This whole domain is just AI slop and it should be banned.

This “author” isn’t a human being.

This article was written by AI and its pretty obvious.

What happened to 0x10^C ya bigoted fuckkkk I liked the concept of that one

I’ve been really considering one but I’m not sold yet.

I’ve been wanting a tablet or small laptop to do some minor computer stuff sitting on the couch, like looking up recipes or updating budget sheets, researching new products, but I couldn’t justify the cost of either considering its a fairly minor upgrade to my “workflow” vs the phone or sitting at my desktop.

But now my Note 20 5G is aging. The back plastic popped off (though I bet I can glue it back on), the screen is cracked in a way that doesn’t really matter and one of the back camera glass covers also has cracked. Otherwise, it’s been functioning fine, so I can keep using this for another year or so, but it’s also an opportunity to look at the foldable.

I’m looking at the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6, but I’d honestly rather get the Honor Magic V3, since it’s pretty much the same specs at a lower price, but I’m in the US so importing one seems tricky.

I held a coworkers and one small benefit I didn’t realize when looking at ads was that when folded, it’s thinner than the Note so it would be easier to operate with one hand.

I’m actually really not concerned about foreign governments spying on me but I am bothered by my own government, the guys with the guns who can arrest me, doing it.

Tho I suspect if the government is recommending ways to avoid messages being intercepted, they’ve already cracked how to intercept them.

Once it stops making money.

I don’t think Santa = swastika but it is super tiresome when Halloween ends and suddenly there’s Christmas shit everywhere. I know it’s more a factor of capitalism than Christianity, but it even infects the meager Hanukkah end caps we get. There’s frequently products being sold that are clearly just Christmas goods painted blue and white (argh) paraded around as Hanukkah goods. Fuckin blue and white pine tree tchotchkes? C’mon what the fuck is that? Hell, one year I saw “chocolate Maccabes” which were literally just chocolate Santa candies in a different foil.

It’s all expected, it happens every year (though the holiday seems to take up more of the calendar each year), but damn is it tiresome. And don’t get me started on the music!

Goddamn right!!

The only thing I need on a screen is the GPS, everything else is an annoyance.

Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.

No Man’s Sky is doing a Halloween event, too, so I might play around in that to get some unique cosmetics. And the Expeditions usually have a tailored experience that’s always fun.

I’ve been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.

Unless the weather is nice. Then I’m going fishing.

No Man’s Sky or Elite: Dangerous might offer you a stellar exploration experience you would enjoy over Starfield.

No RPG elements in either, though.

No, no I can figure it out from context, but it’s cumbersome and makes your thoughts difficult to parse.

You didn’t do this, like, at the start of this week, it seems. But, you’re absolutely right that it’s your right to make yourself more annoying to understand.

Good luck!

Naw… dude naw…

The whole point of language is to be understood and you’re actively fighting that

MicroProse has really been filling a niche I’ve missed with these “old style” games. I mean, maybe an odd post to comment this specifically on, because this is and old game, but their recent releases in general seem to harken back to an older era of gaming that I’ve missed.

Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll get to try their hands at another MechWarrior!

Truly a watershed moment for the enshittification of microtransactions

AI job matching… what a stupid hellscape we are building for ourselves to be crushed under

I’ve gotten a few of these, but I just moved so it only included Google maps images of my old apartment, and I guess the data scrape didn’t get my phone number, so it included language like “I bet you wouldn’t like it if I called you at 0000000000, would you?”

I’m savvy enough to laugh and delete, but I’m sure this would be very effective against some older Americans.

Life by You’s cancelation was a big disappointment to hear. I figured if any studio had an understanding of emergent intercharacter storytelling in the way a Sims game needed, it was Paradox.

That said, Para-Lives is still in the works and looks quite promising.

There’s still hope. Just not from EA.

A whole new kind of low quality, unimaginative, worthless crap is headed our way. Hurrah!

Man, fuck Duolingo. The users came up with these jokes about the product because while it’s useful, it’s also annoying as hell, and they turned that into a marketing campaign.

Lazy ass mother fuckers oughta pay the users for writing their marketing plans
