Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch
  • I bet they will do this. I remember they did this with Twilight Princess as well.

  • TEKKEN 8 - Yoshimitsu Reveal & Gameplay Trailer
  • Look at him go, that’s my boy Yoshimitsu!

  • Switch update 17.0.0 bricked my console
  • This is one of those rare cases where Nintendo could fix your console for free or give you a replacement. You should contact customer service, they’re usually very friendly and helpful. Good luck 🙂

  • Why does salty water taste so bad when salty food tastes so good?
  • The perception of saltiness in food and water can vary due to how it interacts with other flavors. Salty foods often have a balance of salt that enhances the overall taste experience. Conversely, salty water can taste unpleasant because the salt can overpower your water’s flavor by itself, making it less enjoyable. Unless you mean sea water though, that has a lot more stuff in it.

  • I couldn't believe my eyes

    When I first saw the book I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, it wasn’t until the chime started that I realized what I was looking at. Anyone else excited?! I’m looking forward to this one. It’s been too long…

    Attack At Dawn by Jacek Yerka
  • Holy crap, a rare look at a pre-historic Cars universe. Good find.

  • Banana gun?
  • So you're interested in a device that can juice a banana with a trigger? Amateur.

    First off, we'd need three key parts:

    1. An Impactor- This could be like a hammer or a piston. It'll whack or squeeze the banana to get the juice out.

    2. A Reservoir- This is basically a fancy word for a cup or container that's going to catch all that delicious banana juice.

    3. A Trigger- The thing you're going to pull, press, or smack to get this whole operation going.

    Now, here's how it would work: you pull the trigger, which gets our impactor moving (maybe it releases a spring, or maybe you're doing the pushing). The impactor then exerts a force onto the banana. Think of the banana like a squishy tube full of semi-liquid stuff (it's a bit like that, right?). When you squeeze or hit it, the pressure inside increases.

    This pressure change, thanks to our good friend Pascal's Principle, is distributed equally within the banana, causing the squishy inside part (the mesocarp) to be under a lot of pressure. It reacts just like any other semi-fluid thing under pressure - it wants out!

    If the impactor's hit is strong enough, it could burst the banana's skin (exocarp), which means an exit for the juice. This juice will try to take the easiest route out, which should ideally be into our reservoir. You'd want to engineer the system in such a way (think chutes or funnels) to make sure that you get as much of that sweet, sweet banana juice as possible.

    A lot of factors will affect how well this works, like how ripe the banana is, how fast and strong the impactor is, and how well the trigger sets things in motion.

    So yeah, it's doable. Not sure how practical or necessary, but definitely doable!

  • Is Crypto Finally Dead?
  • You know, it's somewhat ironic when you take a step back and look at it. The entire premise of cryptocurrency was built on the foundation of decentralization. Yet here we are, gravitating towards centralized exchanges en masse. It's like we've veered completely off course. The allure of profit seems to have eclipsed our memory of the fundamental ethos behind crypto. It feels as though we've witnessed the death of the original crypto vision. Quite a bitter pill to swallow, isn't it? Yeah, I’d say it’s dead.

  • Tremolo or hardtail?
  • I also own a guitar with a tremolo, similar to yours. However, I don't use it much as it often goes out of tune. Many online suggestions propose using a digital pedal for the effect you want. I agree with this - it saves you from the hassle of constant retuning. So, my advice is to get a pedal for the effect, and then pick a guitar that you really like. I hope this is helpful!

    One thing I wish they had fixed...
  • Just having favorites for anything would have been nice. Imagine setting favorite items for the quick menus 🤯

  • Huge Zonaite Rock Formation
  • Ooo I might have to go check this one out! Thanks!

  • So, what do you think about Lemmy/kbin so far?
  • That’s what I’m using and I also recommend it 🙂

  • Redditors migration is impossible if they're recommended hundreds of alternatives (see link)
  • Perhaps, experienced users of the suggested website could create posts that recommend it or its alternatives and provide explanations on how they function. This would help people better understand and determine if they find it appealing. Like you said, a list doesn’t help that much.
