- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 6 days ago:
I have a pi-hope and I’m running Wipr 2… a LOT of blank white space on that page hahaha
- Comment on Our first look at the Steam Machine, Valve’s ambitious new game console 1 week ago:
It sort of is… I collect consoles, I have everything from the 2600 to PS3/Wii/360. I quit after that because the XBone and PS4 were just horrible shitty PCs that ran games like garbage and had insane load times. I like the newest XBox and PS5, but I’m done collecting consoles forever because they’re just locked down PCs now. The Steam Machine is a console for computer game players with MUCH LESS locked down OS than a PlayStation or XBox and I love that idea very much. I have four high-end computers for games at my house (maybe five, one is old but still works great with linux) and I would still consider a Steam Machine in my house as another first computer… but it does really taste like a console (in a good way)

BTC is best and I do have some, but I didn’t get into LLMs, no use case for me at this point. But I think VR is in a completely different bucket. VR was so fucking awesome for my partner and myself to chill out in with our friends in 2020 when we couldn’t go out and see peeps. It’s also easily the best most fun form of exercise.

Jesus! I’m so sorry your friend went through that, that’s awful! I’m very thankful for test strips now… it’s terrifying that something so opposite can just find its way into blow.
I’m glad you’re safe, and I hope your friend is okay now.
Good on you for no longer fuckin with it. My partner and I drink too much but otherwise are mainly sober from substances—we just have some random special days every couple months where we do something fancy and fun.
- Comment on Thank me later... 1 week ago:
It’s not even as expensive as people say it is. If it’s not shitty, ya don’t go through a ball in a night! My partner and I still occasionally dabble, and we maybe go through .1-.2 each for a couple hours of zoot.
The test kits are really cool, too. You break a glass ampule and shovel in a tiiiiny bit in. The shade of dark the chemicals turn tells you the purity. I’ve seen it turn a sludgy light-brown watery poo color a long time ago… and I’ve seen it turn black since then.
- Comment on Thank me later... 1 week ago:
Hahaha I had done it a few times during my rave phase but I was almost always disappointed. Like, you gotta do so much of it that it clogs your nose and it goes away so quickly! Then randomly an acquaintance of mine maaaany years later told me they dabbled (understatement) and I learned that almost all coke is complete garbage. A couple bumps had me zooted for like an hour. Remember kids, if it’s already a powder when it comes to you, it’s been stepped on. If you’re getting a shiny chunk that’s almost gummy-feeling, you’re in for a treat.

Having had oodles of bad to mediocre coke in my days and then having 90+% pure (tested myself) I honestly think this graph is misleading, and coke is waaaaay higher.
The problem is, meth dumps your serotonin and feels good by itself, while coke requires you to be doing something that dumps your sweet brain chems to really feel good-good. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s been explained to me. Doing coke and sitting around watching a show is meh. Doing blow and playing a stimulating video game or doing a project that feels good or talking your partner’s ear off (and they yours in return) about ridiculous shit feels incredible.
But yeah. If you need to do a couple lines of coke to really feel it, it’s not good. If you’re getting zooted off a couple bumps, that’s the good stuff.

Having done all of these, DMT does not have the same kind of dopamine release. It is, however, the far most interesting of all of these. But definitely not something I’m ready to casually do at a party, unlike a couple bumps of fine Peruvian nasal fuel.

I call it “Exxx, the everything app” sarcastically like Liz from TrueAnon does. I never used Twitter but I just find it funny to call it that.

I was so scared to get it set up… it was my first Linux experience other than an Ubuntu box in 2007 or so. It was soooo much easier than I expected. I have it as my DHCP server tho, so if it goes down, my house has no web. I reeeeeally should update the system and my block lists though…
- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 2 weeks ago:
I need to update my pi-hole but I’m terrified to… I’ve been using it for more than five years and it’s been a hands-off champion; I’m afraid if I updated it’ll get all fucked up and I’ll have to reinstall.

- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 2 weeks ago:
In an old version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” for the computer, if you take too long before starting a game, Regis gets pissed at you and starts yelling at you. If you take a bit longer. He closes the game.

Ehhhh I build a computer that lasts eight years or more for 2KUSD
I think spending 1.5kUSD on a pocket computer that stays fast and works amazingly for at least five years is legit. I got my last phone five years ago and didn’t even need to upgrade, I just wanted more storage space and 120hz screen. Oh and better cameras. But 1-2k is not too much for a phone if you use it as a pocket computer with… what rivals a DSLR but you don’t have to bring your DALE with you, attached to it.
You can get a decent phone for cheap, but it’s gonna be kinda shit it a couple years. I don’t have to lug my Nikon with me anymore and that’s great.

My hats and a weird patch got me a ton of free games and an Index so I have to agree with you. I have a dope ass piece of sick VR shit that I got for zero moneys.

I had too many unopened loot crates #1-20 and one day there was a weird patch and I sold them all to get a free Valve Index in 2020

Daaamn Ragnarok Online had OBBs and OPBs in like 2003… they just weren’t purchasable with cash unless you went through third parties. But they are loot boxes. Also my favorite game ever and I spent so many hours farming for loot boxes to sell.
- Comment on Good Halloween Games 3 weeks ago:
Anything by Chilla’s Art. The Coffee Shop, Parasocial, The Bathhouse, Shinkansen 0, The Radio Station.
Also The Hex if you want a spooky mood but no jumpscares. Go in blind, it’s by Daniel Mullins who did Inscryption. It’s an incredible game. Ignore the screenshots on Steam and don’t watch the trailer, it’s five USD and the graphics make sense after playing for 30m.
If you want jump scares, At Dead of Night. My partner and I are horror aficionados and we cannot play that game.

ALSO can Mojang get my goshfuckin ALPHA account back that Microsoft deleted because I wasn’t paying attention to their bullshit during COVID and now it’s gone forever even if I make a Microsoft account which I will never do and now I have to pay money to Microsoft (which I will also never do and have never done)?

Tails, when I was maybe six? I had very confusing feelings about him.
