Guess the BDSM folks with their Master/Slave relationships are included in Pride.

I wanted to answer “I’m boycotting your mother” but last night proved that to be false.
- Comment on Who did this 😂😂😂 1 day ago:
We actually had a C 128. But we always booted into C 64 mode because that had all the good games.
The only 128 game we had was some super complicated stealth bomber flight simulator. The manual was cool though.

We had multiple games on our floppies. All pirated and with miles of paper printouts showing which games were kn which floppy.
I think we had two legitimately bought games.
- Comment on Who did this 😂😂😂 1 day ago:
Huh, never ever seen that. We always used the rule "yoi can shutdown the computer when you can see the C:".
What does park do? Put the HDD arm into a parked position? Never needed that for ours, but we also had a blazingly fast 486 with a massive 250 MB hdd.

Yeah, it was trying to make a connection to some online service. No idea why. DRM sucks. I’m glad we got the GOG version now.

And they like entering the funny hostnames of their PCs to play via LAN.

I’m speaking of the predecessor. Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. That’s the second time now someone on Lemmy forgot it existed.
It was awesome. It had sprawling levels seldom seen nowadays. It really let you feel the scale of places. And in contrast to JO and JA the lightsaber would actually properly illuminate an area.

I’m reminded of Jedi Knight. You could easily die by running into a wall with force speed. It was glorious.

Weird constitution.
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 3 days ago:
I don’t have a Switch, but back with the Wii I got one despite being a big PC gamer because its games were so different from the PC, PS or Xbox games.
And the Switch 2 will probably sell as many consoles in the first week as the Deck did in its entire lifetime. They’re just not in the same league.
But the Switch 2 will very probably also not nearly sell as much as the Switch 1. But Nintendo probably already know that. The next generation will be the. interesting console. Who knows what they will come up with. Maybe they’ll manage to somehow make VR more accessible.
- Comment on This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast! 3 days ago:
I’m still waiting for prices to fall below 10 € per TB. Lost a 4 TB drive prematurely in the 2010s. I thought I could just wait a bit until 8 TB drives cost the same. You know, the same kind of price drops HDDs have always had about every 2 years or so. Then a flood or an earthquake or both happened and destroyed some factories and prices shot up and never recovered.

They’re called Seagate, not Landgate.

- Comment on I don't like the Linux clipboard situation 4 days ago:
And actually, if you count dragging and dropping, there are four clipboards.
- Comment on I don't like the Linux clipboard situation 4 days ago:
😁 You’re just too late to Wayland. That’s all. Wayland’s lack of primary selection support actually kept me away for years. I like having two clipboards. One with longer lived content and one for immediate use.
Though I’ve now been disabled for quite a while and don’t use a mouse anymore. So I can’t see if there are any bugs.
I recall reading some of the debates on how to specify the support in Wayland and I remember someone bringing up the possibility of having an unlimited number of clipboard and making it the compositor/clipboard manager’s responsibility of juggling that. No idea what became of that.
- Comment on [SPOILERS] Just finished The Last Of Us Part I, what an amazing game 4 days ago:
The TV show is superb as well. Proving that video game adaptations can be good if you just frickin’ follow the source material.
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 4 days ago:
Nice one!
Do Golgra next. I think she has so much health that it would take you a few hours.
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 4 days ago:
I love that all the no damage gamers switched to all damage runs with this game as “the hard thing”. Because everyone already knows that a hitless parry only run is possible. No need to prove it.
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 4 days ago:
Don’t fret. I think concentrating on the story quests first is the best way to keep the difficulty most engaging. You can keep playing after the end. The side content you can access after getting access to all areas is the hardest in the game. But if you do that first you can easily one shot anything, including the final boss.

Finally they released the Esquie plushy.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 5 days ago:
The trouble with hydrogen is that it is very hard to store. It’s a very small molecule that can easily slip through even the tiniest gaps. So you actually have to cool it down or put it under a lot of pressure. Usually the latter is favoured because it doesn’t require any energy to keep up. But it is more prone to breakage which can result in an explosion.
I think Norway ditched their hydrogen plans after a gas station exploded. Not in a Hindenburg way, “just” from the pressure.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. First time pay attention to the songs and I cried. This is the game that I cry over so many times. This is what I think about the game. Spoiler alert 5 days ago:
I was so proud when I could finally parry and beat Simon. Then his second phase wiped me and I noped right out of there.

In half a year we won’t see it anymore. So everything is fine.
- Comment on Fresh 1 week ago:
Toilets don’t get their air from the sewers. There’s actually an air hole at the top of the house to let air into the pipes so that they don’t produce negative pressure.
Learned that from a plumbing guy who told me that it’s actually a noob mistake diy guys often make to forget that hole.

There’s a mini game in Spider-Man where you have to match up absorption lines to identify chemicals. That’s relatively realistic.
