That would be interesting. Because he’d play it completely straight. You’d be expecting the joke, but, nope, it’s just that Weird Al is Aragorn.

Look up real ramen recipes and think about what each ingredient adds. Use other frozen veggies - a bag of stir fry mix can’t be that different from a bag of broccoli price wise. Eggs definitely. Sausage (or bacon, or Taylor ham, or Spam) can be a good flavor bomb. Frozen seafood mix adds protein, flavor, and changes the dish.
Also consider seasonings - any of the following help. Paprika, turmeric, garlic, onion, dill, bay leaf. Look at international noodle soups, adapt the flavors.
Oh, and you can also replace the packet seasoning with a low salt bouillion cube. Still a good flavor, but so much healthier. Mushrooms help too!
They’d do it to children if it impacted their paycheck.
But what about his great-aunt Arcee?


I wonder what he’ll build next, now that he has time for his own projects again. Obviously that’s how to prove that Automattic wasn’t just a fluke.


I wonder if this will change thanks to the current and likely long-term antagonism between the USA & Canada.
Technically he’s a Maximal. His great-aunt, however, is an Autobot.


Honestly, it’s just become my default for anything that hits the surface level “huh, that’s cool…but how or why?” check nowadays. LLMs generate material that matches surface level interest without the ‘why’, because there’s no actual thoughts or emotions to give a reason. So whenever I see a “cool” remake of a game in a different way, I start out assuming it’s an LLM project driven by some slop-happy inhuman fleshbeast that doesn’t understand what human elements made the old thing cool in the first place.
So basically it’s just a gut feeling that something is ‘off’.


Feels too much like it was made with AI.
Well, not to the second floor. Room 237 isn’t my vibe.
I did that. My teeth are ruined, my breath is nearly always bad. I’ve had more root canals than is responsible, and it’s been massively expensive.
Drink water and brush your teeth.
Can I get a typewriter? And, uh, you know, I’ll take the stairs.


He’s probably switched over to the version that he’s making money from, frankly.


When Tarn makes big statements, people ought to listen.


Thank you for clarifying. It needs better software, but I used Haiku as a primary OS for a month a few years back. I was able to dig out old games and play them, so no major complaints here.


I don’t think copywrong should exist at all. Either it’s kept private or it’s in the public domain. That’s all there is to it.


The choice isn’t uncomfortable. It’s a need for a hard fork from Linus that’s always been present, and now is just more obvious because 2026 really is the year of mainstream FOSS OS use.


Are you asking for a poem, or suggesting the BeOS based OS?
If they remake Spy Hard like they did with Naked Gun, let him do the theme song and the lead role.
