Not really. I like fireworks. The only problem is, people firing them off in places where they would otherwise get penalized for. Like we’re not allowed to have fireworks/sparklers of any kind on the apartment premises. Yet that didn’t seem to stop a few idiots who fire them off thinking they’re living in homes and the cars that could get hit or be set on fire should things go wrong, exist.

I am interested in zero of these. Now granted, The Guardian is already on my nerves because of how devoid of actual intellectual writing for their articles are. There is obviously going to be way more games out there that are worth playing.

More games coming

“My PhD is hard for you, bby”

Teeth has got to be one of the most disrespected and undervalued parts of your body. Your body’s other bones can heal but then it’s like “fuck your teeth, I’m not doing shit about them”. And then we got health insurance companies who have the gall to not consider teeth an important part of your body that should be covered, got to get it separately and the costs are fundamental.

I mean, you smile with these things and they are key responsible for how you digest food, by chewing on it before swallowing. You can’t just swallow whole pieces of food without risk of choking on them at somepoint.

You can pretty much die from bad teeth, like rot and cavities. It is just a matter of when.

What this comic or meme isn’t showing:

Linux user spends every waking hour being a Torvalds Witness prophet, browbeating everyone and anyone into using Linux. While proclaiming about free choice

That is probably the plan and they’re only pretending to regret their decision.

Hint: It won’t ever be 100%

Any and all time I hear of this ‘game’, I can’t help but think that it is a scam. It is perhaps the most decorated and sugar-coated of scams to ever exist. Simply because they’re saying ‘yeah you can kindof play it’ and that alone, is their cover-all excuse. It wasn’t too long ago that they invested in some very expensive office and they proclaimed that they needed it to help further development or whatever bullshit reason they stated it was for.

But yeah they can just do whatever they want and fools will still throw down their money, even though they probably will almost never know where all of it will go to. I won’t be surprised if some of the money is making one guy rich. I wouldn’t be surprised if the money is used to funnel some political campaign. Something. We won’t ever know, but because this project is technically playable, they just throw up their arms being like “what? it’s still developing! we just need more time and money!”.

It is projects like Star Citizen, that has made me have an extremely soured perspective with early access projects. One other game that came to mind was 7 Days to Die, I remember getting that through Humble Monthly. At that time, the game was like 5 years in development and was still in the alpha stages.

It went through numerous changes, both unnecessary and unneeded while progressing. But the years kept piling up. I think it is now fully released but it still doesn’t look 100%. It just lacked what direction it really wanted to go and even then I thought that project was grifting people who bothered supporting it.

Man, it felt like maybe an entire generation ago since I felt I last needed discs for any level of pirating.

The last time I used one was just to get some linux distros to install when the USB flash method wasn’t working.

Repetitive posts would triple. Karma-farming would be prominent. Geopolitical slapfights between Americans and International users. No good moderator/admin coverage.

Nothing really good, I think.

Last game I pre-ordered was Pokemon Soul Silver.

Since then, no.

The American Government and those who lobby all the time for things to get their way. The only kind of history they like, is one they approve of. Any historical facts or things they disagree with, is white-washed and buried. The only things they bother to archive are what they think is dear to them and things that are mostly commonly known, nothing of interest.

Profit is the bottom line.

It’s quite sad, how many museums and archival efforts are allowed to die here. The video game industry, was happily allowing over 87% of games released in the past, to just rot and die off without a care. Pirates had to step in a preserve. The music industry, would only care so much about keeping things if they were successful artists. Just so much selective and arbitrary reasons to keep things.

Yeah but you’ve only presented one example. There’s others that are likely not operating like that. Soooo shrugs

I don’t bother asking them anything.

I’m immediately berating them because I know that they’ve chosen to do this, nobody has put a gun to their head and forced them to do this. They all could collectively stop at anytime and overrun their bosses, they just don’t. So right out of the gate, I’m calling them out for what I know they are. I haven’t gotten a lot of scam calls in quite a while, come to think of it.

And by which point, by 2032 when my Windows 10 stops updating completely (finally). May just be the time I finally go to Linux.

After focusing on backwards-compatibility for 40 years

Lack of, you mean.

Hold on, yes we do want every community to exist on lemmy and the fediverse.

If all that people see are memes, technology, games, asking questions, politics and news all of the time that’s available. They won’t help grow the fediverse. The purpose of the fediverse is to offer people platforms to get them off the shit-world that centralized social media has become.

So if we have nothing else to offer them but those things, of course the fediverse won’t grow.

If you’re on your own, you must know a level of self-repair and maintenance. Especially if you somehow become a home-owner, you’re going to need to know some things or you’re going to be spending an lot on specialists who could overcharge you.

You have to have some passions, everyone does. If you know what they are and wish to excel or make careers out of them, then go try college to do so.

I’ve made a playlist of an old show I used to have listened to when they’ve made new episodes. They haven’t made new episodes since 2012 to record.

Compiling a playlist, I’ve found that with every season they made combined, is a total of 8 days worth of recorded material. But I’ve listened to the show so much, it is white noise to me and sometimes I do catch something I haven’t heard before. It’s interesting.

I wanted to get into baking more a time ago, but my apartment management has RUB charges and my oven is operated by gas. so, it’s hard for me to know how much I’m paying when I’m not only paying for my usage, but I’m paying for the usage of others in the building because of the RUB system. I hate it so I haven’t used my oven in two and a half years straight.

That shit can clog your arteries. When I learned that, I stopped eating anything with Mayo in it, if only sparingly.

I’m going for the jugular vein of this question and say - burgers. They’re like a BBQ staple that many people feel can’t go without.

I am not much of a burger person.
