I got a good laugh on this take on the FF XI experience. And then I laughed again when I saw this was an AI image of a 20 year old game.

Yes, your escrow can go up that much if your property tax, school tax, or in some cases insurance had a sudden jump in value or changes in what can be claimed. It varies by area and loan, but isn’t unheard of.

I’m trying to remember when I last had a real “free trial” and not these “give me your credit card subscription scams”. A bonafide “try our thing for real” situation made me buy it.

Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?

While I don’t follow the current eSports Call of Modern War Battle shooter game, I believe they may be making fun of certain team players of said game who called themselves “Lethal Company”… but now this name is more commonly associated with a different online multiplayer indie game that is more popular.

Although I could be wrong. I am not an AI

Gyro support on XInput has been on PC gamers wishlist for awhile.

XInput is a solid standard (especially if you look at the state of gaming in the pre 2000’s) but it is in need of an update…

I appreciate the hi-resolution photo. I did a double-take when the image loaded like a dial-up JPG from GeoCities.

I mean, that is a solid 5/7 desert they put together!

Or the whole Internet! Cough FA

Yep! Welcome to the unfiltered real internet… (and I’m saying that as a positive thing).

While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.

Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I’m scratching my head too…

Anybody know the name of this character? “Six Shooter Cat” or something?

Oh, thanks for the reminder that this just came out! Been looking forward to the sequel

Just stand up! This is really Goro from Mortal Kombat goofing around.

Yes, it’s an old one… but I always get a smile seeing this meme.

Good example of a click bait title.

With the texture of those noodles, I can only imagine this is like a bland version of a soggy Frito pie.

Not today and hopefully never for general forum purposes. Worse case, you get somebody that necros an old post akin to responding to an old email chain, or replying to an old forum thread. Usually not a big deal but sometimes it also sparks new discussions if that post/thread had some meaningful content.

Edit: Actually I think @FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world had the best idea. Would be a great option depending on the forum / poster’s need. There are some good reasons when you want to “mark a thread as closed”… like bug reports, project tasks, etc. But I feel the default behavior should be to keep post / threads open.

Hmm. I just checked and have no problems logging into amazon.co.jp from the US. I’m still presented with their international shipping options and currency conversion too… so I think you may have something going on with your browser.

Try the usual things like cleaning the cache or even a different browser.
