Before I bought a steam deck I hadn’t used steam in years. Now I’ve bought like 20 games… Its a great way to get people on steam who otherwise wouldnt be interested.

Just finished prototype 1 and 2 for the first time since I was a kid. Very fun and definitely recommend both, but you could probably get away with just 2.

I should not have been playing a game that violent as a kid lol

The message, especially in the second one, is actually pretty positive. And the dark humour even in mission objectives is awesome. My favourite example being that you find out some of the scientists you have in a helicopter are trying to do eugenics, so your objective is to fly them as high as possible and jump out to “fuck over the scientists”. Lol

“We outlawed the activity that this group came together to do. Isn’t it interesting how these criminals just happen to be with other criminals committing the same crime that we just made illegal??”

It works for RBC in Canada.

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

I was worried that I was just nostalgic but its honestly a straight up blast to play. If they remastered it I would b e so excited. One of the best superhero games I’ve ever played.

This is honestly so great to hear. I had not been following the updates after Google’s announcement, so this is very exciting lol

I switched straight from iPhone to grapheneos last year and have loved so much of what android has to offer. I was thinking that I had no good options if grapheneos was no longer viable.

And honestly, being able even further remove myself from google by getting rid of the google pixel would be really nice as well. Of course we will see what the hardware looks like but I imagine there would be a lot of great features included in such a device if it was made to grapheneos spec…

Well honestly this is very likely good news for him. Now, not taking over Canada is an actual national security threat…

I’m a noon to Linux but I still love using terminal to download apps and stuff because it just looks cool. ASCII makes me feel like I know my way around computers but I’m just installing Firefox lol

So exciting to see that this might start making some changes. I would be very happy to see European-style small cars that are simple and just made to get you from one place to another. It doesn’t need to be an identity thing.

Of course, public transit is better but light trucks would be a good start I suppose. Won’t save the environment but might save lives in accidents

You know how you can tell we’re fucked? They’re not saying we’re going to be in a recession anymore. They’re saying “its going to be similar to a recession”.

The whole thing is nonsensical. Kinda crazy something that stupid has such an impact on the world

Very specific weird fear:

One time, when I was a kid, I was on a road trip and we stopped at a McDonalds for some food and to use the bathroom. I went into the bathroom and the floor, walls and ceiling all had the same tile covering them. I don’t know why, but when the door closed, I was so fucking terrified I made it halfway to the toilet and then turned around and ran out. It was such a strange experience and I have no idea why it got to me that bad.

Is your tolerance upgraded as well or is this a mutually assured destruction situation

Are we talking volume or velocity

Awesome content! Thank you for taking the time, it is very much appreciated.

This was one of the things that surprised me the most about getting a bike. Parts are cheap. The work is easy. Knowing how to do it is valuable.

Eat shit and die

Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, “Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.” Yeah it is a stretch but it should be reported on. The article ends with ”Is it a big deal? I have no idea. It’s just one of those details that you hear and you’re like, ‘Yeah that sounds like a likely thing to happen with these guys.’”

Carl Sagan, in 1995:

I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance
