  That’s wild, I was just thinking of a replay. Do you know about RetroAchevements? The achievements kind of give me goals which have helped me actually finish these games.

  Yup, and the deck can do stuff at an astounding low wattage, like 3W. Meanwhile there’s gpus that can run at like 400W-800W, like when people used to use two 1080s SLI. I always found it crazy when I saw a guy running a system burning as much electricity as a weak microwave just to play a game, lol. Kept his house warm, tho.

  It’s not that bad when it’s just you fucking around having it write fanfics instead of doing something more taxing, like playing an AAA video game or, idk, run a microwave or whatever it is normies do. Training a model is very taxing, but running them isn’t and the opportunity cost might even be net positive if you tend to use your gpu a lot.

  It becomes more of a problem when everyone is doing it when it’s not needed, like reading and writing emails. There’s no net positive, it’s a very large scale usage, and brains are a hell of a lot more efficient at it. This use case has gotta be one of the dumbest imaginable, all while making people legitimately dumber using it over time.

  Look, how I wish to honor Steve Buscemi is my own business.

  Yes, but can Doom be played via birdsong?

  Hey now, we don’t know if they’re taking out a substantial loan or selling his car to pay for this extremely expensive computer. Lol

  I mean, suicide was quite prominent in Groundhog Day, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The worst day to get Groundhog Day'd would be when you have an early flight in the morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh God, imagine having air sickness. Your first goal would be to learn to control it somehow. This is like a horror film, lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The worst day to get Groundhog Day'd would be when you have an early flight in the morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. If you’re aware of it you just miss your flight. Buuut, what would very much suck is being mid flight with at least 12 hours left to destination, and no in flight Wi-Fi to boot. Just you, the same in flight movies, and your fellow passengers for years of repeat flight experience.

  What would you even do? Learn every line from every movie in every language? Get to know everyone on the flight intimately?

  I think the feely people prefer the term “holistic.”

  What do you mean there’s no milk in my steak? I demand meat milk! lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft: Microtransactions make games more fun⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For a second I was worried this was an Unpopular Opinion post but then I realized no one has ever actually thought this ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I saw it today, probably yes, lol. I saw Gluten-Free on a package of strawberries recently, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t even tell what they meant by that panel, lol. My first thought was the “non-gmo” labeled sea salt I saw once that blew my mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they’re populated… by something. Roaches, probably.

  Right, but he could have done the funniest thing ever and just left those kids there.

  Oops, I failed and he killed another healthcare CEO. Oh well!

  Ugh duck autocorrect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SMS has a character limit, although most modern phones that still use SMS will at least give you a 3/3 thing and send all three texts at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*Now you're playing with power!*⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you do not mix AR and game genie but there is a distinct absence of anything Gameboy camera/printer attachment so it’s clearly incomplete. I’d also suggest the attachment reading lamp, but I think if that magnifying attachment comes with a light that works, too. Not sure if that particular one does, though.

  This sounds like something out of Rusty Lake to me, but needs more owls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mullvad's ads are good⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, people have post-reddit PTSD if they think you’re a shill. Maybe if/when Lemmy hits the mainstream but man, we’re so off the radar most marketers have no idea this place exists.

  It’s a waste of money unless you’re advertising something for Linux and/or communism… which would be a bit of a paradox, lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That just sounds like… what was it called… Cleverbot? Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like NFTs before them, tech bros trying to squeeze a technology into use cases that really don’t need it.

  LLMs are language models. What next, setup Stable Diffusion to do my taxes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cooking question⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, I do like that new electronics smell. Not sure if it pairs well with the mountain dew reduction, though.

  Not even just that, my stomach would make that weird gurgle sound and I’d be done for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People shit on the franchise because they did kind of rush production, but honestly they hold up if it’s what you’re into. It’s just kind of sad they can’t all be AC2 quality, that was probably the best of the lot in terms of storytelling, intriguing exploration, etc. I still remember climbing into that girl’s place in the opening as Ezio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For considerably less than the price of the Super Deluxe Edition of Boarderlands 4. I have almost all of Assassins Creed on one box.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly, 4 does have a few cities in addition to the nautical stuff. They aren’t big name cities, but Havana, Kingston and Nassau of that period. Kind of interesting, especially right when Pirates of the Caribbean was popular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, use of long dash is the same kind of tell as an image having 6 fingers. Not impossible to find in human interactions but generally very rare, especially in online conversation. (I’m not even sure if my phone can do a long dash, just these fellows: —).

  I used to contribute to Quora when I was in grad school, since I was actually learning a lot of the stuff people wondered about. Between lack of mods and their monetization schemes though, can’t do that anymore lol
