Geek. Gamer. Data hoarder. Eldritch Horror hidden in a geeky t-shirt. Canadian. Polite, but says 'cunt' like an Australian. Avid pirate, worships unfathomable space gods that may drive you crazy.

If you see this username on other instances, it's almost certainly me on an alt.

  • [Rant] Cloud service is not a reason to have phones with only 128 GB

    Jump

  • Right? I'm a fucking data hoarder with 30+TB of shit at home and my phone has less than 30 gigs of apps/photo/videos/etc at any point in time lmao.

  • Bibles in Hotel Rooms is Another Strange Example of Christian Privilege

    Jump

  • If you do this, make sure it's deep in the middle somewhere and not easily seen via flipping through. Hotel bibles are provided by Gideons, and if you deface/destroy/remove/throw out/etc one, it'll just be replaced with zero fuss and no effort. The more people doing this, the more they replace, the more they print, etc etc.

    It's always a great feeling taking it and wanting to wipe your arse with it, but 10 mins after you vacate the room another copy will be there waiting for the next person regardless of what you've done.

  • What is your all time favourite movie?

    Jump

  • It's really hard to say to be honest, so I'm going to go based on the movie I watch the most frequently (and I can back that up with 4ish years of media server stats!), so with a total of 49 views during that time:

    Scary Movie. Absolutely hilarious, just about every scene makes me cackle. Scary Movie 2 is also a frequent watch (along with 3 on occasion, 4 and 5 if I'm baked out of my gourd), but that first movie is a pure classic.

    Also honourable mention to my 19-views-in-the-same-time-period entry: A Haunted House, also by Marlon Wayans. Fucking hilarious, and has a decent enough sequel too.

  • Dear Youtube,

    I've been using you daily since before you were bought by Google. I have watched undoubted millions of youtube videos over the last 17 years.

    The mother fucking nanosecond you start blocking me from watching your content because I have an ad blocker is the moment I sit here and just rip every each and every single mother fucking video I want to watch to view entirely offline. Given you've tried and failed for a decade now to stop us from doing that I trust it'll solve both our needs, you won't have me blocking your ads, and I won't need to ever see em. Savvy? Savvy!

    With a level of spite indescribable,

    Me.

    Edit: For those whining about my entitlement: QQ more idc.

    Edit 2: Ya'll still commenting and downvoting a week later while I haven't thought about any of you at all lmao. Rent free!

  • LMG has made a response video to Gamers Nexus' concerns

    Jump

  • Gods I miss the years when trolls tried. Used to be an artform. Now every Tom, Dick and Numbnuts thinks being a contrarian idiot is enough to get the job done.

  • "What do we do now?" - LMG's response to the recent controversies

    Jump

  • Bingo!

  • "What do we do now?" - LMG's response to the recent controversies

    Jump

  • In fairness, they would have been absolutely stupid to have not done a 100% prewritten, teleprompted PR riddled pre-written response given the situation. Linus sitting down in front of a camera and just letting his mind do Linus things isn't gonna help anyone lol.

  • Omnivore is an excellent open-source read-it-later alternative to Pocket, that can be self-hosted as well

    Jump

  • Hell I remember when it was called Read It Later, long before the Pocket days. Back when it was good lol.

  • Are there any crack/patch/keygen/serial search engines still around?

    Jump

  • I don't have an answer for you but this woke up an old memory of me sitting on my old ass XP machine running Serialz2k or whatever the shit it was called, big database of serial codes, username/passwords, etc for tons and tons of different software. Could update it monthly/quarterly and get new serials added into the database. Only managed to get a handful of serial codes to work but for a young teenaged me it was glorious.

  • It would appear lemmy.world has blocked this community

    Jump

  • Right? Like oh no, well sucks to sucks l.w lol.

  • lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

    Jump

  • Well, sucks to suck I guess.

  • Youtube-dl website has been taken down by Uberspace following court-ordered ban

    Jump

  • All else fails, grab yt-dlp. It's a fork that I tend to find works better than normal youtube-dl anyway.

  • The Kbin Experience

    Jump

  • though it might not be affecting everyone.

    Can confirm it is not affecting everyone. Posted numerous threads yesterday with zero issues. I have gotten this error numerous times when trying to block or upvote as you said, though not for the last 4-5 days or so for me.

  • Hollywood actor Danny Trejo will play Magellan in film ‘1521’

    Jump

  • You ain't wrong.

    Edit: Exception being if it has a subtitle, of course. I.E. 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    Man brutally executes his friend with no remorse - Project Zomboid

    Jump

  • I need to get back into Zomboid. Literally haven't played since early development. Like...'the laptop has been stolen' early development lmao.

  • The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices

    Jump

  • Such a mess lol. I take pride in knowing that every movie, tv show, comedy special, album, game (up until the ps era cause i'm not made of hard drive money), comic book, novel, piece of software, basically anything I ever enjoyed over the course of my life (as well as a couple terabytes of random data hoarder shit) are sitting 2 feet away from my fingers at all times.

  • The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now they’re jacking up prices

    Jump

  • I never stopped, but I doubled down a good 10 years ago when Netflix first announced they were gonna put an end to people getting around geolocking. I'm Canadian. I'd pay (at the time) for US Netflix 100%. Canadian Netflix wasn't worth the cost of the pot to piss in.

    Spun up a Plex server, set up Sonarr, Jackett/Prowlarr, Radarr, Tautulli, and now I am Netflix for 20 people lmao.

    Edit: And I'd have it no other way.

  • Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"

    Jump

  • Don't worry, another year or two and they'll be selling us Overwatch Classic™ for $15 a month.

  • It's been out for a bit, but they just launched it on Steam as well. Was formerly just via Battle.net.
