How to make physical PC GOG games

video is in Arabic but there are high quality english subtitles!

a note: for burning BDXL discs on Linux, i've seen conflicting reports about K3b, some say it works, others say it doesn't... if someone has had any luck burning BDXL discs on Linux, i'd love to know what setup you used!

the only thing more annoying than someone self-censoring are the billion people telling them to stop self-censoring

like we get it, we don’t need 20000 replies saying the same thing!!!!!!!!

literally every country stands to benefit from the downfall of the US, except itself, israel and maybe canada

many games on the switch get big discounts, absolutely

games published by nintendo? not so much

and by the thing you mean about getting free games with borrowing a physical copy. im assuming you’re talking about the gold points, which have been removed some time ago now

nintendo wants total, and I mean TOTAL control over their IP. not a smidge must escape their grasp.

if they could take down every fanart and every meme with their IP in it, they would

no, because MMR vaccines have been proven to be safe, and you are informed that your child must be vaccinated to go school; it’s not like the kid is vaccinated against their knowledge once they get there

birth control pills can have side effects, sometimes very detrimental, and in this hypothetical scenario they’re hidden in the meth, so you don’t even know it’s there

[-] carotte 12 points 2 days ago

no, because people choose to take them

if they’re forced, then yes, it’s eugenics

[-] carotte 7 points 2 days ago

"no no you see, in this case, eugenics is justified!"

i don’t care. it’s still wrong.

am i reading too much into a shitpost or is this essentially saying "sterilize drug users"

its that joke about there being 4 kinds of names for birds:

  • God’s Specialest Little Boy
  • Horncocked Boobtit
  • Blue Bird With White Head
  • Jeremy’s Fingernail

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Screenshot of a Bluesky quote chain.

The first post, by @DKThomp on Twitter, says: "Fascinating @benthompson vision of the future of the Internet—i.e., 'The Agentic Web' Scenario: Before I go to sleep, I tell ChatGPT 'Plan my 5-year-old's birthday next Saturday, budget $500. When you've made the reservation, email these 20 ppl a printable invitation to attend. Also my wife wants to go to England in mid-July. Find 5 plausible flights for the family and make several distinct itineraries. Finally, pls edit this work memo.'

When I go to sleep, the Al agent negotiates slots with two bowling alleys, buys a cake, emails printable invites, plans the trip, copy-edits, etc."

It is quoted by Drew Harwell on Bluesky: "Wouldn't do this in a million years".

This quote is then quoted by @cinemashoebox.bsky.social: "Waking up to 20 angry parents of my son's friends wondering why they've been sent an invitation to a BRITOTHDYA PRRRYT featuring a picture of Elsa with three eyes and tits bigger than her head. meanhile my wife is boarding a plane for her 176 hour flight to England via four layovers in Antarctica"

Screenshot of a Tumblr post by imsobadatnicknames2:

"A couple years later it's still amazing what a perfect distillation the original 'anonymized people of the global south' tweet is of the absolute callousness of yankee liberals;

(Screenshot of a Twitter post by @loudpenitent: "An anonymized 'people of the global south' is not worth more than domestic queer citizens or any other member of any other marginalized community - or, bluntly, any fellow citizen at all. Real-ass human beings matter more than rhetorical constructs.") (end of Twitter screenshot, back to imsobadatnicknames2’s commentary);

If I wrote a character saying this into a piece of media about how much americans suck it'd be too on the nose."
