That rules

I was full on ugly crying at the end of To The Moon.

If you manage to find a copy of the game and want to play but don’t have a VCR, The entire thing is on YouTube

I’m partial to Breaker of Armies (and leggies)

My strategy for when I recognize this in myself:

• Stop whatever I’m doing. (I’m not going to make a good effort at it anyway)
• Take a vitamin D supplement. (I definitely don’t get enough sun and that can boost my mood)
• Go for a 5-10 minute walk and try to get some fresh air while trying to sort out if there is a reason I feel that way.(If there isn’t a reason, then fine, but if there is, you now have a problem that you can look at it more logically)

The pathological need to find something to use LLMs for is so bizzare.

Venture capital dumped so much money into the tech without understanding the full scope of what it was capable of. Now they’re so in so deep that they desperately NEED to find something profitable it can do, otherwise they’ll lose the farm.

Honestly at this point we should stop offering Poppy seeds in normal goods. drug testing people in most cases.

It just reenforces the notion that drug use is a moral failing.

• Link to the Past

• Super Mario RPG

“There are some people who are participating in this trend … and haven’t read One Piece from the start,” he said.

Wow, anime fans really haven’t changed in the last 40 years, huh

Yeah, this is pretty much it.

Microsoft took over the computing world because they built a really good enterprise management toolset. Say what you will about their shitty business practices both in history and today, both AD and GPO are fucking incredible pieces of software. Microsoft Office and Exchange email are also pretty much the only game in town unless you want to jump to Google which is objectively worse.

Those tools meant that workplaces adopted Windows instead of Mac and Linux and slowly transitioned their Unix servers to Windows. Then people started getting PCs at home, and they didn’t want to learn a whole new OS. Guess what, Windows is also available for home use and does all the same things that your office PC does.

Now that Microsoft has the vast majority of the install base on PCs, it’s not economically viable to develop or troubleshoot software for the other platforms, as you’re putting in a ton of extra time for about 5% of users.

Until Linux can promise ~90% compatibility with all software and they can put out some kind of real competition to AD and GPO, people are going to take the path of least resistance and just get Windows.

Touhou is just Japan’s Homestuck. There is source material, but the vast majority of the content that people assume is canon comes from fanwork

Yeah, there is too much baggage for it to be properly funny with the WNBA.

Now the regular NBA on the other hand, no misogynist baggage with fake dicks there. Much funnier place to throw one.

As most people suggest, I’d also recommend going with Windows 11 for this use case, but with the caveat that you should get a Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC license if you can find it.

It’s the best version of the OS. It only pushes security updates, no new features ( this means xbox and candy crush won’t magically show up in your start menu after major updates) and it comes with all the AI and Microsoft Store stuff stripped out.

Theoretically, this OS was designed for things like kiosk computers and control systems that need to maintain a stable environment, but it can do everything the pro version does with no hassle.

The downside is that it’s hard to find. Microsoft won’t sell it outside of volume license keys under enterprise agreements, but it is available through grey-market key sellers, and can be activated using the MAS if the high seas are an option.

If you have ice cream, I will give it to you.

If you have no ice cream, I will take it away from you.

This is an Ice Cream Koan.

The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

I really don’t trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn’t just kneecap the writing because it wouldn’t appeal to as many people as possible.

This is Dunning Kruger in effect. You actually know way more than you think because you’re more aware of what you don’t know than a total beginner.

Also, as far as wanting to switch back goes, That’s a path of least resistance. For a multitude of reasons, stock Windows is simply easier to use than Linux for most people. Especially if you’re already used to Windows’ workflows and its particular quirks. And somewhat ironically, Linux is harder to adapt to if you’re a power user. Power users tend to use their PC for more things than a basic user does, and therefore need to configure more things to work properly.

By the way, I’m not throwing shade towards Canada specifically.

Please throw shade towards us. Our lack of action here was largely because we wanted to stay on good terms with the US, who made their position abundantly clear.

Our government calculated that there would be harm done to our country if the US decided to twist some economic screws. But then Trump was elected and it happened anyway and we look like patsies.

I would seriously doubt it, not because it’s impossible, but because it’s massively impractical.

It turns out that wireless charging is shockingly inefficient. The antennas you would need are way bigger than you could carry practically, and the amount of power you receive is very tiny compared to the amount of voltage you’re pushing through.

A YouTuber I like actually built a setup like this in a recent video.

Isn’t this basically what TOR and I2P are for?

This asshole has learned to claw at my back through the chair when he wants attention and it startles me every time.
