Combat and Gorf are amazing. I may feel that way about Combat because it was the first one I remember playing. However, Gorf is like three games in one so you got a lot of bang for your buck in playtime.

Yep. They showed it at a film festival a year ago.

What do you mean? This is the greatest art in the history of art. It makes me FEEL something. Those in game graphics don’t make me feel at all.

The agency that created the box art created it for the exact reason you picked it up.

Mega Man would like a word.

Just look at that sexy bastard.

I have also traveled here from the 80’s and I’m here to tell you one thing:

That sounds like their fucking problem. If that’s all that is stopping you then you get your tiny gym shorts and crop top, friend.

Defederation makes it so that figuring out which instance to sign up with in order to see your friends and local businesses (since we’re talking about vs Facebook instead of Twitter or Reddit) would be a nightmare for the average person.

I have multiple accounts on some services trying to get to everything I want to see. I mostly gave up on Pixelfed. My main Mastodon account can see people on other instances but has problems seeing their posts. And I’m absolutely not willing to troubleshoot it because between work, a social life, and other hobbies I just don’t have the time or give a shit.

I like the fediverse. I’m here. I use it. But I’m only going to use what’s convenient and I promise that I have more patience than the average non tech person who wants to sign up using a linked Gmail account and see all the things they expect to see without having to think about it.

Edit: I think my brain skipped the last two sentences in that comment. I just sat here and bitched about something that was already mentioned. I have brought nothing to this discussion and have brought shame upon my house.

Reading your comment is how I found out. That makes me sad.

I don’t know if you’re right or if you’re trying to sell me something, but you sound knowledgeable so I’m in. Where do I send my cash?

Yeah, but I need to know what the one after AI is going to be so I can get in on the ground floor.

Is that the MMO where they read Ready Player One and said “Yep, I’m ready to build a mesh peer-to-peer MMO because that means there will be no discernable lag for an infinite number of people, just like in the book”?

I’m considering stealing your comment and selling it to the highest bidder. How much ether do you think it would take to knock you out?

It’s just Shatner, isn’t it? Except even he doesn’t really speak it even though he was in a movie that was entirely Esperanto.

I have no solid info because I’m terrible, but I love it.

My buddy likes to tell people the biggest exports from his hometown are illiteracy and methamphetamines.

I watch a lot of garbage movies on purpose and love them. I have never watched this movie on purpose but I have a memory of catching parts of it somewhere. Maybe on a Roku channel years ago in between other b movies? Maybe at a friend’s house when they were watching terrible movies? I don’t have any idea, really. What I do remember was absolutely fucking terrible, and not in the fun kind of way.

I’ve got a mouth like a sailor who stubbed his toe, mostly because I used to be a sailor who stubbed his toe a lot. Between my foul mouth and my either overuse or utter absence of fucking commas depending on how drunk I am I don’t think I’ll ever be mistaken for an LLM.

It’s not terrible now, but it’s still not where you’d want it to be. I installed Fedora KDE spin on a surface pro 7 early this year and didn’t lose as much battery as you. Palm rejection is not where it should be but is better than it was 5 years ago with a few tweaks.

I’m not a big tinkerer anymore so someone with time and energy could probably do a better job with it. I think my personal biggest problem is that I did it on an external drive just to test it out and lost interest. I never use the damn thing anyway, Linux or not. I just don’t touch a computer outside of work except for my phone and some mini PCs I’ve set up as gaming consoles.

It’s so strange, around here there’s no real difference between a bloody Mary and a bloody Caesar. I know what the difference really is but no one seems to give a shit at brunch.

However, folks around here are super proud of their micheladas. Everyone does the clamato juice with vodka, beer, and Tajin. But they all try to outdo each other with the other spices and presentation.

Other than my friend’s pitcher that I loved, the place that does the best micheladas in my opinion is Captain Tom’s. It’s the most mediocre seafood joint that is amazing when you’re getting over being fucked up. If I hadn’t been to Taqueria Ruby tonight to fix myself I’d definitely be there tomorrow morning trying to feel normal.
