Yeah, it's like they are creating a GOG seal for games that are basically only available because of the special work that GOG does.

sorry i don't know star trek, so i do not know who this woman is (fake nerd, i know). reverse image search only narrowed it down to star trek, and there are too were too many different star trek shows to figure it out without extensive research. please feel free to impress the class below with your star trek knowledge.

It doesn't load in my Lemmy app, but confirmed it does work in a browser.

here's a link if you want to see the comic in full-size: https://nitter.poast.org/pic/orig/media%2FGcMV-uEWsAAKKN8.jpg

 

[alt text: a screenshot of a reply tweet by @SmoothDunk on Twitter. The original tweet from @brianstelter says: "Elon Musk 'has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won, dining with him on the patio at times' and 'weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles,' @kaitlancollins reports". The reply tweet from @SmoothDunk says: "donald trump has opened a box that can never be resealed". Included with the tweet is a 4-panel comic by Smooth Dunk. The first panel depicts a cartoon of Donald Trump laying in bed with his eyes open and looking grumpy. A cartoon Elon Musk is next to him in bed, looking at him with admiration and saying, "donald". The second panel shows Trump on a golf course in golf attire and holding a club, and he has the same grumpy expression. Musk is peeking out of Trump's golf bag and saying, "donald". In the third panel, Trump is stripped down to his underwear, and he is standing in a room with tiled walls and he is receiving a spray tan. Again, Trump has a grumpy expression on his face. Musk is standing next to him, also stripped down to his underwear, and he is saying, "donald". In the fourth and final panel, Trump is standing in his bedroom and wearing only a towel, and he is staring at a closet full of blue suits with the same grumpy expression. Musk is also in the closet, hanging upside-down by his knees. He has a fresh spray-tan, and he is again saying, "donald".]

For the chonks, of course

 

[alt text: a photo of a large black cat sleeping on top of a smaller white cat, who appears to be getting crushed by the weight of the larger cat. The cats are both laying in a crescent-moon shape, and the photo is taken from above such that the black cat obscures our view of the white cat. There is a caption on the photo, which says: "Solar eclipse."]

Counterpoint: both of those ideas being patented meant no competitor could use them while the ideas were relevant. And in both cases, the patenting company made like one promising example of the patented idea and then barely used it after that. Wouldn't it have been better for consumers if we could have had loading screen minigames back when long loading screens were still relevant?

[–] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 15 points 3 days ago

I completely agree. In my memory the third panel doesn't exist.

[–] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 15 points 4 days ago

well no, actually. I was referring to the liberals who sat at home during Trump’s first presidency while children were being separated from their families and locked up in cages.

 

[alt text: a 4-panel comic by Safely Endangered. The first panel depicts Kirby in the doctor's office, telling a doctor, "I don't feel well". The doctor resembles Dr. Mario. In the second panel, the doctor is placing his stethoscope on Kirby's "chest" and saying, " Ok, breathe in." The third panel depicts Kirby inhaling and sucking the doctor's entire body into his mouth. The fourth and final panel shows Kirby wearing the doctor's head mirror, and he is standing in the doorway of the doctor's office, looking at the receptionist, and saying, "Sharon, send in my next patient".]

The three patents—all filed in Japan between May and July 2024—draw similarities between Palworld and 2022's 2022's Pokémon Legends: Arceus specifically. Their descriptions concern game mechanics like "riding an object" or throwing a ball to capture and possess a character in virtual spaces.

Wait...so the patents didn't even exist when Palworld was released into EA? or am I missing something?

Who is this article targeting?

Liberals who sat at home during Trump's first presidency while children were being separated from their families and locked up in cages.

That's what has kept my partner on x. They also go on way less frequently than they used to, but there's still some fandom stuff that is only there.

 

[alt text: Large text that says "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse". Below the text is a screenshot of an online multiple choice exam. In the screenshot, there is a photo of a sloppy joe sandwich on a plate. Below the photo, there is question text that says, "[Question] 68. What is this loose meat in a tomato sauce on a bun called?". The four answer options are: "Messy Mike", "Sloppy Joe", "Filthy Kevin", and "Dirty Andy".]

 

[alt text: a screenshot of a tweet by @delaney_nolan, which says, "Biden/Harris saw this polling and decided to keep unconditionally arming Israel". Below the tweet is a screenshot from an article, which states: "In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they'd be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they'd be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely."]

 

[alt text: a photo of a man setting up a series of domino tiles to fall. The tiles are all different sizes, and are arranged in order from smallest to largest. The man is about to push the smallest domino, which is labeled, "1 bad study on wolf behavior". The largest domino at the other end of the chain is labeled, "Deranged erotica and bioessentialist pseudoscience".]

 

[alt text: text that says, "me leaving the bakery after stealing a baguette". Below the text is a frame from a Discovery Channel style of CGI animation, depicting a human that is featureless, naked, and colored green. The person's mouth and cheeks are stretched out horizontally in a cartoonish way, as if they are hiding a baguette inside their mouth.]

 

[alt text: a screenshot of a tweet and a reply tweet. The original tweet, by @earthcurated, says, "Besides your phone, wallet and keys, what do you carry with you everyday?" The reply tweet, by @pastapilled, says, "the curse".]

 

[alt text: a photo of two ants looking at each other. One of them has a caption that says, "bro, we're gonna get so lit". In the bottom left corner of the photo, there is an edited-in image of a box of peppermint antacid tablets.]
