My life forever changed when I found out you could play Mario Kart with a Nunchuk instead of the motion controls. It’s so much better.

Absolute cinema

I guess I was so caught up in the GPU shortage that went under my radar. Seemingly nothing is immune from these component shortages.

I love gas turbines! I love pollution spewing power plants reliant on a scarce natural resource! (heavy /s)

If you use a ThinkPad that has its track point designed around the assumption that middle click is used for scroll and only scroll, it will send you crazy. Thankfully KDE can disable it in most apps through a setting, but some apps keep on doing it anyway.

That is a bit odd. Maybe it doesn’t sell that well in the EU. Here in the UK pretty much all the major retailers sell them, plus the PlayStation Direct store.

The PS5 does have a media remote. It is available for sale at most retailers that stock PS5 controllers.

The old Dysons are way better than whatever the hell they’re doing nowadays. I could genuinely feel the difference in the plastic quality when I moved from an older DC 39 to a newer Big Ball (the Big Ball’s is significantly worse). Not to mention the Big Ball has gone through two roller heads (both had the mechanism break). No wonder their newer cordless models have a 2 year warranty instead of the old corded 5 year. They used to be really good, if a bit expensive, but now the options from Bosch and Miele look far more attractive.

It was so off putting when you just wanted to share something and proceeded to get struck down by the wrath of the mods, or worse, the completely opaque auto filtering CQS system. As you can probably tell from my profile, I love making memes, but only really had the courage to start when I joined Lemmy, since if I made a bad one here it would just get downvoted and I would have a chance. This place is such a breath of fresh air.

You’d be surprised at how recently the glow plug lighters were removed. I know at least a few mid 2000s VWs that came with it standard and not as part of any smoker’s package option.

From what I have heard, it is most likely the USS Hornet (CV-12, the museum ship, not CV-8), as Project Aces used it for 3D scans before the trailer came out. In addition, the museum staff sent out this tweet after the trailer came out:

There are no words to describe how badly I want the electric LFA concept at the end of the article to go into production. Sure, it’ll be crazy expensive and low volume, but considering the wizardry that went into the original LFA I think it’d end up being one of the best cars of all time.

Edited it now, and I am realising I am way out of my depth in terms of wrangling Inkscape. The post is updated, but not a lot better. Take this meme for your troubles.

Yeah, I could definitely work on that with a few tweaks here and there. I’ll probably give it a shot soon.

Need to make my decisions somehow. Simply surrender to the wisdom of the cube.

Perfect, thank you so much.

Now let’s see how you fare against my… LYSITHEA BLAST!

(Death Knight was defeated.)

Not all of Linux, but that has kind of already happened. I wish I was making this up.

I believe it says “I care not”.

£58.99 (UK price) is the same price as Legends Z-A, despite Pokopia seemingly being a smaller side game. Even if the game is good, there is no way it’s going to sell well at that price to anyone other than die-hard Pokemon fans. Persona 5 Tactica (which I really like) did the exact same thing (full game price for smaller side game) and it did not end well, copies of Tactica still linger on clearance to this day for sometimes less than 20% of the original price since a lot of the launch excitement evaporated.
