• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Holy shit I got Retro Achievements working on my Pi Gameboy! Lmao this is so cool. I get to achievement hunt in my favorite game, earthbound after 30 years. Amazing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone else in this comment thread claimed it needs internet access, hope you like that dongle life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to ask which squeenix protag this was, but your alt text answered that for me.

  Why do they all have a certain look to them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even better, the equivalent irl cultures. Most cities have groups advocating for better bike and pedestrian infrastructure and better public transit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Common British L⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Minnesota had deep fried ranch at the state fair last year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GIVE ME 4⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a local queer cafe/community center that has a (non-alcoholic) drink called programmer socks. The main component is an energy drink, because of course it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy needs AI.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some form of translation, ai or not, would be cool, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)

  There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.

  Didn’t Peace Corps get defunded?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop posting about Amon- I mean AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI AI AI AI

  (This is Lemmy, all y’all have definitely seen this, worth reposting anyway.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it still worth it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A former roommate of mine had a papillon that lived in the master bedroom with three cats when she wasn’t home, and she’d be gone for 8+ hours at a time… the dog learned to use the litter box from the cats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Release the fear⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only a very tiny bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I don’t think it’s paranoid to think the three letter agencies have this tech. Back in 2013 NSA could do it, seemingly through a virus. Now? It’s probably more trivial on certain phones. Apparently the “find my iPhone” feature works on the most recent generations of iPhones even when they’ve powered off, and some phones will ring a set alarm when when off (I’ll get back to you with an edit if my older smartphone has that feature).

  If you’re being specifically targeted by three letter agencies it might be a concern. Everyone else I don’t know.

  I do not have a Virtual Boy, much to my shame and embarrassment.

  Yes, but you do own the best console for playing Virtual Boy games, the 3DS. Red Viper is really good now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, I hate it when my cat steals my penis!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anymore? This is a pic of me last week! I’ve gotta quit leaving my packer out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really funny because Internet Archive has everything I had as a kid and more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (shout-out to OpenRCT!), Island of Dr Brain, Oregon Trail 3rd edition, Math Blaster, and a bunch of little educational games that nobody else has ever heard of from Ohio Distinctive Software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Although i love it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of people like anchovies, Cesar salad dressing has anchovies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pipeline⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This confuses me because BWW has cauliflower wings which is clearly the cuck soy boy choice. (It’s me, I’m the soy boy, but I usually go with the black bean burger.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1994 white Kevin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They usually get escorts, which actually isn’t the same thing as a hooker and not all of them actually do sex work. I have no idea why I know anything about that, but it was something I was just kinda aware of as a young adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims: Reuters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly that just sounds like a college humor skit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your comment made me finally get around to setting up Homecoming (hooray WINE!) and I just got to the character creation screen… I haven’t played since before it went to free to play what is all of this stuff? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll feel like I’ve come home once I’m running sewers, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beauty is still out there⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with your premise, but people were saying in the comments that unzipped building was either AI or photoshopped.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 5 o'clock somewhere⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s a mildly clever Bloody Mary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump fires Trump⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s clearly a typo for Sow Joan’s. He’s trading turnips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please choose one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If Ice Pick Lodge did this they’d have funding for Pathologic 4 in about two minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love to send the most absurd messages I can think of to steam scammers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there’s an XKCD where either the black hat guy or cueball do basically this, but shockingly I can’t find it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love the standard twist-erase, I bought a bunch of them in college and still use them. What’s different about the GT?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.
