I've spent 10 minutes looking for a basic/cheap, digital, non-smart watch, because I need a watch. I already hate the watch community, because everything I can find is like "Best cheap watches under $300/$1000"

Motherfucker, that's the opposite of cheap just to get wrist-mounted time keeping.

Google pledges roughly three hours of its annual profit to fight climate change Google and others are committing $100 million to combat climate change.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I don't hold my breath for that happening of course, and even then I wouldn't really want it.

The most charitable reading is that they're cutting native backwards compatibility, and planning to announce Windows 12 in a few years, as an OS that runs on both PCs and the next Xbox... meaning there'd be little distinction because it's just an Xbox branded PC with an Xbox overlay.

I am currently trying to hoard more TCG bulk for YGO, Pokemon, and Magic. Also maybe the FF TCG...

What’s the name of this organization?

We call it the Department of War

And the head of that department is?

The Secretary of War

And the workers in this organization?

Warfighters

And these people are fighting a war.

Oh no. My goodness no.

a tweet from the Nazi/Child Porn Website made by perennial douche bag hack Jesse Singal reads: "The level of misinformation spread by me about youth gender medicine, because I have a professional stake in it, is really pathetic."

There. I fixed it. (you're welcome!)

Like Singal before him, Ben Ryan's statements ride that line between "is an idiot" and "is engaging in idiot keyfabe to disingenuously make a point he knows is bullshit" and it's left as an exercise to the reader to figure out which he's engaging in at any minute (including, often, both at once).

And it's all coming from the people who complain that anyone with the 'woke mind virus' are the ones always trying to change history/language, in order to manipulate everyone.

more than anything, i am just exhausted with the constant attempts to rewrite reality

gambling odds are "projections"

speculative crypto tokens are "currencies"

LLM text generators are "AI"

video games are "the metaverse"

just a neverending assault on our ability to accurately describe reality

And yet so many of them are puritanical censorship-lovers who demand that everyone has sex through a hole in a sheet.

Just know... this is basically what W. Bush did, except Trump and the people he surrounds himself with are so incompetent that they're simply unconcerned with hiding it. The thoughtlessness... selfishness... YOLO small-dick-energy "alpha" attitude. It's all the same.

-- these games are now going to be dead with little-to-no chance for reappraisal later.

And you know that if they were reappraised later, they'd get much more favorable attention. This is exactly why I rail so hard against "That's not a good [insert franchise name here]" arguments. They're the same

Highguard, like Concord, is a weird one. Rejections of a business practice that crush a game in the process. Not entirely unjustified, but not really appropriate either.

Unlike older games that would be demolished for being 'another GTA clone', or 'another game with tacked on multiplayer', --

Woman sues Kenbridge, police after chief allegedly tipped off shooting suspect The town of Kenbridge and its police department are facing a lawsuit of more than $140 million.

A woman’s ex boyfriend, who is a cop, threatens to shoot her

Women are at the highest risk for being killed when they try to leave a relationship.

She calls 911 for help & the Police Chief WARNS the boyfriend instead.

Boyfriend opened fire on her car

We aren’t angry enough.

Ahh okay, that makes some sense for sure. I'm very curious if they'll continue with this path now, and with the dual perspective options. I'll always be partial to the survival horror, but as long as it's good this seems like a solid path for a while.

As someone who probably won't get to play it for a while, this sounds so interesting. It's like they said "Let's do Resident Evil 6 again." but actually accomplished it in a way that makes people happy instead of angry.

The anti-war candidate is doing more war in one year than potentially any president before him.

Conservative voters would be too extreme for parody.

Feckless.

People are dying and they still can only even vaguely gesture at breaches in decorum, as if there’s a proper way to bomb a school.

Glad Anthropic stood up against the regime for now!

But seeing so many politicians and media folk getting ahead of themselves claiming Anthropic as overall good and responsible is concerning 😭

They knowingly stole the works of almost every creative, to power their models per court documents.

At the start of January I only had 34.5m credits worth of cars to buy, remaining in GT7.

Despite nothing significant happening, I now only have 8.45m credits worth of cars to buy, playing just over an hour each week, no microtransactions, no grinding, no shenanigans at all.

Unfair economy my ass.

That and Nintendoland were two of the only games that have me looking back and thinking "Yeah, you can't really replicate what this offered on any other console."

Most everything else good was good in spite of or independent from the Wii U's quirks/gimmicks.

It was a classic case of Nintendo doing something weird for the sake of it (the gamepad), that gimmick getting a lot of initial support... and then nothing really using it from that point forward, except shovelware.

Fine as a console, really weak as anything beyond a slightly overclocked PS3/360.

Not too surprised that it turns out From didn't want a Bluepoint Bloodborne Remake, but I still don't get why a remaster/ performance patch/ port never happened.

Some people are like "of course From wasn't gonna let someone else do it", and I'm like... are we forgetting QLOC and Virtuos?

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

This though is also why I wasn't bothered by ones like Garbodor, Klefki, Vanillite, etc., while everyone else was up in arms about them.

When so many Pokemon were also designed like a Palkia or Solgaleo (or ugh... Blaziken... too many clothed humanoids), a boring object given life was preferable.

I'm okay with odd weird ones that don't seemingly have ANY origin in reality. But I've disliked how often those ones just end up looking like space god blobs, or shapes with dangerous looking features and stripes/spikes/clothing attached, as if they're designing an American 1950's car.
