I was browsing for new restaurants in my area and someone unaffiliated with the restaurant had uploaded AI images of food. Like WTF?

They honestly don’t look good to me at all. Burnt bun, not enough lettuce, the cheese is wrong, the meat looks way over. Not sure this guy even put pickles.

I explained this to my kid too. When I played like a decade ago there was like 1/3rd of what there is in the game now. I played Minecraft, but it’s basically like a sequel now.

I generally don’t keep mine installed all the time, but I keep one on hand just in case.

I take mine into the shower occasionally. Generally just to finish a reply or finish reading something. My phone is 4 years old and is 100% fine.

As an artist, anything you do like two weeks prior looks like shit to you. You’re constantly making tiny improvements and noticing things you’d change. You keep improving, so you look back and see all the things that are “wrong” even if it’s better than 99.9% of all humans in the history of the world.

I basically detested the whole game. The core loop is just sneak and loot trash. Carry trash to extraction where someone will try to grief you. The guns felt meh. The AI voice thing was just weird.IDK if there was a story in there, but after 5-6 hours I was completely over it. Even with PvE I have no interest in the game itself because at its core it just felt like a shit version of fallout.

They’re cool, but as others have pointed out the roms that are pre installed are generally junk. They’ll pack thousands of NES roms because they’re small, and maybe a handful of PlayStation games. The SD cards provided will also be junk tier and need to be replaced because they will fail.

The r36s is a great entry point, it’s cheap but has a large community so there’s lots of guides to make flashing a new OS and even curated rom packs. It’s far from perfect, but for $50ish all in and two hours of tinkering it gets the job done.

Even on consoles like the ps1 the games that chased “cutting edge” graphics look so much worse than games that had distinct art styles.

Don’t forget flagging original artwork as AI generated. Nothing like having your art stolen, then the thief claiming yours is fake.

I could see it in the thumbnail on my phone. It was so obvious I spent another minute staring at the foreground of the photo looking for an actual hidden speed bump lol. Different story in a vehicle moving 25+ when you’re not specifically told to look for it though.

Spray paint a dick on it and it’ll be repainted within a week

Ads suck hard, but avoiding them was just one of the plethora of advantages of early streaming. Early Netflix had what felt like infinite content, on demand, for a fraction of the price of cable. That’s why the majority of cord cutters ditched cable; price. Avoiding ads was definitely a factor but it was hardly the main one for most of us.

The modern streaming industry has embraced ads in a way that feels somehow grimier than cable because the ads are targeted and we all know it’s greed that’s put them there.

Streaming killed cable though? Streaming was so good and reasonably priced I had no good reason to pirate. Now the streaming services are more jam packed with ads and as expensive as cable was, so it’s back to the high seas for me matey.

I’ve never been in a house with a conversation pit, almost no Americans have actually seen one. They’re a leftover from the 60s and 70s when people were high on coke or “weight loss” pills.

Millennial here. I just remodeled my kitchen and bathroom. It was a fucking battle to get my wife to agree to wood cabinets instead of bland white or millennial blue. I got her to agree to a deep sea blue tile for one shower wall because almost everything else in the bathroom was white or grey.

Most people don’t have originality or any sense of color, so they look online and see these sterile white rooms that photograph well but lack character. They just mimic what they see because it’s easier than having actual preferences.

I’m in a similar situation. It looks really fun but I struggle to make it past the first few days.

There’s a painful learning curve that needs a way more comprehensive tutorial to overcome.

A lot of us are pretty far left for the USA and believe the DNC is compromised by corporate money. I dislike the Democrats but the GOP is run by MAGA who I believe betrayed our country Jan 6th.

Saying shit like this is almost certainly why I’m on the list lol

“pressing enter” so a keyboard is still needed?

How could they lie like this?

They wanna see where the floor is. Like how dumb can you actually make them?

A lot of people live in apartments or have kids. While I enjoy being able to listen to loud explosions and quiet whispers, it can make movie watching experiences miserable.
