  • I’m already decided. I’m not buying GTA 6. And GTA 6 was the whole reason I bought the PS5 to begin with.

    Over the past year I’ve seen how rockstar are making moves to make GTA 6 even more of a pay to win multiplayer experience, and less focused on the $60 single player experience. All of this at a $60 or more price point to start with I’m sure.

    If you want to be pay to win, you can’t also be AAA pricepoint to buy the game. I personally don’t play pay to win games, but when you charge for the base game it goes from being a sketchy game mechanic, to being an outright scam.

    You know what I’m playing right now on PS5? Transportation Fever 2. Fuck off Rockstar. You lost me as a lifelong customer since the first GTA on PS1.












  • This is why I’m stubborn.

    I had a kidney stone. Went to the ER. They told me that department was closed for the day. I told them I wasn’t leaving because the bus ride over was absolute hell. They could either put me in a hospital room until they could treat me, or they could call the experts back into work.

    Turns out the person I was talking to was an idiot. The department wasn’t even closed. There was NO way I could have rode that bus again. Every bump was like being stabbed in the testicles by shards of glass that were INSIDE the testicles. Noooooooope. Fuck it. I’ll wait in that hospital room for 4 months before I get back on that bus!

    Me being stubborn allowed other nurses to overhear the situation, as I braced myself using the counter top. The other nurses brought me in for this thing that basically shakes your insides with soundwaves. That didn’t work, so they got the specialist in. They were able to squeeze me into their busy schedule. Then they shoved a lazor jp my urethra, and turned my insides into star wars. Pew pew pew. They used the lazor to carve the kidney stone into smaller pieces that were small enough to pass.

    And if I’d have just accepted the receptionists word, I’d have had to get on a bus again for an hour of bouncing up and down in agony.

    I have SOOOOOO many stories where me being a stubborn asshole turned out to be the right move, but that story is the only one where people shoved things up my penis.


  • I heard Zuckerberg is poop.

    Eh, not my best effort, but I’m tired. I just pushed a 600lbs man 2/3rds of a mile while he told me trump was going to save us all.

    He never clarified from what trump would be saving us from. Probably because he himself hasn’t been told yet from Fox News. Because it’s more profitable for Fox News to make vague threats in the world, never define them, but pass them off as immediate danger. That way, if they’re ever brought to court, they can truthfully claim that at no point have they ever reported the news. Instead they claim they are a fictional entertainment channel. That’s real. That happened. Fox News, under oath, openly stated that they do not report facts, and are an entertainment company. They were forced to admit under penalty of pergury, that they have as much journalistic integrity as The Onion.

    But it would be so great if there were some mark they could use, by convincing him that theres an enemy from within. Then put that man in the white house. I mean, can you imagine??? Manipulating a narcisist who happens to be the president, into doing whatever you want by feeding him, and the rest of the nation, a never ending series of lies? And as an entertainment company, you have zero obligation to report factually and objectively. Instead you can lead him down whatever path you want!!! COULD YOU IMAGINE???

    Ok. Back to reality. Zuckerberg is poop.





  • Ok, here’s what we’ll do. Trump, you stand at one end of the football field. Behind you will be a woman. I’ll charge at you, full speed. And YOU stop me.

    Now, I know it seems like the implication here is that the winner gets the woman. To do whatever they want with her. Fear not. For she is merely ceremonial and symbolic. When I run full speed, and knock trump on his ass, I’ll get MY jollies by hearing trump groan and cry, and maybe cough up blood. That’s how I’d get off. Seeing him wimper like a little bitch. Maybe the woman we choose for this can raise the arm of the victor, like a ref would do after a boxing match.

    Afterwards, the lady can go about her day, do whatever she wants. Trump can go to the hospital. And I can start a conga line, that I intend to make millions of people long. Really tour it around the city, ya know?

    Here’s a crazy fact. Take a digital only ps5 slim. Remove the cover. Insert a disc drive. Now place the ps5 slim disc version cover on.

    You now have upgraded hour digital only ps5 to the disc version of the system. And it was desibned to have interchangable covers.

    Sony is actually leaving money on the table by not selling custom colors covers, or even different designs with video game characters. They could just as easily sell them for $20 for a full system pack, or $10 for just the 1 plate, so you can mix and match colors.


  • I wouldn’t exactly call what I was complaining about my first week reposts, but I definately had system shock while I was still figuring out how things worked.

    I’d see 3 different communities, all about the same topic, and I’d subscribe to them all.

    Well, if you have 3 communities all focused on the same subject, when there’s breaking news about that subject, they’re all going to post that same news story.

    So in my feed I’d see the same url posted from 3 different instances. It’s not exactly a repost, but it feels the same.

    I still don’t know what the solution for that is. Feels less like a me problem, and more like a systems concept problem. Instead of having 3 communities with 3 users each, I feel like it’d be better to have 1 combined community with 20 users.

    Now you may be saying “heeeey, wait a second! 3+3+3 doesn’t equal 20!!!”. In which case, congrats, you passed American public school high school. But I feel like one community with more users to start with would attract more users going forward. Kind of like a snowball effect that a single split community of 3 never got the snowball rolling on.

    I like the idea of decentralized, I DON’T like the idea of fractured, and there is a difference. Right now, Lemmy feels like both.

    So you take the good, you take the bad, you roll it up, and what’dya get? The facts of life…the facts of life…
