amio,

Sear it in oil. Once the crust is formed you can ease off the heat, add the butter (garlic and herbs too, if you want) once it's safe, and baste. Basting might cause it to carry over cook a bit more, so be conservative with the core temp.

amio,

"Troll logic" is one of my favorite memes.

Exactly like being hit by lightning at any instant has a 50% risk because either it happens or it doesn't.

amio,

Please tell me this is fake. I need to hear these words.

amio,

Yes, but was this specific one a result, or was it a 5 second fake because haha meme?

I'm already pretty skeptical of "AI" in the LLM-algorithm-hell sense, but that doesn't mean people don't make things up for shits and giggles.

amio,

I already don't trust any Google result that has "AI" anywhere near it, and barely even the rest anymore.

amio,

[looks vaguely in the direction of Japan]

Five... four... three...

rule (lemmy.cafe)

as much of a PSA as this is a meme lol. don’t seek dietary advice from randos on the internet. everyone is different and the advice you see from @bonerfart on !memes can be dangerous and should be taken with a grain of salt (metaphorically, not a dietary recommendation 😜). instead consider one or both of:...

amio,

I wouldn't be too comfy with b) either, as it sounds like a complete unicorn. At best, it's hard to know the "quality" of that backing and even then there are ethical and legal liabilities.

amio,

I distinctly remember this joke when 2000 or ME was the most recent one.

amio,

Well at least this surely will be easily disabled and then not keep re-enabling itself when Windows forgets its own settings every couple weeks(!)

amio,

So they're ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

amio,

rekt

amio,

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what'd they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys...

amio,

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don't think it's required. I could be wrong...

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

amio,

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right... prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was... still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

amio,

What the fuck

amio,

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.

amio,

Nothing at all, if it's been maintained and "upkept" much better than theirs has. But, y'know.

Starfield is starting to seem pretty spackled together, and the engine was already sort of infamous for bugs. It's not just BSW being sloppy about content (although they are), it's also the engine and tooling. The CKs tend to look... grim.

amio,

handwaved it away as perfectly normal and expected

"Yes, but space is boring and therefore it's realistic" is still one of my favorite excuses for a game.

amio,

What do you mean, "nowadays"? Mobile games always sucked.

amio,

Oh, no no, capitalism welcomes competition, don't'y'know.
Just as long as it doesn't mess with the profit margins.

amio,

Maybe they could start using an engine that is more recent than the Cretaceous.

amio,

Yes - unexpectedly, on a game that's pretty much a decade old. Modders are not expected to maintain stuff that long, because when does that ever happen?

Then it's just... badly executed at that.

amio,

AI generated or just crap? You decide!

amio,

It's so much waffle it sorta doesn't even matter. Super dodgy site.

amio,

Have you considered maybe your "participation" is just insufferable even if it weren't blatantly bad faith?

amio,

Yeah, bad faith participation is awesome if you have an excuse.

amio,

Maybe they've finally fixed one of the glitches from Oblivion.

Maybe it's a second cave/"randomly generated" dungeon.

amio,

Yes... grown up...

amio,

Cyclops are Finnish??

Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch?

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure...

amio,

I've been mildly curious about RDR2. It's been on sale a couple times, but I still feel... icky about the idea of giving Take2 any money.

amio,

It emphatically does not mean that. Tankies tend to shill for Russia and China (CCP), neither of which is communist or socialist. I don't even mean that in a "no true scotsman" way, they are literally market economies with astronomical wealth inequality.

amio,

nothin personnel, kid

amio,

This is an outrage.

amio,

Bet they'll patent it, just to make sure nobody can have nice things.

amio,

Today, in a truly shocking twist, it turns out on Lemmy that landlords are actually bad! Who'd'a fucking thunk it after only about 4.7 quintillion times.

Not uplifting, though.

amio,

(Nah)

amio,

Nobody, past, present or future, should listen to this fucking idiot.

amio,

It's like Goldeneye except the only weapon setting is "Slappers only"

(Too easy, I know)

amio,

Mary is fucking based.

amio,

Interesting argument. I'd be curious if you know roughly how many plural people there are (let's say headcounts as there's only one body) compared to Discord's user base. (150 million active users per month according to random half-assed google search)

amio,

But your point was that this is actively keeping people on Discord? By extension, that must mean that a significant bulk of those 150M users are kept on Discord because it has PluralKit. How do you reconcile that with the group of plurals being, apparently, quite small? To the point where even on Beehaw/Lemmy almost nobody seems to even have heard of it.

amio,

Yeah, it's a shame how all the tech/games communities is actually ShitAssQuoteUnquoteNewsSource "reporting" on ShitAssCorp being shit.

amio,

Quality reference in the title though.

amio,

Not just sedatives, digoxin (digitalis) and amitriptyline (tricyclic antidepressive) which are both extremely cardiotoxic in large doses. This stuff is really meant to get shit done...

amio,

No no, they're awesome. Every one a masterpiece of modern comedic ingenuity. I mean, picking a random noun, then typing "randomnoun but it's jeans" into a shitty AI image generator, then doing it again a dozen times? Fucking genius.

Maybe I'm just old and grumpy, but this reminds me of Reddit's obsession with rage comics - except those were higher effort, incredibly. Maybe we can go back to the stroganoff? How about something with dead babies next? Bring the terrible Gërman Fïsh Mëmë back? Knock-knock jokes? Maybe people literally stepping on rakes over and over, as seeing the 700th jouch meme only feels like it?

amio,

Zwei dead Babys vere valking down ze Straße...

amio,

Assault and battery, serial murder or at least manslaughter I guess, arson, theft, looting ancient burial sites, hunting endangered species, regicide, trespassing, making rude gestures at a a dog.

amio,

There are several Swiss cheeses that are notable, but referring to one specific kind as "Swiss" (that may or may not be Swiss Swiss), I believe is a US thing to do?
