Elementary, my dear Mr. Putin.
I think I blew up that KFC when I played Mercenaries on the Xbox…
I’ve tried frolicking. All those hairs get stuck in my teeth, though.
Forward compatibility? I get backward compatibility, but FORWARD compatibility?
Joke’s on you! Humans will be extinct by 2531. Maybe by 2031 if Trump becomes president again.
This dude gives me the same vibes as Mojo Jojo in that episode of The Powerpuff Girls, where he’s protected by a bunch of dumb hippies.
“Not so fast, Mojo Jojo!”
“Help, I’m being oppressed!”
“Not so fast, Powerpuff Girls!”
Isn’t Erdogan that thing Jason Blood turns into in DC comics?
Hardware wise, that’s been pretty much the case forever (example: Atari 5200 is a consolized Atari 400 computer), but it’s that simplified interface and the instant gratification that makes the distinction between the two. On a game system: insert game. Press start. Play game. On a computer? Tons and tons and tons of loading and file management and updates and passwords and downloads and accepting EULAs and Oh God now it’s crashed and I have to start the damn thing all over again.
Game consoles satisfy that urgent need for “ME GAME NOW.” At least, they used to. In the olden times, you could start a game in the time it takes for you to drop a quarter in the machine and press 1P. Now, it seems like game companies do everything within their power to delay that dopamine fix on consoles… which is uncomfortably close to the gaming experience on computers. “Another cut scene? Gee, great. It’s not like I started this video game to play a video game.”
Vaguely related: why the hell was it so hard for me to start Borderlands 3 on my Xbox? It’s like, dude, I don’t need your annoying third party service. This is still a game system, not a computer, right? Just… just let me press start and start the game without signing up for some other crap.
Is this like the Linux nerds’ version of the Crips and the Bloods?
Just admit you want to kill all Palestinians, Bibi the Big-Eared Butcher.
The biggest challenge of the interview was the translator trying to understand what Tucker Carlson was saying with his mouth full.
Self-hate is one hell of a drug.
Well, better DO something about it then!
He’ll have Nunavut!
God made herpes, and I don’t want that, either.
“If you only knew how tired I was of you calling me that!”
Sorry, been watching too much BTAS again.
Belarus! The country whose existence you only know about from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?!
I keep thinking of ditching Kbin for Lemmy, because Kbin is down more often than I’d like, and I presume Lemmy is healthier. However, I’ve gotten quite used to this place, and am not eager to start anew elsewhere.
