Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing ‘look over there’.

Favored enemy: bass.

Marriage is between spouse 1 and spouse A.

Ah, the missing ‘h’. Maybe I haven’t had enough sleep, but at first I thought you were saying he’s supposed to be named something else entirely.

(For the curious, his untranslated name is クロノ, ‘Kurono’, which is about as close to Chrono/Crono as you can get in Japanese.)

Big “I feel you should be aware some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters” energy.

It’s lungs all the way down.

I will say that I don’t understand their repeated assertions that sexuality is a choice. I don’t see how anyone could believe that unless they’re actively repressing something.

But I don’t know where that disconnect lies. Is it just a bad faith argument, and they don’t really believe that? Do we have a fundamentally different understanding of what sexuality and sexual orientation consist of?

Edit: spelling

What’s moon sugar in this analogy?

There was a PS2 game called Anubis II, but no Anubis I. Though it was technically a sequel…to Ninjabread Man.

The Gorky series started with Gorky 17, followed by Gorky 0, and then finally Gorky 02.

The Clock Tower series kind of did this in reverse. The original was Japan-only, so when Clock Tower 2 was localized they dropped the number. And the same with King’s Field.

Doesn’t this imply that everyone who uses the library will become evil?

Are you sure that was Nintendo’s doing? Just off the top of my head, both Castlevania and Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins had religious imagery and references to death on the NES.

I was actually up late playing Deus Ex the night of September 10, 2001, which I think added an extra layer of surreality to the next day.

Regarding your call to get DOS and Win32 games running on Linux: they do, and have done for years.

You’re describing Cunningham’s Law. Which the relevant xkcd doesn’t call anything in particular.

Nerd sniping is unrelated.

Do you have any tips on how to set up a python environment using nix?

I also use NixOS (btw) but have so far sidestepped this by the expedient of giving up on any project not in nixpkgs whose install process is a pypi script.

That was a valid reason 15 years ago, but wine/proton have gotten really really good.

there’s an infinite amount to real values between 0 and 1 but there’s an even greater infinite amount of real values between 0 and 2.

This isn’t true. Both of those sets have the same cardinality as the real numbers. Measuring infinities can be weird that way.

They are both strictly larger than the rationals, though.

51/4 cardboard floppy

Wait, I’m also old enough to remember 5.25" floppies, but I always thought the casings were some sort of flexible plastic. Were some of them just card stock, or were they all some sort of treated paper product?
