PS5 had Spider-Man 2.

For Xbox Series X there's Starfield.

For the generation as a whole, it was worth upgrading for Baldur's Gate 3.

I used to be able to send my girlfriend a T9 text just by feel, without taking my eyes off the road. Probably had a 95% accuracy rate, but "I like your bombs" still makes sense.

I hate that music nowadays is supposed to go through my phone. I'm on my phone constantly. It's ridiculous that I can't do that while listening to music. A dedicated music player is essential.

Although I eventually gave up on CDs and now I just use an old phone.

You don't consume one bean at a time though. The existence of a lazy or boring post doesn't ruin the good posts next to it. You can't scroll through the beans from the crappy batch to only eat the good ones.

Besides, that's still a solvable problem. I'm talking about a front-end solution, something that could be customized. Like a multi-reddit on reddit, but easily shareable like a starter pack on Bluesky. And if the multi-pack isn't to your liking, you just edit it for yourself.

I attempted to post an original comic on Lemmy to what is basically the only comic strip sub. It was probably the only comic that had been posted that week that wasn't on reddit first. It got removed for profanity. The profanity in question? "Balls".

I posted it to reddit after that, and it hit the front page of r/all. Not to toot my own horn, but that's some good fucking original content that the comic strip sub on Lemmy could have used.

While the fact that there might be 3+ communities on different instances all covering the same topic is a weak point,

I feel like there has to be a solution to that though. Some way to seamlessly consolidate subs for the front end.

what

Didn't Biden pardon everyone who was arrested for marijuana possession?

I actually had a nice interaction with a mod on that subreddit just yesterday. A comment of mine was being auto-hidden. He explained why, then offered to help. Not the usual petty tyrant mod I expected.

The mods here can also be equally ridiculous. That's just a problem with internet mods in general. It's a role that attracts petty tyrants.

Oh shit. Drawing a line is a really good idea.

I scrolled all the way to the bottom of these comments, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the comments that I'd see on reddit, the ones all the way at the bottom that show up every time George Floyd is mentioned, weren't there. I hadn't even thought about those comments until I got to the end.

So can someone explain this to me? Because I understand the explanation that the experiments were with transgenic mice, and obviously Trump is dumb enough to not know the difference, but then they've got this explanation on whitehousegov:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/yes-biden-spent-millions-on-transgender-animal-experiments/

I have to swallow down my vomit after reading an official government website use the phrase "fake news losers", but then it seems to be quoting actual studies and includes things like:

“A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses”

and

Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy on Breast Cancer Risk and Treatment Outcomes

Those sound like perfectly valid and worthwhile experiments to me, but they do technically involve mice being given gender-affirming hormones, or as an idiot would say, "transgender mice".

I just want to be accurate with my criticisms, and I'm not sure the transgenic = transgender explanation is enough.

lamenting

I believe you mean "lambasting".

So what's the damage here? I can't find anything about the targets. Is this why my Xbox is having server issues?

I always ask for it as thin as they can get without shredding it. It's possible I'm hated, but that's how I like my meat, and I can't do it myself.

A fake Christmas tree would be pretty confusing. Or even tree stands for a real tree. Even if you figure out it's for a tree, what purpose could that tree serve?

Statistician: "Nailed it!"

As a Millennial, I'm confused why you wouldn't use the correct White Ninja meme on the left.

Surprising New Primary Challenger

That's not that surprising. I was hoping it was like a golden retriever or something.
