendo fans are avid collectors and they want this, but Nintendo dissuades them in multiple ways from showing support.

The sarcasm lost on you, or?
- Comment on Tech tariff exemptions are only temporary, according to Trump’s commerce secretary 1 month ago:
So, did the market tumble again after he said this nonsense?
- Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 1 month ago:
Waiting to see if the prices still go up, because between this and the fact that windows 10 support is ending in October, I’m sure these companies are still going to try to gouge people.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 month ago:
That sucks since it has analog triggers and a lot of people I watch were hoping it could be used for certain shooters.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 month ago:
I will say that in the latest pair of Joycons I didn’t even wait. I just swapped them for hall effect ones from ifixit. Well worth it in my opinion.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 month ago:
Nope. I’ve sent several pairs of Joycons (at least 4 sets) to be repaired by Nintendo absolutely free of charge. Never had an issue though I remember the process being a little convoluted.

The cafe has bins. OP amended the post admitting that they do. The bins are inside, but either way, they do exist.
