Considering they referred to it as “an Xbox” instead of a specific generation I’m going to assume they weren’t around when the first Xbox was still a thing so they’re probably new to this.

Not me but: “I was showing the new system to anons father. Have more luck teaching a rock how to float.”

Technology connections did a video on it. Basically the lights which lasted forever either; sucked at giving light and/or sucked at sucking power.

Light manufacturers got together and made a standard which was a sweet spot of power efficiency, longevity and light output. Unfortunately, being decent at all three meant no longer sucking at two to boost longevity.

I’m currently going through a pretty bad divorce where my wife cheated on me, drained my accounts, lawyered up and send a letter demanding $280,000 and isn’t signing documents or responding to her legal council.

I’d love to get it all finalised and end that chapter of my life but realistically I can’t force her to do anything. I can’t make her sign documents, I can’t make her talk to her lawyer. So ultimately it is what it is.

Frankly, that saying has (since our separation) become an anthem to me. I can understand why you’d think it’s defeatism etc if it’s someone speaking of something they can legitimately do something about but truely sometimes it really is what it is.

Can’t forget rule 4!

  1. All robots must have red LEDs in their eyes which activate when said robot becomes evil.

The factory must grow!

Thanks for sharing that! That’s a really good explanation for what’s causing it. I’d heard a few different parts to why it’s happening but that post makes it really understandable.

I still have my pledge to SC, ~$25 so not a big one, but I’ve all but lost hope on a release of the full scope of the game as it was set out years ago thanks to the massive amount of feature creep and mismanagement.

Then 99% of those were created on Lemmy.world,

The instance I’m a part of has had issues federating with Lemmy.world for a lot of months now and it sucks because that’s where a large part of the community congregated and so it’s where a lot of content exists.

So you’re saying I’d need to remove 4-5 ribs?

They’re rebranding to Halo Studios and switching from an in-house engine to Unreal Engine for all future games.
