Ye gods, America, you had four years and an open-and-shut case and it wasn’t enough to get rid of the orange ghoul.

Wow, that may be the most apt description I’ve heard for Joomla in a while. Well, my memory of what Joomla was like nearly twenty years ago.

You’d hate my IDE at work. It’s bright pink.

That’ll certainly make it easier to pay the CEO.

Luckily the feck attribute is too obscure to be in the line of fire.

Unless they’re suddenly shoving a UHD drive in there, I’m not interested.

It seems a weird oversight - gamers that care about 4K surely also care about films in 4K? The notion of it being an external add-on is laughable.

Then again, this whole thing is a solution looking for a problem.

Sure, sure, but I was making a snarky comment about the “strategists”. I wouldn’t really call “state the bloody obvious” to be particularly insightful analysis!

I’m not in the US, but it was their playbook last time around and has been consistent with everything they’ve been doing for years. There’s been no significant consequences for their behaviour, why would they not take the same tack?

Are these strategists paid much? A toddler could have told you that.

lol, “X”. Get fucked.

In general I’ve found Lemmy to be closer to the feel of old forums in interactions. Arguments and petty squabbles are still entirely possible, but it doesn’t feel like every interaction is about to become one. It’s what pushed me to stop using Reddit - everything seems to end up as a fight for the slightest reason. Whilst I’m plenty abrasive as a person, it felt like Reddit got worse over the last 5 - 10 years.

They might have a bigger userbase now than when I joined but it’s not ended up being worth it, I feel.

Perhaps it’s just me having different priorities, but I have no interest in making small talk with lots of people. There’s plenty of spaces for that already whilst the spaces for enthusiasts have been sacrificed to the general public.

I’m not arguing this specifically about Lemmy, or trying to suggest policy, I’m just chipping in that there’s at least something to be said for not trying to make all social spaces for all people.

The scarecrow is awful. In a good way.

Alan Wake

I only played through the second one but the thing that got me was just how ambitious it was. It ruined many other games for me as I was left thinking “Where’s the rest of the game?”.

The opening act of Little Big Adventure 2 gets my vote.

The spore lore was only implemented in 1997. Before that their reproduction worked differently.

Is there a single canonical citation for this? It feels like a meme.

Which Ork models have nipples?

I can’t say my knowledge of the current range is exhaustive, but I can’t think of a single model that has one from the 1998 - 2016 era. There’s a runtherd with a piercing where a nipple would be, but no nipple.
