  • If you have a BluRay player most will read BluRay content burned to a DVD (a.k.a. BD5), and others will do AVCHD (a related but more simple format). You'll be much more limited in terms of space obviously, but you can still put video on there at far better than DVD quality.

    Also if you're like me and have a rotating set of games you install and uninstall, you can copy installation backups to a series of DVDs. Steam even has a built-in option to break installation backup files into 4.3 gig files specifically for burning to DVD.

  • My cheese hound brother @KickMeElmo probably has something to say to this

  • They'd just need to check for him at the base of any gradual incline without a handrail.

  • Don't lie, you'll eat that spackle and enjoy every minute of it.

  • The lemmy.world admins blocked a bunch of piracy communities from federating with their instance seemingly out of nowhere: no legal threats, no DMCA notices, no apparent consequences if they don't.

  • I was already considering switching over to kbin fully just because they're set up to interact with both Lemmy instances and Mastodon. Unfortunately the Mastodon side still feels a bit janky, but I'm hoping that'll change as time goes on.

    Definitely not going to stay with an instance that pre-emptively bends over for corporate interests. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm shifting away from Reddit in the first place.

  • I think lemmy.world is about to be rudely made aware of how many pirates were on their site.

  • Wow. Well here I was wondering if I should stick with kbin or switch back to lemmy.world. Guess this makes the decision for me.

  • Well yeah, at least it had the chance of being fun.

  • I feel like that might trigger an anti-trust lawsuit somewhere.

  • Chrome: We're going to make adblocking on mobile even harder.

    Firefox: We're gonna make adblocking on mobile as easy as its ever been.

    Gee, wonder which one I'm gonna be using after this.

  • Ironically what got me into Diablo was my then-girlfriend now-spouse insisting that I go back to Diablo 1 with her and experience it for the story, and damn if that didn't hook me quick. Endgame D2 and D3 are great and all, but what makes something great even greater is having any sort of emotional connection to the story the game takes place in.

    Also hot damn the ambiance of D1 is just something else.

  • Not to be that guy, but once you get past the first 35 levels of story in FFXIV (which is a lot faster than 50 hours) it really picks up quick. Like a lot.

  • A surprising number of corporate decisions of that era were made with the "Cocaine and Dartboards" decision making philosophy.

  • Just clean enough to make it impossible to find where it is, not clean enough to stop the smell.

  • Perfect for scooping a small amount out of a baggie, and the shape of the spoon made it easier to place it against a nostril and sniff.

  • Drugs are neat, and you can buy them relatively cheap. And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.

  • "Problematic usage". IT WAS USED FOR SNORTING COKE. DRUGS. DRUG USE. This isn't Facebook, you don't have to come up with cutesy euphamisms and self-censor yourself.

  • Not OP, but from what I can tell it's a Communist/Leftist instance heavy on the shitposting. Hard to tell what there is ironic and what isn't, but I guess if you really hate Tankies it wouldn't be your favorite instance.
