Fake retro video game ring worth €50m smashed in Italy
  • So, I'm not sure where everyone else is, and maybe I'm in the wrong, but, Why?

    Not meeting "safety standards"?

    Did they leave out the epilepsy warning or something?

    This doesn't feel like "keeping people safe" to me. Fuck the police.

    why does some mastodon influencers mislead their followers?
  • So, what's wrong about it? It sounds like a personal position to me. Even if the percentages aren't exactly correct, I don't think that completely corrupts their concept.

    Is it a 100% tax rate as good as they think it would be? Maybe, maybe not, but predicting one way or the other isn't misinformation.

    Is Trump Made of Teflon?
  • John Gotti was the Teflon Don.

    It's just coincidence (or is it?) that Trump's first name sounds like the highest title in the Mafia.

    Is Trump Made of Teflon?
  • He's just so smart that he finds a way to get out of it. Remember, kids, only suckers pay taxes!

    Smart, rich, lucky, even if any of that is true, being good at evil doesn't make it less evil.

    Cursing is when you use edgy filler words instead of saying something meaningful.
  • What I'm seeing here is someone who REALLY likes witty quips, but is very upset that nobody else appreciates them.

    I'm with you, buddy. None of my snappy responses ever convinced a bully that I was worthy of respect, but his constant repetition of movie quotes always got a chuckle from his cronies.

    Smart people know big words, but smarter people know when to use them. Making an impression on others isn't about proving that you have higher value than someone else, it's about proving that you are one of them. Reminding people that you're different from them pushes you away.

    Or, I might just be projecting shit I've been through. Maybe it's useful to someone.

    Blizzard Reveals How Much Money Players Spent on Microtransactions in Diablo 4. Sales Revenue Has Already Exceeded $1 Billion
  • I'm right there with you. I won't deny that there's a chance that it's just a side effect of being old, but I nodded off more than a few times.

    I can't put my finger on it either, but everything just felt like a chore. I must quit playing it for months and only fired it up to finish the story because I knew I had to be close, and I couldn't leave it like that.

    In what videogame you're currently stuck and you gave up or drop it for a while?
  • It's been a few months, but Earthbound.

    I'm in the city where you go through a portal in the bar to go to a shadow dimension. I seemed to be holding my own before the portal, but I couldn't make any progress inside. Moved on and forgot about it.

  • I was relieved to see there were no bids on the Nazi trash.

    I wonder if there's some guy out there that collects little metal cars who really wants to bid, but doesn't want to be the guy who bought the Nazi coin.

    I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

    Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.

    Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

    If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

    My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I'm impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition.

    We set the bar pretty low on video game adaptations, but I feel this one's doing alright so far!

    What does everyone else think? (Let's keep spoilers to a minimum. Most of us probably weren't able to watch the whole thing in one night.)
