Brave Little Hitachi Wand

I bought 32gb DDR5 four months ago at crazy prices, and those two sticks have done better than any stocks I’ve bought in the last year.

If she was being paid by rich people to prevent social reforms, it’s hard to know what exactly she’d be doing differently. Like, ever.

WSJ on that Immortan Joe shit

Elder Scrolls games have always been peopled entirely by uggos, and by Jiub it always will be.

That’s kinda fun

The utter bastardy of it all.

I would be stricken with grief if my reputation ever took a hit like that. I would resign and become a nomadic goat farmer. Or a bin man. Any job with heaps of shit, which is apparently my true calling.

TOS can’t protect a company from legal requirements, and I’m not clear on what the legal requirements are in terms of safeguarding and content moderation but my initial hunch is that they’re very lackluster. I hope that the suit will bring attention to this issue with legislative bodies, but I suspect that’s the most that can be realistically hoped for.

That’s exactly the hard thing about satire these days, someone who would call themselves that in earnest is not beyond belief.

Satire can be hard because people approach an Einsteinian ridicule limit at which point they become indistinguishable from the most blatant satire about them… But I have to take a stance on this one, he hangs a hat on it - “one of those morons”. Come on!

If that post was sincere, I will eat my hat.

They’d really love it if we could be dead and making money for them. They live in hope!

Haven’t spent much time on any RTS since… Gosh, I guess since C&C Generals. I tried to get into Total War: Warhammer but there’s just so much rigamarole with that one. I’ll definitely check out the demo, I’ve been waiting for a good reentry into this genre.

It does, I think! I’ve only played this series a little, and very distantly. Let me know if I’m close: So we’re talking about more than just satire but in a sense hyperbole, getting immersed in a setting with the vibes cranked up and slightly distorted. It’s a funhouse where all the mirrors are hilariously America-shaped, and the cartoon version of yourself it portrays becomes the satire.

Makes sense then that the more multiplayer experience of GTA V would have less time for the craft of that atmosphere, instead prioritising the delightfully crass verbs of GTA in the context of online gaming. Even a server dedicated to RP will tend to put a mirror up to the player, which probably detracts from the humour and vibe; self awareness takes you out of things, after all.

I wish I knew an intelligent hardcore fan of the series so they could articulate what they see in it. I doubt Noah Gervais is going to cover it anytime soon.

Always worth it

Is Lemmy not precisely that? I’m having a great time having this be my only bullshit.
