- Comment on Red Dead Redemption Coming to Netflix, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 2 days ago:
Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven’t heard anything negative, let alone so they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they’re going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn’t really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 3 days ago:
Here’s a little thought experiment: If someone offered you a magical pill that could keep you healthy and fit and you never had to work out again, would you take it?
If the answer is yes, then it’s because while you may like the results of working out; deep down you know the actual act of working out fucking sucks. If such a pill existed, you wouldn’t keep lifting weights or running on a treadmill just for the hell of it.
It’s fine to like the results of working out. Hell, I like the results. I like being healthy. I like not having heart problems. But I’m not going to fucking delude myself like a gullible idiot and say that what it takes to achieve those things is somehow enjoyable. Because it’s not. Working out is fucking awful. Just because it’s the only option doesn’t mean I have to pretend to like it.

Golly gee, you’re telling me that the reason I dislike the shitty activity that sucks and make me feel terrible is only because I’m forced to do the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible? You’re saying that if I trick my brain into thinking that the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible somehow isn’t shitty, doesn’t suck, and doesn’t make me feel terrible; I’ll somehow believe it? Sorry, my brain doesn’t work like that. It tends to reject blatant fucking lies, especially when they come from myself.

This is a fucking lie. I work out to keep my blood pressure down and I HATE it. Every fucking day I hate it. “IT wIlL feEL WeIrD NOT tO HiT tHe gYm-” fuck off. No it doesn’t. Every second I’m at the gym I wish I could be laying down relaxing. It also doesn’t get easier. Oh the workouts do, but the motivation to go? The awful post-workout routine of being exhausted and needing to shower but STILL having to do all the household chores. The desire to do ANYTHING else besides go to the gym. That does NOT get easier.
I’m so fucking tired of working out. If I didn’t have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week. There is no enjoyment from this activity. People talk about post-workout endorphins and I feel like they have to be bullshitting because I’ve never felt anything of the sort. Just a vague relief that it’s over… At least for that day.

We live in a clown world when people see things like that and immediately assume guys are putting their dicks on there, rather than someone just slapping a sticker on it as a joke.

Next year, Voyager I will have traveled 1 light day. It will also be over 49 years old at that time. Think about that for a moment. Almost 50 years to travel the time it takes light to travel in a single day. Our closest star is Proxima Centauri is 4.25 light years away. To reach Proxima Centauri, Voyager I would need to travel ~77,500 years. Voyager 1 is one of the fastest man-made objects in existence and it would take longer than the entire history of civilization to arrive.
Space is big.
- Comment on Maybe "CAESAR STABBED IN BACK BY BRUTUS AND CASSIUS" was just a metaphorical clickbait headline, and the actual event was a minor policy dispute instead of a literal assassination. 1 week ago:
He was also pro-slavery, but only for smart women. Many times, it was reported he owned women with facts and logic. Why he only wanted women with those qualities is unknown.

Yes, a fake/misleading post with either a topping that doesn’t exist, or guac that the customer themselves let sit for too long or microwaved is certainly the reason why the stock is collapsing.

- Comment on US | Pentagon Admits It Has No Idea Who’s on “Drug Boats” Being Bombed 2 weeks ago:
I hate this simplified take, it gives people the wrong idea. They aren’t trying to physically get Venezuela’s oil, just like they weren’t trying to physically get Iraq’s oil. In fact, the US would be pleased as a pig in shit if not a single drop of oil ever left those countries. What they are trying to do is start another war to control the price of oil.
The US produces plenty of it’s own oil and is a massive net exporter. They do not need any other country’s oil, except for oil with different weights (which no one ever talks about, and the general public is barely aware of the differences). But when other countries start selling oil for cheap, the US doesn’t like that because it weakens their place in the global market. THAT is the reason for these kinds of wars, the US wants to control the price of oil. Not necessarily the oil itself.
So while saying “it’s a war for oil” is technically true, it lacks a lot of context and makes people who only look at surface level facts think the US is on some “I drink your milkshake” kind of crusade for finding oil, when it’s really just about price control.

It’s not even a good joke because any engineer who was dumb enough to round pi to 3 would quickly find themselves out of a job. No engineer does this. They either use a pi function, or 3.14

Why would I buy this?
I can only think of one reason, because it’s the game your friends are playing.
You have two choices; buy the shitty game with the understanding that the game itself is not what matters but the time spent playing with your friends. Or, don’t buy the game and spend the next few weeks, or months, not playing with your friends and hope they grow bored of the game soon.

The Switch 2 has been wildly successful. I think Rockstar is gonna be just fine.
Remember, the opinions you read online on places like Lemmy do not match the opinions of the general public. This doesn’t just apply to games; on pretty much every topic Lemmy proves time, and time again, that people here don’t have the first god damn clue how the average person thinks.

Misinformation is fucking everywhere these days. And when you try to point out the truth, people get angry if it doesn’t match up with their feelings.

Saw a post where the owner was removing posts and comments because he didn’t like them, and when called out he basically said he didn’t care and would do what he wanted. I decided then that I didn’t want to be a part of whatever bubble he was creating for himself.

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 1 month ago:
Fun fact: try finding Satan anywhere in the old testament. You won’t.
What about the Book of Job? That was all done by a bet between God and Satan to make Job suffer. Like, I’m sure he was still an edited deity from another religion. But he’s straight up referred to as Satan, right there in the Old Testament, which seems to be the exact thing you’re claiming can’t be found.
