I just remember the pinball episode. Actually I remember almost nothing about the episode except a giant pinball showing up at the end. I don’t remember why that was so terrifying but it definitely left a mark for some reason.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Anyone know where I can buy or get books by the pound to start a new library for our local jail. To help them read and prep them for a GED?
25·5 months agoBe sure to check the jail’s donation policy. Many won’t let you just drop off books there. You may have to order the books through specific vendors and they may restrict what types of books are allowed.
I believe that people who live in states without income tax don’t need to file state taxes (at least usually, maybe there are exceptions). That includes:
- Alaska
- Florida
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Washington
- Wyoming
If my math is correct, about 21% of the US population live in one of those states.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It is impossible to beat every (single-player; possible; human-made content) video game
3·6 months agoHave you heard of the cancelled Penn and Teller video game Desert Bus?
It takes 8 hours to beat, requires your constant attention, and can’t be paused. I’d say that still falls into the “possible to beat” but you could keep pushing the limits further.
What if there were 10 levels like that but you can pause between levels? Still technically possible. What about 1000 levels? That requires almost a year of active playtime, but there are pro players with that many hours in their game. Where’s the limit? 10K? 50K? 500K? I don’t know.
Of course, this is all just a random thought experience on what it means for a game to be possible to beat. I don’t think there’s an empirical way to define the boundary between possible and impossible, but we could also just restrict it to “games that have been beaten at least once by someone and are provably beatable”.
Ultimately I do agree with you though. There are just too many games out there for this to be possible anyway.

171·6 months agoFuturama was revived multiple times. The quality of the Hulu revival may be debatable but the Comedy Central revival was undeniably successful.
Whether you like Family Guy or not, its revival was definitely a major financial success for Fox.

Thanks!
I also felt that way when I first started playing, so don’t lose hope! Just keep at it and you’ll get better. I also found it pretty helpful to watch some YouTube videos, particularly the ones from Balatro University.
This was also before they buffed blue seals, it previously gave you a random planet card if I remember correctly, as opposed to your most played hand which is genuinely useful.
What?! That sounds incredibly difficult! Hats off to you for beating Jokerless back then!
I really learned how much I had underestimated planet cards in general. The repeated payoff of blue seals is ridiculously powerful!

Drugs@lemmy.world•"Interesting drug price list from the new Epstein file release" - Hamilton Morris
2·6 months agoThis theory makes the most sense. Because not only is the half-life wrong but injecting LSD is highly unusual and wouldn’t work with blotters (you’d need it in liquid form instead)

1·6 months agoI’ll admit, I somehow missed the fact that it says half-life in the header. But like the other comments have pointed out that still doesn’t make sense.

When you plug Sonic 3 into Sonic & Knuckles, that’s what Sonic 3 was intended to be. But they couldn’t finish it in time, so they split them into separate games. That’s why when you play Sonic 3 & Knuckles, you don’t just play Sonic 3 as Knuckles, you play through both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles (as opposed to Sonic 2 where you only play through Sonic 2 levels as Knuckles).
I didn’t really “get” Prince at first either. His biggest radio hits didn’t quite click for me. But then I watched a full concert video and loved it. He was just radiating energy the entire show in a way that wasn’t quite captured by the studio recordings IMO. And I think it’s one thing to read that he was an incredible multi-instrumentalist versus actually watching him absolutely shred on several different instruments at different times throughout the show.
The one and only time I “cheated” at Elden Ring was to spawn in some DLC weapons (hand-to-hand arts and perfume bottles) for a brand new character. Not because they were overpowered but because I hadn’t used them on any of my previous characters and they looked fun so I wanted to use them for a full playthrough. And they were quite fun. Better than I expected too, but certainly not top tier weapons.
Of course I could have just asked a friend to drop them for me instead but it was easier to just “cheat” them in :)
One of the things that helped me improve a lot was watching streamers play. Baalorlord as previously mentioned is great. I’ve also watched a lot of videos from Jorbs and Frost Prime.
They all have some videos specifically targeted toward newer players where they explain their thought process but I’ve also gotten a lot of value out of just watching them do normal runs. I like to figure out what I would do in each situation and if they do something different I try to analyze why they made that decision instead. There are many cards that I didn’t think were very good until I saw an expert using them.










The evil stepmother is going to die when the pumpkin expands and then when the pumpkin shrinks back to normal there’s no more culpatory evidence to prove that it was from the food that Cinderella had served her.
