Oh god, I'm NOT watching a god damned 3 hour video on facebook vs fediverse!

Seriously! Why did this guy feel the need to make a THREE HOUR VIDEO about social media??? A 10 minute video would have been a bit much, but THREE HOURS AND 9 MINUTES??? ARE YOU HIGH??? Holy shit....

..........I honestly don't know if that's better or worse.

Ok......I know Everette True is just a comic, but I'm REALLY channeling his spirit hearing that....

Imagine being the guy at the novelty T-Shirt company, who takes requests.

And then THIS order comes in.....

.........she did porn? Why was I not informed???

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Does Lemmy even have a video upload like reddit does?

I guess that depends on if you consider the sight of a hairy butthole to be sexual.

What? It's ALWAYS a hairy asshole. You NEVER see a girl moon, or a well kept guy moon. It's ALWAYS some 300lbs plumber bod guy.

Holiday wish??? Dude. It's October! This is spooky season, then it's turkey season THEN holiday season!

My rule of thumb is that anyone who puts up christmas decorations before Black Friday is a massive asshole, who sucks dick.....but not very well. They use a lot of teeth in their blowjobs, because they have no sense of how things are supposed to be. They do things nobody wants.

That's why you gotta wait until black friday. For now, it's all about black cats, and murder. Blood is a decoration! Also, pumpkin spice.....for some reason....

LOOK! I DON'T MAKE THE RULES!

Not forcing your beliefs on everyone else? Well that's certainly unAmerican of you! I'm not voting for the person YOU clearly support!

Stop being right......

 

I was going to post this in /c/retropie but it seems they haven't had any activity in 8 months. So I figure here is the next most appropriate place.

I recently brought out my raspberry pi, and started taking care with it. I downloaded some new themes. I put a hell of a lot more roms into it.

One problem is, if I try to connect a controller, I can map every button except LT and RT.

At first I thought it was because I was using the 8 Bitdo Switch arcade stick (which also has the ability to connect to PC/Linux/Raspberry Pi.

I didn't understand it, but I thought "Ok. Maybe something about it being an arcade stick means I can't use those two buttons on THIS stick. Whatever. I'll just use a different controller.

So I pull out my WiiU Pro Controller......SAME EXACT ISSUE.

So now I don't know WHAT to think. I WAS going to connect it to my switch, and see if I could do a button test on that, to see if it registers the inputs for those two buttons, but now I'm not sure that's needed if it's had the same issue with two unrelated controllers with two different form factors, made by two different companies.

Is this a common issue with an easy fix, or has life once again said "FUCK YOU Lost_My_Mind!!!" ?

 

So, we've all heard that it's coming back. I haven't yet heard if it's a one-off, or if it's a semi-regular show.

What I DID just hear, that I hadn't heard originally, is that it's an 8pm eastern start time. I assume 2 hours.

Even though I don't watch WWE, that kinda still pisses me off. It's supposed to be an 11:30pm thing, sitting in the SNL time slot on weeks when SNL is on a break week.

By 10pm, you'd still have time for a 60 minute show, then 30 minute local news, and STILL have room for SNLs regular time slot.

It's not the same.....

 

WOW's website claims it's on in my area Sunday at 1:00pm, and that threw me off, because it's normal timeslot here is Sunday at 12:00pm.

I checked and 12:00pm is now "Paid Programing", and 1:00pm is "The Conners". I haven't scanned through the whole week yet, but I have a feeling it's just "NXT is here now, WOW is no longer here."

Anyone else able to still get WOW on their CW syndicate?

Edit: Turns out they changed the timeslot to Sunday at 2am. So......it does still exist. I wonder if they're just letting the contract length run out, before they let it run out.

 

Every AEW show, Taz just seems to cause CONSTANT non-stop awkward moments, and bickering without payoff.

Meanwhile, everytime Don Callis is on commentary, he's the star of the show. At least the commdntary portion of the show.

And can we all admit that for as bad as Tony Schivone was in WCW, he's pretty great in AEW.

And as much as I hate to admit it, Excaliber is a top notch commentary, and there's a reason he's lead announcer.

........but Taz needs to go.

 

So it would be one of those 5 second ads. You get a white guy with a 12 inch dick, to wear the Burger King mascot costume from 2008. The one that used to sneak into womens beds as they sleep, and surprise them with sausage sandwiches. You know the one. Except you leave the fly zipper open so the dick can hang out.

Then you get ANY porn model female. As long as she has a good O-face for 5 seconds.

And then you have the audio. It's like a stomping on the bleachers sound of 20,000 people all doing it at the same time. To the rythem of Queen's "we will we will (rock you)".

Except you never get to the lyrics. It's just STOMP-STOMP-CLAP repeat repeat repeat repeat.

And the first stomp sound is shown the burger kings dick going into the woman. It's accompanied by the stomp sound as he thrusts, and the lyric "FUCK"

The next stomp is shown as just a close-up of the Kings gigantic plastic head. And the stomp noise, and the lyric "KING!"

The clap sound is just a shot of the kings testicles swinging mid-thrust, and the clap sound with the lyric "NUTS!"

And then it repeats, except on the second loop the "NUTS!" shot is a jar of "Burger King brand Fucking Nuts!"

Then it loops 1 more time, because rules of 3, and this time the word NUTS is a shot of a big bowl of nuts in the foreground, as king fucks this woman in the background.

So the whole thing is each shot is like 1/2 a second, and it's just STOMP STOMP CLAP STOMP STOMP CLAP STOMP STOMP CLAP. With the lyrics "FUCK KING NUTS! FUCK KING NUTS! FUCK KING NUTS!"

