  • What Youtube channel has maintained high quality standards over the years?

    Jump

  • Cinemassacre is a tough one for me, especially since the channel became run by a channel manager. Their content has plummeted in quality in my opinion. It seems like they're trying to make up for it now, but I think that ship has sailed.

  • Alternatively... bidet

  • Before a colonoscopy, you typically have to drink something called "prep" to clean out your system. For the better part of a day before the procedure, you drink nothing but this liquid that is meant to clean out your intestines, and it makes you shit your guts out until it's nothing but the clear liquid. It's usually lemon or pineapple flavored, and it tastes awful.

  • Trump Claims Someone May Have Forged His Signature on Birthday Letter to Epstein

    Jump

  • Woah! A JtHM reference in the wild!

  • How do you destroy the notion that Democrats are the good guys? Americans seem like a lost cause on that regard

  • Funnily enough, the last administration made some headway there for Medicare recipients... Unfortunately, it looks like that's now been undone.

  • With equal parts confusion and shame, I regret to inform you that Skibidi Toilet is coming to Fortnite

    Jump

  • My 8-year-old actually informed me that this was in the game and followed it up with, "I want to die."

  • YouTube Premium announces 100 million subscribers

    Jump

  • Same for me!

  • Epic Games is laying off about 830 employees, divesting Bandcamp

    Jump

  • There's nothing quite like making an emotional, incendiary response to a good faith comment and then blocking the person while acting as if you are morally superior.

    Perhaps in the future, should you ever unblock me and see this comment, you'll consider an alternative perspective as an opportunity to change your mind and not as some sort of conflict.

  • After decades of climate deception, Shell uses Fortnite to court demographic most concerned about climate change

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell, this doesn't have anything to do with Epic Games, the developers. Shell was paying twitch streamers directly to promote their initiative through playing Fortnite.

  • I know a few people who work for Epic games, and generally they are treated incredibly well. Good pay, good benefits, still able to work from home... Their experience has been pretty much all positive.

    However, Epic has been hemorrhaging money for a few years now. As successful as the Unreal Engine and Fortnite are, they've aquired half a dozen companies over the last few years, and offer an insane amount of free content between the Epic Games Store and the Unreal marketplace. They they acquire exclusives for their platform, they host tournaments with prize pools in the millions, and they have been trying to build a strong reputation as a service for gamers and developers that treats them well. It never seemed to balance out though, probably because people just were never really into buying games from them.

    I truly don't get the people that outright hate them though, even for their exclusivity grabs. I also might be mildly biased since I know how much worse devs are treated at other companies.

  • Two jokes in one

    Jump

  • To start, I'm sorry you had to go through that. My spouse and I had similar experiences while trying to conceive.

    Loss is not funny to most people due to the contrast, but because of the sheer audacity of it's existence. The gaming webcomic that it was a part of had already run for years, focused around 1-dimensional characters making low-brow jokes and silly violent scenarios centered within mid-2000s "randomness". Suddenly, in 2008, the creator releases Loss, a manipulative, tone deaf strip about one of the worst physical and emotional traumas imaginable, shocking readers and earning infamy. Basically, it's a meme because it's so fucked. It's why people who share it only refer to the work superficially by name or pattern, rather than by content, almost like a tragedy.

    Looking for lemmy.world alternative.

    Jump

  • I'm on lemmy.zip as well and have been happy. Gravitates towards tech, recently defederated a few extremist instances (by a vote), good uptime, and run by some seemingly cool people.
