I agree with you, for the most part. Fresh veggie stir fry beats beyond burger any day

Tell that bitch to be cool

Companies want to squeeze us for maximum value while providing minimal effort. So they get what they give; they should be competing with “free” but would much rather fruitlessly put up roadblocks that only hurt paying customers, leading more people to piracy. Its delicious and theres nothing they can do to stop it.

I get the impression the author is either being deliberately obtuse to prove their point, or has a difficult time engaging critically with media. Creating a strawman fake game about dancing (which only exists in the author’s mind) to criticize for only being about dancing is not substantive critique.

Celeste’s gameplay absolutely has narrative meaning as well. You are climbing the mountain of depression. Not the most subtle or complicated metaphor, but it’s there and it is effective.

what the fuck is the point of a blockade? He’s literally bleeding power every day the strait is closed and so he wants to make it even worse? Does he realize that the world will completely turn on him and shut the American economy out of global trade? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. We are so fucked.

Awesome devs have the free version waiting for you, and other less puritanical storefronts to pay them some money if you liked it.

Lol my dirty mind went to eroge VN but any visual novel would be good, or point and click adventure games, 4X games like Civ, or turn based RPGs come to mind.

The main draw of the fediverse for me is not being a product for a company to sell to the highest bidder.

They can both be bad

Can’t help but feel the doomsayers of AI are the least knowledgeable about its capabilities. No mention of model collapse, LLM memory ceilings, the massive infrastructure and resource cost of scaling AI… It’s not the future if it’s not sustainable. We just have to wait until the normies wake up from their dream.

It was the booty shorts for me.

Take that shit above her head. Tell her boss that unpaid overtime is theft and you may have to take action outside the company if it continues. Be reasonable, offer solutions like: I can make you a list of my daily taks and how long they take so you dont over-budget time. But dont continue to engage your direct report, she is trying to show you your place and its time to show her’s

Hey ash whatcha playin?

Lol and do what with the info? Fast food service has insane turnover already due to employees making shit wages and being treated horribly by managers and customers alike. So you’ve already preselected for employees that dont give a FUCK about anything.

Fair use for me but not for thee.

Well I hope you’re safe from the elements at least, where I’m at right now exposure is a real motherfucker.

I really shouldn’t laugh at this, but sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

he’s referencing Demolition Man, which the article also references with its “everything is named Taco Bell” joke. The movie takes place in the future, where there were “franchise wars” after which Taco Bell won and all food is named after it. The seashells were an esoteric system of personal bathroom hygiene that is never full explained, just a joke about how the future is weird.

LAPD once again proving where their loyalties lie. Shocked pikachu face.

Also, go ahead and waste your time arresting minors for truancy. Its not like students outnumber your officers 50x over.