And then the 5 second ad is over and you start watching whatever porn you clicked.

 

I've not had playstation plus for close to 10 years at this point. Last night I looked at it again, and see it's totally changed.

When I had PS+ on PS3, it was $60 for a year, you got 3 games per month, and if you weren't subscribed when a game came out on PS+ then you missed out.

Last night I looked it up, and there's 3 different tiers, with the cheapest one being $80, still gives you 3 games like before, and you get to play online.

This month, they got a sports game (which lets face it will be dramatically cheaper to buy in 3 years), a game called little creatures 2, and some harry potter game. So to me it sounds like this month would be totally skippable.

But that's not the worst part. The worst part is just value per dollar.

I like old retro games, and the new way they set all this up, is that there is a list of always available games to download, which are retro. If you get this, you can play from about 200ish games. Many of which I saw and thought "I want to play that!"

But when you look at the cost, it goes from being must-have, to being a real thought provoker on if it's even worth it. It costs $155 per year.

I just looked at the list of 3 games per month that you get in the lowest tier, which costs $80 per year, dating all the way back to June 2022. I saw ONE game in that amount of time that I would have otherwise bought. ONE. In a little over 2 years. Which means one year I would have gotten ONE game that I'd play, and the other year I'd have gotten exactly ZERO games I'd play.

So you look back to that highest tier which allows you to play retro games. And granted, yes, there are quite a few I'd actually play, but here's the problem. I'm not going to play all of these at once. I don't have time to play 12 different games at the same time anymore. These games are clearly aimed at my generation, as they mostly came out in the 90s, and early to mid 2000s. As good of a game as Worms Armegeddon is, I don't see many teenagers today even trying it. Which is a real shame, because they're right at the age where saying "I got worms!" is still hilarious everytime you say it.

But they're not going to play it. I'M going to play it.

But you price the damn game in a tier that lets me play the game for 12 months. for $155.

Now, for a moment, let's ignore the fact that I could EASILY emulate this game right now, on any modern hardware with emulators, for free. Let's ignore that for a second, and try to do things the legal way. I just checked ebay, and if I never found my copy of Worms Armegeddon on PS1, I could buy it right now, complete in box with free shipping for $12.50. Plus tax I assume. That game will still work in my PS3. It might even work in my PS5. I've never tried a PS1 game in a PS5, but maybe it works? If not, I still have my PS3, which I KNOW works.

So for this $12.50, I own the game forever, and can still play it just fine in 13 months.

And I'm sure there's many other PS1 and PS2 games in that retro list which fit similar situations. Now, considering I'm NOT going to be playing this massive list of games they provide all at once, it would stand to reason that you should stay on this service so that when you're done with one, you can start the next. Great! One problem.

If PS1/PS2 games range from $5.00-$30.00 complete, how many of those games I was going to play can just be bought outright on ebay for $155?

At some point, I could just OWN the majority of those retro games, plus not be bound by an arbitrary list based on liscense agreements that may and do run out at any time.

So my point is, the value for these tiers starts to become less about the games themselves, and more about the ability to play online.....which can be done in the lowest tier.

I agree that Sony needs money to run these online servers, but I disagree that current costs make sense. I'd rather skip the extras, and just say "Alright, let me pay $10 a year, and I'll just get access to online play."

Because to me, online play, and nothing more, is NOT worth $80 a year, especially considering I might go online once a month? There were times where I didn't even turn on my PS4 for months/years at a time. Sony wants to make the concept of going online to be some big premium expense, and then wonders why over half their PS4 market never bought a PS5. It just stops being worth it at a certain age.

 

Since I installed the official fan script, and it did nothing, I kept searching. I found a second user made script for controlling the fan, however I'm too inexperienced with linux to even understand what's being asked.

How To Install Firstly you need to have a build environment setup, that includes the following gcc dtc git bash linux-headers make git NOTE : The package names will be different depending on your OS so I've only given their binary names. Refer to your distribution for what you need to install. I've tried to make the installer as simple as possible. After cloning this repo simply run ./install You may need to reboot for full functionality.

What does he mean "build the environment setup"? And how do I clone a repo?

I'm trying this out on raspberry pi OS 64 bit, which is listed as compatible. If I can learn HOW to do this, I'll do it on my main SD card OS, TwisterOS, which is also listed as compatible.

 

So as you can see in the picture, I threw a party last year. AEW is a pro wrestling company, much like WWE. They had this big outdoor show at Wembley Stadium in London. Sold something like 80,000 tickets. We watched live on PPV.

It's the first time I ever threw a wrestling watch party. I invited 4 people. I bought cheese, soft pretzels, bought chips/queso. I had vodka, whiskey, beer, and 3 different THC vape pens along with edible gummies. I also had coke (the soda), barqs root beer, and one of the special novelty mountain dew flavors.

I cooked chicken, and cut the cheese into cubes with individual toothpicks. I got out my good plates. And used the projector to make the screen 90 inches.

Only 2 people showed up. Nobody ate hardly anything. Nobody drank anything. Hardly anything was said. This picture was taken AFTER the party. We went through 1 bag of chips, and 1 1/2 jars of queso.

I literally could have just bought 1 bag of chips, 2 jars of queso, and saved $100 and 2 days of prep work.

I even had 2 different styles of BBQ sauce for the chicken.

Yes, it's a year later, and I'm still mildly infuriated over it!

 

I did all the same steps. I downloaded the file. I wrote it to the SD card, but then when I go to start it up, I just get this loading screen that lasted about an hour before I just shut it down.

What am I doing wrong here?
