I sort of hoped the beaming part of the gif was looped to never end. Great prank!

Well, banned for having mild opinions on US politics and then getting defensive when someone called them a genocide enabler. Sounds like hexbear did them a favor. If only the right-wing loonies were so quick to ban people who disagreed with them instead of setting up a big slide to draw them further in.
I’ll controversially say that I really love the Steam controller. Not the steam deck (which is honestly my number 1 if we’re including handhelds) but the original controller intended for use with the steam link device.
It really just needs a right analog stick and it would be great. The lack of one takes it from 10/10 to like a 7/10. It’s so good otherwise, great weight and size, good design. Sensible layout and the big track pads work really well! It was clearly a prototype for how the Deck layout ended up, though I actually like the controller’s big circular pads more than the decks little square ones.
You don’t, and cutting down on meat eating by any amount helps. “Meatless Mondays” and other similar memes are good ways to introduce vegetarian possibilities to people raised on meat-mandatory diets.
My ex was very strict vegetarian except for meat they purchased themselves from an ethical butcher they had vetted.
It’s sad but i stopped writing answers or comments on SO years ago. I used to have all these optimistic ideas about people working together to collectively grow our shared knowledge. I guess Wikipedia and the Internet Archive keep barely hanging in there, but if anything those cases prove my point: without one extremely strong personality to hold the corruption in check, all these collaborative “digital commons” projects are a leadership change away from completely selling out all the work put into them. That can be feeding everything into AI but it’s also monetization schemes and EULA changes to claim ownership of user submitted content and locking the public out of your site without accounts and subscriptions.
And usually the public’s only recourse is to tear it all down and start again, waiting for the next con artist to come along and steal the village’s prosperity.
Man that is the saddest thing. I really loved that series, sounds like it’s cooked.
That would require “journalist” to still be a real career path. Media sites today have cut costs down to the point where “outsourced guy (about to be replaced by AI) who writes 1000 words about Xitter posts” is what passes for “news reporter” these days. What are those people supposed to do, actual work?
Oh you’re going to be in heaven, it’s one of my favorite books! He really gets into everything: how the game is structured, how different subsystems work (BSP trees, enemy ai, sound, music, every detail), and even gets into peripheral things like how the game was distributed, how the (old) console ports came about, and so much more. The copy on my shelf is actually my third because i keep giving them away to people.
Yes, those are the Game Engine Black Books (Doom|Wolfenstein) by Fabien Sanglard. Highly recommended for anyone interested in games, programming, and history. They are amazing time capsules of those games and the development environments that produced them. I think/hope he’s working on GEBB: Quake and I’m so excited for him to eventually release it!
I feel like the progression of my “Programming shelf” says a lot about my career trajectory as well.
You ever been around geese? Those terrible shits take shits everywhere, all the time. Loud, nasty birds.
Eh, I might buy it on sale since I already have the other Castlevania collections on Switch. They’re convenient to play and I liked the portable games quite a bit. Ecclesia is probably my favorite in the series!
But yeah, also, emulating on Steamdeck would probably be better, but more work to set up and hunt down ROMs.
Speaking of Ecclasia, why did the DS have such great entries in several series? Days of Ruin is also my favorite Advance Wars game, and I feel like both were later games, darker in tone than previous, with actually good use of the touchscreen.
I started a replay of Legend of Mana a while back. I love that game so much, but I haven’t been keeping up with the new releases. I know they did a big remake of SD3 not too long ago, and now a big new game! Anyone playing it?personal thoughts?
I like these things but there are IPAs, peppers, and asses out there that I wouldn’t eat. I understand how it could be confusing though, when sometimes I say “this beer tastes like (bad) ass” or “this IPA is badass” or “eating this asshole is fire” or “this pepper is going to light my asshole on fire”.
In the Unknown Armies setting, McD’s was infiltrated by a magick cabal called the Mak Attax, who “bless” burgers with random magick effects in order to trigger a slow broad awakening to magick in the general population.
Weirdly compelled to construct and then climb into the joctopussy jair. Is this what being driven mad into an Old One cult feels like?
I hope they sing “Goodbye Trump” not only because Goodbye Earl is a banger of a song but also because i want to laugh about Ben Shapiro complaining that The Chicks threatened to murder Trump and open a lesbian jam stand over his secret grave.
I believe you’ll find the documentary film “They Live” educational on the matter of space capitalism.
