I think that’s how sports should be digested. It’s impossible to keep track of every single game, much less, even attend those games. I think that’s a luxury for those who obviously can afford to do so.

The only time I’m involved with sports is when the playoffs happen, so I’m there for the World Series. But I’m not there for the full 162-game season. I’ll root for my team when they’re doing good in the standings, whether they’ve done some right moves and criticize them when they do something stupid or fail the season.

Stop excusing the stupid. People are capable to learn to avoid it and disable it.

Ha, shows you right.

God, people, just get yourselves flash drives or an external drive. Cloud storage is dumb.

You could make either of those options last through your entire lifetime if you care for them properly. But I guess people enjoy the idea of going “huh?” whenever files mysteriously disappear from cloud storage.

They tried being a game store at one point, where you bought Steam games through them.

Well the developers, like all techbros, have been sweetening up Discord to what it is. Once they find a pretty buyer, they’ll sell it for top dollar. That’s the real completion cycle of enshittification. Some private firm will have it or someone like Microsoft may have it and do to it like they’ve done with Skype.

It’s been enshittifying for a while now.

Who the hell would pay $12 for some fancy profile template? Who’d pay $6 just for an animated thing that revolves around your profile picture? Half of that garbage obstructs your profile.

Not even subscribing to their $10 Nitro deal is worth it. Wow, you get to have a poor selection of ways to display your name. Maybe if a server you really love to be in was active and could take advantage of some of the things advertised, probably might be worth it. But a lot of the time, I’m in servers that don’t so I don’t see a point.

Not too far off from what actually happened to some people. Christ. The levels the authorities went to protect the pockets of all of those rich executives.

Fucking lightbulbs have wi-fi in them. Lightbulbs.

Light. Bulbs. What could one fucking need wi-fi for, in lightbulbs? I know because I stock this shit.

“If you put money in a vending machine and got two items instead of one, would you put additional money in for the second item?”

I’ve done this twice in a row. First off, it is not my problem how the person stocking the vending machine puts two pieces of product together to make it happen. I’m not in their shoes, it’s not my job, therefore not my problem. Anybody who pays twice is a fool in that situation.

No. Inkbunny allows art of minors being in sexual content.

I love that mower one that isn’t shown in this article. Slap a remote control on it and I can’t see anyone getting bored to mow the lawn again.

Yup. They have an AI Art Generator called ‘Dream Up’ and it does exactly what you think it does.

So you can just make an account now, not caring about actually drawing or rendering anything, but you can just generate art. It’s crazy.

They’ve committed themselves to AI art, that’s how dead it is.

I remembered fond memories predating that period though. The chat room community was at once, very large. The chats still in fact exist, though, they’ve really tucked them away in a corner. Still have friends from there, still have seen so much talent come through there.

But you won’t ever tell anymore what AI is and what AI isn’t, because they’ve welcomed AI with open arms for a while. DeviantArt has truly backstabbed so many artists, without a care.

Oh and their logo is stupid as shit, looks more like an X than DA.

We’re not in the 2000s where the RIAA/MPAA spent hour after hour, individually going after individuals whom they suspect is pirating.

They’ve changed up tactics all throughout the 2010s and into today. Where, they’re holding ISPs accountable and are targeting owners of services and pirating sites instead. They’ve actually got some victories under their belt through this, which is a damn shame, so it’s telling them that it is working. Not to mention we’ve had the misfortune of dealing with ACE, their little treehouse club and lots of copyright trolls that act as copycats who take it upon themselves to operate similarly as to how they did in the 2000s.

You have far greater risk being an owner, being the uploader and being the source of pirating than you are these days, just downloading it. Your ISP decides when they want to take action against whatever files you’ve downloaded.

As people have said, your best tools are with VPNs and figuring out which VPN has your back, most importantly. That’s what pirating has come down to and that is trust.

But blah blah, we get it, the feds will say copyright is a crime and blah blah. We got that decades ago, we just don’t care because consumer rights have been thoroughly fucked over which in turn, causes us to pirate. A lesson these idiots refuse to learn.

Right after about 10 minutes of a tutorial that insults you.

“What, you don’t know how to play games? Okay, I’ll show you how to play this game after trying to educate you how to play the game”

And he was the last man too out of the three founders that helped make Sega.

Richard Stewart passed away in 2020 and Martin Bromley passed away in 2008.

Also very sad that he died on a holiday such as christmas.

I do shit on people who continue to buy this because it’s telling the companies that it is an acceptable practice for them to do.

…That you can do through emulation also.

What I’m not understanding, are the boot-lickers who’re praising the publishers for making these ROMs available on the market. Like, pirates are the ones who have been doing the archiving and preserving while video game companies kicked the can down the street for the longest time. And only recently are these compilations released, are some people going like “WOW! THEY ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PRESERVING! IT MAKES MY DICK HARD NOW!”

Like dude? These ROMs have been available for a long ass time and they weren’t because of these video game companies you’re happily throwing money down to.

People still use Internet Explorer - oh - I mean Edge?
