  Great game.

  Did this exist before or after worms?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m my country they made it illegal to market fast food directly to kids. It may not be a choice, it may be regulatory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This speaks for itself⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the skeuomorphism here? Because I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tetrapods⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s get. Together. Katamari on the funk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea. I’m sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  After his own offer to rescue the children was turned down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the site⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad story.

  That’s enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.

  For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sri Lanka goes bananas after monkey unplugs nation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s heaps of mods for classic games to turn them into co-op, including Doom (3), half life, quake, aliens vs predator, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian bosses on notice as 'deliberate' wage theft becomes a crime⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That happened at my workplace. The ATO was notified, and after a lengthy investigation each staff member were repaid tens of thousands of dollars, including the extra that would have been generated through super growth.

  The ATO does not muck around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parliament delivers a performance piece of legislative 'enshittification' that raises more questions than answers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure it will simply result in a yes/no dialogue box asking “are you over 16?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky hits 20 million users⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought it was a great idea for official statements. Kind of like a new type of RSS feed.

  Local transport companies can advertise delays, meteorology organisations can advertise natural disasters, police can post active missing person alerts, etc.

  But it seems like it is just vapid narcissists thinking other people give a shit about their random thoughts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bunnings told to destroy 'faceprint' data after landmark ruling on facial recognition use⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So what do you think they are doing with the data?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you start with the second one you won’t know what’s going on and feel like you’ve missed a bunch of important story.

  This is how it felt after playing the first one as well. Half Life 2 is almost an unrelated game. The plots of the two barely line up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nighttime pollinator gang rise up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hang on, what is bad about the word moist? Some of my favourite things are moist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nighttime pollinator gang rise up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What do mean regarding terrible names? “Moth” isn’t inherently a bad name; any negative connotations of the word come from the creature itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brazilian Wandering Spider⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The good news is you get a four hour erection.
  The bad news is that you die within two hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starlink dishes found on Russian military drones after being shot down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would private ones need to be registered?

  Mobile GPS is artificially disabled above a certain ground speed to prevent them being used as bootleg missile guidance systems.

  Just put a speed limit on Starlink dishes, and then if you want to permit one side to use them simply whitelist those MACs. Perhaps the real reason is that a private company doesn’t want to be seen as choosing sides or maybe there are implications for international rules of war.
