I had a friend come back from a work trip to Saskatchewan talking about how the skeevy strip club in town had the “toonie toss”. I don’t remember too much of the story except that they also didn’t have booze

Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and played it at the demo that was always set up at Costco, it was a really solid system with actual potential. Blockbuster had a program back in the day where for $40 or something like that you could rent a system with 2 controllers and 2 games for 7 days. Did the same with the Sega Saturn with similar feelings, eventually ended up owning a N64 and that was not a disappointment in the end.

The ballistic hard shell cases with foam inserts Blockbuster rented out consoles in were seriously cool I wonder if any exist still

I’m simply annoyed that all the news stories post-election have only slightly changed. We went from ‘here’s all the awful things Trump will do if he gets re-elected’ to ‘here’s all the awful things Trump is planning to do now that he’s re-elected’. It’s not really new content, just the same stories over again.

There wasn’t even a week off from it, the man and his coverage is an assault on all the senses and it’s just never ending.

I always liked the translucent purple N64 and the controller that came with it. If they made a GameCube that way it would probably be my favourite.

I had no idea lemmy.today was that sparsely used. I appreciate their hands-off approach and the reliability is pretty solid. Just wanted to say I like what they’re doing here.

When I saw the commercial for this movie all I could think of was that King of the Hill episode where Peggy tries selling houses by staging cheesy family plays about the house

Baa Ram You

imagine the inflation though!

My Nokia N97 had that too it was so sweet

This has been news in Canada for about a year, story after story about people getting sucked in and losing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When it’s not Musk it’s Justin Trudeau, same M.O.

You’d think if these people read the news outlets they share their stories with that they would have seen one of the articles already because they’re so common. But then again people still take Sunwing package vacations then complain to the news when it’s subpar so idk.

Edit to add I blame big tech more than the scam victims, they have no protections in place and are profiting off the scammers immorally as well. They should have to manually review these things or at least be responsive to user reports and they’re doing neither. I actually know someone who got banned from Meta products for reporting too many scam ads.

Works both ways too, Sam Bankman Fried apparently fooled a lot of people by cosplaying as a Toyota Corolla driver

Article also says it needs an app on your phone running to function, could they not have just developed an app that lets you use your phone camera to take a picture of your dook (meaning the device is useless)?

I had this happen last night, did the reset sound devices but had to refresh the active tab playing video to get the sound working.

You can also get straight to Volume Mixer in the start menu by typing Mixer, I use it multiple times a day for workflow

2011 AMD Graphics MacBook Pro all over again
