  • I'm guessing the varied game prices for Switch 2 games of $60-80 make it hard to have that one size fits all voucher price.

  • I assume it had to do with the parents being supporters too.

  • The bundles have been pretty lackluster for a while now. Will this increase their quality?

    i doubt it, but let's see.

  • I've never heard of it but am interested now because of that image. What did you like about it?

  • This feels entirely manufactured by people who are neither bi nor pan.

  • Regarding a power source, we only use it within Aperture, so it might be powered through some kind of induction charging in the walls.

  • screw the rules, I have money

    my hair gives me super strength

  • Like with what happened to Kbin, I think it's great that we have 3 ongoing projects doing roughly the same thing. So if one is them dies out, we can just swap to the others. As a user invested in the threadverse, I think this is a net positive.

  • I think trans people are a popular target because they specifically threaten the patriarchy. That trans people exist muddies the line clearly drawn line that fascists have drawn between men and women that put men on top as powerful and women as inferior and subservient. If a trans person can cross that line, then maybe men and women really aren't that different, and that's an unacceptable reality for them.

  • I've not heard of CachyOS, but to capture 2.54% of the steam linux market feels significant. It jumped right past other established Arch-based distros like Endeavor and Manjaro.

  • This game could have easily been another Marvel Rivals. An absolute success using its strong IPs in a game type that is underrepresented. There's no other big name doing Smash Bros style combat, and definitely not outside of Nintendo's platform. The elements were all there to make this a successful game, but they completely blew the execution.

  • I always put an avatar where I can. It gives me a sense of individuality in a sea of unknowns.

  • What if Vampirism is a bacterial infection and it makes the wielder drink blood because that is what sustains the bacteria. I think I'm just imagining Parasite Eve again, but with bacteria in place of mitochondria.

  • Mercury bears love them. You not so much.

  • When I unfreeze myself, will the 93 cents in my bank account accrue interest and give me over 1 billion dollars?

  • When you learn what you thought was a yes or no question, is actually multiple choice. You didn't even understand the question but foolishly stood your ground to answer it.

  • They need to develop an intelligence dampener, aka, a Wheatley

  • Farnsworth Voice:
    Good news everyone! We have a delivery of Samples to Test 14, the testing planet. A hazardous world of unregulated science and mad experiments where you will surely be killed. Well, off you go.

  • Picture you have two cake ingredient sets parsed out. Now you bake them. You will get two almost identical cakes, but they will still end up slightly different.

    That's the same with twins and growing up. Same blueprints, but the environment factors, while similar, caused minor changes along the way.

  • Google Pixel @lemmy.world

    Is getting a Pixel 8 worth it, now?

    I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
    It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
    I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

    Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

    EDIT (Dec24):
    Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends
