MMOs don't feel practical these days with so many games to play. Who has that much time to dedicate to one game?

I'm not sure if the game market has changed, or just my perspective of time. Probably both.

And you get to say "just like in the simulations" when you really do those things.

I'm glad you said this. I was really confused by the meme stock phase.

As a consumer, they never felt like a great company to deal with. They were just convenient being located nearby. Trade-ins always felt like cons.

God damn, Cruz will molest talking points into a sentence by any means necessary. It's like he rolls dice each morning to decide which random words he has to slap together.

Drag shows are literally banning gas stoves through an Antifa deep state Obamacare abortion.

I've heard that actual football action is about 11 minutes. And yet football broadcasts lasts hours.

You who are so wise in the ways of pig fiction: how does a wolf blow when it has no lips?

There's still an algorithm and "like" system in that scenario: clicks. The news providers generate more content based on what was clicked most.

Some sites are more objective in what they report on, but there's still going to be biases in what you're fed.

In that regard, I'm not sure how different subscribing to certain communities is from subscribing to certain news outlets.

If this was kickstarted 10 years ago, Smartwatches weren't nearly as prevalent back then.

Yeah the ceiling fan part was a pretty wild random addition. It's so farfetched to think anyone might prevent you from having a ceiling fan, but I'm willing to bet some angry Texan is yelling about it as we speak.

I felt that the protagonist in The Martian and Project Hail Mary were way too similar - both loveable science goofs making jokes while doing unreasonable math on napkins. But maybe that's the right formula to keep the science interesting for the reader.

The stories were different enough, but I couldn't shake the feeling that Mark Watney was on this new mission.

I still have to google search reddit when I'm looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy's not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.

If the wind gets even slightly playful, that mist is right in my face.

Yeah the entire article smells like gold plated HDMI cables from Monster, as if that somehow improves the quality of digital signals.

Sony has judiciously used gold across the internals of the NW-ZX707, including its solder and reflow solder elements, to further improve sound localization.

Gold has a higher resistivity than copper. Resistance adds noise. It's probably just for corrosion resistance.

Another reason audiophiles have come to appreciate the NW-ZX707 is something called the vinyl processor that lends the unmistakable character of vinyl discs back to their digital tracks.

So they further distort the sound to replicate lower quality equipment? They're definitely not making it sound more like the original by introducing vinyl artifacts.

This is some serious hobbyist pricing bait, but I can't judge since I've got my own dumb expensive hobbies.

Googling "dark star astronomy" comes up with plenty of info on it.
