Oh so that’s why they left? I was so confused about that situation because either PBS never said why or I missed it. Nor did any discussions I read about it.
No wonder they want the fucking FBI on them.

Isn’t the redistricting going to happen no matter what? I haven’t read any news about Arnie’s involvement but if he’s supervising, that’s a good thing no?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
I’m a sucker for a good, immersive environment. I know it’s primarily meant for playing multiplayer, do people still play it?
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
Can you elaborate on why Generation Zero? I remember seeing a trailer for it randomly before it released and thought it looked great. Haven’t heard a peep about it from anyone though, so assumed it ended up being boring.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 4 weeks ago:
Only 3 choices makes it a tough one since there are many exceptional games…
If I had to erase every experience of all games, the ones I’d keep are (in no particular order): Cyberpunk 2077 Fallout: New Vegas Sunset Overdrive
- Comment on What to watch next after ST: Voyager? 4 weeks ago:
Except for the first time to learn the pain.
And the mirror universe intro should never be skipped.
- Comment on I am working on a turn-based wargame, influenced by the old Win3.x era WinWar 2 game 1 month ago:
Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. And nice thinking with using SVGs for scaling.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 months ago:
Ah. Makes sense. I caught a stream once and he pretty much just did discussions with the chat. A lot of his videos were just cuts from his streams when someone asked.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 months ago:
My condolences. I don’t even dislike the voice, his attitude just makes him so punchable. You think he’s some kind of expert at first but then it dawns on you that he’s just confidently stupid.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 months ago:
A comment? Am I misreading your comment or is this just ignorance of the situation? Because PirateSoftware made a whole ass video on the subject way back (the one allegedly rife with misinformation). I remember it on my feed when the campaign was getting traction, but didn’t watch it because my view of him was souring.
From what clips I’ve seen*, PirateSoftware misinterprets the majority of what he addressed. Either maliciously or unknowingly, which is why he was blamed for tanking momentum since that video did get a ton of views (before people wised up to him being a total cunt).
*Yes I know the irony of what I just said there after reading your last paragraph. I believe these terminally online streamers because I would not put it past PirateSoftware to be this awful after watching his videos for a small period and then the subsequent controversies coming out.
- Comment on A decentralised game hub? 2 months ago:
I believe Space Station 14 fits your criteria exactly if I’m interpreting it correctly. Space Station 13 would as well if not for the fact that player accounts must still be centralized to a server. That server is currently under a cyber attack, which really shows the importance of decentralization (in this instance, I’m not that big a fan of the concept).
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 2 months ago:
For me it was the original Modern Warfare 3. I played that campaign a lot as a kid, but didn’t have internet back then so no multiplayer and no one to discuss the game with. The story is dumbed down compared to the first two games but it was pure fun and cinematic, every mission was memorable to me.
Like I didn’t even know what the stock exchange was back then, I just thought it was awesome traveling through city ruins fighting invaders.
Also the survival mode was super fun too.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 3 months ago:
I don’t get why anyone goes to a Starbucks still. If I want aRtiSAn coffee I can still get it cheaper and probably far better quality.
My favorite indulgence is an iced coffee with bananas from Nordstrom (I’m still confused why they went into the coffee business but they are quite successful) and the large cup is still cheaper than what Starbucks offers. I haven’t set foot in one for a couple of years because 7$ for an iced mocha was revolting.
Their iced mocha coffee was all I drank but even the glass bottles they sold in stores I had to stop buying. It’s coffee, not gold!
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 5 months ago:
Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Because it is.

- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 5 months ago:
Always cool seeing Yoruba stuff in media. Just watched the new season of the Castlevania spin off and it features a few different pantheons; Aztec, Yoruba, Voodoo, Egyptian. Ogun was badass and loved him telling his story.
- Comment on Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays? 5 months ago:
I don’t use it often but lately it stopped being able to turn off my flashlight for no reason. Can only turn on. I wonder if it’s just to get people to use Gemini. It’s a shame because I found the normal assistant capable enough for my needs.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
I would definitely say so. Personally, I’d just not have one. Let them face the consequences of lack of sleep so they know how important it is. I think it’s weird that sleep schedules are never emphasized to teenagers. Probably a lot less sleep deprived teens if they were encouraged to get all the fun done before night hits and then easing into sleepy time.
But not having a set time could also backfire and they end up like I did with only sleeping like 4 hours but getting naps in whenever possible at school. Always surprises me how good the human body is at adapting.
- Comment on suggest me some games!! 6 months ago:
Space Station 13 will run on anything. The caveat is you’ll have to play an active role in creating the narrative.

- Comment on YouTube launches a $7.99 per month, ad-free Premium Lite subscription 6 months ago:
I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).
I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

I’d be pissed if the oldest I reached was 30. 100? Nah I’d be dandy.
- Comment on At least legalize all the drugs so I can numb my pain. 6 months ago:
I find it funny that a lot of cyberpunk settings have rampant (usually legal) drug use because employers want you to perform at any cost but real life is a boring dystopia that demands worker suffering.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Wow that’s awful.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Isn’t asthma medication pretty cheap and long lasting? From what little I know an inhaler can last many months. Also if they can’t afford that, surely they have state medical insurance to help with it? Just seems so scammy.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 6 months ago:
It’s cool you guys allow it. I find banning self-promotion is such a stupid rule for a games community. It’s cool seeing people make games, too!
- Comment on Is there really a difference between my understanding the phrase "go for a walk" and my dog understanding the phrase "go for a walk"? 6 months ago:
I think it’s more you as a person understand that the sentence is that, a sentence. You understand how the sentence is made, why it means what it means, not just what it means.
The dog only understands the what.
Doesn’t mean you still can’t help teach dogs to communicate. Even saw a segment recently on PBS about dogs learning to use buttons that produce words and using them to make short sentences to communicate with their owners.

Wild how this is a controversial comment when Lemmy is supposedly left leaning.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Never been homeless but I’d definitely take it over slavery. It has to be better than being a flesh robot.
Not only is freedom priceless (my opinion), but I’m sure as hell not enriching someone else to my own detriment.
