That Grote just made my trousers a little bit tighter, GodDAMN that’s a sexy guitar

He’s the missing 3rd Hellbender

Actually had me holding my phone at arm’s length and squinting, you legend, nicely done

I just rawdogged this comment

Anybody else see a face in this?

Bah, that’s nothing compared to “driving along and then waiting ages behind a parked car to let an oncoming car through, then they don’t wave to thank you”.

That sums up my experience too, but I have found it good for discussing functions for SQL and Powershell. Sometimes, it’ll throw something into its garbage code and I’ll be like “what does this do?” It’ll explain how it’s supposed to work, I’ll then work out its correct usage and solve my problem. Weirdly, it’s almost MORE helpful than if it just gave me functional code, because I have to learn how to properly use it rather than just copy/paste what it gives me.

Hot.

Absolutely agree with you, it’s about finding that value curve, where quality scales well with price. Say the cheapest ‘something’ is $10, the $20 one is twice as good, the $40 is maybe 70% better again but the $80 might only be 10% better than that.

As a beginner, I’d go for maybe the $20 option or the $40 if I were confident I’d stick with it. But yeah, it’s a pain when your ability to enjoy or succeed at a hobby is hampered by buying the cheapest option off AliExpress, haha.

It’s not perfect but PiHole will still catch a lot of the ads if you have the know-how to set one up. Tis a relatively cheap and easy solution that has the benefit of being able to block ads network-wide, providing your router lets you set a custom DNS.

Ima just masturbate in the morning, checkmate.

I was absolutely obsessed with SR2 as a kid, replayed it so many times.

I think they could and absolutely should reboot it. The lore, the characters, the world was really something else. I think if they were to revisit it and utilise modern advances to really go HARD on the atmosphere and world design, it could be amazing.

The Dead Space remake is a perfect example of this. It’s stayed mostly true to the original and used the new graphical and lighting technology available to make the environment and atmosphere so much deeper and more immersive. I’ve heard the RE4 remake also did it well but I’ve not played it yet.

The geofencing thing feels like something Apple could easily resolve. When they review an app, they should just randomly spoof their location.

My favourite alt text on Lemmy

Holy fuck, I have no idea what they were on before but 31% is monumental! Good for them :)

These orbs won’t ponder themselves and there’s nothing sadder than an un-pondered orb

SUPEEER MEAT BOOOOY!

I wasn’t aware this existed, very cool!

One thing I would say is Bluetooth is inherently laggy, though low-latency codecs help a lot.

If you have issues with latency again, I’d recommend buying a pair of RF headphones instead. Radio is super low latency. Downside is that the guitar would need to be wired to an RF transmitter but it’s an option.

The alt text is the real winner here. “It is a whimsical rainbow tampon she is extracting from herself.” Is one of the finest combinations of words I’ve ever witnessed.

Gotta be my favourite Primus song of all time and the music video is just a goddamn masterpiece 👌
