I have two MegaBoom 2’s—one is a complete champ, the other has very short battery life at this point.

They both work for my needs—the short battery one is in my bathroom and I leave it plugged in now.

The other one just floats around the house and gets a decent amount of use from my kids, who may or may not be slightly older than the speakers themselves.

The fact that they both work and only one has noticeably degraded battery life is surprising.

Pretty sure that’s just Niko Belic.

I loved these games back in the day.

My memory might be a bit fuzzy, but I seem to recall an old Easter egg or mod or something that allowed you to fire NPCs out of an RPG—it was about the funniest thing I had experienced in a video game up to that point.

What time was this taken?

I bet that will be his playbook if Joe Biden retains the White House.

If Trump returns to the White House, Putin will get a punch card for every NATO state he annexes—for every sixth country he conquers, he’ll get a genocide “free-pass”.

I don’t disagree that 8GB is generally less than I would accept for normal usage, but the way this article is written you can tell the author really doesn’t have any reasonable grasp of memory management.

How many more toasters do they have, that they had to start using the ceiling?

Since the Jedi had fucked up “codes” to live by, I never would have expected them to rescue the mom.

Queen Amidala, however…

How fucked up is it that she was taken in by Anakin’s mother, who (as a god damn slave) fed her, gave her a place to stay, allowed her son to risk his life in a pod race, and ultimately gave her only son up willingly to go with her and the two Jedi, not really knowing what would happen but just trusting he’d be safe—but then, that same kid who gets attacked on the way to the ship just leaving Tattooine, ends up flying a fighter craft and destroying the droid control ship which saves Amidala’s entire planet and people. The fact the kid survived any of that is a miracle, but he clearly misses his mother. A fact Amidala was blatantly aware of.

The fact that Amidala, who had nearly infinite resources at her disposal, owed her life and every life she was responsible for in Naboo to Anakin, and was clearly aware of pretty much the only thing Anakin wanted in the entire universe—his god damn mother—and yet Amidala didn’t do jack fucking shit to drop a few coins on Watto and free Shmi.

I never would have expected the Jedi to free her, but Amidala? What a fucking piece of work…

At some point, a long time ago, we collectively transitioned from viewing mass shootings as an alarming epidemic, to something culturally endemic to our way of life. It’s an effortless rationalization made possible by for-profit news and for-profit politics.

If you are really patient, I think the sun will inevitably give us a whole bunch of helium.

I’d be open to that. Is there a market place?

I have the “opportunity” to invest in a platform which has operated for years without ever turning a profit?

This is known as “Eloning”, and I am not interested.

So they are getting rid of digital downloads. Terrible news

They are not getting rid of downloads.

I do not appreciate seeing click bait on Lemmy. Please join me in reporting this post as clickbait.

I will fight them at any White Castle in Manhattan below 14th Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November.

They, in their judicial robes.

I, in my cape and cowl.

I descend upon them as my theme plays.

62 seconds later the cold drizzle stops, and for the briefest of moments there is no time. There is no sound. There is only…
