Having grown up with offline consoles and not being much of a PC gamer until later in life, when I play multiplayer with people I don’t know, most often I get an ear full of children using racial slurs and people doing things like exiting a game if I’m beating them, or being shot immediately so people can loot my…

Yeah, It’s way more complicated than my little jokey comment, I’ll give you that. I’ve been disapointed by the WB-HBO merger, and I guess right now the fact that I wont’ get the final season of Westworld I’ve been waiting for since 2016, i’m sort of anti-“large companies buying large companies”. I probably need to…

This reminds me to something I saw about tiktok recently: “enshitification”. I would have thought it was just a funny joke word and not followed through to read about it, but then I saw it was in reference to a post made by something funny, but then I saw it was written by Cory Doctorow. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01…

This is a tragic story. My thoughts are with her friends and family. 

Microsoft doesn’t need any more studios. Play with the toys you already have before you look at other studios, Microsoft. You need to be grounded.

As someone that struggles with ADHD, sometimes even with the aid of medication, part of me really wants these. In college (back when I *could not* get a diagnosis) I would find a study carol in the library and even in complete silence with most distractions blocked I still had some trouble focusing on the pages. If I…

That was just a show. In real life, that asshole introduced her to the asshole she’s married to.

So Schrödinger’s Entitites, if you will.

You’d think the congressmen (mostly Republican) that rabidly insist that we can’t lower defense spending would also want to make sure we’re 1-uping the Chinese to everything in space. Maybe NASA needs more effective marketing material, or better congressional blackmail material.

Ah. That’s a good call too. I didn’t mean that I was saving the empty box to sell on ebay by itself. I just meant I was saving the system box so that when I sell the console on eBay I’d get a higher price for it.

Best response here so far. Very informative!

I loved my razor from the aughts. I wanted to see a pic of the numberpad dialing a number, because the number pad on the old flip phone was so iconic and looked like the future. I know it’s fake on screen buttons in an app, but if it doesn’t look like the razer dialpad that’s a deal breaker for me. (Also the stuff you…

Plus The Flash from the 1990 tv show, John Wesley Ship, played a version of the Flash on the CW show, besides playin the Gustin-Flash’s dad. I wish the movie had both of them, plus the other Flashes. Maximum Flashes.

Took ‘em long enough. Even if there hadn’t been a mistrial last year, why did this take 5-6 years?

If Facebook gets rid of its news feeds, it would probably help clear up a lot of misinformation, or at least clue people in that stuff on Facebook isn’t actually news.

This feels like Andy Jassy and/or a room full of senior managers want to feel like they have greater control over their employees. The only people I hear saying that “enagement is better” in person are the managers that never liked work from home in the first place. Or older workers that can’t adjust to the idea.

eBay

Wow. Who hurt you?

Jeez. How is this still a thing in 2023?
