I was tasked with putting the letters on one of these signs for a few years, and the people who would send me messages had no interest in the actual physical dimensions of said sign so often it would read garbage like this. I’d then start purposely placing unrelated things on the same line, my favorite being: “YOGA.BOWLING LEAGUE SUNDAY 6PM”

Technology@lemmy.world•Class Action Lawsuit Accuses The Three Largest RAM Manufacturers Of Colluding To Drive Up PricesEnglish
50·7 days agoWell hold on now.
That’s basically exactly what happened during the RAM cartel of the early 2000’s. I think one guy went to jail for like 6 months, but other than that, yeah.

Technology@lemmy.world•Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC - 25th Jun 2026English
14·9 days agoI mean, they’ve been around for 35 years and they do something like 5 billion USD a year in revenue. I think they’re going to be fine.
I don’t necessarily want this iteration of Epic to be fine, but I’m sure they will be
No way! 68% of 120 is 120% of 68, so drop the 100% now i just need to figure out 20% of 68 or do i need 68% of 20 which is really just 6 tens plus 8% so divide 20 by 10, then times 6 which is 12, now we need 8% of 20 which is just 20% of 8 or whichdies
It’s like driving on a couch.

SteamOS and related technologies@lemmy.world•Gabe Newell, founder of Bellevue’s Valve, buys $70.8M Florida mansionEnglish
4·14 days agoHave did that because he built several industry leading video games, then built the largest online video game store front, and a hardware company the size most companies have for web dev.
The video game industry is larger than Hollywood and the music industry combined. Steam generated over 17 billion USD in revenue over 2025, with a team of around 350 full time employees.
One of the biggest reasons i stick around, is just the slower pace and lack of algorithms. If i check in the morning, there’s a good chance that the same content will be trending in the afternoon or evening so I’m less inclined to scroll.

9·15 days agoI tried out the whole traditional adult thing, and honestly, I’m a lot happier watching cartoons and playing video games.

Games@lemmy.world•A Baldur's Gate 2 remake is apparently in development, with the original co-lead designer returningEnglish
15·1 month agoBut why? Arguably, the only thing missing from bg1/2 enhanced editions are controller support, other then that they’re perfectly playable.
I mean, if you can handle 2e, which many people can’t.
Thus was happening at the same time they were being sued for (among other things) Embrace Extend Extinguish.
Ok but she’s not going to say no because of the implication.

Games@lemmy.world•60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast marketEnglish
8·2 months agoThis was supposed to be my upgrade cycle. I built our PC’s in 2021, and i tend to upgrade every 5 years. Between the pricing and industry collapse, and just plain having more fun with low spec games, i don’t know how long it’s going until i upgrade again.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Who grew up watching Beakmans World?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the fantasy book/series everyone should read?
2·3 months agoI mean, Rothfuss has produced a couple novellas, and Martin has some projects. I get it, but at the same time i wouldn’t blame either of them if they didn’t feel comfortable releasing another of their mainline series.
I want them to, and ten years is a long ass time, but nothing they produce will live up to the hype so that probably causes a lot of anxiety.
But maybe im projecting here. Idk. I feel like the same thing is the reason we don’t have a Half-Life 3 video game. The first two made such a huge impact in terms of tech and gameplay that nothing is going to live up to the hype. So you can either kill yourself trying to achieve unachievable levels of amazing, or go do something you want to do.
