• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood (Nearly perfect)

  The first 9 seasons of the Simpsons (great little 22 minute stories. Character depth is episode dependent, but some of the best episodes of anything television has ever offered.)

  Battlestar Galactica (Had some iffy plotlines along the way, but great character development and intriguing story)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They can just buy used shit and not play at 4k resolution with 120fps. That stuff will also last longer now.

  I just spent a few hundred to upgrade my gaming computer. I bought an old amd r5 5600x from 2020 for $150 and an old amd rx 6600 xt that came out 5 years ago.

  I’m more than happy to let the “ever more demanding giant game” trend disappear. Half the games I play use pixel art graphics anyhow. If this pushes devs to make smaller and more creative games that run on decade old systems to reach the most gamers, I’m fine with this, still. Less e waste. Less constant feeling of needing newer components. Less bloatware from shitty games that want 100+GB storage.

  Before prices get outrageous on 5+ year old components all these bullshit AI and data centers buying up everything will be dumping the current high end stuff out on the market to make way for newer stuff. And that’s IF the ai bubble doesn’t burst beforehand.

  I gotta argue against the games costing more compared to cola. A new Nintendo game in 1988 was $40 to $50. At that time hamburger was 99 cents, a value meal from a fast food place was $4, a house was $80,000, a new car was $10k to $18k, and you were pretty much a Middle class family if you made $45k\year. Some original NES games even hit $60 a piece.

  So videogames are one of the few things that haven’t kept with inflation. In no small part due to more people purchasing games and less physical overhead, but that doesn’t take away from my stance. 40 years later and a game price has gone up by like $20.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most apartment locks and such are made for the purchaser to be able to easily and quickly re-key. You set it to be rekeyed, put a cut key in, and then lock the key pattern for it in place. Takes like 5 minutes or less. That way every time someone moves out you can keep things secure without replacing the lock.

  In your case, the building manager was just a lazy fuck.

  It is common for lock makers of normal locks to do production runs of just like 50 different key sets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still alive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think is done during an autopsy? They take fingerprints and do the autopsy part. If no prints are able they’ll look into it further, like teeth x rays and matching bone breaks and whatnot.

  In Epsteins case, they took prints and matched them with when he was arrested in Florida in 2006.

  The prints could have been swapped in Florida or the prints swapped at the autopsy office before being checked with Florida’s prints.

  So yeah, while the whole thing is probably unlikely, the killing a lookalike, and smuggling him into the prison, and smuggling Epstein out, and murdering the lookalike part all sound harder than the part where fingerprints get swapped out.

  I didn’t expect that read to be kinda funny. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still alive?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fortnite account shows it was active like 2 months after his “death” but way before the files were released. Like 10 months before the files were released. Also there was a prison guard on 4chan (he got identified and was working at the prison) who claimed of an off the books transport van that showed up the evening before his death and it was kept out of the log books. Also that bit of footage the night of his death at the prison that showed just the tiniest bit of an orange jumpsuit going towards Epsteins cell. And all the cameras that just strategically managed to not be working.

  Any one thing is nothing. All of it together is something else.

  A cheap used one you lead Linux onto.

  FYI: “Too much salt” isn’t bad for you at all if you don’t have high blood pressure or you’re retaining too much water.

  That’s it. Nothing else bad. It’s also the safest thing to try if you have hypotension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just replaced the original (with mods to make it look nicer) last year. Hadn’t played it since like 1997 on PS. It was great nostalgia and still a great game, but obviously a bit dated in some QOL departments.

  It is, however, a complete game and the story line is still good. Especially if you go into it blind. The entire materia system to give your characters powers and perks is legendary.

  The OG game came out as an entire (and long) game. It’s complete. Major bonus. No bullshit having to buy a game like 3 times over a 15 year span just to get it all. Not to mention having to keep waiting for that 3rd game to release.

  If you like (or think you may like) old school turn based rpg’s, then give it a shot. You should like it. If you don’t like those, avoid it, and if you haven’t ever played one, it’s not a lot of money to risk.

  I do recommend getting some mods on it though. It can be made to look much better than it originally did during that awkward phase where they were making 3d games, but graphics weren’t good enough to warrant making them 3d.

  Johnny Cash was his own genre.

  Fucking same. I’m early millennial. Been absolutely loving Electric Callboy. Favorite Band to come out of the 15ish years. Also like Hanabie and some of the more recent Babymetal. I don’t need to know the words to like the music.

  English baked beans are trash. Barbecue Baked beans heated up out in a smoker with a bit of shredded pork or brisket in it are fantastic, and if you disagree with that, you and your bean mash can go burn in hell ;-p
