Palworld ditches Pokéball-style summoning mechanic amid Nintendo legal battle
  • I do wonder if the steam deck exists in this alternate timeline you propose

  • Palworld ditches Pokéball-style summoning mechanic amid Nintendo legal battle
  • Lame. Thanks, Nintendo. Got forbid you actually try to outcompete.

  • Have you ever being caught in a "It's not what it looks like!" Moment by someone?
  • Reminds me of one time I was visiting my wife’s (then girlfriend’s) friends. I had a little too much whiskey and when that happens I sometimes sleepwalk. Apparently I got up to go to the bathroom, went into the primary’s bathroom instead of the hallway one, peed in their toilet (oh thank god I went in the toilet), and then proceeded to attempt to get into bed with my wife’s friend and his girlfriend.

    I awoke in an extremely confused state to the friend patting me on the back saying “come on buddy, let’s get you to bed”. We still laugh about it; that friend ended up being the officiant at our wedding! He gracefully left that story out of the ceremony.

  • Jet shaming, I thought we moved past this in 2024???
  • It’s a illustration of the McDonnell Douglas Model 226. It was a prototype stealth aircraft from the 70’s that didn’t go anywhere as DARPA chose the precursor to the F-117 instead.

  • Syrians flock to morgues looking for loved ones who perished in Assad's prisons
  • Habbal, a Syrian who had been living in Saudi Arabia since 2003, returned to Damascus in mid-2024 to visit his family, his brother said. He was arrested by the Syrian military police six months ago on charges of evading military service.

    With trembling hands, Imad Habbal lifted the covering, his voice breaking as he wept and spoke to his brother.

    “I told you not to come,” he said. “I wish you didn’t come.”

    Heartbreaking.

  • I think of safety scissors vs adult scissors whenever I see them side by side

  • Confusing encounter. Did I misunderstand something, or did this person call me a bigot for mentoining China and North Korea have committed atrocities?
  • No I think they’re putting words in OP’s mouth because I recall some drama where Blahaj members accused sh.itjust.works of being a transphobic instance

  • Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s across UK
  • Care to elaborate on the safety risks there, Wes?

  • Suicide bombing kills Taliban minister Khalil Haqqani
  • Russia sure is desperate for friends

  • Syrian rebels had help from Ukraine in humiliating Russia
  • My concern is that Russia is going to wine and dine the incoming Syrian government in order to keep their port access. Hopefully the Syrians will tell them to kick rocks on account of all the years of terror bombing dished out to them by the Kremlin

  • Static-X- Bien Venidos/Get to the Gone
  • I found them thanks to a promo mix cd I got from the 2002 X Games in Philly. There was so much good music on there, but Get to the Gone was the standout for me.

  • Suicide bombing kills Taliban minister Khalil Haqqani
  • Sometimes the trash takes out the trash

  • Static-X- Bien Venidos/Get to the Gone
  • RIP Wayne, you helped me get into heavy music

  • Anon hears a noise
  • Anon should get a new one. Plenty of animals in need of a good home

  • can you be pure of heart again? if you've done bad things but became a better person?
  • Then again, if you’re striving for it, you’re probably doing better than most

  • US Americans, what is your favorite part of the country?
  • I love the Jersey shore, especially going down to Asbury Park for an outdoor concert at the Stone Pony. I usually make a day of it and hang out on the beach for a couple of hours, then I grab a bite to eat on the boardwalk and maybe a couple of beers before walking right across the street to the venue. What’s really cool is there’s a couple of spots on the boardwalk you can see the stage from for free. At the very least you can hear the show free of charge, even if you’re too late for a free view.

  • New Jersey becomes latest state to prohibit bans on books
  • Probably not, seeing as that is also a book. Making Dugin’s ideas harder to find doesn’t fix anything anyway, challenging them on the merits does.

  • Seeing Saquon with wings is something I can get used to

    Phone controller for Portrait orientation

    In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several benefits to a clip on controller for portrait mode. Pinball games, Tetris, and DS games all play best in portrait mode. Plus, a portrait mode controller would be close to the original gameboy in terms of form-factor.

    Anyone else looking for something like this? Have I missed a product that’s out there? Maybe once I get a 3D printer I can cannibalize a Bluetooth controller and experiment.
