Yeah there’s definitely an element to the flavor that seems like something artificial that you aren’t supposed to eat… like you plucked a piece of rubber off of something and put it in your mouth lmao
No it didn’t, or I would have held off regardless I just wanted to wait for my tax refund to be a bit cozier, but I had the money… just didn’t want to end up spending a lot more lol
I was wanting to wait a while longer on the Retroid Pocket 5 for financial reasons, but the tariffs spooked me that something like this might happen or the price would go way up so I ended up buying one a couple days ago just in case
Ive never been able to explain it to people. I don’t quite understand it myself. But the analogy is accurate and I agree
Okay but, hear me out—are we not going to look back one day and feel that it was really fucking weird that we had a cop show dedicated entirely to rape? Maybe I’m thinking about it all wrong but that seems exploitative in a weirdly fetishistic way
That’s my fetish
Yeah if that’s really what this is then it’s really weird and unnecessary… what’s wrong with just subtitles and/or voiceover for the hearing impaired? What is the point of making it look like he’s speaking English?
I had no idea that he wrote any horror… but that’s a pretty cool story
Actually his name was Satan, not Tom
/s
I’m sure it’s good OP, and that’s what matters. However
I wouldn’t mind if it doesn’t feature Mulder and Sculley at all, and has a much smaller focus on aliens, and less mytharcs. Either way I like the idea of new characters and new stories. There a lot of more recent material in technology to delve into as great potential for exploring a lot of newer social norms, lifestyles, gender identities, internet cultures, ideologies, and more through a supernatural lens
Honestly I wouldn’t say that they are extremely sexually liberal, just that their very niche pornography culture is over-represented in western media while actually being very looked down upon by their actual society itself
It’s the concept of a foreign party stealing/defacing a cultural treasure and a national icon. To some it probably feels offensive in a personal way with that classic flavor imperialist cultural appropriation. Which I can see the argument for, even if I do think it’s overly focused on a single episode instead of the greater AI issues at hand
Yeah it’s a relief. On your point though I would be surprised if they literally thought he was dead up until that point
God dammit you beat me to it
Okay so fuck rich people destroying the planet with private air travel—however, he was still statistically more likely to die from driving that day. And so was his daughter and the other innocent kids on that flight
I mean this happens all the time in black and other minority communities, has even been on the news several times over the last few years, and literally nothing happens. I guess he just pissed off the wrong white family with enough resources or pull to do something about it. It’s terrible what happened to this guy but it’s been equally tragic every time it happened to a non-white person, and it’s unfortunate that this gets so more coverage
Like what?
Most Comparable Headset To Kingston HyperX Cloud II’s in 2025?
Hi all. My headset recently broke and I was wondering what the best headset with a mic yall would recommend for under $100? Preferably less than $70 if possible. I don’t have a ton of money to spend right now so I’m just looking for something basic to chat with my friends on discord or while playing games on Ps5, Pc, and Steam Deck. I had ordered a used pair of (Kingston Model) HyperX Cloud II’s, but they sent me the wrong model (which I’m returning) and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the HP model. So what would you say is the most similar to that quality in 2025?
Also I don’t post much on Lemmy (or Reddit previously) so I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place—so if there is a better place to post this please let me know
PS5 Pro Equivalent Build?
I’ve been wanting to build a Pc for a while now and had been hoping to build one with better specs than the ps5. Now that we know what to expect from the PS5 pro as well as the price ($700) I’m curious what a similar or somewhat superior pc build would cost and what kind of parts I would want to look at? I know you can’t make something that’s going to perform exactly the same but I’m curious regardless. Honestly I’ll probably be going higher-end than that (~$1500 range) but it seems like a good starting point.
