Shitty foodporn or shittyfood porn?

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to say nobody would or should care I just mean my head has been so filled with anxious thoughts that hearing about a corporate video game not doing well profit-wise sounds like an onion article headline to me.

Again, I don’t mean to say it’s irrelevant it just sounds irrelevant

Reading this headline feels so fucking surreal right now. Who could possibly care?

I do turn off my PC. But most of the time, I do it by pressing the software-based “restart” button in my OS, not by pressing the physical button on the case. Otherwise I normally use hibernate which is also software-bound and can be undone by pressing the space bar. I’m not saying I never press the physical power button or that I never turn off my computer. I’m just saying it’s in no way a big deal to have to lift up a small box sometimes to press a button like one a week

I should have considered that I was posting this comment to Lemmy before posting it.

Maybe you push the dedicated power button on your computer’s case everyday but I’m very confident most users of any computer do not. And in that regard I’m including all computers - wearable, handheld, and laptops. We’re well past the age where most users feel the need to fully shutdown and boot their computers everyday, AND there are plenty of software buttons and even some physical keyboard buttons for shutting down a computer so I mean it when I say that I think most computer case’s power buttons go untouched for definitely days and possibly weeks at a time.

I’m not really trying to come to Apple’s defense here as they don’t need it, but everyone reacting as though this is as bad as or worse than the mouse charging port seems to be ignoring the fact that most computers nowadays don’t need to be manually turned off or on with any level of frequency. People will push this button like once or twice a month I imagine. I don’t see why that’s the end of the world.

“Hey, barkeep! Can you make me a Bulbasour neat? Thanks!”

Boats get covered with water when hit by missiles, therefore we need to get rid of all the water to handle that exception

It sounds like it could be so cool. Asymmetrical multiplayer has so many unexplored possibilities.

BUT

Arkane had never developed a co-op game before Microsoft got their hands on them and we all saw how Redfall did. I have to remain cautiously optimistic about this

Well you didn’t ask why the OP was laser focused on this event, you asked why “people” are and I gave my best guess as to why it keeps coming up. It also could be that people just like to do things they’re told not to do

You asked why people care about it so much, and I’m pretty confident the reason is because we’re allowed to talk about it here. If we don’t, someone will forget about it. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

Furthermore, what we’re remembering is a moment when people who were trying to make their voices heard were silenced. By making our voices heard and remembering that they lost their lives in the name of their voices is in itself an act of remembrance that honors their memories.

Lastly, for the low hanging fruit, asking why people are “laser-focused” on an event from a long time ago is a stupid fucking question when today there are nazis and fascists on the fucking ballot. That’s why we remember the past.

And yes, to your point, those do who know history are doomed to watch others repeat it but remembering it is nonetheless valuable, and honoring people who died for something noble is also valuable.

Are people in China or on Chinese social media allowed to talk about it today?

Sure, but I think recognizing someone when they accomplish something of value is important regardless of the economic system in place.

And in this Capitalistic society OpenAI is doing nothing but literally capitalizing on the hard work of thousands of individuals without giving them any form of recognition

When I copy and paste someone else’s work, I get called a plagiarist and get fired.

When OpenAI creates a robot that does it really really really fast, they make enough money to feed the planet hundreds of times over.

I don’t want to live on this planet any more.

From now on

Just like they said yesterday!

I’m a huge fan of Burnout Paradise. The crash physics and cameras are so addicting that I’ll drive up and down the same street just flipping my car on its roof using the same split ramp just to see the carnage. The driving is a wonderful arcadey feel that makes insane turns easy to pull off, and the crashes make those insane turns addicting to completely fail.

Many people say the early Burnout games are better, but I’ve never played them and Paradise has remained entertaining for 17 years

Finally! Now no one can deny that Gojira song really IS about Great Britain.

Holy shit. I’ve been wondering about this for so long

I wonder if the advent of Windows 11’s “best” features will become known as “The Great Defenestration”

False. The hard drive where Windows lives will soon find itself exiting my window
