It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it but the movie Mimic had bugs that had grown to the size of a human and taken on a vaguely human form in order to hunt us.

The movie used the reasoning that the bugs had developed basic lungs which enabled them to grow past the limits of their usual breathing apparatus.

No point to make here, I just remember it being cool that they put a small amount of thought into why the bugs could grow to human proportions.

Some mates and I backed way back in the day and only really started putting some decent play time into it recently. While it’s definitely still in-progress we were all surprised at what they’ve done and what’s been accomplished.

It’s an absolute shame about the amount of feature creep the game has experienced but even the experience available now is decent.

That’s pretty optimistic, assuming the price of eggs will go down. /s

“She obvs squats. Look but be subtle about it”:

Ah, good ol’ PVOD. Who’d ever forget PVOD, what a guy! or gal!

Anyway, completely unrelated but I once read that you should always use an acronym in full before abbreviation so that audiences who don’t know your jargon at least know the words you’re referencing.

It’s Premium Video On Demand according to my brief search btw.

Been playing Stellaris with friends since its release. We all still love the game but in the past couple of years it’s been almost impossible to play with a group of people due to network errors and desync. Hopefully this update fixes that.

I don’t even think I could hold a 30 second conversation with Eminem. I like his music but I feel we’d be like 2 aliens meeting each other. What I do know is that we’d both enjoy the hell out of those M&M’s! Hands down, better choice.

More like the hard *.

***gg*r

Still one of the most brutal parts of the series imo.

I kow wht yo men!

Really wouldn’t want to offend those advertisers!

The funny this is, because of the way language evolves, people start using alternative words to represent censored language and then those words get censored as well. This is leading to a weird cat and mouse internet cockney slang situation.

I swear I was learning about extra X and Y in high school 20 years ago and that studies (at the time) were showing correlation between different traits displayed by effected people. Just that alone shows incredible gender fluidity.

So where we are, 20 years later, you’d think we’d have a better understanding within society but instead somehow it’s literally regressed since then.

Is Papa censored as a joke or what? So many words are getting cancelled by Big Daddy Algo Rithm that I don’t even know what’s real anymore.

Over the years I’ve seen more getting around and Melon has flipped their reputation from “oh, cool a Tesla” to “poor bugger probably didn’t realise they were supporting fascism when they bought it”.

My mother is a career nurse and swears by this and I’m inclined to believe her. I’d love to see if numbers actually back it up or whether it’s sort of confirmation bias.

I spent so long making a reply to Dubyakay and you said just as much in a quarter of the words! Cheers!

This is an issue I see with Lemmy regarding Discord. Many people here seem to think of Discord as a messaging platform only. Which is weird because I don’t know anyone who uses it strictly for text. For example my friend group is probably 60% voice, 30% video/screen sharing & 10% text.

Does Matrix have screen sharing where multiple participants can screen share simultaneously yet? Because that’s the feature all of my friends use.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Discord, but if no one brings up screen sharing when Matrix is mentioned as an alternative then it’ll never be implemented.

If another service such as Matrix can built similar screen sharing into their applications then I’d be able to convince my friends to make the shift. As it stands there isn’t really a 1:1 equivalent.
