Inhuman communist savages the lot of them!
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 1 week ago:
I was talking to my SO about it recently and we both kinda agreed you’d probably have to update the core gameplay so it would be a little more interesting/engaging but overall B&W was fun. Hell, even Spore redone properly (aka not by fucking EA) I would love too. That one always makes me sad to think about, and we’ve not really had anything like it since.

I’m here once again to humbly submit the suggestions of Dungeon Keeper and Black and White. That is all.
- Comment on Why do we all have mayonnaise in our fridges instead of béarnaise sauce? 2 weeks ago:
Because they are afraid of the true power their superior flavour holds. It does last a really long time though, idk what people are on about.

It’s largely a non-issue in the Nordic countries as you basically have to voluntarily opt out of any government aid programs to be homeless, which understandably most don’t. This goes for most, if not all, vulnerable groups; and most of the help is decently robust, at least enough to keep you fed and in housing. So I don’t think it’s a very large portion of the consideration, almost everything is paid via mobile pay, checks (any, not just from working) are all done digitally as well.

Part of me feels like it ended up similar to the situation Ark is in now where the player base is split. I’ve honestly not heard anything much about CS2 recently which is curious. It was a shame it was such a let down on release after how much love CS got.

- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 6 months ago:
I have an older GPU (rx 470) and I play games that probably aren’t super new so my main concerns were mainly my tech literacy and fear of fucking something up xD

What was your experience switching over to Linux and getting it set up for gaming?

When I was growing up my teachers told me I had to learn good cursive because all of my collage papers would be hand written in it for context. So I know the feeling maybe lol. It’s really shocking how absolutely garbage kids are at writing now, at least where I am anyways.
- Comment on cactus 8 months ago:
noooooo lol that’s adults handwriting. Kids handwriting looks like drunken chicken scratch until they’re past 4-5th grade if they’re regularly encouraged to practice. The “neat” student handwriting I have seen is still marginally worse than this. The start/stop of the penmarks and overall uniformity is pretty telling imo.
- Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense 8 months ago:
When I first started learning my brain was desperately trying to make heads or tails of it and rationalize it somehow. And then I realized that was stupid, abandoned reason, and now I just utter these backwards ass numbers and we all nod and everyone is happy lol. Language is weird.

Didn’t she just sick her legal team on the random kid who was tracking her public flight record habits? I was under the impression it stemmed from that (highlighting her frivolous plane usage).

Seeing this episode when it came out vs in 2023 really hit different. It never dawned on me how finely honed their comedy was that season.

What witchcraft is this? Did it cost more to install? Was it custom ordered? Plz explain.
- Comment on Americans are asleep, post European windows 9 months ago:
Imagine not having screens on the windows and letting every single bug in the nearby area take up residence inside and being okay with it cuz “it’s only a few months out of the year”.
🤢 it’s the fucking worst.

This, but with whatever group of people you’ve banded together with to actually afford a place to live.

C. C I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I don’t watch those movies and the one I’m thinking about was from (iirc) an asian mall CCTV recording or something to that effect.
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 10 months ago:
It seems nice and scratches the itch to be approximately social, but suffering through seeing the same 5 articles posted nearly back to back by bots is deeply annoying. And the lack of content when sorting by 6hrs means I inevitably have to spam block the weird porn/fetish stuff that decides to crop up in-between lol.
- Comment on Pray for their safety 10 months ago:
Well no, chainsaw is an exaggeration, I think it’s more of an extruder or meat grinder when one gets caught in it. Thaaaaat one is nsfl and will forever remain a blue link 😬
- Comment on Pray for their safety 10 months ago:
You could probs google it and find it pretty readily, something like ‘escalator failure reddit’ or that. It’s like mall footage of an escalator that has motor failure or something and because it’s… well really heavy it basically it snaps at some point and just rips down with people just falling into the pit where the inner parts stay underneath.
- Comment on Pray for their safety 10 months ago:
Or a temporary chainsaw from hell. That one clip of the one absolutely shitting the bed will haunt me.

Mm they didn’t really spin it though? It’s a flat increase to 20$ with tenure tacked on, which is case by case. The person you replied to directly quoted from the article.
