I like the idea of these games but the execution was way way more complicated than it needed to be.

dan1101 ,

Not a smart comment to make Biden.

dan1101 ,

I think Biden’s defense is stupid. Better to say nothing.

dan1101 ,

It all depends on the springs. The side springs over the tracks have no tension on them when the door is up.

dan1101 ,

Mess with what you’re comfortable with, but an untensioned side spring is just a curly piece of wire.

After the only hospital in town closed, a North Carolina city directs its ire at politicians (apnews.com)

Weeds have punctured through the vacant parking lot of Martin General Hospital’s emergency room. A makeshift blue tarp covering the hospital’s sign is worn down from flapping in the wind. The hospital doors are locked, many in this county of 22,000 fear permanently....

dan1101 ,

I know that sucks, but it’s always been a ~40 minute ambulance ride to the hospital from here and it doesn’t seem like a big deal. Medics can stabilize you in the ambulance. In the case of major trauma there is a helicopter.

dan1101 ,

Camoflauge clothing is also illegal in some of those small Caribbean countries. Apparently it’s a problem with cruise ship passengers.

dan1101 ,

If she thinks Trump would lead to any less dead children she will be disappointed. Vote for Biden or get Trump that’s about it.

dan1101 ,

Sure makes it seem like the police got to someone, threatened them with something.

dan1101 ,

Yes it’s ok to generalize. That is how humans quickly cope with an overwhelming amount of information. But you always need to be flexible and willing to recognize that not everyone fits the generalization.

dan1101 ,

If you see a guy walking down a neighborhood street dressed like a letter carrier you can probably assume he is a letter carrier.

But maybe he is a stripper on his way to a party.

dan1101 ,

Trump would be no better. If I had to make a rough scorecard it would be Biden 55 and Trump about 4.

dan1101 ,

You can vote for me and I wouldn’t mess it up as much as Biden or especially Trump. But 2 votes aren’t enough to beat millions.

dan1101 ,

Free market at work.

What the fsck?

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

dan1101 ,

It was most certainly cheap. Remember the dollar menu? You could get a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries and drink for about $3 plus tax.

dan1101 ,

Yeah there’s that, and the fact that you have no control over how much the bill will be each renewal period. Those two things kept me off the cloud for anything important.

dan1101 ,

Just one more example of why voting for Trump would be a big step backwards for the USA. Even if you think Biden is bad, Trump would be far worse.

dan1101 ,

It’s $9 for the standard Game Pass, and was $1 a month until they stopped that last year sometime.

dan1101 ,

The biggest change to me is how much the streaming services are pushing commercials now. Paying to watch commercials really completes the transition back to cable.

What is the benefit of closing Studios? Why not sell them?

Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don’t understand how these executives...

dan1101 ,

It can. But it’s not guaranteed.

dan1101 ,

This has also been a problem in things like children’s pajamas. Unless that has been outlawed I doubt the industry fixed it.

dan1101 ,

Striker never bent my Wookie, and for that I am grateful.

dan1101 ,

Works great docked to my TV though.

dan1101 ,

That’s good, my niece is in Boy Scouts and enjoys it. The Girl Scout troops are all cookies all the time.

dan1101 ,

I’m with you, there is so much waste in the world. I even feel bad throwing away a pack of ketchup, thinking of all that has to happen for that packet to get into my hand.

The problem with returns on a foot bath is probably no one wants a used foot bath. And also with shipping costs so high the return shipping would probably cost more than their cost to make the item.

dan1101 ,

Yeah did someone just run or interpret reports incorrectly? If a person subscribes to Game Pass and plays Hi Fi Rush for X months, I’d consider that a sale.

dan1101 ,

Just the fact that they played some minimum amount should tell them the game contributed to the subscriber’s enjoyment of Game Pass. Otherwise if they are both selling a game and giving it to Game Pass subscribers for free I’m not sure what they are expecting. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, but I’m sure they would like that.

Maybe they are hoping that Game Pass is like extended demos and will lead to more game sales. But there are too many new games all the time for most to hold my interest.

dan1101 ,

Absolutely agree, just recently instead of buying Manor Lords I just found a good deal on a month of Game Pass. I played it as much as I wanted (for now) for less than $10.

dan1101 ,

Why was that ever accepted? I don’t care what size it was before milling. If I buy a 2x2 I want a 2x2.

Liberal icon Bernie Sanders is running for Senate reelection, squelching retirement rumors (apnews.com)

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont announced Monday he will run for reelection this year, squelching speculation that the 82-year-old progressive icon might retire at a time when the Democratic Party is anxious about the advancing age of its top leaders....

dan1101 ,

Squelching is a word but I normally see it in shortwave radio terminology.

What do you think about this?

Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could...

dan1101 ,

How long until you see shapes?

dan1101 ,

Not a good sign. A friend had a raccoon break into their attic and have babies there.

dan1101 ,

Meta sucks but they like every other site shouldn’t have to publish anything they don’t want to.

dan1101 ,

They won’t pay for that, they would probably rather spend money on developing AI curation.

dan1101 ,

A bot browsing or posting is not equivalent to a human doing so.

Sears From A Joke Being Torn Down (lemmy.world)

American comedian Ron White frequently tells a story about how his van was damaged in a comedic way by the technicians at a Sears Automotive Center in Savannah, GA. This week, that Sears Automotive Center is being torn down. While the shopping mall that former Sears location is a part of is otherwise doing well, the Sears has...

dan1101 ,

Yeah during that time my friend tried to buy a pair of shoes in Sears, the salesperson kept pushing him to use a terminal to order online. You know, while he was standing right next to a bunch of shoes that he wanted to buy.

dan1101 ,

Yeah I felt sorry for the staff. When I would check out towards the end the cashier would insist they had to have my phone number. And they wouldn’t admit to there being any way to bypass it. I actually memorized the store phone number and gave that to them on the rare occasion I went there any more.

What does a PSN account involve? Just an email and password, maybe a handle/nickname?

I assume it needs no credit card or payment.

If all that is true a PSN account is annoying but doesn’t seem so bad.

dan1101 ,

If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a special email address and unique password, I don’t see where I have a privacy or security risk there. Annoying, but it’s a lot better than another launcher or something. ETA: It asks for birthdate, definitely don’t give them your real birthdate but give them something close. I have a standard fake that I use.

dan1101 ,

I would definitely be annoyed but have had to create an account for other games too. Give them an email that isn’t your primary email and a unique password, I don’t see where there is any risk after that.

dan1101 ,

They might verify the email. But if you’re that worried about Sony having your email you can just make a unique one for them. You don’t have to give them your primary email.

dan1101 ,

No it needs more AI. Maybe AI-generated ads. The killer tech of 2024. The shareholders will be so pleased.

dan1101 ,

This one covered households making 2x the poverty level. I bet a lot of people qualified that didn’t realize it, including myself.

dan1101 ,

I hate Facebook but it doesn’t sound right to legally force a service to act how you want. Facebook is how they want to be, take it or leave it. Wish more people would leave it and that there were better alternatives.

dan1101 ,

Yes I’ve been interested in a few EGS exclusives but by the time they are available on Steam I don’t care about them any more.

dan1101 ,

They will get right on that after the solve the speedy trial problem.

Titan is about 40% the size of the planet Earth, and is the 10th largest object in the solar system.
