- Comment on Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer 4 days ago:
I am maybe in the minority around here. I am excited to play around with these games. Also, even though the narrator says you need to buy the accessory, I suspect the Labo thing or any of the cheap Switch VR headsets will do the trick, and that’s what I’m intending to use.

This is how you become a character in House of Leaves.
- Comment on They won the knowledge fight 2 weeks ago:
Good lord, they do look just like my husband and me. I’m going to use this and a photo of us to make a “they’re the same picture” meme.
- Comment on Good for plants 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the infrequent vibrations would contribute much to stem hardening. Granted, I’m not convinced the directly talking to plants thing contributes significantly to carbon monoxide harvesting. Just set up two USB powered fans that turn on and off every now and then. The gas you release as you sing My Humps from the kitchen will reach them.

Oh, no, this is the next big startup fad, isn’t it?
- Comment on Good for plants 3 weeks ago:
I thought the singing to plants thing was all about the directly breathing carbon dioxide onto them.
- Comment on Go on, keep them. 4 weeks ago:
My favourite take on this meme is “when your friend won’t lend you his copy of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji”. Sikh writs.

Who is Donald Trump on Jeffrey Epstein’s island, Alex.

Back in my day, PAC-Man ghosts stayed perfectly still, exhibiting no behaviour at all and that’s how we Lemmy people liked it!

Spotify fans?

Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.

Someone called out the name “Archie” and I turned around to see who wanted my attention. Call me whatever you want; it apparently doesn’t matter.

I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay. And I apparently own these things now. In solidarity with the goons! Freedom!

Ente Auth is cross platform.
- Comment on Privacy apps Signal, Brave, and AdGuard push back against Windows Recall 1 month ago:
AdGuard puts this nonsense at the bottom of their spam emails instead of an unsubscribe button. This is not account related; it is spam.
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 1 month ago:
Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 month ago:
Well, no, but is that really the bar? It is a pretty low bar no matter how you dress it up. Now leave me alone with my schaedeghenayegh.

Using an ad blocker makes me tech savvy? Oh, la, la. Hand me my monocle and glass of schardonayegh.

My weekend is not officially over but it functionally is. I have been talking with interesting people for a bit.

Yes, that one.
SKA?

I am going to wear a thrift store black shirt and buy a white shirt when I get there. Thank you, friendo.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 month ago:
Umbrellas are used in sunshine and are often called parasols. It’s not a bad form factor, it just seems to have practical limitations, like being foldable and still useful. Love the idea, though.
Japan is ready. Other places can be made ready. It isn’t hard to prepare people for bikes or whatever. Solar panels on everything are potentially a good idea. I only worry that my umbrellas do not last.

It is sort of my understanding that they were not really a band as much as they are a franchise. The music being second fiddle is fine with me. God, this is terrible. Still excited. Woo!

What have I done?
- Comment on I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going? 1 month ago:
Pretty sure it is GWAR and then I should probably put an exclamation point after it.
- Comment on I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going? 1 month ago:
Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.
“In this room, I keep my white t-shirt soaked in blood, cum, and feces. And over here is the veranda”.

My phone autocorrected it to all caps so I know I have stumbled on to a big deal.
