The first game was pretty fun, but I don’t think it quite hit all the high notes their formula could possibly hit. I very much look forward to trying out the sequel!

I came to this to post the same method with turning off lights so they go toward my patio door, then I just crack the door and shoo them out. Glad to see someone else using this very fast method, generally it only takes a few minutes for the fly to decide it doesn’t want to be in the dark.

Voyager was always hit or miss for me, but I always enjoyed the concept of an emergency medical hologram.

I positively loved this movie as a kid! It’s been many years since I watched it last, but that last view was during adult hood and it’s definitely held up. It has that magical, fantastical feeling you don’t see much in movies any more.

Even as useful as I’ve found it, probably not.

How I Met your Mother

I couldn’t agree more. The idea seemed to have been “Hey, lets take a joke that was just luke warm at best to begin with, and then over use it in an attempt to wring every single spec of amusement out of it until our audience gets physically sick when they hear it”

Still a fun show though!

It’s a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use.

I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it’d be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.

That’s a tough decision to make, especially in today’s gaming marketing, but I applaud them for stepping back and recognizing what they had wasn’t good enough to sell. Blizzard made that decisions years ago with Starcraft Ghost, the Blizzard of today wouldn’t make that same call any more.

I miss multiplayer in PC games being done by joining a server and playing. No match making bullshit, it was fun to be in a server with a mixture of skill levels. As compared with a lot of game snow, when ever your skills improve, you just get thrown into a harder tier of match making until you reach your limit and burn out.

Occam’s Razor is useful here. What’s more likely; The unexplained excess infrared heat is caused by star sized artificial constructs built to collect the energy of an entire star, which would take amazing technology and materials we can only dream of.

or

The excess infrared heat is caused by some currently unknown natural phenomenon that scientists just haven’t ever seen yet.

I dislike when articles take something out of context for a more thrilling headline. The scientists just mention that it could be Dyson swarms that they’re seeing, not that they are 100% certain.

Let my people go…BROTHER!

That looks like a blast! I always have a soft spot for shooters of the 90’s and early 2000s.

Oh finally! I wanted to play this co-op with my best friend. He comes over, I play games on my PC, and he uses my gaming laptop. But he doesn’t play with keyboard/mouse as he’s more used to consoles. So we weren’t able to play V Rising!

I think I got my first cell phone in 2001 or 2002, it was a Kyocera 2135, or another similar model from Kyocera. My first PC is an Acer with a 75 MHz with 8 mb of RAM, came preinstalled with Windows 3.1. My family got it maybe 8 months before Windows 95 came out.

Up next, the Epic Augmented Reality glasses, which block you from seeing anything that might hurt your feelings, or you don’t agree with.

Thank you for inducing me to the concept that fire drills inoculate me against fire. I love it ❤️

I’ve had right leaning people argue that rich people already pay more dollars into tax systems then he’d ever make in his life time. The more important part is, it’s ridiculous that in generally ultra rich are paying proportionally much less of their earnings into taxes then 99% of people. It’s ridiculous that a single mother just scraping by is paying a bigger chunk then billionaires.

But I’m beginning to realize the logic behind the relevantly poor defending the mega rich is, the relevantly poor think they could be that rich some day, and don’t want higher taxes to impact that fantasy future.

Yeah, I don’t document stuff online. If I see something I’m amused by, I may take a picture of it, but it stays with me. I think this means that when I’m dead, and techno-archeologists are digging through the digital strata, I will not have existed for I didn’t leave a digital foot print. Outside mostly anonymous stuff like Lemmy of course, but nothing posted publicly as my real name.

People have always loved being able to take a photo using a real camera or disposable while at a concert, or while at the Grand Canyon. The two huge changes were putting high res digital cameras in everyone’s pocket, combined with the more recent idea that anyone can post online and become famous. The latter gives peoples mundane lives an inflated importance, which prompts them to share everything they do. Because of this behavior I think people also feel like, “If I don’t have a video of the fireworks, I can’t prove I was there, did it even happen!?”.

I don’t expect this to change much, sadly.
