- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 14 hours ago:
It was great the first couple years when people were just throwing piles of in game money around so everyone could play with all the flashy things. After they cinched up every money glitch and started pushing shark cards…online instantly lost any appeal. As you said, grinding for things in game is purposefully tedious and geared to make you spend more money.

As a lifelong 49ers fan I have a little extra hate for all the white maga chuds in their red hats.

My nest app tells me the same, while there’s a strip mall of 8 stores with neon bright signs that stay on 24/7 directly across from my apt balcony. I’d have a great view of the mountains in the AC but nah the fuckin tanning salon deserves that juice

- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 3 weeks ago:
Intel was lauded for this same thing in the early 2000s at the fab I worked at, since ultrapure water (literal H2O) was required to rinse the chip wafers the water going out was cleaner than going in.
I’m still not entirely sure why these data centers require such massive amounts of water when we’ve been running heat exchange loops in nuclear plants for decades.

It was the opposite in SLC, fireworks were going off all over for a good 5-6 hours. I surmised everyone was just lighting off all the stock they had since tariffs and drones are going to make them more expensive and dangerous than they’re worth.
Still got a pile of bottle rockets and Roman candles in the closet but lately I feel more like pointing them at masked white dudes than doing anything to celebrate America

In a “broken clock is right twice a day” type of thing, all the conspiracy theorists talking about how Jews secretly run the world have a bit of a point, although it’s specifically the Israeli govt/military and not Judaism as a whole. We, the most powerful military in human history, just hand them shit that goes bang for ethical (religious and lobbying) reasons and to actually hopefully bring about Armageddon. It’s disgusting

I’m having a similar experience with the PS5. Been playing since Gran Turismo on the PS1 and have it in the living room with multiple controllers. Thing is…like you said there’s no couch coop anymore, if 3 of us want to shoot zombies on the same map it just can’t but 2 player is there…with giant black bars on the sides to make it 4:3 on my 65” tv.
We’ve spent more time playing Balatro than COD the last few weeks, smaller cheaper games are simply a better deal right now with the price tag and all the mtx

The band they cut off also has great music and are all about giving the middle finger to the man

Irish too. The band they cut short just before this has songs that are quite catchy and the theme is ACAB
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 5 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s because half their raps are in Gaeilge or the BBC just didn’t check, but booking Kneecap and not expecting to hear something about governments and Palestine would be like booking NWA and cutting their mics if they played Fuck the Police.
Great job riling up the crowd for Vylan’s new chant there, genius move.

10 years on reddit but when they fucked over the Apollo dev I had no problem giving him a couple bucks for the app and moving to Lemmy, haven’t looked back.

More than triple the next largest game. All I want is the zombies mode and space to install other games, I could probably cull 80% of the COD suite and be just fine, but I have to carry the whole bag to reach in 🤷♂️
- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 2 months ago:
I had an Acura with the disc changer in the trunk, I imagine the moving parts right behind the firewall would not fare well for long in heat. You’re right though, the move to burning MP3 CDs felt like you had almost infinite space for all your bands

I haven’t played much since my curved monitor got broken but between Stellaris and Rimworld I don’t know if there’s enough time in a day for another build queue. I’ll check it out at some point and fall into the rabbit hole I’m sure.
