Amazing. What's more burgerpunk than making AI images about burgerpunk game concept art?

Coming to buggy early access 2025 on EA games subscription app

Prompt:

!physical game cover for latest game called "burgerpunk" inspired by boring, mundane real world problems. Collage of run down strip malls, boring office spaces, high gas prices and sad people stuck in traffic. "Super boring, 10/10 - IGN" !<

That real "we have cyberpunk at home" aesthetic

Yeah sadly weed is really bad for your sleep, akin to alcohol.

When I stop smoking for a few weeks, my dreams become dramatically more vivid and my sleep quality is much better.

If you have a REM cycle, which you should have at least one every night, you are definitely dreaming.

REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement, and it's because you're looking around at things within your dreams. Unlike the rest of the body, the eyes are not typically affected by the natural process of sleep paralysis (the system your body uses to stay still so you're not constantly acting out your dreams in bed.)

Fascinatingly, the brain/sub-conscious naturally purges dream memories as soon as it deems them 'not-reality'. You can train your brain to rememember your dreams more if you write them down as soon as you wake up, this tells your sub-concious that those memories are actually worth remembering.

We know a ton about dreams, we just don't know why exactly sleep "recharges" the brain which I find fascinating.

This guy assumes people write off dreaming but when I was 17 I was utterly fascinated with the subject and researched lucid dreaming for many years, even teaching myself how to do it. That rabbit hole is absolutely wild.

If anyone is interested in the subject, check out the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge, or watch the film Waking Life.

I see your lame Black and Decker man sticking his barrel in a doorknob and raise you highly trained and OSHA compliant Makita squad watching from a distance

Have some peaky knots in your 2x4s? Then look no further than the heavy nailgun division:

Nice avatar, laughing man

If having more features in a phone for the same price makes me somehow niche, then I'm happy (and actually proud) to say I'd rather be in the "0.01%"

Apple's marketing is apparently so effective in the US and Europe that they have successfully managed to convince the majority of people that commonplace features aren't relevant anymore, when that's really not the case, it's just so they can further their exclusivity and planned obsolescence crusade. 📈💰

I'm using Sony's current flagship and I believe it still has all that, if not more

I feel you could say this about every american company that has been around for 40 plus years. Enshittification is a real bitch

Emu deck in a nutshell 😂

You definitely win 😂

The cat just wants a wee dram or a wee cat pint at the very least

He's back, and with a vengeance

Oh God what did you say

The Gosling Effect

Sony! They kept removable storage and headphone jacks, they just don't really advertise their Xperia phones in the US hence why nobody knows about them here.

They're just as advanced and high-end as their Samsung and Apple counterparts and I think they rock.
