Sega does what Nintendon’t.

It warms my old man heart to see the console flame wars still going strong. Tribalism, what a thing, lemme tell ya. Human nature at its naturist.

MOVEMENT CONTROLS PEAKED WITH WASD!

So, all the uploaders deserve a ban?

Plot twist: the toddler has a multi-year marketing push worth tens if not hundreds of millions, which convinced a lot of people who don’t know the first thing about chess that it really is very impressive, and all those chess-types are just jealous.

Huh, I didn’t know people anyone even painted with baby oil.

Resource hidden where we can’t see it? Best to assume it’s infinite and there will be no repercussions.

The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven’t seen that attempted yet.

This is something that even larger corps struggle with. My old company would buy some other company, lay off a bunch of people, others would quit, and then it was shocked Pikachu faces all around when That One Thing stopped working in an office they turned into a ghost town and, well, no, nobody was going to be there until Monday morning to power cycle etc. True lights out/OOB reachability is WORK. And there’s always going to be a SPOF somewhere that requires hands on-site.

Do what you can, when you can. And thank you for all that y’all have done so far.

Thanks for the heads up, try not to stress too much.

I resemble that remark.

That was absolutely beautiful.

I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

That’s what she said.

You ever try emptying your clip at an entire Ikea?

No… but you probably just aroused a few dozen ammosexuals.

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it’s been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Live with underlying existential dread for decades. Watch as “doing what you love” becomes “hating what you used to love because you’re forced to do it so that there’s enough numbers in the computer to prove that you’re worthy of continued existence.” Contemplate the pointlessness of it all on a daily basis. Be reminded that your feelings are invalid because “other people have it worse” every time the topic comes up. Nod listlessly as “successful” people tout their own hard work while ignoring any factor luck and privilege played, then tune out when they shift into the dissonant duet of “I succeeded because I am exceptional” and “anyone can do the same if they just work harder.”

Wake up the next morning and realize there’s roughly 30 more years of this, barring a massive coronary or aneurism or something.

My thought process went a little something like:

Holy shit that’s a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?

Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.

Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?

…OH! 🤦‍♂️
