- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 day ago:
Thank you for finally providing the context for this image. I’ve seen it all over the place but I don’t game on PC so I wasn’t going to take the time to look it up.
- Comment on [TheGamer] Bethesda Composer Thinks Starfield Will Soon Be Seen Differently 5 days ago:
I agree. The game wasn’t bad or anything. There are some things that it did very well. Overall a worthwhile experience.
- Comment on Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing 6 days ago:
I’ve had my LG for like six years, no problem. I even connected it to the internet.
- Comment on An old excuse 1 week ago:
If we’re only looking at the bad things a country has done, committing actual genocide is worse than destabilizing governments and overthrowing dictators.
But you’re also ignoring the good things. The US has historically provided around one third of all humanitarian aid in the world. And while it may be the perfect example of democracy, it has used its power to keep much worse regimes in check.
Saying that America is “objectively THE main world villain” is just silly. Like, you think North Korea is morally superior? Seriously? Or Russia?

Provides the second least nuanced take ever.

Keanu was famous, but the way I remember it he wasn’t a huge box office draw yet.

Um… how many levels are we doing?

Week? My daughter rode bikes to her school in 30° and ride home in 73°. Choosing her outfits is very difficult this week.
- Comment on i unapologetically love male pits 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but what if I become famous for writing children’s books one day? Then I’ll feel like a dummy.
- Comment on i unapologetically love male pits 3 weeks ago:
It’s mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there’s an association there.
On the lucky occasion I’m with a woman who doesn’t shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It’s so rare and adorable.
Anyway it’s times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.

In the shower? One.
In the bed? At least a three.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
Sure, Sony “outlived” two minor competitors that were already failing when the PS1 released.
Much like how I outlived actor Carey Grant, who was 80 years old when I was born. That’s definitely how I’d phrase that.
But hey, those examples were “just to name a few”, so there must be more, right?
But seriously, the way your original comment was phrased makes it sound like Sony is some kind of console war juggernaut, outlasting its many competitors over decades. The reality is that Sega folded to Sony and Nintendo back in the early aughts, and then it was 25 stable years of having three big console makers, and that’s it.
That’s all I’m saying.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 3 weeks ago:
3DO and Atari were never really competitors. They were minor players in the console market that were already considered unsuccessful by the time the PS1 was released.
Sega is one company. Sony has outlasted one competitor, which makes it odd to say “yet another”.

Another?

It’s 2026, and you are literally eleven 're’s short of the current number of rereleases.

I remember bringing a Polaroid picture of my 10" television screen into my English class just to prove to my best friend that the Hylian loach existed.

Shitposts can be funny. These ones never are.
- Comment on SBA #29 4 weeks ago:
As of a month or two ago, any time I see a post that’s so thoroughly unfunny that it brings down the average quality of all Lemmy posts, I don’t even need to check the community. It’s always this one. Why is that? What happened here? It didn’t used to be like this.
- Comment on Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve. 5 weeks ago:
I think we just need to revise the laws to say that a cop’s testimony doesn’t have any more weight than anyone else’s testimony unless it’s backed up by their bodycam.
Taking cops at their word made sense when we didn’t have this technology. It doesn’t make sense anymore.
- Comment on Yet everyone swears they existed 5 weeks ago:
It’s been almost 25 years, and 9/11 jokes still aren’t funny.
- Comment on Tetris Variations 1 month ago:
Depends on how strict we’re being with “version of Tetris”. If we’re talking loosely about falling block puzzle games, then my favorite one is Attactics. It’s part of UFO50.
Instead of four-block clusters, Attactics uses individual blocks that represent different types of troops, each one with a unique ability. And instead of falling from the top of the screen towards the bottom, they move from the left of the screen towards the right. And instead of forming complete lines in order to score points, they clash against the enemy’s troops and attempt to make it to their fortress on the other side of the map.
Looking at Attactics on its own, it looks like a fast-paced simplified strategy game. But when you get your hands on the game, it becomes clear that it shares a lot in common with Tetris.
- Comment on US committee is reconsidering all vaccine recommendations 1 month ago:
My wife and I just had a baby on Friday. When we were asked about vaccines we made it clear where we stood and basically summed it up as: “we want him to have all the vaccines he’d have gotten three years ago.” The nurse seemed to appreciate that sentiment.
I just hope that hospitals choose to follow the science. Maybe they don’t need a government mandate. Obviously these changes aren’t helping anyone and are only harmful, but hopefully the harm isn’t as bad as it could be.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 1 month ago:
It seems like it should be unnecessary, like we already have ways of conveying this sentiment, so why have a button with such a narrow function?
But on the other hand, making it normal for people to admit their mistakes online? That would be a huge step forward. And if there’s a button there for it, it would get used.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Then why are they still paying me for it?
- Comment on You can checkout, but you can never checkin. You will only ever check in, or check-in 1 month ago:
Exactly. I also try only to do verbs, although occasionally I verb nouns.
Regardless, the counter you check out at is the checkout counter, while the counter you check in at is the check-in counter. So OP does still have a point.
- Comment on Caramelize me, baby 1 month ago:
Remember, it takes at least 45 minutes to caramelize an onion. Anything less and you’re just cooking it.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 month ago:
I’m usually too lazy when it comes to canceling things, but I canceled Game Pass right away. $30 per month is just offensive.

Tried that. During the last step it switches back to mobile mode and gives a 404 error.
