Someone isn't familiar with the competitive 'noff scene

 

The slogan "Meat meets meat"

Probably one of the grossest thoughts I've had this week. It makes me thing about Smosh's Beef 'n Go video from 16 years ago.

 

I'm mostly looking for people to play games with on Steam. It would be nice to have someone to play co-op games with or even just know someone in a multiplayer lobby.

I only really have a couple friends and we haven't talked in months.

I'm wondering if there's a community out there for finding people to game with or more broadly making friends? I tried search some related buzz words but couldn't find anything

Do you have an example of apps designed for creating bootable media switching to a paid model?

Thanks for explaining. I didn't know it went unmaintained for a while. I thought programs like balenaEtcher and Rufus might have other issues I was unaware of like certain OSs not flashing correctly

 

That and verifying the checksum are the big reasons I can think of. I feel like for the most part though using something like balenaEtcher is so much easier.

 

Going on a vacation but still need to annoy the people downstairs? Attach a thumper to the floor and know your responsibilities are taken care of

 

I feel like this works on multiple fronts.

  1. It gives off big tough guy targeted shirt energy that's bound to give them a rush beyond what a white Monster can offer and will surely impress the waitress at Chili's.

Example of the targeted shirts I'm talking about:

  1. It hits people with the anger than immediately follows up with the confusion. "Shouldn't the mom be riding them?" "Is this implying my mom is into pegging?"
  2. Harley Davidson is the Supreme of middle aged dads and they'll buy whatever has their logo.

Thanks for the suggestion. That does really neat and I think I'll check it out.

The VCLauncher looks like it might be able to help the game run on modern operating systems so I think I'll see if that works.

How long ago was that?

 

I've played a fair amount of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and had a fair amount of fun with it. I liked the jungle combat that added some stealth elements and weapons that were present.

To be clear I don't mean to sound insensitive. I know about the Vietnam war and how distasteful a hero shooters around it could be.

 

Maybe there could be a whole line of bee theft protection gear. Imagine a subwoofer that plays a low buzzing sound or fake hives for the passenger seat.

 

Need something uncomfortably sticky in a hurry? Try the stickinator.

The plan is to replace the disinfectant with Kool Aid and the UV light with an Easy Bake Oven bulb. With people being less cautious of COVID 19 these devices are probably getting cheaper and what modern consumer doesn't love brand crossovers?

 

I originally posted this to !shitty_million_dollar_ideas@lemmy.dbzer0.com but I feel like it would be a better fit for a writing prompt. I feel like there's plenty of chances for humorous situations like Jesus wearing a noticeably fake beard and production staff getting people to sign NDAs.

 

Some people at work were kicking up toilet seat lids and angering the people doing work on the other side of the wall. It made me think about the Lunk Alarm but then I realised it would probably go off if someone took a loud shit.

I've attached a link to what the Lunk Alarm sounds like for those that don't know. It's pretty close to an air raid siren that's triggered by noise.

You can check the emulation wiki and see which ones they recommend. I'm not sure which are available on F-Droid but most of them are available through a GitHub page

I watched the 2007 version of Funny Games and Alien Nation.

I didn't think either was that great. I'm wondering if 70s movie called Funny Games is better.

Alien Nation was a somewhat generic buddy cop film with an alien being one of the cops and the other being a bigot. The whole movie feels like a not so subtle metaphor and the actual aliens don't really have a unique role or identity.

Didn't they produce a lot of content in the Vita modding scene?

I'm not surprised. TheFloW has done this before with PS4/5 exploits . A lot of players don't update their firmware in the hopes they'll be able to run something like HEN.

 

I found the image on Reddit while looking for demon core memes but because of Reddit's VPN block I can't give proper credit.

Wikipedia pages for those that don't know:


Bonus Plainly Difficult video for those who want to learn more about the Demon Core incident. It's about 10 minutes long.

Grand Theft Auto IV gave players choice with actions instead of dialogue but I feel like the end result was similar to Cyberpunk.

Characters you decide not to kill will often help you for a bit but it doesn't drastically effect the story. You still hit a notable point of no return that only really comes into play at the very end.

Personally that feels more like an adventure game. I don't think Cyberpunk is very unique in what it did.

I feel like you could say that about most games though. I wouldn't say Cities Skylines is an RPG but you are fulfilling the role of a mayor. Chirper adds to the immersion aspect but I don't think that's enough to shift the genre.

Maybe it's a hot take though. Kind of similarly I wouldn't call F.E.A.R. a horror game. I'd say it's an FPS with horror elements.

How so? To mean it felt like Grand Theft Auto IV. You go around doing jobs for individuals and get thrown a handful of choices and possible romance options along the way but it still feels very linear.

 

Both seem in vogue with boomers. So why not get the best of both and be the talk of the BBQ?

Maybe the text could be altered to include reference to wearing the shirt versus copying and pasting text.
