I feel like this works on multiple fronts. 1. It gives off big tough guy targeted shirt energy that's bound to give them a rush beyond what a white Monster can offer and will surely impress the waitress at Chili's. Example of the targeted shirts I'm talking about: ![](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/f45c2bdb-f5b0-42ab-b450-64f38b514b26.webp) 2. It hits people with the anger than immediately follows up with the confusion. "Shouldn't the mom be riding them?" "Is this implying my mom is into pegging?" 3. Harley Davidson is the Supreme of middle aged dads and they'll buy whatever has their logo.

What video game about the Vietnam war is your favorite?

    Thanks for the suggestion. That does really neat and I think I'll check it out.

    The VCLauncher looks like it might be able to help the game run on modern operating systems so I think I'll see if that works.

  • I've played a fair amount of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and had a fair amount of fun with it. I liked the jungle combat that added some stealth elements and weapons that were present. To be clear I don't mean to sound insensitive. I know about the Vietnam war and how distasteful a hero shooters around it could be.

    Maybe there could be a whole line of bee theft protection gear. Imagine a subwoofer that plays a low buzzing sound or fake hives for the passenger seat.

    Need something uncomfortably sticky in a hurry? Try the stickinator. The plan is to replace the disinfectant with Kool Aid and the UV light with an Easy Bake Oven bulb. With people being less cautious of COVID 19 these devices are probably getting cheaper and what modern consumer doesn't love brand crossovers?

    I originally posted this to !shitty_million_dollar_ideas@lemmy.dbzer0.com but I feel like it would be a better fit for a writing prompt. I feel like there's plenty of chances for humorous situations like Jesus wearing a noticeably fake beard and production staff getting people to sign NDAs.

    Some people at work were kicking up toilet seat lids and angering the people doing work on the other side of the wall. It made me think about the Lunk Alarm but then I realised it would probably go off if someone took a loud shit. I've attached a link to what the Lunk Alarm sounds like for those that don't know. It's pretty close to an air raid siren that's triggered by noise.

  • [Weekly thread] What have you been watching this week? 7th of April
  • CorrodedCranium CorrodedCranium Now 100%

    I watched the 2007 version of Funny Games and Alien Nation.

    I didn't think either was that great. I'm wondering if 70s movie called Funny Games is better.

    Alien Nation was a somewhat generic buddy cop film with an alien being one of the cops and the other being a bigot. The whole movie feels like a not so subtle metaphor and the actual aliens don't really have a unique role or identity.

  • Programmers got PSP games running on the PlayStation Portal, then “responsibly reported” the exploit so it could be patched

    I'm not surprised. TheFloW has done this before with PS4/5 exploits . A lot of players don't update their firmware in the hopes they'll be able to run something like HEN.

    Putting the roleplay back in the RPG was a huge reason for Cyberpunk 2077's recent metro and romance updates, says associate game director: 'It's easy to overlook'
  • CorrodedCranium CorrodedCranium Now 100%

    Grand Theft Auto IV gave players choice with actions instead of dialogue but I feel like the end result was similar to Cyberpunk.

    Characters you decide not to kill will often help you for a bit but it doesn't drastically effect the story. You still hit a notable point of no return that only really comes into play at the very end.

    Personally that feels more like an adventure game. I don't think Cyberpunk is very unique in what it did.

  • CorrodedCranium CorrodedCranium Now 100%

    I feel like you could say that about most games though. I wouldn't say Cities Skylines is an RPG but you are fulfilling the role of a mayor. Chirper adds to the immersion aspect but I don't think that's enough to shift the genre.

    Maybe it's a hot take though. Kind of similarly I wouldn't call F.E.A.R. a horror game. I'd say it's an FPS with horror elements.

    How so? To mean it felt like Grand Theft Auto IV. You go around doing jobs for individuals and get thrown a handful of choices and possible romance options along the way but it still feels very linear.

    Maybe it's because I associate roleplaying with the idea of player choice but I really don't think it added a ton to the RPG aspect. World depth? Sure but not by much.

  • The I ♥ NY shirt is so incredibly popular you don't even need to travel to New York to get it and it's been ripped off around the world. But what about people that don't ♥ New York? It's an untapped market. The attached image is an early draft. What does it mean to tolerate New York? I don't know. Another version could say I Am Indifferent Towards New York.

    Yeah. Pull it and go to a different floor and look around. You aren't standing around waiting for them unless you have some weird 1930s pull station

    Strap on catheters is the way to go. Install some fiber optic rgb lighting down the length of the tube, add some flow sensors and wifi, then you'll be printing money.

    I own Stardew Valley but I am avoiding using the Google Play store when possible. While I could just sign into Aurora Store with my Google account I think I'd need to install Google Play Services so I am wondering if I could crack the game myself. I think in the past people used Lucky Patcher but I have tried it with other games that I own with no luck. I've looked through the megathread and it seems like there are versions of Stardew Valley uploaded to Mobilism but a majority of them are modded for things like infinite stamina and money. The version without mods on Mobilism also appears to be re-uploaded from Apk Vision which isn't in the megathread.

    Let's say the PC doesn't count and you aren't taking into account backwards compatibility, emulation, online play, homebrew games, and the cost/availability of games. I feel like I'd want to choose the PS3. Like the Xbox 360 it had a decent lifespan and a lot of games were produced for it. A lot of which are already some of my favorites. The only things that would make hesitant are I feel like a lot of modern games are larger and have open worlds which I feel like that could be nice in the long run and many of my favorite games for the PS3 have been re-released.

    Kind of like a Google Home or Amazon Echo but instead of being triggered by something like "Hey Google" or "Alexa" it's triggered by sneezes. It's whole purpose would be to say things like "bless you" or [whatever the regional response is to a sneeze](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_to_sneezing) Of course it would have to be connected to the internet so that we can sell sneeze analytics to Amazon for targeted advertising.

    I believe I was previously using [PojavLauncher](https://github.com/PojavLauncherTeam/PojavLauncher), it came bundled with my Retroid Pocket 3+, but I could have sworn it was wrapped up in some kind of controversy. I could easily be blending together memories of PojavLauncher and [PolyMC](https://www.ign.com/articles/hijacking-of-popular-minecraft-launcher-by-rogue-developer-raises-malware-fears) but I thought it had something to do with people using pirated versions of the game with PojavLauncher. Either way, is PojavLauncher still the way to go? I'm not a fan of the micro transactions Bedrock edition offers.
