This could basically be “before Lain” and “after Lain” for me

Fair warning, it’s a weird one. I had to read a few short essays after I finished it to really get it. Highly recommend, it’s only 12 episodes so not much of a time investment

It’s ancient, but I couldn’t think of a worse distro

Arrays start at 0, which leaves plenty of room for SCO Linux powered by UnitedLinux

Wait, I think there was an underflow error…

USB-C somehow managed to be the worst “standard.” Hopefully the next big USB port doesn’t allow for so much variance. I don’t see why a specific wattage and data transfer rate isn’t included in the specification. I can scarcely believe they managed to standardize it so well that I can plug the wrong cord into a port and break something.

An extra-extra spoiler: there’s a lot to dig your teeth into, philosophically, that makes the whole rigmarole worth it.

That’s a strong point for me, and the main reason I liked it as much as I did. Same reason I loved The Talos Principle, despite having to look up guides for the majority of the puzzles.

If I remember right, the first couple minutes is like a top-down shoot-em-up, but it transitions into that Devil May Cry style pretty quickly

You should go into Nier: Automata thinking it’s a game about a hot chick fighting a bunch of robots. The only spoiler you should know is that the end isn’t the end, and you need to play it again.

You should go into Spec Ops: the Line thinking it’s a game about a cool special forces team fighting a bunch of terrorists or something. The only spoiler you should know is that it’s supposed to feel like a generic third person shooter.

TBF, Warframe was far from a free-to-play tier experience, at least back when I played it. The Second Dream is still my favorite story quest in any game I’ve ever played

Nothing will ever match the effect The Second Dream had on me. This Is What You Are still sends shivers down my spine

I’ve tried to get back into it a few times, but there’s just so much new stuff that it’s hard to pick it back up

so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

Hi I’m some mf

Day 1,095 of begging Autodesk to put F360 on Linux so I can ditch windows

I know, they won’t, but I’m gonna keep asking anyway

I look at the cool elephant whenever I’m feeling down

Here’s the article. Imagine losing access to everything that your physical driver’s license can’t help you get back. I would be in jail for one reason or another if google fucked my life over that bad

As for Mark, Ms. Lilley, at Google, said that reviewers had not detected a rash or redness in the photos he took and that the subsequent review of his account turned up a video from six months earlier that Google also considered problematic, of a young child lying in bed with an unclothed woman.

Mark did not remember this video and no longer had access to it, but he said it sounded like a private moment he would have been inspired to capture, not realizing it would ever be viewed or judged by anyone else.

They could have just made this up wholesale. What is Mark gonna do about it? He literally doesn’t have access to the video they claim incriminates him, and the police department has already cleared him of any wrongdoing. Google is just being malicious at this point.

I guess I should have said we don’t make friends with them. I could have also drawn attention to the awful living conditions, but getting all Dominion-y wouldn’t have the pizzazzy oomph that I was going for

It definitely only got popular because of the hype re: “Pokemon with guns,” but it’s legitimately better than the game it actually copied, which is Ark. You know what’s cool about Palworld? Me and my coplayer were able to stop playing without losing everything we’ve built

Anyone who thinks Palworld is actually a Pokemon ripoff either hasn’t played Palworld or hasn’t played Pokemon

I don’t need to come up with any revolutionary ideas, the open source folks are already creating without patenting their creations

Here’s a revolutionary idea: universal basic income. No need to prevent other people from monetizing your idea if you don’t need to monetize your idea in the first place

legally not Pokemon

You mean Digimon? Or Monster Rancher? Or Cassette Beasts? Or Temtem? Or Shin Megami Tensei? Or Kingdom Hearts DDD? Or Ark? Or Yo-kai Watch? Or Telefang?
