• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game of the day - Return of the Obra Dinner - did you enjoy it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t like it, myself. I played through to the end and found it incredibly tedious for what you got out of the story, which was basically just a tale about a macguffin in the ocean with sea monsters. The biggest complaint was how painful they made navigating the memory scenes. Every time you want to do anything, you first gotta backtrack all over the ship and you gotta wait through these intro and outro cutscenes and music, and it got old very fast for me. I also got tired of the entire gimmick about 25% in, as there is no variation to the puzzles in the game, they are all set up the same—try to identify people based on surroundings and descriptions, 60+ times. The art direction was really impressive at first, but quickly became dull to me around the time the gimmick started the wear thin.

  Tl;dr: it’s admittedly a very creative take on a mystery game, but unfortunately playing through to the end is tedious and lacks needed QoL features.

  They are laundering the creative works of humans. That’s it. The end. They are laundering machines for art. They should be treated as such.

  The paramount+ app doesn’t even know how to properly hide the pause icon after you hit resume ffs. It’s been months.

  I know this is the exact opposite of what you want in a sense, but with a little fiddling you can make the highest definitions of TVs look pretty crappy and old with fancy emulator settings. I had a friend with so many scan line and fuzzy plugins and crt color abberation and flicker fakers installed, i swear it was basically the same thing visually

  Well this disabled person thinks you’re a dumb asshole.

  Every single person I’ve ever seen hate on temu shops on amazon, too. It’s pretty ironic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can someone explain to me how you can just simply program something to bypass privacy and security features? What is the point of having these features if you can literally just program something to ignore them? Like…??? Temu is obviously bad if this is true, but if it IS true, it shouldn’t have been possible to begin with!!

  I am disabled and have limited income I don’t have control over increasing or decreasing. I use temu to save a lot of money on essential things that should be cheap but are still overpriced in America. Sponges. Rags. Soaps. Pens. Tools. Home improvement hardware. Plant grow supplies. Gifts for me nieces. The tagline, is just a tagline. Billionaires are not like me and scouring for cheap magic sponges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many people don’t even live by a store with anything other than over ripe bananas and Apples. People don’t all live in cities with Uber eats delivering organics from target. For MANY people, increasing their plant intake would mean literally starting a farm at home (quite the chore!), hour commutes, or relying on canned goods.

  I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, because I’m fortunate enough to have moved out of one of these produce black holes. But baby carrots, canned corn, and frozen broccoli really gets old when that’s all that’s there. Forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chuck Todd: The race to build a better internet — before it's too late⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy answer: kick companies the fuck off the Internet, make internet service a public utility, and provide tax supported services for the most important functions (payments, medical records, SEARCH, etc)

  Where will the tax money come from? Well nowhere, the Pentagon is too busy blowing it on wars and hiding aliens. This won’t happen because we don’t get things like this because companies are too busy innovating civilians into shitty lives.

  I can barely afford Perkins let alone a vegan restaurant.

  Having morals is not cheap. I feel for you having to see other people eat food they can afford, that must be really hard, but a lot of people literally DON’T have the luxury, calorie to dollar, to be vegan. And no, eating rice and beans every day is not an acceptable diet.

  Me too. I always thought of Nokia as genuine innovator’s delivery good products. Not fantastic products. But good products with CONSUMERS in mind and their usage habits, rather than designing phones around optimizing selling us things.

  The post I’m replying to was acting as if they had some new wisdom from being polyamorous and their perspective on marriage. But it sounds like they’re just using it as a business move which is something a lot of non polyamorous people do as well, and nothing new. I wasn’t asking what reasons could possibly exist to get married outside of romance or whatever you’re talking about, I was asking SPECIFICALLY THEM why they bothered, with their “unique” perspective on relationships. But it seems the only actual reason they have is taxes, despite their diatribe.

  None of those reasons require marriage, so it’s not a satisfying reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So then why did you get married at all? Fun?
