I recognized that scene immediately but didn’t know it was called the “cosmic bit flip”

I recently had a moment of panic at work, a person from a different area was in the break room and was the spitting image of my ex. Albeit, a bit taller.

A stroke of genius! Brainblast!

Q

But it feels like trivial pursuits

I had to read “Speak”. It was basically a short story about a girl getting SA’d and then treated like crap by everyone till the last couple pages. I do not think it had the intended effect they were going for.

I work for a well known (international) business in the USA that used to be known for it’s good benefits. Man are they ass now. 14 days a yr, 21 after 5 years, and could work your way up to 6 weeks at 30yrs. no lunch break, no pension, and some expensive health insurance that covers nothing. Now it used to be 21 starting 28 after 5 yrs, a pension and a lunch break, with some impressive healthcare. And they took away the upper limit of vacation you could get to be 4? IIRC After 30 years. (So 1 extra week after 5 years, then one more after another 25).

The pay is fine but no nearly what it used to be. It used to be $10+ over the competition, now it’s barely $1. They are hurting to hire because of it too

Oh it’s 100% inspired by TA, I played that game so much as a kid and this one is it’s spiritual successor IMO

Hatchet was great! Still a favorite to this day! Sort of, MC was in a plane crash and has to do survival stuff and basically learn it all ad-libbed.

I had to read a book about rape in school called “Speak” it was pretty messed up and I don’t think it had all that good an ending either

That entirely depends on YOU

All I can say is I’m not a bad person (I’d like to think)

This is why I have a degoogled phone and a googled phone. I carry them both around with me but any bank app, or other data harvesting app or necessity goes through that phone,so I may keep the majority of my stuff clean and free (as much as I can within my capabilities)

I feel like this is a great statment on how “meritocracy” works IRL

I just got hit with that in reverse. I was a an absolute chad last week, got all my stuff done, feeling great. Now I’m perpetually exhausted, dream of sleep and death. Zero motivation. Depression a real mood killer that.

Gotta figure out how to even the curves.

I’ve killed deer, chickens, chipmunks, squirrel, and some other small pests. Yes, I did gut and clean the deer and chickens myself. And yes, I did eat their tasty fleshy meat.

This sounds like stalker software in the making. And once something is a resource it will be used. And highly likely, inappropriately too.

If it some how gets public, which I’d argue is more a matter of time, it becomes only more of an issue.

I think bullet heaven works in the sense that you spray the bullets, but it is also a swarm survivor too so I can agree with that as well.

I don’t believe it was the first, but I do believe it was the one that brought the genre to the spotlight. Since Vampire survivors came out the genre has taken off and we’ve seen a great many takes on it which personally, I’ve enjoyed. I find the rather short gameplay nice for fitting into tight schedules and non-commitment gameplay

The YouTuber “Wanderbots” covers a ton of games akin to Vampire survivors and the genre has a pseudo name of “bullet heaven” (opposite of a bullet hell). Plenty of amazing ones like “Death must die” though I cannot remember all the names off the top of my head, just take a look through the videos and I’m sure you’ll find a ton

The cameras are usually nice enough for using as a dash cam if you drive. I use one of mine for a media device around the house, kitchen aid etc. I also use an old one for keeping my current one free of boatware, extra apps, and ensuring privacy on my carry phone (by not having anything google or tacking/data harvesting if I can help it).

Outside of that you could look into using them as potential network devices, DNS ad blockers, etc. I haven’t looked recently but using one as a casting device receiver for TV would be awesome over a Chromecast or the like. But not sure how those projects are going
