You’re right. I wasn’t sure if you were talking about new or old games. I’ll always encourage owning ROMs as opposed to paying monthly to access them for the few years they’ll be available on [current device]. And with such a tiny library, too.
Then there are other factors, like not being able to access certain versions (Nintendo offers only the Shindou version of SM64 because breaking an ancient single player game for fun is verboten).
Not even just out of spite. In a way its another form of “voting with one’s wallet”. It will affect their sales, and if their heads aren’t too far up their assess (like, sitting on their own shoulders), they’ll finally get a clue.
But I’m not holding my breath.
Safe from Ukraine maybe. I’m hoping for a pod of orcas to find them!
I was just talking to a friend, and I also used “jaded”. It’s the perfect word to describe my feelings. In any other timeline I’d allow myself slightly more hopefulness.
I don’t know nearly enough to determine if I should be excited, but I feel like we need to start walking up a lot of sleeping people. (It sounds like) it’s finally happening!
Exactly. That POS has been given more chances to not genocide his neighbors than you or I get when using an incorrect PIN to access our own money.
Fuck putin and fuck the russian government.
Also while we’re at it, fuck the IOC. The sports themselves are cool though.
Dunno why PowerToys isn’t bundled by default tbh.
PowerToys give the user more power, which goes directly against Microsoft’s own goal.
Also, less seriously, “toys” implies the user might enjoy the experience, and you know they can’t let that happen.
I’ve also cone to realize that this is the real purpose of ads.
[email protected], you have the right idea, but the other key thing you should remember is to never talk about the corps to anyone, even if you’re dragging their name through the mud. “No such thing as bad press,” as they say.
It’s good to denounce the practice, but it seems naming and shaming specific companies just doesn’t work anymore at this stage.
I was gonna say that Texas’ flag is the only one “allowed” to be at the same height as the U.S. flag, but apparently I’ve been taught a big ol’ lie.
In fact it looks like we’re both wrong, according to Snopes.
If anyone here wants a fun way to memorize more digits, enjoy this song!
Really glad I have a legit reason to share this old thing
I remember reading about how silicon is theoretically possible, but I had (erroneously) assumed there were more potential candidates. Thanks for the additional info. This stuff is so fascinating!
It’s impossible to tell if that’s an indictment of the people’s attitude or the “healthcare” system. Probably both. This country sucks rotten ass sometimes.
These answers are all really fun but I didn’t see anyone point out one thing: why should we assume that our creators’ “computer” architecture is anything remotely similar to our technology? I’m thinking of something like SETI—We can’t just assume that all other life is carbon-based (though evidently it’s a pretty good criterion). The simulation could be running on some kind of dark matter machine or some other exotic material that we don’t even know about.
Personally I don’t subscribe to the simulation theory. But if it were true, why would the system have any kind of limitation? I feel like if it can simulate everything from galactic superclusters down to strings vibrating in Planck Time, there are effectively no limits.
Then again, infinity is quite a monster, so what do I know?
Curious, where are you from? I like it when people from other countries use y’all, especially when the apostrophe is in the right place 🙂
Wow, thank you for this awesome write-up! You didn’t need to go so out of your way to teach a stranger, but I appreciate the heck out of it.
I never would have thought this could work with cats, or any kind of behavioral conditioning for that matter. It’s the exact thing I would expect from a dog-training regimen. Regardless, I’ll give it a shot. I think I’ll see great results from the one who used to be right behind my heels wherever I would go at home. She still adores all attention, but she’s a little more independent now 😊
Thanks again for the tips! You’ll have a share of the credit for any future snoot boops.
You mean there’s more of me out there?!
✅ No buffering, music starts instantly
✅ No connection issues
✅ No monthly money drain
✅ No arbitrary access or availability revocation
❌ No immediate access to any song I want to hear, but
✅ I’m patient
I. Want. Your. Cat. To teach mine how to be movie-level adorable.
Freeplane is such an amazing mind mapping program, as long as you have some patience for learning it. I had never heard of it until maybe a year ago when I downloaded it. It’s FOSS!
There are so many ways you can relate ideas to each other and lay out details. Plus it lets you embed internal or external links, images, and probably other types of media; I haven’t gotten around to exploring all the features yet. And it also supports add-ons made by the community to extend its already broad functionality.
I’m currently using it to plan my dream video game, and it has been a priceless source of continued inspiration. I have pretty bad ADHD, but using this software has helped me stay motivated and ambitious. I used to get overwhelmed and turned off while navigating my huge plaintext thought-vomit notes. I swear this isn’t an ad, as much as it sounds like one 😂
I’ve been using Okular and so far it’s great. I’ll have to take a look at Sumatra as well. To hell with Adobe!
Loved it to death as a kid, and I still listen to the OST every now and then. It has some great music! The first several songs are so unbelievably chill.
