Got nothing on the Yamhill Pub

I thought Trump moved on from that when it didn’t stick

Crazy I just thought of this movie today. “Was that a goat?”

I didn’t actually really care for it. Sorry

For judges, I mostly look for key backers. For example, teachers union shows support? I’m in. Moms for Liberty or anything with “Patriot”? Instant vote against. Or I read the voters pamphlet for dog whistles. If neither pan out, then I actually have to do research, ugh.

Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!

He’s also shit all over Grok

The track record is getting good, though. Fallout and Last of Us nailed it. Cyberpunk and Arcane were pretty awesome, too. Maybe they’ve figured out the formula

Are you more excited for the show or the game sequel?

But see, you forgot to spend a billion dollars marketing it. That was where you messed up.

Even funnier, I told my kids it was the most expensive video game and they said, “oh because of Chris Pratt?”

Apparently the ads all featured Chris Pratt.

Sorry to make this seem even worse, this isn’t even what you think it is. Not a Niantic gps game.

It’s literally like any other mobile board game. You hit the dice roll button and the piece bounces around the board and your cash goes up. That’s about it. It’s interactive because sometimes where you land takes money away from other players (those you have friended or randos)

There is nothing novel here.

source: my children forced me to play with them when it was super trendy. All of their friends (and their friends parents) were playing. So. Many. Popups. It was CONSTANTLY trying to get you to spend. We did not, but know people who poured money in to keep the dice rolling

edit: also thank you for this, I always like my kids to be aware of why they or their friends are doing something. They’re hyper aware of trends and marketing (but also don’t want to be left behind when their friends are doing something new).

In this case, someone would have to sue or otherwise intervene. But that action is radically unpopular. Nobody wants to be that guy.

I want to hard agree with Apple that people are, in fact, too stupid to choose their own apps, but not following Apple’s greedy logic.

Look at the top apps and sites people use. The tech billionaires. It’s stupid as hell

Nearly all of these systems are put on timers. So they stop cycling while you’re at work or over night. They’ll often make it a part of the smart home ecosystem as well, so you can override from a smart home device or phone

Also, he did not invent… or found… Whipped cream

Same. After years of replacing ink in the hp to do one print job, then letting it sit and dry out until it was time again. But now I’ve had that brother for a decade on the same toner

The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful

Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it

5, but echo that it needs some workshopping

The article really does spend a lot of time talking about how comfortable it is to hold.
