The article specifically states that there’s nowhere you can (legally) watch much of this. It’s so much worse than just trading licenses.

The amount of mental gymnastics required to make that statement is mind boggling.

I thought it was just a given that you need to constantly remind your feline companion that they are, in fact, a cat.

Ah you speak the truth. Fixed.

Tesla engineers managers treating it like software. “Ship it and we can patch it in production.”

Okay, this actually make me cackle like a buffoon.

Okay, but if it doesn’t say “You have thirty seconds to comply” before shooting someone then what’s the point?

I like that it’s different and not just “Super Generic Truck 2024 Edition”. Remember the Plymouth Prowlar? That thing was wacky looking and I think it only came in purple. I’m paraphrasing the commercial but it went something like: “It’s not for everyone, is it?” “That’s kinda the point.” I LIKE that.

When you try to make something for everyone, you end up making it for no one.

But damn if the Cyber truck isn’t a huge piece of shit made by a horrible company which ruins any positivity it might otherwise have.

Loved all those movies when I was a kid. 5+3=8…I’ll call you Ocho! (This memory is decades old and is probably not 100% accurate)

I remember a while back Microsoft did an market research thing and found that of their brands, “Xbox” had positive consumer feedback while many of their other product names weren’t nearly as favorable.

So what did they do? Did they try to understand what Xbox did differently to leverage that strategy elsewhere? Did they promote the Xbox marketing team to give them a wider purview?

No. They just renamed Zune Music to Xbox Music and Games for Windows to Xbox for Windows. THAT’LL FIX IT!

Omg I was thinking of that goat too.

I remember when ABP started whitelisting ads as part of some twisted business model. I switched to uBlock so fast and haven’t looked back.

That friend? Albert Einstein.

Ah, yup. You are correct. For some reason I thought they came before.

I like how you put this. Anon was asked requirements and all he gave were deal-breakers. It comes off as desperate, crass, or both.

I saw this Lemmy post and then bought Balatro and started playing it. Afterward I was browsing Lemmy, saw this post again, and was reminded I had more Balatro to play. I’m stuck in an infinite loop.

Sega Saturn and Dreamcast also probably factored in. They weren’t nearly as successful as the Genesis. With even established brands floundering it’s no wonder people didn’t think the Playstation would work.

• They do have a safety. It’s a trigger safety, not a thumb safety. This means that you have to have your finger in the trigger and pull it for the gun to go off. If the trigger snags on clothes or the gun is dropped or whatever, the gun will not go off.
• The glock is a striker-fired gun. That means the trigger pull to fire will always be the same. There is no double VS single action, which is probably what you’re thinking about when you say “light squeeze to fire” as a double action gun like a Beretta 92FS will have a noticeably shorter and much easier pull if it’s cocked VS uncocked. There is no “partially pulled back” with a glock. You always pull the trigger the same amount with the same force to fire. You cannot “decock” a glock.

Now how much force does it require? That is up to the trigger spring. Some jurisdictions like NY force glocks to have a really heavy trigger pull but as far as I am aware there is no data supporting that it makes them any safer. I will say if I had to criticize the glock, it is that you need to pull the trigger to disassemble the weapon. Of course you should only be trying to disassemble it after you’ve cleared any rounds from the chamber but it is one minor flaw with the design and one reason why the glock wasn’t eligible to become the US Army’s sidearm.

I’m going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So… K for Kerbal Space Program.

Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I’d still get stuff like

• Knights of the Old Republic
• King’s Quest
• Killer Instinct
• Katamari
• Kingdom Hearts
• Killzone
• Kirby

Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.

Okay, I’m going to need this one explained to me.
