I need a hat that's about this big

@Mitsu@outerheaven.club no i already ate everything sorry

@lain@lain.com yegh, dirty feet :akko_eeew:

Yay, no work today

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com old fart club

new car get

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com this needs some more gradients

@newt@stereophonic.space those things snort while trying to breathe normally. They literally cannot breathe normally. Also they can barely bark normally, all they do is make gremlin noises (which makes sense because these creatures have to be tortured souls or something trying to get out)

@grillchen@brot.eus why can't games just be games anymore

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone i agree that age restriction isn't gonna do much. Neither would a total ban on scooters. People will drive them anyway. Also keep in mind that software-imposed restrictions have a particular problem too; firmware can be overridden. Almost every e-bike, e-moped and e-scooter here is very easily modded to overcome speed limitations. I think manufacturers really need to step up here and do more to prevent such modding. Also, i don't mind driving my car at 30 in cities. It's fine. Here cities go even further and just try to ban cars alltogether from entering the inner city parts. "Walkable city design" they call it. It's nice, though i wish i had a cart for my bicycle for transporting goods. It's difficult to carry a lot of stuff on foot.

@lain@lain.com booba

@lain@lain.com @Mitsu@outerheaven.club at my house, you will be fed whether you like it or not I will not throw away food

@hj@shigusegubu.club @eal@shinonome.technology GAASSS GAAASS GAAAASS I'M GONNA STEP ON THE GAS TONIGHT I'LL FLY AND BE YOUR LOVER

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com post it you fucking coward

@lain@lain.com god bless captain janeway

@lain@lain.com almost weekend famalam

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip sneak lvl 100

@nova@lunar.place :catmeltfromtheheat:

@quad@akko.quad.moe @kura@hai.z0ne.social @hj@shigusegubu.club honestly i agree, i just splashed 70 bucks on a used dsi, put cfw on it and called it a day. Money well spent.

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be you right now

@quad@akko.quad.moe @kura@hai.z0ne.social @hj@shigusegubu.club tbh the issue with most early gen pokemon games is that they restricted where you could go until halfway through the game. The balancing also entirely gimps you for that first half because of the limited set of pokemon available and the fact some don't even learn useful moves until somewhere past lvl 30. Also grinding in some parts is pure suffering because wild pokemon give fuck all exp and unless you're one-hitting them, they usually spam annoying ass shit like sand-attack, supersonic and at a later point those fucking status powder attacks (I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD THOSE BELLSPROUTS, WHY ARE FIRE POKEMON SO RARE UNTIL THE ASSFUCK POINT OF THE GAME)

@hj@shigusegubu.club honestly i like muos a lot more than the cfw options on the other anbernic devices Also the RG ARC is a firmware disaster i swear to god, what was anbernic thinking with that one

Me This is my description, not Snorlax

@gettie@fedi.catto.garden hey hey

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone it's actually a multitude of issues that make scooters impractical on most roads and streets in the world.

1. Scooters, unfortunately, are not a safe vehicle. It was never designed as a transportation vehicle with safeties in mind; it's more comparable to a skateboard than anything else. Thus, the people using them should be aware of the dangers they pose and wear appropriate protective gear (helmet, knee/elbow pads, gloves). However this is never recommended or enforced, which is strange.

2. Scooters also have a critical flaw; the front wheel axle is low to the ground, directly in front of the rider. This makes it very easy for the whole scooter to flip over the front wheel, dangerously ejecting the rider straight into the pavement. This is usually not an issue at low speeds, but it's an incredibly serious hazard on motorized scooters that go faster. This type of incident has already been reported on a number of times, with victims having suffered serious head injuries.

3. In most places in the world, traffic of different speed categories are not separated well. With cars these days having a lot of horsepower, car traffic tends to be fast. Having slow traffic like cyclists and scooter riders mixed in makes for a dangerous situation. This is an infrastructure problem, and can only be fixed by changing the roads to separate different types of traffic.

