An explained joke might lose its funny in the moment

But you also ensure future jokes riffing on similar ideas will land better. ;)

I don’t get it

And I am glad it works for all of you

My eyes just glaze over really fast.

Grand Theft Auto

The whole concept is profoundly uninteresting to me

And I feel there is a fundamental tension between the enjoyable part of the games (Over-the-top city chaos with lots of explosions, often aided by cheats) and what the games WANT to be (serious crime dramas I think?)

I am Root!

Column A, Column B

The trick is to introduce your kid to your taste in gaming while they’re young

And then when they are in their tweens and want to game online with their mates, you set them up for it (with proper supervision and such, of course)

And they WILL develop their own taste in gaming – But they will have some common ground with you still.

… It worked for me and my dad (avid PC gamer, mostly plays strategy games and management sims though) anyway. Years later I convinced him to get Civ V and he completely destroyed me in it.

I always wonder where are the mothers of these shitty young men?

Like.

If I even thought of going into a misogynistic phase during my younger years, my mother would have put me in my place, yanno?

Are anglo mothers less sprited than latin american mothers?

How the turntables

Nintendo called the 2d graphics chips on the NES and SNES the “PPU” (picture processing unit)

What is it with Lemmy and terrible-quality ragebait today?

First the guy on nostupidquestions trying to say arguing in bad faith was based actually

Now you

Did the threadiverse afoul of some discord server where awful teens hang out?

My knees and back are fine

My wrists and fingers are war veterans

Yeah. I looked down at my wang and there was just a black bar.

I’m old enough to remember when these were called ‘Accelerator Cards’.

I used both for a while there… But ehn, haven’t touched my Reddit account in 3 years.

Too many nazis, and besides, Reddit’s main appeal (mentioned in the thread: Reddit has a more diverse demographic as compared to only nerds here on Lemmy) doesn’t really call to me because I’m Lemmy’s demographic to a T, a Linux-loving left-wing queer nerd.

Some of those that work forces

are…

… not the same that burn crosses this time!!!

Yeah I admire Greta, but anyone who’s been paying attention had to know this would eventually happen.

Punch enough knife-tips and you’ll get cut. Greta wouldn’t shut up and wouldn’t sell out, now she’s going to die a lot.

Better than the _🎵Juice That Makes Your Head Explode🎵 _

When you’re god’s most perfect killing machine but you also fit inside the palm of a hand and people make kissy noises at you.

A pentium 100 shitbox hand built by my ol dad

This was well into the pentium II era of PC mind

Brand written big

What the product is written super tiny

If I could enshrine 1(one) regulation into law it would be to reverse that.

Resale. The reason is resale. Between the economy being trashed, planned obsolescence, and cultural shifts. People buy things not really expecting to keep them for very long, and the less individual something is, the easier to sell it on to someone else later.
