Could be worse, there’s a couple cars I’ve seen around town that look like this. Literally only room for the driver, but visibility is gonzo

A great example of this is Halo.

The Flood is a horrible body horror parasite that transforms your body and invades and consumes your mind, your thoughts and your memories. It’s corruption based on revenge of the Precursors for the Forerunner’s war against them out of petty anger. The original trilogy shows this off well, and acts like a horror game when you’re getting swarmed from all angles by them.

343 era games are like “bad guys are robots, Flood too scary and gorey we removed them.” All for that lower Teen rating just to sell more copies to a broader audience. They remove the bloodiness and the gore. Hell, you could make a lake of Covenant and human blood in CE. Now you might get a couple splashes of blood to not tip that ESRB scale.

Pathetically watered down in many other aspects, but this was one that always bothered me.

I just bought a 2x8GB DDR4-3200 kit of G.skill Ripjaws at Microcenter for $59.99 on Oct 19th. The same set is currently on sale for $89.99 and original price is $119.99. Absolutely wild, I hope I don’t have any RAM die in the near future. I do have a spare kit of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 somewhere so I guess I’m safe on that front, but I feel bad for anyone currently or planning to build a new system.

Sorry I placed that oddly, I meant the constant crosswalks are great, not the highways.

Wait until they find out about speed bumps, stop lights and cross walks across highways in Brazil.

Yes that’s real, you go from 100kph to 25kph with speed bumps and speed cameras that will absolutely ticket your ass if you’re 1kph over the limit. BR-101 in Paraíba goes through many small towns that do this, it’s great for pedestrians since the highway cuts directly though the heart of these towns but terrifying if drivers don’t pay attention. Also these speed bumps aren’t always clearly marked so rip your suspension at night

All that inflated value from circular trading with Open AI, Oracle, etc sure is looking good on paper for them, and will definitely allow Jensen another few dozen leather jackets.

Can’t wait for this shit to burst, and it will be a very big burst when it happens

It’s not 343, most of that leadership has left or fired. It’s Halo Studios now, game runs UE for graphics and the Blam! engine underneath for AI and everything else.

If you want a CoD game, pretty much any CoD up through Black Ops 2 is still decent, but only if Activision actually let’s the game go “on sale”. Halo games have a fantastic story (up until 5 at least) and the Master Chief Collection is usually on sale for $10.

This was a week ago during the nor’easter, dumb idea to fly that small plane in the winds we had that weekend

They have a 30 day trial yeah, you can also move your playlists over as well.

Also, Halo 3 custom games with full lobbies and super creative customs. Honestly, just Halo 3 in general

"We have carefully reviewed the European Commission’s Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and Meta won’t be signing it.

No, you probably had your Meta AI ✨ read it and summarize it for you in like 3 bullet points because you losers put so much faith in your stupid overhyped hallucinating chatbots. I’m not in the EU but I hope this means they can’t operate it there and free you EU citizens from that garbage.

When I flew back from Brazil last year to Orlando, almost the entire plane was families with kids, a lot of which were wearing Disney merch. I bet that flight will soon be much less full as $250 is currently almost R$1,400 per person. R$5,500 additional for a family of 4 is a LOT of money in Brazil.

To be fair, the “gallon size” you see in the meme is 90% ice, 9% milk and 1% “coffee.” Dunks is selling plastic cups with ice for over $5.

Carburetor cleaner kills wasps on contact, since we always had old cars growing up and lived in the sticks we also always got wasp nests. I still keep some around just in case. I don’t even own a car with a carburetor anymore. They get a good distance of spray too for added safety when dealing with them.

House I used to own was built in 1958, but the house I’m currently renting an apartment in was built in 1890. The apartment itself was added in 2020, and I’m it’s first tenant.

Yeah lots of houses super old around here, especially at the old mills area. My buddy lives in Uxbridge near one of the lakes, funny enough I’m a few towns away. Small world, Lemmy.

No, see, there won’t be another console, so Phil will be CEO until death (of Xbox or himself)

That was confirmed a while ago actually

Bro was given instructions and a location like a Skyrim quest
