Every time I see a post with this caption, the environment largely looks fine, but there are consistently two issues:

  • Poor seating (especially visible in this picture, where I didn’t notice a chair and sitting on a fixture would strain your back over time)
  • Neck strain (usually by having the TV sit on the floor, so you’d have to crane your neck to see it)


This was back in 2006 or so. I don’t recall if 4G was around then, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t available as an internet provider. If it was, I wasn’t aware.

I’m pretty happy with my current internet solution, but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!


I tried this in the first place I lived at where I paid for my own internet, which was Comcast at the time.

They said (paraphrasing because it was a long time ago) their contract specified they were not responsible for any outages, nor any income lost due to same. I don’t know if that’s true, but I was young and naive and accepted it at face value.



Can you explain the Will Smith reference? I am unaware of any affiliation he has with Steam / Valve.


Thank you for the details, much appreciated. I extrapolated from the other response - more or less, as you said - but you provided plenty I couldn’t have guessed.




I don’t know anything about this game, but I’m tired of that one guy spamming it in the comments of RCE videos. The description makes it sound pretty cool despite that.


I can’t comment on the comparison, as I didn’t play most of those, but I will comment on Sands of Time:

The premise of the game is that the protagonist is recalling a story. He narrates your actions as you play, but you can fail. If you fail, you can die. If you die, the narrator says things like “and then I died. No, wait, that’s not right” and you can rewind time.

I always thought that was pretty funny.




While I don’t disagree with anything you said, I think this comment descended into nihilism with alarming rapidity and I hope you’re okay.


I genuinely try to add to the conversation whenever I comment and avoid “this” style comments. I don’t necessarily do a great job based on my comment history.

But I have to say … This comment was brilliant.


My five year old would strongly disagree with you.

Though they would call it “Buzzy Butt.”



Is that both outgoing and incoming?

edit: diminished redundancy.


Hence the “bastardization” part.


My mind went to “we’re the Monkees,” but that’s a bit of a bastardization and also ages me somewhat. I’ll just pretend I’ve ever heard of Sseth. Yeah! References! And so on.


Previously, I have not commented on your posts, but I appreciate them. You have your imitators and they have some good stuff, but so far as I can tell, you’re their progenitor. Thank you for your Lemmy contributions.

Obviously this comment doesn’t add much to the conversation, but it’s my 1337th comment, so I wanted it to be a joyful one … And currently every other post on my feed is depressing or at least highly contentious, so I would appreciate you for being the exception even if I didn’t enjoy your content.

That’s a fascinating way to spell… Presumably “quarterback”?




I originally bought (yes, bought) Fortnite because a friend and I were super into H1Z1 (now the non-existent “Just Survive” version, RIP) and he thought they would be similar. They certainly weren’t identical, but there was definitely some overlap.

Then PUBG started to get popular and both H1Z1 and Fortnite completely redesigned themselves … One more successfully than the other.





The impulse is understandable, but yeah. You’d think they’d learn.



While I agree, we shouldn’t criticize people for learning and changing for the better.


Yes. I also use the heel of my hand, at least on the left side, at least for modifier keys. Everyone who has ever observed this (well, minus one, to be technically accurate) seems to have been personally offended by it.





That wasn’t twenty years ago … It was, like, three. Right? Please tell me I’m right.



The person perhaps (eventually) most qualified to answer this might be Graeldon, who is on a quest to play every Steam game in alphabetical order.


Fair enough.

NerdCubed is, or was, my favorite YouTuber. I don’t like his live streams as much, but he did play Tomba in one.
