  Stellantis is a Dutch group. If we head to Michigan and get the CEO, they’ll just appoint a new one… Unless you’re suggesting the Americans invade the Netherlands…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I did play a bunch of BFV but I wouldn’t say I liked it more than 1942. My time spent on BFV was mostly mucking about with friends which was probably the ideal way to play that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  BF3 was certainly really good but maybe I can show my age by saying 1942 and Vietnam were at the very least the start of the plateau, if not the real peak.

  Plenty of dudes did both. A furry is the guy who designed pilots cooling systems for their suits…

  Because he made it for a fur suit first.

  That’s Postal 2 - I think an early day of the week like day 2. Having to go to the mall and wait in line.

  Twin Snakes was an MGS1 remake - MGS2 was never on the GC but Substance was it’s first console release on Xbox to my knowledge.

  I trust my family. Trust them enough that they have the passcode to my phone and can easily open it at any time.

  But I’m not sharing location. How will I sneak out to buy gifts if they get a notification when I leave work? Nope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Employers do NOT verify your total work history unless you're applying for a government position.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It also takes resources to onboard a new employee and you don’t want to spend that on someone who is gonna bounce in six months.

  I never thought I’d die side by side with an annoying orange.

  Basically, “Shut your dick hole,” correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From my reading of the article, that was a hypothetical. Not to say it hasn’t happened multiple times but I’m pretty sure that “may” was doing some heavy lifting.

  Hell yeah. Always good to hear.

  That said, I need a PSOne ODE. My stack of PS1s still run fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duolingo CEO on going AI-first: ‘I did not expect the blowback’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I said “I sent a video recording of this a month ago and received confirmation. Do you not have that?” and got back “I never got that.”

  “Alright, got it. Thankfully it’s not my problem anymore but you know where yours is.” and left it at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once had a broken headlight and also broke pockets, so I grabbed some packing tape and made a new one. I was at an AutoZone and the guy looked at my car, looked at me and said “that won’t last past the first storm” to which my response was “it’s held up for three months. I’ll take my chances.” and it held up until the seals on the transmission blew out after driving it across the country again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not going to find a weapons maker with an unproblematic background (part of the problem with sourcing arms for your SRA meetup) but IMI certainly has a bad one.

  They’ve also got a number of totally iconic weapons though. Separate the art from the artist and all that.

  Use stud finder /beep move it two inches /still beep/ move it further /still beep/ move it again /still beep/. “Stud finder must be broken” Get another stud finder /still beep but the whole section again/ “I need to know what’s behind this wall before I just bolt this TV to this fucking thing” /cut away the drywall/ “I better make this look like something stupid for fake Internet points…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steamdeck or....⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone with a primarily physical Switch library and more than 100 Switch games, the Switch cartridges aren’t even satisfying to put in and harder to store or display than consoles of old.

  Even the 3DS just feels easier and more substantial. So, despite the Deck’s lack of a cartridge slot, I don’t even think the Deck really loses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t need to be, as long as you disclose your bias.

  Reviews of VIM will inherently be biased by interest level in keyboard only navigation. No one can critically review anything entirely without bias unless we allow for reviewers to admit their biases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mazda false DMCA takedown notice Home Assistant App⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You jailbreak your 2032 Mazda CCX-900 (the smallest car they offer, a limousine) to use the EU firmware so you can utilize an open source app, suddenly the display changes to KM/H and the car demands you sing the French national anthem before it will start and all so your car doesn’t dial into to Mazda corporate to let them know you’re currently going to the store for beans and rice.

  They said 20 years ago. We literally had ‘use a paperclip to turn on the computer on the test bench’ as the standard practice. Designing things for people to do them wrong was very much not the style at the time.

  But the aliens were humans who came before/after you because humans made a thing that made them destroy the universe so everything is stuck in a time loop where humans have to… Stop other humans from fielding too many stars or else they figure out how to loop the star field again.

  No, it’s terrible. Your English is better than his. Just because there’s some sliver of sense doesn’t mean he even did it on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Commas can be used to identify parts of the sentence that can be cut out e.g. “… wisdom to cut your taxes in half … If Canada becomes the 51st state.”

  Now, here, the comma was used for a list so it shouldn’t have been used that way but I’m sure his meth head brain probably got lost partway or the AI bot that mimics his speech patterns is just that dumb.

  I think the only thing I remember about Reach is the last mission anyway but thanks for the heads up.

  John Halo and the Marines are Marines and not Soldiers. Though, I’m not certain Halo ever shows a non-Navy Servicemember in 1-4.
