From now on

Just like they said yesterday!

Looking forward to “Backyard Ultimate Team” and all it’s associated micro transactions

I got my brother, who is not Linux-savvy, set up playing Clone Hero on his Steam Deck while I was thousands of miles away and it played with no input lag basically out of the box on SteamOS. If you’re looking for a good Guitar Hero experience on Linux with lots of custom songs, Clone Hero is for you.

If you’re looking for Guitar Hero with characters, venues, and no input lag on Linux I have nothing to suggest. :/

So if the ancestry of programming languages can be traced back like C# => C++ => C => B Then what came before B?

I named my daughter Rubyonrails

We call her “On” for short

I bought and still own a Razer Sixense Hydra. I would 100% have bought this thing had I owned a gaming PC back in 2007

If you’ve never played Super Space ________ and you’re looking for local split screen games I highly recommend it. It’s an amazing blend of competitive and cooperative design that’s always fun and chaotic. And it’s free! But it’s not on Steam since it’s a collegiate project. Link

From what I’ve heard of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, that’s a very similar game but I haven’t tried it.

“It’s not about PR, it’s about those teams… I have to run a sustainable business so they’re on their own because I say so.”

My life has definitely gotten better since I started doing this. Local restaurants are almost universally better anyways

Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account.

Just like how Microsoft domain-bound emails were stored locally on machines running Outlook, right? Or how purchasing and downloading music, movies, and video games meant that we owned them, right?

I don’t believe for a fucking second that this “feature” will remain locally encrypted forever. Fuck Microsoft, fuck the AI bubble.

“Don’t be evil!

…

wait, you say you’ll pay me to be evil? Well fuck that changes everything!”

Sounds like the Team Fortress 2 team has been busy, but didn’t want to count to 3

That’s perfect. I don’t think there could be a better way to describe it in one sentence. It’s also a fun spin on the “like skyrim with guns” oversimplification lol

I just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn for the second time and it was way more engaging than I remember it being back in 2017. Apparently a lot of reviews ragged on it for “not being Breath of the Wild” which is a lame thing to complain about, even if the game came out at the same time, and they share a lot of thematic elements (like heavily focusing on archery, fighting ancient machines, exploring a beautiful world, etc.).

But it’s a very different game, very narrative heavy, very beautiful, and very well-optimized on PC. The combat is very focused and fun in a good way.

That’s not bad, but is there a digital equivalent of a horse we could use?

I was just commenting on the fact that programming to handle time zone conversions (and daylight savings time) is difficult enough without having to factor planetary orbit into the equation. Colonization aside, even if we found native martians had a calendar they were “currently” using, writing a program to convert from any Earth calendar time to native Martian calendar time would be an astronomical pain in the ass.

Sounds like you might have a lot of hatred in you. I hope you’re going to therapy. I am for that exact reason.

Born too late to have to fix the Y2K problem, born too soon to have to consider Mars’ time zones in the database, born just in time to have most time zone problems solved before I even got involved

What do you mean? In what way am I being ignorant? I thought the whole idea was satirical and satire only works if you’re painfully aware of that which is being satirized. I think the empirical system of measurement is absurd since all the metrics are based off of completely subjective concepts. The only thing the empirical system is good for is being relatable to human minds. A foot is roughly a foot’s length. 100 degrees F is “hot” and 0 degrees F is cold. A cup is about a fistful. Etc.

THIS is what I’m talking about!

What community do you think we’re in? c/NewStandardProposals?
