Chozo

I mean, Sakurai’s said that about every Smash game since Melee.

Q: “Why is journalism dying?”

A:

When I ran out of storage space.

I think Lemmygrad might be a better place for you to fuck off to.

Just more conservatives casually admitting that they can’t win anything without rigging the vote.

It’s against Reddit’s ToS, but as far as I’m aware there’s no law that says you can’t pay to manipulate social media content.

I feel like “I’m making a personal choice to pirate because my deliberately-crafted use-case scenario is not being specifically catered to” is a worse argument than “I can’t afford it”.

distributors and publishers treating me as a second (or third) class citizen

This is like an F1 racer getting angry at 7-Eleven for not offering fuel that works for his supercar. You’re not being treated as a second-class citizen; you’ve created a situation in which you are above first-class citizens, because you’re using what is, these days, niche and specialized hardware that is far outside of the norm, but for some reason you’re still shopping at the gas station the rest of us peons go to.

This article spent more time explaining the logistics on building pager-bombs than it did actually explaining why building pager-bombs is a bad idea.

Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.

This was a really fun take. Even though it’s ridiculous, it’s fun to entertain theories like this!

I’ll throw a wrench in the works for anyone who wants to theorycraft further: Say the rocks floating up aren’t caused by gravity at all, but some other force. Maybe extreme winds caused by a massive celestial body approaching the planet’s surface could be strong enough to create enough lift to make the rocks float. Kind of like the vortexes and turbulence you’d create in a pool of water by dropping a bowling ball into it. What sort of properties would the moon need to have for this to be the explanation for the floating rocks?

Elon is a fucking terrorist. Deport his ass back to daddy’s emerald mines.

Play yellow Duck Hunt.

Allegedly, the legit fmovies mirrors are all down. The sites currently accessible are supposedly all clones.

At least, that’s what I’ve been able to gather. There’s a lot of mixed messages floating around this topic right now.

I’d like to think so, but part of me suspects that a large amount of the current users are on mobile exclusively. The old layout isn’t mobile-optimized at all, so those users are probably on the current UI.

For four individual drivers, even more specifically.

This has been a problem on Amazon for ages. Unless you can confirm the seller on the Amazon listing is authentic, you should never buy any storage devices on Amazon, ever.

Kim Dotcom isn’t “just some internet people sharing their stuff”.

I have a PS5, a Switch, and a Chromecast connected to my TV, and that’s already a hellish rat’s nest of cables. I’d love to see his cable management.

neoliberal thatcherites and reaganites that carry out digital mccarthyism

Buzzword mad-libs.

For me, I was enamored with the simplicity of it. You click Start and the Start menu just appears, without having to spend 10 seconds connecting to the internet to refresh a bunch of tiles that I never wanted in the first place. There wasn’t any half-baked “assistant” trying to suggest new spyware for me to install. It didn’t try making me sign into a Microsoft account just to open the photo gallery. The only “bloatware” it came preinstalled with was Outlook Express. The whole experience just made the computer feel like a tool to use for a purpose again.

It’s funny, because I remember thinking when Vista and subsequent versions of Windows came out, that it was amazing we ever survived with something as primitive as XP. But these days, all I want is to go back to that.
