How do you know op is gay?

Edit for those who have never seen the full series of commercials: Long Long Man ends up marrying the dude who is always with the gal who is always lusting over Long Long Man

He doesn't have a dog house.

OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 1y (7 replies)

Oh. Well yeah obviously then. That's logic.

JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (6 replies)

I dunno if this is the reference I think it is, but if it is, isn't it supposed to be a lawn mower not a dog house?

OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (4 replies)

If you're thinking of the joke about the professor of deductive reasoning, I've always heard it as a doghouse, but I'm sure there are variations. Only 8 billion people on Earth, after all ;-)

JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Fair enough lol

My version goes something along the lines of no lawn mower > no lawn mowing > no wife to tell him to mow lawn > gay

OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Ah, see, that actually makes a lot more sense. This one is no dog house > no dog > not a family man > gay. Very atomic family era.

DJDarren@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y

The Norm McDonald version is a dog house.

Dude spoilers

OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Sorry for ruining the plot

Long man will go down in history as a legend perhaps even a god

Mixel@feddit.org · 43 pts · 1y (1 reply)

With that you can maybe read a whole part of a java stacktrace!

jon@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 27 pts · 1y

You'll still need dual monitors if you want to read the whole class names.

papalonian@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Play some Guitar Hero

ouRKaoS@lemmy.today · 11 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I thought I was good at rhythm games until I tried Rift of the Necrodancer... I understand everything that I'm supposed to do but actually accomplishing it is beyond my skills.

tyler@programming.dev · 5 pts · 1y

Same

HollowNaught@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

If you have a good arcade near you, I recommend trying maimai. Excellent little rhythm game that's fairly simple to grasp

BleatingZombie@lemmy.world · 29 pts · 1y

Try Teeeeeeeeeetris

BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 28 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I'm sure Dwarf Fortress has a mode/plugin for that resolution.

orrk@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y

just get the base version of bay12games, it will scale just fine!

killeronthecorner@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Pinball!

SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y

Yeha this is perfect. And he can get one of those flipper boxes too

"I'm looking for a game that has the aspect ratio of a person"

Sheet music.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee · 23 pts · 1y

I could definitely put the Smoke On The Water tabs up there.
For when the ladies come over.

FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io · 14 pts · 1y

You just need more monitors to make a normal aspect ratio!

finitebanjo@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 1y

Terraria

The tower sitting on the edge corner there is triggering my anxiety

ChicoSuave@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

But the wall is on both sides so it can't fall. It might slip but nothing catastrophic would happen.

Anissem@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 1y

You don’t understand anxiety

wabafee@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (1 reply)

You can finally display all the codes

DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 1y

Debug like an absolute fiend.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

Emulating DS titles with your screen like that is pretty neat

Blaster_M@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

Now you see, this is the kind of display you need to play the Laterally Unplayable Factorio Challenge

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 9 pts · 1y

Ikaruga would be perfect for you!

(I remember putting my square CRT TV on its side for this game's vertical mode lol)

tanisnikana@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

Seriously though, there’s a lot of bullet hell that are suddenly available to you, on a screen like that.

earphone843@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I legit want this for reviewing logs.

naeap@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 1y

I made a kind of T-Fighter setup
In the middle a high and wide horizontal screen and on each side a virtual screen for logs or header files

Imho that's just perfect

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 1y

Tetris?

Sickduck@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Astroids. Gotta see those stones from miles away.

anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 1y

Asteroids just loop around on all sides. It’s the UFOs you gotta watch out for.

Shape4985@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 1y

Full screen jump king?

superkret@feddit.org · 6 pts · 1y

Try mobile games

Icy Tower

DoubleSpace@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 1y

I was thinking SimTower.

CaptDust@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y

Raiden 5, or similar vertical shooter. Maybe pinball would be cool too.

tiles@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y

Downwell lol

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

When you fullscreen a game, particularly a first person shooter, what do you see at the upper and lowermost bounds? Can you see behind yourself with a fisheye setting?

TachyonTele@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 1y

First person, and top down view

Try turning the monitor so it faces the wall and then play from memory. Games are generally better in your memory (also faster).

huquad@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 1y

Which slot machine is this?

countrypunk@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 1y

You can read your scroll tho

samus12345@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

Ultra tate mode.

Chaotic evil

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 9 pts · 1y

Ehhhh I say chaotic neutral. Evil would be diagonal.

saltnotsugar@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

This might be an opportunity to develop a game. Like the adventures of Pong Lenis or something.

Coreidan@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Think of all the porn tho

Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y

Let’s remake Raptor: Call of the Shadows for you.

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y

I found that as far as 3440 @ 35" is still a comfortable width. How do you use your ultraultrawide?

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Darius? Ninja Warrior? X-Men?

Madison420@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Iirc there's a tetris version that just fits to screen and resolution, you could have like 10,000 rows high.

MintyAnt@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

BUY MORE MONITORS

A_A@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Unite with the princess at the end would be great resolution of a game 😋 !

istdaslol@feddit.org · 3 pts · 1y

This is the setup for deaddrop pro Player

Rooty@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Clash of clans aah type setup.

TachyonTele@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y

Immersive!

surph_ninja@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Flight sims and racing sims won’t give a shit. They’ll use it fine. Sea of Thieves and Witcher will adapt fine, too. They look fucking awesome on an ultra wide, and I doubt they’d care if it’s portrait.
