also is that the fuckin like wavebird (? iirc) thingy?? way ahead of it’s time

PlainSimpleGarak,

Wavebird wireless GameCube controller FTW! I still have mine, 20 years later. Still works too. I bust it out once or twice a year when we play Mario Party 5 or 7.

b000rg,

I broke my first one raging at Soul Calibur 2, but my replacement is still going strong!

It’s crazy that I still have a ton of gamecube controllers in perfect condition that have hundreds of hours of use each and yet I’ve got a box of useless joycons.

They literally don’t make them like they used to.

PlainSimpleGarak,

I’ve had to throw away 3 Switch (3rd party) controllers due to drift issues, and I had to send my stock joy cons back to Nintendo for repair due to drift. Ridiculous.

Its not too difficult to swap out the thumb sticks with hall effect versions and (mostly) solve the drift problem.

PlainSimpleGarak,

Probably, but that’s not the consumers responsibility to fix a defective product. Now maybe after many hours of use, but mine was drifting within the first year.

Entropywins,

I still have my original joycons on my release day switch and never had an issue with the joycons on my oled or my other set bought used…I must be lucky

Psythik,

Does anyone else get irrationally upset when people leave pizza boxes wide open like that? You’re letting all the heat escape!

Meanwhile I have to keep everything I eat in a food warmer up until the very minute I’m about to eat it. Warm foods taste so much better when they’re hot.

PurplebeanZ,

I want the heat to escape. I’m a weirdo who likes my food to be just above lukewarm.

AA5B,

What if you drop your controller? Do you want controller in your pizza? Pizza on your controller?

This is the same as the toilet lid conversation, isn’t it? If you’ve ever witnessed something falling in or even heard of it, for the love of god, why aren’t you keeping that closed when it’s not in use?

PurplebeanZ,

I’m lost as to how you got from food temperature to game controller?

AA5B,

Priority(controller) > priority(food temp)

Entropywins,

Sometimes I don’t turn on the light, so I don’t have to turn it back off…am I doing this right?

RedAggroBest,

I just take so long to eat anything that as much as I might savor those first hot bites, I know I can’t eat fast enough to enjoy more than that unless I wanna warm it back up before every bite

Psythik,

Well that’s where the food warmer comes into play. If you don’t have one, then you can use the oven or toaster oven (set it to 140°F if it’ll go that low). Take out one portion at a time and the rest will stay warm until you’re ready to eat it. You can even add a small bowl of water to the bottom of the oven to help keep the food from drying out.

Gale of Darkness to replace Colosseum and I am sold. Give me a TV stand and a chair with a back and this is golden.

Aux,

That’s not how men live, that’s how teenagers live. The place lacks a woodworking bench, a 3D printer farm, a chef knife wall with an industrial wok burner, and a rack of mountain bikes. Also not a single cat in the picture, savages…

NaoPb,

Good point.

Not to mention it’s clearly been vacuumed

Aux,

Why shouldn’t it be vacuumed? Roomba exists.

ThunderclapSasquatch,

I mean, I just vacuumed. Clean carpet is nice to lay on and think

refalo,

raw as hell

what did they mean by this?

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I may be a man, but my back hurts just looking at that picture.

Give me a comfy chair if I’m going to game and drink and eat pizza.

Also, there is a distinct lack of doggies.

thorbot,

No dogs or cats. No chair. Otherwise is fire

Notyou,

Also, there is a distinct lack of doggies.

That’s what it was. I was wondering why it looked odd. The carpet is too clean. They must have just moved in. There should be dog hair in it.

oh nice, pizza! *grabs a slice

stop drinking stuff like milkshake or chocolate milk with pizza and hamburgers please, what the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously jeez…

Curious as to what the scientific explanation of why this is bad is?

BreadOven,

There is none. They’re just salty because they’re lactose intolerant (maybe). They wish they could do that.

jjjalljs,

I mean… it’s not like the place is filthy. No piles of dirty clothes or dishes.

Also I’m reminded of a woman I know who has a very nicely decorated home, but mounted her TV so none of the ports are accessible. Want to plug something into the hdmi port? Well, you can’t. TV looks nice on the wall, though.

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

To be honest with a smart TV most of the ports are useless. Most women I know don’t have many extra things to plug in to the TV

PrettyFlyForAFatGuy,

Until a year or two after you buy your “smart” tv when it doesnt have the resources to run netflix with subtitles on because apparently that’s too intensive

speaking from experience here.

Smart TVs are dumb, set top boxes are king

zalgotext,

Yeah I don’t need pesky wires or plugs to connect my surround sound system to my fancy smart TV, I can just use hopes and dreams

helpmyusernamewontfi,

I laughed for way too long at this

Psythik,

TBF you can still use the optical port.

Like I said to the person who started this conversation, why even bother with more than one HDMI port? Once you hook up a PC, literally all the games and media you could ever want to consume is available to you. Hell, if you don’t game and don’t need a PC for office work, you could get away with just the TV alone.

Not saying that TV manufacturers should start removing ports; just making a point.

echodot,

I have a sound bar that can apparently connect via Bluetooth but I can’t work out why anyone would do that. You’ve gone to the trouble of getting an expensive soundbar so why would you then connect it via an inferior system that results in worse sound quality?

RampantParanoia2365,

Does it say there’s no delay?

teamevil,

That’s not possible… definitely going to have some latency on Bluetooth.

