Yeah and even cable/satellite, paid services, are ad-riddled lol. Always kills me how the older generations criticize us for being financially irresponsible when they’re paying to watch a service that’s 20-25% ads

It was pretty big over here in the US, and still is with Gen X and older. Nowadays, pretty much the only reasons to get it are if you’re a sports fan or enjoy brainrot 24/7 news networks

I mean we have free over the air TV here in the states too, just don’t need a loicense for it

A TV Licence costs £174.50
Wtf is this in addition to paying for cable/satellite?
- Comment on Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, the term is often misapplied, but Balatro has the other key part of actually being a roguelike which is leveling up your build periodically from a randomly selected set of options. The bosses are also randomly selected. It very much is a roguelike

Zero issues on the mighty gecko distro. Not sure why’d you use anything else ^/s^

Battlebit is fantastic. The only reason it hasn’t taken off is because of gamerbros that can’t handle anything besides realistic graphics

Huge Zelda fan here, I’ve beaten every mainline game at least once. Wind Waker is by far my least favorite, so I don’t blame you

The simunitions course I took shot paint rounds. Makes it very obvious for the instructors to know if you got hit or not
- Comment on Anon plays the badguy 1 month ago:
I have a somewhat similar story.
I hid underneath a desk when it was my turn to play bad guy. It was one of those desks where the back wall doesn’t quite go all the way down and stops about 4 inches off the ground. I would shoot people’s feet when they walked by. It was hard to contain my laughter as people jumped up like they were scared of a rat running around.
It took 3 people walking through the room not knowing what was going on and thinking the room was clear before the 4th person actually stopped and looked behind the desk.

- Comment on 2 months ago:
The ORIGINAL source code is copyrighted, but decompiling does not give you the original source code. Decomp tools give you generic variable names like unsigned_int_4 and then it’s up to you to decipher what the purpose of the variable even is and give it a relevant name. So it’s virtually impossible you’ll get a character-for-character match to the original.
Also, decomps have different levels of accuracy. You may get something that is a perfect behavioral match, even though there’s differences in the instructions being run. You may get an instruction-perfect match but not a byte-perfect match between the binaries.
IANAL but this is what I’ve learned from following decomp projects on YouTube

- Comment on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons 2 months ago:
My attitude was: If I’m going to spend money on the digital deluxe edition of the game, I’m sure as hell going to get my money’s worth.
By admitting to the sunk cost fallacy, you’ve really only proven my point. You’re gonna find ways to defend the game more than you should, unconsciously or not.
I know it’s hard, but in this current era of live service games recording metrics beyond just purchased copies of the game, you should vote with your play time, regardless of how much you’ve already put into the game.

Tbh this is also the attitude of cod players who stuck around after the BO6 release. Warzone especially took a huge step backwards. 20 Hz server-side updates for a battle royale game is pretty sad

- Comment on The McRecession - Has Fast Food Cooked Itself? 3 months ago:
Fast food used to be cheap AND convenient. Now it’s just convenient. The fact that I can get a McDonalds meal from the drive thru for the same price as getting a pizza delivered… why would I leave my house
- Comment on Blizzard's Overwatch Team Just Unionized: 'What I Want To Protect Most Here Is The People' 3 months ago:
Yeah, the team has been in a good bargaining position because the higher-ups are seeing OW players switching to Marvel Rivals in droves and realizing that they need to start listening to people who actually know what they’re talking about. Props to the team for sensing this is a good time to gain some ground and unionize

The sitemap for their website is pretty cool
- Comment on Giga based China 4 months ago:
I’m guessing this is referring to Marvel Rivals… they definitely didn’t steal Marvel IP, so does OP think hero shooters are IP?? Hard to imagine someone being a Blizzard apologist in current year
- Comment on Anon watches a fishing video 4 months ago:
People always make up dumb shit about what’s on the deep web, when this is what’s really on there. Just stuff that’s mildly edgy and really wouldn’t be out of place on some clearnet sites like /b/.
And drugs. It’s actually mostly just drugs.

I once had a lady working the register at a gas station ask me if I was ok because I had red eyes and looked out of it while I was buying candy at 11pm
Bless her innocent heart, I don’t think she knew what a stoned person looked like

To use the compiled binaries, you must own the game
Was expecting a catch. Still good for modding I guess
- Comment on Anon investigates a random goth girl 5 months ago:
This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.

It does help you fall asleep, but yeah, say goodbye to dreams and REM sleep (aka sleep that actually makes you feel rested)
