  • It's 2025, And We're Getting A Brand New 8-Bit Game Console

  • If Final Fantasy and other older games can have submenus and the ability to select individual characters to name objects, so can ports of old games on new systems.

  • That's going to continue being a problem for the foreseeable future, apparently the phama companies rein in distribution (thereby creating shortages) in order to avoid having more pervasive "empty shelf" shortages somehow. I'm not on the inside track of exact details, but first heard about it during COVID when they were able to blame it on "distribution & manufacturing shortfalls", and people were coming up short on stuff like ADD/psychiatric/pain medication.

  • If anyone has direct access to the developers, could you ask them to release an version of Nethack? I swear to God, I never get tired of getting massacred in that game (or dying from falling off my horse, down stairs, etc.).

  • This too, especially the way that a lot of retail has started to graft pharmacies onto their stores.

  • For the first time in history a person with Type 1 Diabetes has been freed from needing injections, by having their own cells be reprogrammed to produce insulin.

    Jump

  • Insulin used to be costly and complicated to manufacture, now it costs $25-35 for vials of standard basic varieties in non-insane countries with proper regulation of the pharmaceutical and medical industries (sorry united States, this doesn't include you). This treatment was almost unimaginable just at the turn of the millennium, but is now reality, affordable therapy shouldn't be impossible although it may take time to lay that groundwork.

  • Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent

    Jump

  • Agreed, they know the risks and should know better, but that's what the situation has come to in some jurisdictions where it's impossible to keep on qualified personnel for (relatively) low salaries. "You get what you pay for" incarnate.

  • Not quite like window shopping in a department store per se, but essentially the same if I can't find what I was looking for and search for alternatives on the way out. I've gotten weird looks sometimes when this happens, including cases where I'm asked for a receipt. "You didn't have what I was looking for" or "What receipt? I didn't buy anything" seem to satisfy staff inasmuch as I'm not a tiny person and aren't inclined to take shit from rent-a-cop security or management - just try to detain me, I'm not waiting for the cops, I'm dealing with it first hand right away.

  • Fuck grace and kindness, at least enucleate their eye. Getting murdered IRL isn't like in books, TV series or movies, you don't just fall down like a sack of grain. It hurts the whole time, don't forgive someone who's trying to do it to you.

  • Fuck, that was so brutal. Even given what I've learned about cops over the years, this case is particularly egregious, that poor fucking kid was murdered by pigs and paramedics with fucking ketamine of all things.

  • Pardoned Capitol rioter arrested outside Obama's home with firearms sentenced to time served

    Jump

  • It's a part of standard sentencing guidelines, what's normally referred to as "good behaviour" while in jail/prison can contribute to reduction of sentences. The problem here is what you see quite often though, in that the disposition of the judge plays an important role in determining whether or not it's applied - specifically in this case, to someone found guilty of stalking and apparently intending to assassinate former POTUS Obama. The former sentencing for participating in the Jan. 6th riots should have compounded the sentence and prevented early release, but this is where the U.S. judiciary is at present unfortunately.

  • Online porn showing choking to be made illegal, government says

    Jump

  • I can't help but feeling as though the exact same pearl clutching wieners are behind this as the growing attempts at overall porn ban, as though restriction of access to the content will somehow cut the legs out from under the already widespread (albeit uncommon) practice.

    To wit, people aren't choking each other during sex or risking David Carradine'ing themselves while wanking because of some shit-production porn, they're doing it because it's enjoyable to them (choker and choke-ee). I'm not going to kinkshame except to say that there's no method of getting a head-rush that I'd personally recommend, but based on what sex-choke enjoyers that I know have said, it makes them cum extra-hard. So... there's that, the mega-cums.

  • Beat me to this response by an hour. Who the fuck do they think they are, right? What if I can't find what I'm looking for, or was just browsing?

  • Jury acquits D.C. 'sandwich guy' charged with chucking a sub at a federal agent

    Jump

  • I'm not aware of that specific case, but yeah that tracks. I've read about incidents where the cops were enraged about things like victims of traffic accidents or assaults by officers being soaked in blood, getting it on them, and stating that they 'didn't want to risk getting hepatitis/AIDS' as justification for declining to provide lifesaving medical intervention. In some cases, the delay in care led to deaths, while they stood by, and weren't censured by their departments.

    They've been using seizures from acute health incidents and tazers both as justification for escalation of force because "suspects were resisting" for quite a while.

  • Cops do it constantly. TBH I'd chalk that level of bullshit up to them constantly using ChatGPT to write their reports now, except that they've been pulling the same bullshit forever and getting away with it nearly every single time.

  • distracts French guards by surreptitiously dropping wheel of cheese and pack of cigarettes on floor

  • The Louvre's video security password was reportedly 'Louvre'

    Jump

  • Speaking as someone who's worked contracts in secure facilities, I can say from experience that no one working in a place like this is even mildly surprised. The extent to which 'learned blindness' is applied should worry people still assuming that vaunted organizations or even government facilities are protected by strong security policies instead of mostly by the base restriction of non-authorized personnel from work areas.

    Not naming names, but if your org doesn't use the classic Admin & Password defaults, and forces you to renew your terminal passwords on a regular basis, don't write it down on a Post It and stick it to your fucking monitor where anyone walking past can see. The sheer scale of the incompetence here is galling, in that teenagers have a better sense for passwords than the Louvre security & tech team apparently.
