That screen appears when booting a game, not the console itself.

Semi-related, in Burnout 3 someone misheard and muted the word ‘stuck’ in Chronic Future’s Time and Time Again. It will always be funny.

Ah yes I often use the Minecraft launcher to buy the latest AAA titles

May I share Wikipedia’s List of Lists of Lists

Wefwef and Voyager are the same app, they renamed it.

oh no, it’s in my head now

The people who spend money on awards are.

I can imagine there being at least a few power users that award regularly. Wasn’t there an award you could give out for $100 or something?

Ever since I saw this XKCD I’ve called it Squill

You are evil. I love you.

This is my first time hearing of xeyes… if those started appearing all over my screen I’d probably freak out too.

I’ve seen a small bit masking tape works best for the optical sensor prank. You could probably feel a whole post it dragging on the bottom of the mouse.

I guess if the mouse is wireless you could take the dongle out and put it back inside the mouse, too.

Does Beehaw allow users to create communities? I think only the admins there can, they might take requests though.

I’ve seen Lemmy.world allows user-created communities. They also have a no-trolling rule, but it looks to be geared towards bullying more than shitposting. Other than that I don’t know too many other instances, I’m pretty new to Lemmy myself.

I don’t think so, I’ve swapped motherboards several times since and the license has remained.

I used to borrow Windows keys off the old PCs in my office’s e-waste pile, my best guess is it’s one of those keys that’s somehow still activating each time I reinstall.

I have never once paid for Windows, yet at some point a digital license showed up on my Microsoft account and I’ve never gotten an Activate Windows prompt on any of my subsequent Windows installations.

Is Steam OS a full featured OS? I didn’t think you could do much outside of running Steam and its games.

My desktop PC is Windows 11, I’ve tried setting up dual booting but it never worked properly (probably because I wanted to have separate SSDs for each OS) so I just use Virtualbox if I need a different OS on there. I also have a laptop whose OS I change depending on what I need (generally Fedora, Win 10, or Debian) but I am considering shelling out for a Macbook as well.

I don’t like committing myself to one specific OS.

The only 3D Pokemon game I really enjoyed were the Gen 3 remakes. Granted those were the first Pokemon games I finished, but none of the 3D Pokemon games I’ve played since have felt as complete.

Every time a silicon mine is depleted they flood it. Boom, new lake.

They celebrate the occasion by releasing a new gen of processors.
