I was just at a bus stop and no one wanted to use those awful standing benches so a guy decided to sit on top of a gas line cage instead. It’s crazy how infrastructure is somehow more ergonomic than anti homeless furniture.

I’ve been on a DS/3DS binge lately myself. It’s so fun hunting hidden gems for good prices.

It was a convenient way to set a kitchen timer. I never used it for anything else but this is still gonna hurt.

I don’t have much faith in them turning down the PS6 if the calls to boycott Hogwarts Legacy is anything to go by.

Yeah those are way too risky unless you’re making some mirrors. Best go for used then

Some bored kid in robotics class is gonna hack a drone and spray a bunch unsuspecting classmates one day.

What happens if you erase it though? System32 moment?

Gotta believe in something. I’m just glad it’s a good thing.

I might’ve cared more about the franchise if they didn’t have their shit Ubisoft DRM on PC.

A lot of prog rock, 70’s rock, and prog metal. I need long winding and pace changing music to keep from stagnating my train of thought for too long. Synthwave and anything Nobuo Uematsu or Yasushi Ishii makes is good too.

May Microsoft let Arkane go. The world needs Dishonored 3.

Have they tried threatening to unsubscribe and go to a competitor? It works well whenever my ISP starts hiking prices after the introductory year.

It’s still above the IPO price so it has plenty more to fall.

Best value was Desperados III. I intentionally paid full price for the base game and DLC on GOG after playing Shadow Gambit: Blades of the Shogun and loving the gameplay/concept. It was one of the few titles I’ve ever 100 percented and played repeatedly for months. I loved it so much I bought an unopened collector’s edition for the PS4 at a steep discount and it now sits proudly on top of my bookshelf next to my Batman Beyond statue and Venture Bros. discs.

My worst was LA Noir on Steam. That mandatory Rockstar Social Club DRM login was such bullshit that I uninstalled it and hid it from the library list. Fuck Rockstar for forcing this. Never bought anything of theirs on PC again.

All kids are guilty until proven innocent. /s

That’s a good deal. Microcenter was selling a WD 20TB external HDD for $600. Didn’t end up pulling the trigger 'cause I’m going for a 2 drive Raid1 config on my janky setup and $1350 w/ taxes is way too steep.

The solution is easy. Pick out the pineapple and eat them separately.

Modern ICE cars have the exact same telemetry, even at the lower end models now. There are ways to circumvent some of the monitoring by deliberately terminating their antennas however. It really depends on the model though and whatever documentation regular drivers would be willing to share. My EV was modified this way and now I have a tiny reminder on the corner of the console that it can’t connect.

This is all a bandaid of course. We either come up with a gray market of workarounds or we demand legislation to remove this shit in a privacy bill. Considering we have a mandate by Congress starting in 2027 to install AI equipped driver facing cameras to disable the car if the driver even vaguely looks incapacitated shows that it would be a massive uphill battle however.

The US would be the only country to suffer in this scenario. The rest of the world would be just fine with using cheaper memory while we shoot ourselves in the foot to spite them.
