I guess we gotta burn that bridge when we come to it.

On the Internet, what is a dead giveaway that someone is actually a kid? in c/[email protected]

Why does he look so much like Pete Davidson

Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 1 points 4 months ago

Was gonna suggest the same thing! I like Net.

Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Any of the PAID games from Kairosoft. Dungeon Village, Grand Prix Story, Game Dev Story. He has since re-released all his games as f2p microtransaction junk, but the full price versions are generally really good.

I mean tbf I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact cosplay at a Comicon.

You're right, no human being stacks rocks like this. in c/[email protected]

as a compositor, that is literally my entire job.

Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So not to nitpick here, but Juneteenth isn't intended to remember the destruction of any neighborhood. Black Wall Steet, Central Park, etc. were all significant things that happened, but not related to Juneteenth. It's the day that the last slaves in Texas were actually declared free by the Union army on June 19th in Galveston.

If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work? in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was/am a compositor/vfx artist for film and tv, but the industry has imploded over the last year so it's been a few months.

Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be? in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah I dunno man. Ever since I made my account, half the posts I've seen have been complaining about whatever the hell tankies are, and almost all the rest are jokes about arch linux. The politics stuff seems more niche than just "left", but I haven't dug too deeply into it. There are other active communities if you dig around. Mostly I dig on star trek memes and programmer humor and it's a good time.

I wish I knew another language in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde -1 points 5 months ago

Fully agree with this, homie. Wife and I lived in Montreal area as temporary foreign workers for like 4 years. Tried so hard to fit in and be polite, but would essentially get spit at or ignored everytime my accent was a tiny bit off. Didn't say it perfectly the Quebecois way? Fuck you. Ask something in English? Hope you're in a tourist area, otherwise fuck you. Want your medical records/labs in a different language? Fuck you. Ask for English menus? Fuck you and now your waitress hates you.

Also watched a friend from France repeatedly get told he's speaking French wrong. Also they have like an actual department of language policing.

Quebec is poopy buttsauce. 0/10. Happy to be gone. Celine Dion is overrated. Sorry not sorry.

Winamp is going open source, and it feels like the early 2000s again in c/[email protected]

[–] FryHyde 2 points 6 months ago

I've used so many other FOSS solutions to replace winamp at this point, and they're all functionally the same. I remember liking the interface of Clementine at some point, but honestly I don't think I have any loyalty to any specific music software anymore.
