Gaming@beehaw.org•The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.
1·2 years agoI don’t think someone heavily opposed to gaming would be considered a normie, they would be in their own separate extremist camp also apart from the average person.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for podcasts to fall asleep to?English
3·2 years agoI like Levar Burton Reads. His voice is so soothing. You can pick a story with a topic you are less interested in for nighttime listening since there are plenty to choose from.

Politics@beehaw.org•Republicans Wanted a Hunter Biden Special Counsel. They’re Pissed They Actually Got One
34·2 years agoThey went on endlessly about Benghazi. No amount of investigations will shut them up until they get bored and latch on to a new topic to beat to death. Same thing with the long form birth certificate from Obama. Finally producing it only brought claims of forgery and more conspiracy theories. The thoroughness of the investigation is irrelevant when the doubters aren’t seeking the truth to begin with.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Enterprise era new trek show?English
10·2 years agoThey had a lot of weird stuff in Enterprise. I would love if they did a show in that era that was actually about that era instead of time travel shenanigans. It would be fun to learn about how the alliances and rivalries built up, the successes and blunders and cultural clashes. From what I recall, season 4 was when they finally started looking at that stuff and by then it was too late.

World News@lemmy.ml•Elon Musk says X will fund legal bills if users treated unfairly by bossesEnglish
12·2 years agoYes, let’s see all those fired Twitter employees get their legal bills covered for daring to criticize him in their tweets.

Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•Would a venus fly trap help deal with house gnats?
6·3 years agoThis is the best plan. They are prolific breeders so traps are useless if you don’t also eliminate the favorable breeding environment.

1·3 years agoMy local library is 25 miles away and only open 4 days a week, plus it’s about 40 miles away from the city where I do all my shopping so it is really out of the way. There is a different library in the city where I run my errands, but they charge a hefty fee for non-residents.
I do love that you have a go-to artist you support here who has been doing great work on our site icons, but this one is a bit disappointing for me.
This logo looks a lot more aggressive, like it’s staring me down in anger and about to draw its pistols for a duel. There is no distinct head section, so the eyes look like predator-deterring fake eyes on its back. The eyes also look pointy and menacing in the tiny size it appears at the top of the page in my mobile browser. My brain interprets a sharp point reaching up from the apex of each eye to the hat due to the small gap between hat and eye. I see they are actually rounded off in the large version, but they don’t look round in tiny form which I am chalking up to an optical illusion at the working size. I also don’t like the lack of segmentation in the body.
The top of a cowboy hat is often a little bit narrower than where the crown meets the brim, the taper and dip make it easier to grasp the stiff top of it to take it off and put it on with one hand instead of having to grab it awkwardly by the wide brim. The really wide split at the top means that bee needs some giant hands to grab its hat. I also don’t understand the purpose of the extra bulk on the rim.
The thin connection point of the wings and lack of any filler color makes it look like an atom symbol floating behind the bee instead of a part of its body.
The old logo did look more like a wasp and the face was a weirdly fleshy color, but mainly it just needed a rounder bottom to soften it up. The wings were clearly wings, the head was clearly a head, and the hat didn’t sort of look like a crown.
I hope there will be more iteration on this logo and look forward to seeing what comes up next. Someone shared a version with a very mustache looking stripe on it and I loved that little detail.

Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•Where did the name “Beehaw” come from?English
6·3 years agoI’m from Texas and “yeehaw” is a southern slang celebratory exclamation, so it’s something people from outside the area kind of expect they might hear out here. It’s maybe a bit rural and unsophisticated so you don’t really hear it in casual conversation except rarely to be silly, but you see it enough in old movies depicting cowboys that most Americans are likely familiar with the word even though it’s not regularly used.
When I heard about this server called beehaw, I thought it was just nonsense syllables. Then I saw the bee in the logo without really noticing the details and thought someone added a nonsense suffix to the word “bee”. It wasn’t until someone suggested members should be called the yeehive (which looks like hive with a nonsense prefix) and another commenter said they finally understand the server name that I took a closer look and noticed the cowboy hat and realized the name was from combining bee with yeehaw. Bees aren’t really associated with cowboys, so it’s not very obvious if you aren’t looking for it. It’s a pretty absurd amalgamation but the drawing of the bee in cowboy gear is adorable.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
2·3 years agoBlizzard also has Overwatch, StarCraft, Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone.
I don’t really know the Activision side. I was a big Blizzard fan before learning about the Cosby room and their treatment of women in the workplace.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
6·3 years agoMicrosoft lost an antitrust lawsuit a long time ago regarding making internet explorer a required part of Windows, so they had to allow other browsers in Windows for competition’s sake, but they didn’t get broken up. That might be what you are thinking of. I can’t think of anything Intel related though.
I love cool colors, too, but I don’t like greens as much, they have to be blueish green or bright lime green, not the more brownish muted greens. I like fuchsia. I used to avoid that one because it’s so over-the-top vibrant, but I have been embracing it lately. I like it paired with teal.
I had just been to Sonic that week and their best drinks are their limeades. I hate coming up with names for anything, so I went with something simple.
One of my earliest memories is spontaneously picking up the phone to call a friend, hearing a bunch of modem screeching, then hearing my boomer dad cursing up a storm in the other room because I had probably just killed his Doom session. Some of the boomers were Dooming just fine! The younger boomers were only in their early 30s when it came out, it’s not like they were too old to adopt new tech at the time.

It will certainly be interesting to see how they handle Trump. I read that Georgia doesn’t have governor pardons equivalent to the presidential pardon at the federal level, it has a pardon review board and you have to complete your sentence and then be crime-free for the following five years to even apply.
On its surface, this case seems like it is the hardest for Trump to get out of.
