That whole page is a meme itself.

I mean, mine does. And there only needs to be the one for my script.

Rea… ding?

Good point.

“Me writing a script that looks for my obituary, and when it finds it, sends memes from my account to my friends, until one of the random memes is a webp, python starts throwing errors in an infinite loop, it doesn’t properly reset the timer because I had that inside the try block, and the whole system crashes from an error log file eating all the hard disk space 2 days later.”

Better than I expected, tbh.

The weird date format with an X in the 10’s spot. It was a play on Mega Man’s 200X when Homestar Runner first came up with it, and now it’s an actual date format in a real game.

It’s a little obscure, but since there’s no “game memes” community, I guess this is where it goes.

Can’t give you a real clip atm, but this might suffice.

More work than I wanted to put into this, but in the interests of meme integrity, I just personally checked out Zyuranger episode 34, and yes, while it’s not a direct literal translation of the original Japanese (She doesn’t call him a baby - she just says “CRY CRY CRY!”), it’s accurate in spirit.

Rest easy. My shitpost is legitimate.

Wait… you can search a song by humming now?

I’ve been waiting for that for AGES.

Possibly. But it’s also pretty common in many instances of technology adoption that as more users come, the quality gets worse, and while open source doesn’t have to worry about a shareholder-driven profit motive driving it, it’s still easy to wind up with a muddled focus. I wouldn’t expect that Linux and all of the associated software projects that make the functional desktop are going to be an exception overall. If you’re an open source developer working on a project now, basically any user is some form of power user, and it’s easier to find consensus of what to prioritize on a project not only because Linux users tend to be better about understanding how their software works and are actually helpful in further development, they’re also likely to direct development towards features that make software more open, compatible, and useful.

Now fast forward to a future where Linux is the majority desktop OS, those power users are maybe 5% of the software’s user base, and every major project’s forum is inundated with thousands of users screaming about how hard the software is to use and, when bug reports and feature requests are actually coherent, they mostly boil down to demands for simpler, easier to understand UIs. I can easily imagine the noise alone could lead to an exodus of frustrated developers.

Some things are better for NOT trying to be the answer for everyone.

But hey, at least they’re compatible with Windows 11, right?

This is Sony’s decision. It is a material change to the product that was sold. It is not the same as a patch or a nerf. It has rendered the product unplayable. Yes, you can make the argument that it was listed on the page from the beginning that an account was required, but it is also the case that EULAs are actually not legally binding contracts. Sony has made a unilateral decision, and as a result it does not matter whether a person is finished with the game or not. This is a change to the actual contract, which was the purchase of a game to use in perpetuity for the length of time that it is available on steam. Sony has made this decision, customers don’t have to justify the reason that they don’t like the change. It is a change. They are counting on people letting it slide, because most of the time that is how businesses do business.

Also, you should really stop standing up for giant corporations. Sony doesn’t need your help. They have teams of lawyers whose job it is to argue with valve over whether they need to give refunds. They may also end up having to deal with class action lawsuits, and potential legal issues with 177 countries which may have completely different laws of consumer protection than the US. That is not your responsibility.

Besides, one of the pillars of capitalism is rational self-interest, and that goes both ways, not just in the business side. If you can get a refund for something because a company has made a bad decision about how they do their business, why do you care about whether it’s fair or not to the company? They sure don’t care about whether it’s fair to you. Are you a Sony lawyer? Are you the “be nice to big companies police”? Let Sony and Valve, and possibly the court system, worry about what their legal obligations are, and you worry about your personal decision of whether you are going to take advantage of your legal rights. Don’t start judging whether others should or shouldn’t do the same.

You are applying a standard to the game that applies to YOU. Other players who are currently playing a game do not care that you are finished playing the game. They are not. The game did not ship with a 3 month subscription plan. It shipped as a sold product. Your analogy is like an all-you-can-eat buffet where after twenty minutes they close it down and make everyone stop eating, and your argument is, “Well, I’M full. It’s fine.”

That dog wouldn’t even ask. It is CLEARLY using OSX.

Totally get you, man.

But being in the exact same boat many years down the line from you, only continue not swiping if you’re okay with eventually being completely dead inside, unable to find joy in any part of your life anymore, having difficulty leaving your own house, and plagued day in and day out with regret. If you really want to be alone, it’s fine, but the very fact you’re on Tinder at all is telling. If you really want somebody, the loneliness WILL absolutely fuck you up irreparably.

This club has plenty of empty seats. Hope you don’t end up in one.
