I genuinely cried during my first listen to that album when I got to T.I.M.E.

Last night, while brushing our teeth, my wife made a comment about losing all her hair. That required a delay in going to bed until we had listened to I Earn My Life. Unfortunately, that leads into the obligatory Reaganomics dance party. Before we knew it it was 11PM and we were considering the philosophy of logo design.

My understanding is that rightsholders didn’t take it seriously, so content was cheap to license in the early days of Netflix streaming. That’s no longer the case.

I’ve done it before on something else. It does need to be bit-perfect, but ROM’s are one of the easier things to find bit-perfect matches for.

No, Lingo. Two games, both in the past few years. It’s confusing word puzzles in an equally-confusing world.

1. Mirror’s Edge
2. Lingo (2?)
3. And Yet It Moves

ME has stuck with me as my favorite game for fifteen years now. I love it visually, the soundtrack is incredible, and the gameplay is fantastic.

Lingo and its sequel are a bizzare, unmatched puzzle experience. I don’t know what else to say there.

And Yet It Moves is… something else. An indy platformer from the heyday of Indy platformers. It is an interesting example of how story can influence art style.

Valve also clarified today that it was the processors, not the card management companies, that they talked to. The processors were pointing at MasterCard’s rules, but refusing to provide Valve with someone at MasterCard to talk to.

They aren’t disagreeing with that. They are reporting that a source within the government claims the footage in the gap exists.

There’s a skill tree, equipment (not clothing/weapons like most RPGs, but still equipment), and crafting. That’s enough to make it an RPG mechanically.

There’s also the perspective definition. You are embodying a person separate from yourself and you are expected to make choices as them. Textbook RPG.

Dishonored is an RPG. It also adjusts the world based on your body count, with corruption getting worse as you kill people.

It did to me too until I zoomed in.

My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.

Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

2 is very weird. It’s an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

If it was an electrical issue, they wouldn’t have been able to just turn them back on, which one of the pilots did.

The two switches were moved to off sequentially with the right amount of gap for a human doing it quickly. One of the pilots then questioned why they were off, and they were then both turned back on individually a short time later.

The possibility the FAA was investigating was whether the latches on the switches may not work, allowing them to be moved unintentionally. This was unlikely due to the timing, but they still had to eliminate it.

Yes. Nothing is truly incompressible. The speed of sound can be viewed as a measure of how much a material can squish on the atomic level before the next atoms move.

Isn’t he out of contention since he has already reproduced?

Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?

The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.

IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.

The problems start if it can take on a lot of the junior work. If nobody can enter the industry, nobody can get the experience required to do the real engineering.

Open-source and personal work may be the only way to enter the programming field in the next decade.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

This attack hit airbases all over Russia. Smuggling operators into Siberia to fly the drones seems unreasonable.

He quit his second job by not showing up.

A guy living in an oligarchs mansion in Vegas was appointed director of 2 federal law enforcement agencies.
