  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • I was on pop for a while! It was cool.

    Why does the pop shop suck though? Why?? Why is it so slow, why does it crash so much? Why is this such a problem with so many users? It wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back, it was more like an unnecessary brick the camel had to carry.

  • Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now

    Jump

  • ...or MY AXE!!

  • What are some cool things to put on a 32gb flashdrive?

    Jump

  • Counter Strike Source and other old school LAN games.

    Then invite friends over and pass the drive around so they can all install games and you can have a LAN party.

  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

  • Yeah, it's written in English, which is read left to right.

  • It bothers me that the graphic lists red-then-blue but there text lists blue-then-red. It's inconsistent to how we read the information and makes it confusing to process.

    ...like gerrymandering

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

    Jump

  • I love shattered PD!!!

  • Arrrrr! Welcome Aboard The Good Ship Matey 🏴‍☠️

  • I don't understand this.

    If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There's more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it's something I've seen before them I'm rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it's good enough that it'll rope me in.

    Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it's not pulling you in? It's just background noise? Then why isn't it a podcast or something?

    If you're ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you're not in? It feels... like something just above brainrot. Like it's not rotting you, but either it's not engaging or it's just background noise (with an unused visual component)

  • Which riddle / puzzle / intelligence game I can play only with my phone?

    Jump

  • Simple Solitaire Collection has lots of different solitaire variants. No riddles, but you do have to think a lot. "Napoleon's Tomb" and "Simple Simon" are two interesting variants I learned about from this game. (Simple Simon has simple rules but can be incredibly hard.)

    Free, no ads, no dark patterns.

    Jump

  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good, well polished, roguelike. It may be on the fringes of your request, it's not really a "puzzle" game, but you do need to think a lot to weigh your options constantly.

  • 2048 will burn at least an hour. It's free, there are tons of clones.

  • Nintendo is restricting the Switch 2's USB-C port — most third-party docks and accessories won't work thanks to proprietary protocols

    Jump

  • IMO, everything has to do with piracy.

    Ever since the r4 for the DS spring boarded Nintendo piracy, every single console they've released since then has been ripped open and has had very easy-to-use tools developed for it to make it really, really, easy to put pirated games on. You can buy a flashcard from amazon with DS games on it. You can mod a 3ds in 15 minutes. You can play switch games on the steam deck.

    They hate this. They want to do everything they can to lock down their systems and prevent this.

    On the Wii (or maybe it was 3ds or Wii U) when updating, you used to get a notification "...this update will also check for unauthorized material and remove it." Now they're simply saying it there's unauthorized stuff they're not going to account for it and let things break (or force it to break)

    Now they're locking down the usb-c port, again making it harder to crack the console. They failed with every console this far, so now they're trying something different.

    In the long run it may get cracked eventually. But for now, like denuvo, it delays piracy.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

    Jump

  • close enough.

  • What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

    Jump

  • Kleenex, tissue. Band aid, bandage. Xerox, copy. IPad, tablet (some people call their android tablets iPads) Plucker, flosser.

    It's not really that bad. Some are even shorter:

    Google, search. Invisalign, retainer.

    Some are iffy:

    Sharpie, permanent marker. (You could just say marker, depending on if you have any other markers in the house to disambiguate from.)

    And some are definitely shorter as brand names:

    Q-tip, cotton swab Velcro, hook and loop Sawzall, reciprocating saw

    (And if there was a shorter name for "oscillating multi tool" I would be so happy.)

    I can't think of any others.

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • It's all terminology and labels.

    Do you belong to a theology? No? Then you're an atheist. But that label has a stigma, so some opt for a different label.

    Are you gnostic? No? Then you're agnostic. No one talks about gnosticism out of religeon or philosophy, so they know what you mean. But the subjects of gnosticism and theism are two different things.

    But it also feels oversimplified when I put it that way, since these things a less black and white and fall more on a spectrum.

    That said, do you play golf? No? Then you may also be an a-golfer, an a-tee-ist.

    Which label you chose may be based on how much the stigma bothers you or how much of a troll you are.

  • All right music fans, what's your favorite band/musician and how many times have you seen them live?

    Jump

  • Thank you for introducing me to Propaghandi, this band ROCKS.

  • What's your phone lock screen?

    Jump

  • Treasure planet??

  • Mastodon Myths

    Jump

  • That last line is why I shared it with others who have no idea what half the things it's referencing are.

  • What is a great activity/thing, that is not actively advertised?

    Jump

  • Walking around the neighborhood.

    It's good exercise, you can meet your neighbors, and sometimes you can pick up something someone is throwing away that's in good condition.
