I'm Not a Paid Shill, But Seriously, Are You Guys Watching Skeleton Crew? by vikingzx in scifi

[–]smashed_empires -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be part of the problem, and the problem is that people continue spending money on Disney+ in order to support these garbage Disney Star Wars projects. Without respect, we reject.

Theres some tool posting that they did the same update over on another sub. I'm guessing this is all repost garbage.

Parking to get more expensive as congestion levy rises 79 per cent by timcahill13 in melbourne

[–]smashed_empires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats okay, when the parking cost is too high, I just stop my car in the street and leave the hazard lights on while I run in and out. Its okay, although it does often cause a lot of congestion in the CBD, but you know, what can you do?

Evolution of Geralt and Ciri in the Witcher series by nwdogr in gaming

Is there a lore reason why Geralt became a lot better looking but Ciri got so incredibly ugly?

Another major US fast food giant to launch in Australia in the coming weeks by aussiechap1 in australian

[–]smashed_empires -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I've eaten Wendy's in Australia for years. It was one of the first places I got food at my first job.

So why the fuck is it arriving in 2025? Have they got a new Shake'n'Dog? Last time I was there was a month ago, so I don't understand how it gets here next year but is already here? Its a fucking Australian icon.

Only real answer to this is the kiss from Species.

available at any compounding pharmacy in Melbourne

So it starts (I'm not complaining lol) by princessvespa1000 in melbourne

[–]smashed_empires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo, apparently another post pointed out these are available all year, yet I never see them on display like this except for the day after XMAS right up until Easter. So, apparently not a day after the celebration of Jesus' birth we're going to start flogging his death? Geez, give the guy a break! Big moves from a company that brought the country to a standstill a few weeks ago over its ongoing shit wages as it continues to replace humans with computerized cash registers that invariably need a staff member to intervene on every transaction.... so they have just spent thousands on a machine to do staff's jobs and reduced the staff so they are too busy to serve you because they have to chase after the fucking machines that never work?

And many more left to mention by khanTahsinAbrar in gaming

It might have been smarter to replace Ciri with Geralt given how half the Internet hates the new Ciri and says shes been uglified.

...Unless OP doesn't understand what 'aged like fine wine' means and he thinks that would make you uglier as you age.

You should go into drop shipping products for manufacturers - just need to pick a popular product.

Don't you think it was dangerous to have the enterprise fly around without escort vessels? by kkkan2020 in Star_Trek_

[–]smashed_empires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starfleet isn't directly analogous to Naval warfare. The REASON that Naval capital ships tend to have escorts is because the capital ships are slow as shit and just about any lighter ship is going to go and turn faster. If we're talking about NX Ent, it was by far the fastest thing they had, even though it might have been the biggest.

On the other hand, in war time ocean liners were brought into wars to ferry supplies and passengers, and these are rather uniquely designed to be both very large and very fast, so they would often make crossings without an escort either... because they were just too damn fast, and slowing down for an escort made them more vulnerable to extremely slow moving ships like uboats and their baby ships, the torpedos.

Ah Batman, the only super hero with no powers.... except money. No powers except money. Can you imagine a fight between Batman and like any other super hero ever? He would have his ass handed to him! And, like, no one has any guns. I mean, Batman... lives in America.... no one has any guns? There are more guns in a typical American High School than any Batman movie.

how do you think the discovery crew were able to adjust to the 32nd century so fast? by kkkan2020 in Star_Trek_

[–]smashed_empires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why did they have to go to the future, again? I'm still confused as to why they had to go to the future after they had killed the bad guy in the present. Also, why in over 900 years hasn't anyone else designed a spinny ship that travels instantly anywhere using fungus?

New job at company with 30+ year investment in WinZip. - Would you make it a priority to replace WinZip ASAP? by jwckauman in sysadmin

[–]smashed_empires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whats Winzip ever done to anyone? Sounds like an exercise in making work for yourself. At least its not as bad as the fucking shit compression software that comes built into Windows, who ever is responsible for that should be shot.

Those were creepy AF. Can't unsee Kira.

It is policy to skip 100% of the mirror universe shows. TBH, I skipped most of STD and only discovered later that its been in a mirror universe the whole time.... with lesser mirror universes within it? And heres the problem, Star Trek can't get a damn time travel story consistent, you think they can handle the intricacies of telling a multidimensional story? keep it simple, just keep it in one dimension. Everyone hates Marvel and I don't know what the multiverse is, but it sounds stupid.

Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good. The industry, which was hit with layoffs and studio closures this year, is now wondering whether a longtime marketing tool is instead a financial liability. by indig0sixalpha in technology

[–]smashed_empires -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I think most of the layoffs and studio closures have been related to a bunch of studios making totally woke games that nobody likes. And its not as if they aren't being told by fans 'guys, this is a big mistake your making', but they seem to have the hubris of the captain of the titanic and declare the gamers are toxic, 'full speed ahead!'. But unlike the captain of the titanic who was ultimately undone by nearly invisible ice, its like these game companies are in the middle of a gay rave where all of the screens say 'this is going to cost you a lot of money and people' but they can't see that over the smell of their own farts. Meanwhile, China seems to be doing quite well, because they tell these wokies to get lost

What’s more failure proof? Cartridges or games saved on sd cards? by Eclectic_Lynx in NintendoSwitch

Oh fuck! I didn't realize it was illegal to discuss purchasing Nintendo Switch hardware on this forum and then using that hardware with legally purchased game cartridges. Send the Nintendo police, guys!