4. Related to point 3, most countries don't categorize scooters well (if they even do proper vehicle categorization at all). This means they usually don't have proper laws regulating how fast they should be able to go, or if the user needs to have an appropriate license. This makes it difficult to design infrastructure for. Should it go on the road? No, it's way too light and unprotected. On the bicycle path? No, it's too fast for that. It's an unsolvable issue, unless you start regulating properly what a scooter should and shouldn't be able to do.

5. Scooters tend to be a new sight on the road. Most road users aren't aware of this type of road user and do not properly account for them. This isn't an issue of driver mentality, it's an issue with training. Most of these people got their drivers licenses before the time scooters were a thing on the road, and as such, never received any particular training on them, not in traffic theory or in practice. This isn't also exclusive to scooters. This happens with most of these new type of micro-mobility vehicles. People just don't know about them.

6. Almost everyone I've seen driving in any type of EV, be it a car, electric bike, or e-scooter, doesn't appear to understand that electric motors tend to make thing accelerate a lot faster than old combustion engines could. I would like to say it's once again a training issue, but this one does appear to be a mentality problem (especially with people in electric cars, because good lord calm down man, just because you -can- pull up that fast, doesn't mean you -should-)

7. This last point actually has little to do with scooters, but I'd like to throw it out there since I think it matters anyway. People these days are rushed out of their minds in traffic. This goes for any road user, not just cars. Calm down. Take your time. Traffic is not a race. I get that traffic jams suck, but don't throw your life or those of others away just to get home a few minutes earlier. I get that life is rushed and difficult these days, but take those minutes out of something else.

All in all, while I don't really like scooters due to their safety issues, but I think it's very much possible to adapt both scooters and the infrastructure to make them feasible. Their compactness makes them ideal for combining with public transport, much more so than any folding bike. However I do not think you can guarantee safety if these things go any faster than 20km/h.

@newt@stereophonic.space oh god my neighbor two houses over has two of these omfg why would someone breed gremlins like that, and who in their right mind would ever BUY gremlins like that

@lain@lain.com mcdonalds needs to up their game if they don't wanna get dwarfed by that BIG CHICKEN

@kura@hai.z0ne.social @hj@shigusegubu.club tbh i wonder if that DS clone they made is any good. I kinda want a clamshell but wider like the DS, i can't use the shoulder buttons on the rg sp well. I just hope anbernic stops randomly dicking around with the firmware shit, every other model they bring out has some bullshit going on that prevents modders from making proper cfw images.

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be can I come inspect them? Free seal of approval if they pass :akko_smart:

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be you keep saying that. Drunk people have a tendency to repeat themselves, you know

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be you seem confident, a trait commonly seen in drunk people. Are you still sure?

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be you are very sure of yourself, despite the odds. I therefore declare you must be still slightly drunk

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be you sure?

Honestly i just wish someone would make a clamshell phone. Or basically just a nintendo dsi, but with phone functionality. And then actually have video-calling be a thing.

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip @mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be "and here, we see volpeon, as he is forced to start another workday against his best wishes."

@quad@akko.quad.moe @kura@hai.z0ne.social @hj@shigusegubu.club i've heard much of the same. The stock firmware was hilariously bad from what i've heard, and only recent updates made it barely passable. The one cfw that was released for it made it actually suitable for DS play due to optimizations they baked into the DS emulator. But the biggest letdown was that the RGDS had underpowered hardware, and apparently a shit battery to boot. It's only saving grace is that it's only like 100 bucks, but that's too much for something that can barely emulate the thing it was made for, requiring a cfw to save its ass.

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone I wish there were more tricycle models available here that have the basket on the back. Most cargo bikes here have the basket in front, but those models steer weirdly and are a bit unstable.

@volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip man I really want some rice cereal now

Big hungry

@FloatingGhost@ihatebeinga.live yea I wanna be the gnome contemplating frogs right about now

@mametsuko wilde kat

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be sausage cat

>look at used cars >the only good and affordable ones are japanese god bless suzuki and toyota

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be because rich people got extremely greedy

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be am not drunk. But I might be weird, since I'm a crocodile and all.
