• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The beginning of Link to the Past, with the rain, thunder and lightning. LttP took it to another level coming from NES games and even most PC games at the time, setting a mood and atmosphere I had never experienced in gaming before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how did "step" porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you can just mute it and it becomes regular porn, so it does double duty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just seeing a turn signal on a Mercedes or BMW is enough for me to assume the driver isn’t the one in control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IBM releases first-ever 1,000-qubit quantum chip⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks more like Darth Vader’s water heater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it the kind of discomfort one feels when they need to use a bathroom but there is only one for a 10,000 person event? Or the kind of discomfort one feels when it’s a record heat wave but a bottle of water is $20 and despite advertising free water stations, there are none? Oh or maybe the discomfort in paying mystery fees that equal the price of the ticket?

  Or maybe the kind of discomfort that only an illegitimate business model about to be exposed would evoke?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok says it’s not the algorithm, teens are just pro-Palestine — The company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m convinced this whole tiktok is manipulating the algorithm thing is actually US propaganda.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose wisely!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  2 and 7, obviously. Good luck anyone carrying an empty box within my vicinity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow OP it’s like we had the same childhood. That opening sequence and the early parts of LTTP are seared into my memory. +1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half a billion cheap electrical items go to UK landfills in a year, research finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that vape companies seem to make their disposable offerings the only ones with the ‘good’ experience, while their reusable items are objectively inferior is a crime against environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Decided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven’t played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you’re an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if it turned out there was a sentient AI capable of running the world would you accept it or rebell against it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as there is some ‘I’ in it, it’s better than what we have now.
