  AI and shitty cropping? Deepfry and make it look like a fully compressed 150x150 jpeg to make it 120% shittier-poster

  The right thing for meta to do is to implode and cause a complete crash on the stock exchange as it is erased from history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local “mom&pop” stores.

  Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seems to be considering paid membership option⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I filled the survey as well. It’s mostly focused on “games preservation”. I’m not up to pay subscription for anything they’re willing to offer and even made sure to tell them that I’m willing to pay a premium for whatever useful content (games) end up exclusive to subscribers

  I wish I had secrets worthy of being honey potted for. Best I get is 2 dudes on a motorcycle stealing my phone and threatening me to unlock it

  It’s not the boomers that are hoarding wealth and not spending it, it’s the top 0.1%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison slavery⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, what if only, I dunno, less than 10% of the world population is actually earning enough to not have to worry about cost of living, owning a home and caring for their families? No biggie!!

  I guess, but that wasn’t the kind of labor that made you wish for death, either yours or somebody else’s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Those old computer dungeon crawler games, like Wizardry or Might and Magic 1-2. Jesus, they’re absolute exercises in patience. You don’t even have to play anything very recent to see how poorly they aged, even SNES JRPGs of 1992-4 were much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison slavery⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, the way they got people to work was by enslaving them; then by “it’s not slavery, you just can’t leave without my permission” serfdom; then by forcing rural families to migrate to cities because mr landowner bought everything (or killed the owners), so that the factories could pay poverty level salaries; then, when workers got too riled up, by outsourcing work to wherever people were desperate enough to accept 10% of the pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure USA being a fucking evil empire since, at least, 1898, has played a significant hand in making its population stupid bricks, at least when it comes to foreign matters and, often, domestic ones that relate to welfare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top AI struggle to beat Pokémon game made for 5 year olds.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I only beat it at ~10yo because I knew how to read walkthroughs, which is what finally led me to enter Saffron. At no point I thought that one of the purchasable drinks from a vending machine could be used to “bribe” the guard on the entrance, I always thought it was some special item somewhere (which became the case in the FR/LG remakes) or some other event.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember that the dev of Legend of Grimrock added an option for movement with the mouse because a disabled gamer wanted to play. Maybe that second friend should check that and the 2nd game out.

  Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…

  Yeah, for PC they’ll probably have to grit their teeth and power through the discomfort. An alternative is getting a hand in some old emulated games. Anything from the NES era can be mapped to 4 movements + 4 buttons (start, select, A, B), which on a keyboard could be WASD + Q, E, R and F. Dunno how to set something similar on a Deck.

  What’s the problem with burgers done on an electric grill? Or was his grill specifically a piece of shit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People Are Using AI to Create Influencers With Down Syndrome Who Sell Nudes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Steal content, use AI to pretend the model has down syndrome, sell paid fanvue videos (because onlyfans is stricter with AI).

  Claim it, twist it, poison it, ruin it. Hate groups and vile scum always do that with things people used to care about or that used to be innocuous.
