I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Because despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:

It’s a decent game but a terrible one if you are comparing it to the original Overwatch.

This is the second time I’ve seen someone say this. Tenacious D is not broken up. Where are you getting this information?

Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.

I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:

Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrixquestions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.

It’s likely because the Quest runs Android and we already have Android ports of San Andreas, which would have expedited things theoretically.

I had one too. My ex and I are on great terms. It makes for some fun moments when we can joke about our divorce and make people uncomfortable.

Damn I thought I was doing good having the 3 frozen. Good to know that new ones can just sprout up like that.

Garry isn’t even technically building an engine from scratch, right? I thought S&box is heavily modified Source 2.

Someone on Lemmy did a markdown test of all existing Lemmy apps and posted the results. Raccoon was one of the worst performers, and after seeing the results the dev went nuclear.

Here’s a comment on the original post talking about it. I think the thread’s OP ended up removing Raccoon from their results but the damage was already done.

They should open up the consoles to have the ability to run full versions of Windows, I bet that would boost sales a little bit.

The Nitronic Rush soundtrack is some really awesome techno. It feels very Tron-esque at times.

Society isn’t ready for that

Lemmy hates Meta but honestly the Quest 3 is a fantastic headset. I use mine semi-regularly for wireless Steam VR.

The FTC is specifically pissed that Microsoft was allowed to acquire Activision and then this price increase happened. It flies in the face of all the shit MS said wouldn’t happen to get the merger approved.