Psythik,

Yeah seriously; why do TVs even come with more than one HDMI port? A PC and a smart TV alone all the games and media one could ever need in their household. Hell, if you don’t game and don’t have a work from home job, you could get away with a just the TV itself.

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah the point of my comment was you guys need all that shit, most women and some dudes I know use the TV as just that, no need to plug anything else in just a fucking slab with pictures moving on it. Perfect.

Coreidan,

The only thing I have issue with is putting the greasy pizza box on the carpet.

No reason to destroy your carpet just because you want to be minimalist.

At least put a blanket down. Then you can just pop it in the wash.

LemmyKnowsBest,

does grease soak through the bottom of pizza boxes?

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Not if you get good pizza

EvacuateSoul,

That is a hot and ready for sure

howrar,

Says someone who’s never doused their pizza in oil.

Coreidan,

That makes no sense at all.

Good pizza is just as greasy as bad pizza.

By nature a pizza is greasy due to all of the melted cheese.

That’s like saying a good burger isn’t greasy. Of course it’s going to be greasy.

MilitantVegan,

Both statements are entirely valid, as neither pizza nor burgers require meat or cheese.

Coreidan,

Good point but if you work in a pizza restaurant you’ll realize almost NO ONE orders pizza without cheese. There is the very rare order it happens but it’s extremely rare.

So technically you are right but in practicality you are way off.

However with a burger it’s the meat that is greasy. Not so much the cheese. So unless you’re having a non-beef burger (not really a burger) it’s going to be greasy no matter what you put on it.

MilitantVegan,

True, restaurant/delivery pizza - even vegan options - are almost universally super oily.

Non-meat burgers are most definitely burgers, and do have the benefits of not only having more variety, but are easily made to be actually healthy if desired.

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

I’ve had good cheesy pizzas that have less grease. If you pick up the pizza and the bottom of the box is damp it’s too greasy.

Coreidan,

What do you consider “good” pizza?

I’ve made a lot of pizza in my day and it’s damn near impossible to avoid grease.

It comes from the pepperoni and cheese and anything else fatty that you top it with.

Are you saying good pizza is made with ingredients that don’t have fatty grease? You’d have to use low fat cheese, etc. To me that isn’t “good” pizza.

As for pizzas I get from restaurants I’ve never had one that didn’t have at least some grease in the pizza box. This is coming from someone that lives in the NY area where pretty much all pizza there is gourmet authentic pizza and not franchise pizza like dominos.

I think our definitions of good pizza are way different.

Good pizza should have some grease to it, otherwise the ingredients are questionable.

mac,
@mac@infosec.pub avatar

Literally had pizzas with these ingredients that weren’t too oily and greasy. It’s possible and tastes so much better.

Coreidan,

Oohhhhh ya. That’s why you can’t recycle pizza boxes. They soak up grease.

Take a look at the bottom of a pizza box next time you order pizza.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I never order pizza. I’m a healthy person with six-pack abs but dangit my doctor told me yesterday a recent breast biopsy came back malignant so I have to get surgery next week 😭, So we can all try our damndest to be healthy, but cancer doesn’t discriminate.

InFerNo,

This is going to sound obvious but that depends on how greasy the pizza is. It can happen.

dumpsterlid,

No reason to destroy your carpet

I would argue there is no sane reason to have wall to wall carpeting in the first place in most situations especially if you have pets.

Coreidan,

I can’t disagree with you there.

Perhaps this gentleman decided he didn’t want carpets anymore and doesn’t care what happens to them until the day comes to rip them out.

However my guess is he never even thought that far ahead.

meliaesc,

Likely a rented apartment where you have no choice.

Coreidan,

All the more reason to not fuck the rugs up. Unless you want to donate your security deposit.

Karyoplasma,

The pizza in general looks nasty. Too small in diameter, too much dough for the toppings, too much grease. I’ve had frozen pizza that looked better than this abomination.

Psythik,

Also they left the lid open so the pizza is getting cold quick.

Coreidan,

Agreed. This is your run of the mill franchise pizza. It’s all garbage imo compared to real authentic pizza.

Sadly most people have never experienced authentic pizza because out west it’s all franchise pizza. You gotta come to the east coast for the good stuff.

seth,

You really don’t. You can get all kinds of regional cuisines outside the regions they originated and became popular, pizza styles being perhaps the most ubiquitous.

zalgotext,

Just completely ignoring the unique beauty that is Midwest/Chicago/tavern style thin crust pizza. Or Detroit style pizza. Or any of the other various and delicious regional styles in the dozens of states between the coasts. Nope, the only pizza that exists is west coast franchises, and the ‘’‘real’‘’ stuff on the east coast.

Open yourself up to new experiences man, the world of pizza is wide and wild, and a ton of fun if you let loose of your elitist “the only ‘’‘real’‘’ pizza is east coast pizza” schtick.

Coreidan,

When I go to Detroit or Chicago I’ll be enthusiastic to try it. Never said I was against it. As long as it’s a legit restaurant and not dominos or some franchise shit.

But I am happy to shit on franchise pizza because it sucks in comparison to what you listed, or the east coast. Which is the entire point.

Feel free to disagree. I don’t care because my taste buds know the difference.

Theharpyeagle,

I mean to be fair, it looks like Little Caesars. The point of it is it’s cheap.
