To see all Oaken Tower players have their computer mice overheat when playing that game. To the point where an hour of playing it would make their mice unusable.

Totally genie like behavior. I love it.

He releases the Epstein Files, unredacted, and maybe they Washington Commanders will change their name back.

In fact, until he does, I vote they change their name to the Washington Epsteins!

Well, since music is out of the question, it’s always possible to do things like finding old games you like online through places like MyAbandonware and attempting to burn them to a CD/DVD and seeing if they work. Not as convenient as just using something like DOSBox, but definitely rewarding in my opinion.

Maybe not on the main channels I tend to watch on yt, but there’s one who I have pretty much completely stopped watching ( GrayStillPlays ) because I just wasn’t as interested anymore. I come back one day recently to check out a Universe Sandbox video he just posted that day and the second he started asking I think it was chatgpt something about a little laser pointer, IIRC, I immediately noped out of the video.

I ain’t supporting him if he’s just gonna use an “AI” LLM to get the info he wants. I could at least, before LLMs became the big bubble they are, look past him just casually asking g••gle using the shitty voice assistant thing because it’s whatever, but can’t for “AI” LLMs.

Regardless of whether or not it’s truly happening, can you say “Dystopia”?

Regardless of what country does it, I will absolutely call every country that replaces all humans with robo workers for mundane jobs like that dystopian.

Well, for Lemmy, I jumped because of the r•dd•t 3rd party API fiasco. Haven’t looked back since.

As for the Fediverse in general, I never really used mainstream social media ( yt not included that list in my opinion) besides r•dd•t. So, I figured I’d try Mastodon and it’s pretty alright.

Also, don’t really know much about Matrix, so I don’t use it.

Faygo. Specifically either red pop or cotton candy. There used to be a single gas station at basically the far edge of town that sold it and nobody else had any Faygo whatsoever. Then at one point, a little convenience store right across from my favorite movie theater started carrying it when a new store took over. It’s real nice on the rare occasion I have it.

Perfect use for that old “This Person Doesn’t Exist” website.

I haven’t heard that one, or if I have it’s been long enough that I don’t remember it.

For posts specifically, more juvenile ass, vagina, dick joke/image type posts.

For comments, I tend not to downvote because I normally don’t find a point.

Either that, or by some strange twist of fate is a fan of that show. Either theory sounds easily plausible to me, though.

This is gonna sound like a pretty weird train of thought, but I cannot listen to that Pharrell Williams song “Happy” because I’m my brain has forever connected it to the time I had some bad pea salad from a local place, which completely ruined both of them for me. Every time I hear it, even in my own head, my stomach starts churning a little and I eventually start to feel like I wanna throw up. Thankfully that song has died and I hope to god nobody ever revives it.

Fair enough.

Now we wait for the death toll to skyrocket as every other company follow suite.

For now, a fix that works for me on that has been just restarting my phone. Probably a very temporary solution that yt is working on preventing from working, but at least it works.

This is why I use things like Newpipe on my phone or FreeTube on my desktop/laptop. Why deal with a massive headache when I can bypass the agitator?

This is definitely a time I will 100% gladly gatekeep anime. If gen “AI” is used I will 100% say anyone “working” on it isn’t part of that industry and is nothing but a pathetic loser not worthy of a job in any real anime company.

Similar sentiments to short form anime. Also towards people who watch either.

I’ll stick with what I’ll be calling real anime if that future becomes the new normal.

Old man screaming at the cloud in the sky and in the server.

If I got new speakers, better quality ones than the ones for my old RCA thing or the ones in my Bria radio CD player thing, or even my beats headphones, I’d have a hard time choosing an album. Would probably go with whatever I’m in love with at the moment. Currently that’s a 3 way tie between R.E.M.'s Out of Time, Alice in Chains Jar of Flies, and New Radicals Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed. Would struggle to lick between those 3.

As for individual songs, I got a couple I’m currently absolutely in love with that I’d love to play on very high quality speakers:

Deafening - The Nixon Rodeo ( emotionally hard rock, at least I think so )

OR

Someday We’ll Know - New Radicals ( for some reason this just became my absolute favorite New Radicals song immediately after hearing it once on CD )

From what I’ve heard, it’s nothing but over glorified TTS that strips all form of actual emotion in the voice of whoever is speaking.
