Amazon delivers, just not same-day. I’ve lived north of 55’ my whole life, and usually it takes 3-5 days.
The government. That’s where taxes go. You can, in turn, look up your country’s budget breakdown to see where it goes from there.

Technology@lemmy.world•“It Wouldn’t Be Surprising If, in Two Years’ Time, There Was a Film Made Completely Through AI”: Says Hayao Miyazaki’s Own SonEnglish
43·8 months agoPassing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he’s his father’s son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he’s not a director and he didn’t want to make it.
(Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I’m referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the minimum number of words needed to communicateEnglish
7·9 months agoTo be fair though, speaking as a fan of toki pona, it’s important to point out that it is far from a list of essential words, it’s intentionally not designed to be able to communicate a majority of essential concepts clearly. It’s designed to be able to communicate simple, positive concepts easily, but to require thought and ambiguity to communicate negative or complex concepts. It’s literally meant to make you have to think more positively.
“Horde” is orcs. “Hoard” is dragons.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Marvel Rivals director reflects on hated Helldivers 2 nerfs - 'Players don't like things taken away'English
17·1 year agoI would LOVE to have Jeff’s ult taken away. It’s the most infuriating thing I’ve experienced in a shooter in years. When your game is PVP, sometimes you do have to nerf things man.
I like how your pronouns are “equipped”. Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn’t you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

Games@sh.itjust.works•[Overlord Gaming] Denuvo performance impact tested before and after DRM was removed.English
18·1 year agoThe one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it’s not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA’s decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just… sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should’ve hit, because Denuvo decided you’re gonna stutter just there.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Could a policy Justin Trudeau rejected give the Liberals the bump they need?English
49·1 year agoTL;DR they think he should look at electoral reform again
A huge wedge of the liberal voter base were disenfranchised when Trudeau promised electoral reform, practically guaranteed it, and then just announced they weren’t going to do it but don’t worry here’s legal weed. Many of them were youth voting for the first time, and that betrayal set the tone. If he set it in motion before the election, is it possible they’d recapture at least some of that base? Sure. Would I vote for him? Not a chance.

Games@sh.itjust.works•AMD CEO Lisa Su reminisces about designing the PS3's infamous Cell processor during her time at IBMEnglish
1·1 year agoSetting aside that the industry professionals definitely count it as current gen for sales metrics, that’s fuckin, irrelevant when the statement is about all three of last gen, current gen, and next gen. Whichever one you want to call the Switch part of, it’s the best selling console of that generation, so the statement that AMD sold chips the best selling console of that generation is false. Unless you want to make the claim the Switch is from 2006, they are incorrect.

4·1 year agoHow can the switch be a different console from last gen, current gen, and next gen? Those are literally the only generations it could be considered part of.

12·2 years agoit’s also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.
Doesn’t the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?
