I know Terraflops are real and what they measure

I still refuse to believe they’re not a fake term used to fluff up tech announcements and make shit sound more powerful than it is because that’s a fucking stupid name that nobody should use

I get that everyone’s shit posting here, but the answer is that it’s believed Dr. Pepper as a name might be directly referencing an actually Dr. who lived in the area the drink was invented in, but we’re honestly not sure about that at all

Its entirely possible that it was called that because it was sold in pharmacies and was “spicy” (thus Dr. Pepper), or another alternative I’ve heard is basically that idea but it has caffeine so it meant Dr. Speed, basically

All that to say: Dr. Pepper is gender fluid, dipshits, I’ll see myself out

Fair enough, I figured being a Lemmy user was enough indication that I’m a legit Linux user that’s annoyed by this, but yeah I see what you mean

I refuse to edit it and will eat the karma as it lands, as is my fate

E: ah, someone else did basically the same joke I did but they left an obviously legit review, so mine looks like I’m making fun of them. My comment is older, or theirs went up as I made mine, but I totally see what the issue is now, mines beneath theirs and looks like sarcasm at them

I seem to have angered some people, the downvotes are almost equal with the ups lol

Its not series to anyone who thinks it is, I play on Linux because I have it, I don’t cheat. If you think I’m somehow making EA think we’re actually cheaters: they don’t read the reviews you silly goose

I’m doing my part!

Justice is blind, meaning she misses a lot

I think the hangman might have enough on his plate to allow us a little war crime or 2, as a treat

Like seriously, the game wasn’t good back then

Yes, it was, and I’m a salty cunt who doesn’t even like new games a lot of the time

You joke but blops 6 is out rn and did this on tiny maps

Its horrible and amazing at the same time

Then again, he did kill that guy too

I dunno, man, this Hitler guy seems kinda complex, how are we supposed to feel about him?!

smashing printers with baseball bats

I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:

They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.

Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.

What the fuck is wrong with printers

Oh it’s for sure a trip, I fucking loved MGS but I have yet to actually finish DS, despite reading up on the lore and loving that I figured out some of the big twists before episode 3 by sheer Kojima pattern recognition

Its a dense game that’s surprisingly taxing on your brain as you move around, then it slaps you with deeply metaphorical bullshit while your burnt out to confuse you extra

Nah, that’s not the insane rush, that’s actually a really chill first mission to help you get into the swing of them

The opening where you run down a big hill and then a cutscene where a bunch of shadow creatures attack and kill some guys really horribly and then a big explosion goes off and kills your character but the baby in his throat stops sucking it’s thumb so he can be reborn

“Get the presidents body the fuck out of here” makes perfect sense and looks tame as shit after THAT

that affects these callous trash humans who think its okay to kill women to protect a potential human

I want them to lose their license

You’re mad at one group of people so you want to punish a different group?

Nah, i’ll use it for the games that refuse to enable anticheat, and I’ll use the LTSC version whether Microsoft likes it or not

Respecting terms of service is for chumps

No, though I get what you mean, I locked eyes with this woman as my ass came off the seat and she death gripped the cart, I think she might legitimately have been momentarily worried about hitting her head on the ceiling and breaking her neck (had a friend be a hostess and she said the training absolutely mentions that)

As soon as they were touching the floor again they moved as fast as they could to their area, locked it down, and strapped in hard, and the captain yelled in Japanese over the intercom for a couple minutes before finally translating in English that we were fine, clearly freaked out

I know planes are safe but that experience at 1am over the pitch black Pacific ocean occasionally flashes back to me when I’m on planes because holy shit what the FUCK happened

Do you want there to be no doctors available to help people in Texas? Because doctors ignoring the laws of where they are and ending up losing their license or being jailed just means less doctors

Lol, no it’s not
