If this means more HZD sets… that would be amazing

ignism , 27 days ago to Asklemmy in Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue?

Leave the earth for whom then? No one? Everything else but humanity? It’s such a destructive and pessimistic take. And no, we are not gonna get along then. I have a bit more faith in humanity and our intuitive ability to adapt.

You need a lot of words to correct yourself, you may sound smart, to me you sound like a hypocrite. let me go ahead and try to summarize, what you actually try to say is: we should bear less children, instead of your first statement no children at all. On that we can agree.

ignism , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago) to Asklemmy in Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue?

So first you say: Don’t bear children. And now you’re trying to counteract my point by saying: think of the children… I’m positive you didn’t even read beyond my first sentence. Cause I’m literally saying we need to get our shit together.

ignism , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago) to Asklemmy in Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue?

Oh no, I’m saying on a scale big enough micro plastics don’t matter. But you are missing my point, we DO need to take care of microplastics, because we want to repopulate… the poster I’m replying to is trying to convince us not to bear children. Edgy, but also quite stupid.

ignism , 28 days ago to Asklemmy in Will microplastics in our testicles be an issue?

“Bad for the environment” means “Bad for us humans”, nature will take care of itself, just not in a human scale lifespan. So not populating because of the environment doesn’t make sense. Why have a better environment for humans if there are no humans? I’m not saying we don’t need to look after the environment, on the contrary, we need to better ourselves and the environment because otherwise we go extinct anyway.

ignism , 28 days ago to Asklemmy in What movie would you most like to watch for the first time again?

Same, the “what is the Matrix” marketing was so mysterious and effective.

ignism , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in How did you meet the love of your life?

On a drunk Thursday night out noticed my bike wasn’t where I thought I left it. Decided to steal a bike myself on my way home. A week later, again on Thursday night, ran into this girl and had a great time. She didn’t have a bike so I offered to bring her home. While getting closer to her house, I started to recognise the area… this is where I stole the bike. Asked her what happened to hers (legit question, everybody has a bike in the Netherlands) . Told me hers got stolen the week before. I started to feel awkward when we stopped exactly at the place where I had stolen the bike. Apparently this was where she lived. Told her this was where I grabbed a bike a week before. She looked at the bike, and I shit you not, it was hers. I hooked up with the girl that I stole a bike from. Fast forward a year and a half later, decided I do not believe in “Meant to be” shit and broke up with her. Some time later I meet a different girl, the love of my live… this is 20 years ago now, we’re now expecting our first kid.

ignism , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in What's your fave movie of all time that you love to recommend to people?

Has to be The Matrix. Was 13 or 14 at the time of release, marketing around it was very mysterious. Obviously my childmind was blown during opening scene!

Listen to this song and tell me it’s not about her giving a blowjob.

Fun fact: in Dutch a knife is a “mes”

ignism , 3 months ago to Hardware in New open source GPU is free to all — FuryGPU runs Quake at 60fps, supports modern Windows software

I mean, yeah, an extremely simple video card is maybe. But that little birdy is no Quake at 720p running on a gpu build by a gamedev. I don’t see how it even compares. If I bake a pie which turns out great I can be pretty excited about it, even though it’s non trivial to an actual patisserie, to me as a web dev that pie was a pretty cool project.

ignism , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to Hardware in New open source GPU is free to all — FuryGPU runs Quake at 60fps, supports modern Windows software

At a mindblowing 60 fps.

Ok just read the article, that’s a pretty cool project by a single engineer.

Sounds like a villain origin story

ignism , 10 months ago to RetroGaming in The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit...

I had those moments multiple times. I remember thinking the same about International Karate on the Amiga. Then my mind was blown with Street Fighter II, Max Payne was one for sure as mentioned elsewhere and let’s not forget Carmageddon, which got a little bit too realistic. Graphics technology developed so fast, you can’t compare it to today’s upgrades. As I’m older now 10 year old games still feel “new” to me.
