  • I’m always for shitting on TERFs, but I have no idea what this meme is about. Probably because I try my best to keep ‘anti-woke’ things out of my orb. Can someone please get me in on this joke that I desperately want to be a part of haha

  • I’d think that as well, except anything targeted at my number uses the wrong name when they include names. Sometimes male, and sometimes female; which is interesting as I’ve kept the same number for more than a couple decades.

    I’m not upset about being called ‘he’, but I would ask you to continue your use of ‘OP’ instead of it. While I’m not offended, the default assumption of someone being a guy only makes it harder for women’s voices to be heard.

  • I keep coming back to Skyrim VR. Great mod options that make it far more playable than base VR. That and Walkabout are the two VR games I’ve really sunk time into

  • Got 9 in one day. If they include a name it’s never mine

  • bbno$, Doja Cat, and Helen Mirren. All in my DMs

  • I thought the same when I was using 2% milk. Whole milk rocked my world. It still makes it soggy, but I just see it as a challenge.

  • I have an older Ryzen and had no problems with FD until recently. I’m not doubting your personal rig has issues likely tied to this faulty chip, it’s probably also being made worse by their servers.

  • Oh shit son! I used to work at DCA and while I enjoyed it the pay was abysmal. They argued for more, but that can only last for so long with inflation.

  • Fun fact! PG&E plead to 84 counts of manslaughter due to them wiping an entire city of the map and nothing really changed. I’m all for Boeing (and other companies) having oversight, but it just doesn’t seem like it does much.

  • I think it’s a combo of the two. I watch a lot of panel shows and the first thing that comes to mind is pandemic filming. It actually was a bit awkward at first not to have the studio laugh because it was traditionally filmed with a live audience. That’s still half an argument as certain shows will have cues for the audience.

    At the end of the day we are very social animals and appreciate feeling emotion together so if we find something funny/scary/exciting we get positive feedback when others around us (at least sound like) they feel the same. It’s the main reason a decent amount of people enjoy going to the movies.

    This will fall flat when laugh tracks are added over frequently; but when used properly (and with actually good jokes) they encourage the audience to fully engage.

    Imagine the embarrassment of being the only person to clap/laugh/scream at a performance; thats the intended buffer for ‘canned’ responses.

    Edit; when I started this comment there was only one response. What I cover was also brought up by other commenters, but I’m slow at typing while I’m sleepy (RIP)

  • Yeah, same with LAX. I find that TSA gets the most backed up when it’s families or infrequent fliers. When you fly for business you’ve got a system down and that helps the line move faster.

  • This is oversimplification to avoid an essay; Nationalism has been on the rise all over. With nationalism comes a loss of multi-nation agreements/positive sentiment (a la Brexit). Even without statements of pro-Putin ideology, it’s easy to see why Russia would want nationalists in power. I have family in Germany and am worried about AfD.

    TL;DR - they don’t even need to be pro-Putin to get his help (not to say that they aren’t)

  • I’ve only willingly listened to him talk a couple of times (YouTube shorts where his head is on a space Marine from 40k) and I get what you mean. One hopes that this can dissuade some of his more ‘moderate’ listeners, but I do worry about the unhinged majority.

  • I haven’t edited a wiki page, so maybe I’m missing something. Isn’t that an accurate statement? Until yesterday we didn’t know the verdict, and we still need the sentencing. Both of those absolutely should be added to the page once result are known. Hence why information would/will change.

    They’ve locked the article, and it still states the ‘criminal status’.

  • To put into context; Microsoft bought Activision/Blizzard for 69 Billion dollars. A huge portion of that was actually King.

    Around 2014, over 93 million people were playing Candy Crush Saga, while revenue over a three-month period as reported by King was over $493 million. Five years after its release on mobile, the Candy Crush Saga series has received over 2.7 billion downloads, and the game has been one of the highest-grossing and most-played mobile apps in that time frame. As of September 2023, it had reached over $20 billion in revenue.

    Safe to say mobile market makes a lot more money we’d be comfortable with.

    I shared my arcade membership with my mom a while ago (I had gotten it included) and it put her purchases on my card. This bio-chemist (very smart lady in some specific subjects) spent over $25 on ‘micro’ transactions in a week or so. They prey on the group that just want to get things done.

  • Wasn’t the new CEO just talking about how they were counting on PC players to go out and buy the console for sequels? I’m over here still waiting for Spider-Man 2, no intention of buying a console again.

  • B5; welcome aboard our five mile long rotating tin can. We'll over through our government, electrocute angels, and figure out who Jack the Ripper was. Also included in your stay is a quarantine that wipes out an entire species. Be sure to check out the zocalo for your fresh orange fix!

  • I requested a refund a few days ago with 2.1 hours played. Still don’t have it, so hopefully they’ll get around to it

    Edit - they denied me because I bought it over 2 weeks ago.
