- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 3 days ago:
Dark Cloud was my PS2 launch game I bought. I have fond memories, but hated the weapon durability mechanic. I gotta replay it to find these characters you’re talking about.
I remember loving Dark Cloud 2 and taking pictures of absolutely anything and everything trying to find recipes for powerful items.
- Comment on Darfall, a fantasy city-builder with hero-based RPG gameplay and night monster attacks, released on Steam. 3 days ago:
This is a genre I’m starting to really enjoy. I loves Against The Storm. This looks somewhat similar. I’d love to check it out!
- Comment on Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now. 1 week ago:
Back then, stuff like this spread by word of mouth somehow very effectively. I’d have a friend over and they’d just pick up the second controller and laugh when I missed the shot.
There were a bunch of other things like the cheat code in Doom, the Contra code (although I think I saw that one in a magazine) putting the Warcraft 2 game disk into a CD player to get a secret audio track.
- Comment on Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned. 1 week ago:
Not if you imagine that the cursor is hovering above the screen, and each click is like a virtual instantaneous drop to the screen to make the click.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 1 week ago:
The encyclopedia even came on CD for a while. It was called Encarta. But I loved my parent’s World Book Encyclopedia much more.
- Comment on 'Starter homes' cost at least $1 million in over 200 U.S. cities, Zillow data finds 1 week ago:
Gotta work from home, but keep your mailing address somewhere expensive like Seattle. The pay is higher if you ‘live’ somewhere expensive for some reason. I guess you work better if you live somewhere expensive.
- Comment on I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server 2 weeks ago:
It’ll email your grandmother all if your porn!
- Comment on Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse 2 weeks ago:
Hey PP, good news! You don’t need to submit to a background check for a security clearance anymore!
- Comment on The XCOM Complete Humble Bundle is an awesome deal 2 weeks ago:
I love the voice acting in Xcom 2: WOTC. It’s like a Star Trek The Next Generation reunion.
- Comment on Study: Hopeful homebuyers need income of nearly $117,000 to afford typical home in U.S. 2 weeks ago:
The house will appreciate more than the mortgage interest. It’s debt, but not bad debt.
- Comment on If we are in a simulation, maybe yawning is an animation glitch. 3 weeks ago:
Many many animals yawn. Not just mammals but birds and reptiles. Even if we don’t understand fully why something happens, seeing it throughout the tree of life like that probably means there’s some reason for it.
- Comment on Temu and Shein to hike prices 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on Day 272 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Nice screenshots.
Love this game.
- Comment on The sound of Windows 95 about to disappoint you added to Library of Congress significant sound archive 4 weeks ago:
Probably, but I find user interfaces now don’t really have you go hunting through multiple dropdown menus, so it doesn’t hit the same.
- Comment on The sound of Windows 95 about to disappoint you added to Library of Congress significant sound archive 4 weeks ago:
I had one ‘Yeah’ from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.

- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 5 weeks ago:
Break up Ticketmaster!
- Comment on X88B88 is the word "voodoo" with a reflection. 1 month ago:
What girl?
- Comment on I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with. 1 month ago:
By how easily you’re offended, your day was probably going to be ruined anyway.
I kinda like it. The off-centered main line allows labels to be written easier.
- Comment on Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday? 2 months ago:
I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.
- Comment on Milestone: NASA achieved GPS signals on Moon 2 months ago:
Ah shit, I scheduled a dentist appointment for that day.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 2 months ago:
DuckDuckGo is pretty easy to switch to. You can go to settings and disable AI chat in it.
- Comment on Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos 2 months ago:
Why are you linking to a known Nazi website?
- Comment on Farmers reduce plastic waste in supermarkets with cardboard berry punnets 2 months ago:
It’s so disheartening seeing how much plastic comes home from the grocery store.
- Comment on Pope funeral 'is being rehearsed': Swiss Guard 'prepare for pontiff's death after the 88-year-old warned 'I may not survive' pneumonia 2 months ago:
He could be an antipope.
- Comment on Canada | Delta jet flips upside down on a snowy Toronto runway and all 80 aboard survive 2 months ago:
Just part of the boycott of America. The plane got the crappy runway with… no crosswind and dry conditions. Hrm.
- Comment on Far to many people think that Jesus from the Bible was light skinned, even though he grew up in what we call the Middle East. 2 months ago:
Yup. Born and die in a place where it wasn’t possible to believe because knowledge hadn’t spread yet? Believe it or not straight to hell.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] How is everyone doing with their home improvements? 2 months ago:
I replaced my faucets recently to something more modern. It was actually extremely east to do. The replacement kitchen faucet even had a mechanism for tightening it without going under the sink and trying to turn a wrench down there. Still had to go under the sink to connect the water lines and of course disconnect the old faucet.
- Comment on Best Buy Store 2 months ago:
I will: Never violate the trust of my clients or disrepsect their property. I will: Never say, “I don’t know.” Instead say, “I’ll find out.” I will: Always understand that my clients’ time is more valuable than my own. Sci-Fi conventions, car shows, and movie premieres be damned. I will: Assume every problem is my fault, unless proven otherwise.
Geek squad. We’ll steal your noods.

Papa Johns isn’t distancing themselves from their founder very well it seems.
Enterprise Rental Car is a surprise to me. I’ll boycot them now.
Dairy Queen… now that one hurts.
