Oh yeah, when you put it that way… I do have some survival skills from growing up in the country, but the culture is what’d probably do me in. I’d misunderstand someone and get waxed pretty fast most likely.

jfc we’ll eat anything.

i wouldn’t consider that to be too terrible. It’s beautiful and you can entertain yourself nearly endlessly outside of the narrative.

Unfortunately for me I last played 76 to see what had changed. And I’d definitely go mad since i’ve basically done and seen it all outside of some builds i want to try.

Fired Marathon and Destiny 2 devs supposedly said similar. Hmm…

Saber who? adds to ignore list on Steam

How bizarre. Smells a lot like the Sympathy Loophole combined with Munchausen by Internet. This community is like a small town so I’m not sure why they think this will fly. But here we are… feeding the narrative.

Maybe do a sleep study. Lots of undiagnosed sleep apnea around this age. It gets worse over time. Even if you don’t snore.

edit: feeling déjà vu. Did i recommend this to you before? Either way, most of this is definitely not normal or age related.

Oh damn, I forgot about acme. Plan 9 is a trip.

• fave: vim

vim is basically my foreverhome at this point. I feel clumsy trying to use most other things. But I also like emacs shortcuts and learned a bunch of them unwittingly via bash having that mode set out of the box.

IIRC The Civil Rights Lawyer from Audit the Audit is helping him out. Shit is fucked if it has his attention. Hope it turns out ok.

You don’t have to snore to have it.

This always baffled me. It really was so lazy and boring with the sets. It is weird when you think about how they had all those creative engineers making frickin’ killbots at their disposal. Let them eat… But no, just flat areas and stupid hammers and floor saws too slow and weak to do anything… so everyone makes indestructible wedges to push other bots up on the edge, or a spin-hammer that is undefeatable.

I can’t tell if this guy just constantly has bad takes and a shitty world view or if he knows saying controversial shit is what gets headlines. Maybe it’s both.

Not exactly the laziest but I was in IT collaborating with a dev on a project for our MSP’s control panel. They were ignoring my meeting invites, emails and IMs for a few days and I was getting annoyed. They were upstairs in a separate building across from ours. Kind of a hike.

Rather than hunt them down like a normal person, i browsed to their drive and stuck a batch script in their startup folder that drew a cheeky Matrix-style animated graphic (first one was out then) that after 30 seconds or so faded out to a message asking them to contact me. I set it so it would pop up and maximize if they rebooted. I tested it a bit but wasn’t sure if it would work or even if they ever rebooted since we had dedicated workstations.

But apparently they shut down their machine every night. So the next day they stood up and freaked out yelling that they had been hacked before they saw the ensuing message.

They were pretty pissed off once someone calmed them down and they figured out what i’d done, but we got the project completed after that.

Yes. There is a raging shitstorm of smooth brains on X going absolutely nuts over it.

I played the absolute crap out of my Genesis more than anything else, i was obsessed with SF:2 CE and the six button controller was a game changer. But for every other genre the SNES has more of my favorite games compared to any system I have. There’s just a charm and feeling of care put into some its games that is just leaps and bounds above everything. Hard to describe.

For pure slickness of the hardware and user experience—the Gamecube, NeoGeo Pocket Color and Dreamcast mesmerized me upon purchase from that alone. Of course they all have some bangers. Also the joystick on the NGPC is amazing.

Seemed to become a rarer skill in the late 80s early 90s. It’s now at the point where I’m surprised if a co-op or younger coworker knows how to touch type. So strange with how “everything is computer” for so many jobs. How it is not a prerequisite for computer science courses blows my mind. I don’t think I could manage it.

i use it docked more than anything else with a 1080p monitor my old work was chucking. Works perfectly.

it will also of course remove overspray if you’re out of lacquer thinner and as a side bonus the fumes will later reveal that the paint shop didn’t prep for top coat what they “fixed” next to what you’re working on.

For one build I made that mistake. I went with SFF partly due to motherboard and RAM shortages and i could barely upgrade it… I won’t do that again. But before that i would start at low to mid spec for components, a mobo and PSU with room to grow, and slowly max them out over time.

However, like i said in another reply it seems like i can repurpose less and less in later builds as tech evolves more rapidly these days and or I run into a wall with bottlenecking something or another even if i can upgrade a component. As a result I’m definitely taking a longer pause this time.
