Fuck ban-happy Reddit and its IPO shenanigans. That place is a dumpster fire that I wouldn’t piss on to put out.
Welcome to Lemmy. It might not be perfect, But At Least We Aren’t Reddit (TM)
That joke’s pretty much as old as time, with lots of versions.
And for those who don’t get the reference:
Usually I’d call someone like that a hypocrite, but considering he took two bullets… I understand why he wouldn’t want a repeat of that experience.
Why would they even care though? Heck, they could be in the same building. It’s not as if Larian’s going to bringing T72 tanks or self-propelled artillery with them to lay siege…
My brother in Buddha… how about we don’t do that.
And you can’t really blame the poor guys who take up this offer either. I imagine this is very attractive to some of those poorest Africans.
But can you imagine dying in the cold mud thousands of miles from home, based on this bullshit? Or losing a loved one to that?
All in all, it certainly shows the Russian level of desperation if this is what’s needed to fill their ranks.
They’re like fluffier hamsters. You breathe on them wrong and poof, they’re dead. It’s like every sheep is somehow genetically programmed to find the most creative way to end their own existence. And usually that of those around them.
Back in 2005, around 1500 of them jumped off a cliff in Turkey. 400 of them died.
That’s awesome! I got back into LEGO as an adult in 2012 when they released the first VW camper.
On mine that panel seems pretty secure, though it is a bit finicky to attach. Might want to check if it’s properly attached.
Recommendations are tough; LEGO makes so many awesome sets. It also depends on things like budget and space. For example, the Concorde set is awesome, but also quite large.
Personally, I really like their modular sets. Larger, very detailed buildings like a hotel, jazz club, bank, etc. I’ve collected most of them so far.
There’s also a lot of cool new soace sets, in addition to the galaxy that you’re familiar with. I’m really looking forward to the lunar rover that’s coming out later this year.
A good site to follow for LEGO news is Brickset.com. That way you can get a feeling for any future sets that you might like. Some can sell out pretty quickly; lots of us adults love LEGO ;-)
That’s an awesome set; the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 camera.

It actually has a really neat feature where you can push the red shutter button and it actually pops out a cardboard ‘photo’. They tweaked it to perfection; it doesn’t shoot out fully, but instead sticks out just partly like the real camera. They went through a lot of iterations of that mechanism in order to get it just right.
It’s an awesome set for photography nerds.
That game is dead to me. I really loved it when it was actual humans playing, but I checked out years ago when the bots started taking over. Some days you couldn’t get ANY actual match in, since bots would straight up vote-kick you off.
Valve doesn’t seem to really care or they would’ve fixed it on their own. So I doubt a petition will have much effect.
Lemmy could definitely use a bit more comment activity on a lot of posts.
I think it’s because nobody really wants to be the first to comment and offer an opinion that might end up going against the grain when a thread develops. There’s no ‘reading the room’ as it were.
I’m doing my part by commenting on threads. Like this one.
I’ve been playing with Bing Image Creator. This stuff really is amazing huh? I was playing around with some prompts and styles and came up with this. The car’s prompt was a classic BMW M3 E30.
I was playing around with Bing this afternoon; that's pretty cool technology! Had it generate a few covers based on classic series like Outrun, Sega GT, that sort of thing.
Figured I'd give a different prompt a try as well. So here's "Retro-futuristic image of a white haired older man, dressed in a white 80's suit and sunglasses. Stepping out of a futuristic, red Lamborghini Countach with white interior. Background is an 80's Miami street with palm trees and art-deco buildings, sun-drenched, with neon lights on the buildings."
That's a vibe for sure.
When you can pack the peak amount of players into a decent sized ballroom, that’s never a good sign for your game’s future.
At this point they’re probably better off just refunding buyers and shuttering the game entirely. Doesn’t feel like this is a salvageable situation.
