  • Wow, turn off your computer, you're washing your mom's electricity.

  • Bernie Sanders wades into MAGA Civil War to trash Elon Musk
  • So if any idiot "supports" a good thing for a bad reason, you have to turn against the good thing? Come on. Think.

  • Is everybody anti immigrant now because bad x man said something pro immigration? Politics is a disease. Everybody is already an anti-electric vehicle now. Y'all are dancing like puppets.

  • Trump's victory erases GOP skepticism of election results, poll finds
  • In the hypothetical world where Democrats were convinced that elections were rigged, do you suppose they would continue to complain that the elections were rigged immediately following an election where their person was elected? Elections are rigged to some degree against Democrats in full reality, though legally I guess, since gerrymandering seems to always favor Republicans... I suppose your point is that Democrats aren't going to complain about rigged elections without some concrete evidence. That may be the case, for now. The nature of the two party system means a race to the bottom. I hope I'm wrong but it feels sadly inevitable that Republican tactics will creep into Democrat election strategy. You're "We are 1000% better than the nearly inhuman and obviously stupid "them"" attitude is evidence to that degrading force.

  • I suppose you don't understand what I said. It's fine. Carry on.

  • It wouldn't make much sense for it to be. The democrats weren't the ones crying about rigged elections for 4 years... The sour milk does show a little bit there by 11%. I'm just saying that it would make no sense for the Republicans to complain about rigged elections at all at this point, even if they still believe that there is dirty dealing on anybody's part. I get that it is fun to throw jabs at Repubtards but... the acrobatics are starting to require stretchier ligaments.

  • What a nonsense poll. Any group from any party in the galaxy who has concerns about the legitimacy of elections will keep quiet if their side wins, even if they still think it's crooked.

  • Anybody had the experience of going nuts about a game?
  • Years ago, when I picked up Agricola we played it every night for months. It started me on my board game collection. Now, unfortunately, I sort of doubt that I've played half of the games I own and Agricola hasn't hit the table in a couple years... I do get Wingspan to the table quite a bit since it is a satisfying game for gamers and one that I can teach easily to non-gamers with a theme that has wide appeal. Everdale caught my fancy when my friends who live out of state bought it and we got a game in before I had to come home. I have since gotten it on steam so I haven't bothered to get the physical game.

  • Popeye and Tintin are now in the public domain
  • I suppose the theme song is quite a while out?

  • "I'm really starting to regret my vote"
  • Republicans think Trump holds conservative values because he regurgitated their speaking points. Like most politicians on any side but to an extreme level, Trump holds no values except those that he thinks will lead to more money or power for him.

  • AI needs to stop
  • I like the art... and the use as DM in RPGs looks promising.

  • Biggest Lie
  • After a 60 hours of gameplay and getting wheel of fortune most of the time it comes up, I'm pretty sure I've only succeeded twice...

  • Game of the Year 2024: Balatro [PCGamer]
  • What part has you stumped?

    Value of the hand is ranked like poker. Each hand is worth a number of chips and a multiplier. The face value of cards scored add to the number of chips. You have a set number of times you can discard per round and you use those to throw away cards and redraw trying to get a good hand. You have so many hands per round to try to reach the goal score. Everything else tweaks those variables to get higher scores per hand, which is necessary because the round goal quickly becomes impossible with the base deck and scores.

    After 30 minutes I suppose you know all that...

    After my first 30 minutes I was hooked and barely able to play anything else for the next month.

  • Air missile accident emerges as probable cause of Azerbaijan E190tragedy
  • Isn't an air missile accident called getting shot down by a missile?

  • Distro suggestions for a dumb-dumb who only knows linux through meme osmosis
  • A decade and a half ago I used Ubuntu exclusively for a couple years. I only stopped when a scanner I needed for work would only work with windows. That's still my only experience with Linux but it was pretty rewarding. I was particularly proud of getting past issues with dual screens and using a projector as my primary monitor. I imagine it's even more user friendly now.

  • Voting for the lesser evil is still evil
  • You perceive it going the opposite direction of whatever you are.

  • AI is pretty over-rated but the Anti-AI forces way overblow the problems associated with AI.

  • I wonder where people can go. Wikipedia maybe. ChatGPT is better than google for answering most questions where getting the answer wrong won't have catastrophic consequences. It is also a good place to get started in researching something. Unfortunately, most people don't know how to assess the potential problems. Those people will also have trouble if they try googling the answer, as they will choose some biased information source if it's a controversial topic, usually picking a source that matches their leaning. There aren't too many great sources of information on the internet anymore, it's all tainted by partisans or locked behind pay-walls. Even if you could get a free source for studies, many are weighted to favor whatever result the researcher wanted. It's a pretty bleak world out there for good information.

  • Balatro Dev Calls Out PEGI For "Real Gambling" Rating Hypocrisy Vs. EA Sports FC
  • I didn't realize they pegged Balatro at PEGI 18. Definitely ridiculous. Kids play poker all the time without gambling. It's a card game. I don't think there is a less objectionable game out there.
