But now I have nostalgia for MySpace lol
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 3 weeks ago:
Ah maybe I blocked them a long time ago because I haven’t seen it. What’s not to like about Linux?? I don’t even use Linux but I find the memes and posts funny.

Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit

Thanks for making the best instance on Lemmy! A little downtime is all good
- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 4 weeks ago:
Speaking for myself but in 1995 or whatever I didn’t even know what the term rendered was. Game looked cool but I liked Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon for state of the art graphics lol
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 1 month ago:
If jimmy carter sold his peanut farm so there wouldn’t be any self interest optics while he was president, these congressmen can wait it out until they are no longer serving the public interest
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 1 month ago:
I’m a democrat and get tired of this woman prancing around doing whatever the fuck she wants. Why can congress, or close family, even be allowed to own stock? Of course this bullshit will keep happening and nothing will be done about it.

This absolutely happens in real life. Guy I worked with was at a large telecom company that liquidated in the 2000s. Dude was high up and had a beach house… you know, rich people stuff.
After the 2000s recession he had major trouble getting hired because he earned too much before and potential employers would think he would leave if they gave him a lower offer.
He ended up working for me building hydroponic farms for about a year making shit pay.

Unrelated but is the Verge even a good or trustworthy source for tech news? Maybe I’m still jaded by their build a PC tutorial
- Comment on Doom and Doom II get a ‘definitive’ re-release that’s packed with upgrades 3 months ago:
How is a free update now somehow a money grab? This is definitely not a step backwards. They even made a new episode.

Is this sub “real” conservative, or Trump-brand conservative?
- Comment on Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan 4 months ago:
Kids and spouse can still access everything since they are on my Apple family thing. I hear what you’re saying though.
- Comment on Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan 4 months ago:
Okay that makes sense. I have around 1,000 movies on iTunes so not sure if I’d have all the space for the dvds and would take a pretty long time to rip
Guess we are all lucky that we have options these days
- Comment on Netflix Starts Booting Subscribers Off Cheapest Basic Ads-Free Plan 4 months ago:
Would it just be easier to use something like iTunes for movies/shows?

- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
I’m 41 now, so I was around for all that stuff. I must admit, I love those old ’90s and early ’00s games like Duke Nukem. I was also going through puberty at the time, so there’s that nostalgic factor.
I don’t think those days are ever coming back, and I’m okay with that. I enjoyed those games at the time, but I can now see how others may have found them offensive—something I never really considered back then. Many of those ads and games were a product of their time, reflecting the MTV era, which, as we know, eventually gave way to reality TV, for better or worse.
These days, it seems like we’ve evolved in some ways but regressed in others, with thousands of porn games on Steam, which is definitely not my thing. I appreciate that the industry has matured and is now more inclusive and diverse. While there’s still room for improvement, I’m glad to see that gaming can offer more sophisticated and varied content that appeals to a broader audience.
- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
Maybe not but it’s certainly more entertaining. This ad doesn’t make me want a PlayStation, it makes me want to go out and party
- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
That’s why I responded to you and not her 😅
- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
There’s nothing wrong with sex appeal. Removing sex appeal, drugs, whatever else is how you get boring corpo bullshit ads instead of edgy corpo bullshit ads.

What is this author for XKCD’s background? He seems to know a lot about a lot of complex subjects. I’m always impressed.
- Comment on Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release 6 months ago:
Think you just described colony builders quite accurately. Loved the idea of an ant farm when I was a kid until I put the small ones in instead of the big ones

- Comment on All of the 90s cats are dead. 8 months ago:
Sorry to hear that. My dog did the same thing. It was just staring off in the distance letting out moans and lots of heavy breathing for a few hours. It was absolutely soul crushing. I just sat there with my buddy in my lap.

Thank you for the update. Thankfully haven’t noticed much spam except when getting towards the bottom of a deathscroll.
Hope you find some good mods!
