Nah it was outside at the electric factory. They played with Opeth, Gojira, and Devin Townsend. Wish I could relive that one

Yeah, I saw them in Philly like 5-6 years ago. Brent was getting increasingly agitated with the roadies in between songs. It got to the point where he smashed his monitor to pieces right on the stage. Guy clearly has some issues.

The did recently kick Brent out of the band, speaking of new directions
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 4 days ago:
I feel like this is all driven by MS diving full force into AI stuff. Their capex is going to be insane so they’re cutting shit left and right to keep Wall Street happy while they set cash on fire trying to make AI something more than anime profile pic generators.
- Comment on Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's new IP, and other unannounced projects 6 days ago:
That game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird

Seems a foregone conclusion at this point that they’re going to brand a PC as an Xbox and allow it to run both Xbox and PC games on it. They may not even bother making the hardware themselves like they’re doing with this partnership on the “Xbox” handheld which is really just a cross branded Asus handheld.
- Comment on Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's new IP, and other unannounced projects 6 days ago:
While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.
Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.
- Comment on My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN... 1 week ago:
I have a controller that plugs right into my opener with a magnetic sensor for if the door is open or not. Running Homebridge I can see it and open and close it from anywhere. Did it all the way from Thailand a while back just for shits and giggles. I gotta see if I can configure it to auto shut if it’s still open at night, have had a couple of whoopsies there.

Maybe. More likely they will discard the validity of the story based on the source.

Well, there’s always 686 Ebullient Prism or 2401 Penitent Tangent
- Comment on Drone debris found in Ukraine indicates Russia is using new technology from Iran 1 week ago:
It had an advanced camera, a computing platform powered by artificial intelligence and a radio link, allowing an operator to pilot it remotely from Russia. It also contained new, Iranian-made, anti-jamming technology, according to a Ukrainian drone expert.
An unwelcome development for sure

Was hoping for something halo since it’s #343

Any bets on how long until this repo gets nuked?

I get the impression that the cops are about to hate facial recognition all of the sudden, for no particular reason

And some people (named Peter Thiel) want both!
- Comment on Russia says countries now ready to supply Iran with nuclear weapons 2 weeks ago:
Well that would be pretty bad. This guy says a lot of crazy shit though so I’m holding on hope it’s just his typical alcohol infused ranting.

I may do this with my second gameboy color. Any good ways to remove scuffs from the plastic shell?

- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 weeks ago:
Considering you get better items when you’re behind, it’s a no brainer
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 weeks ago:
We called that game “Don’t Drink and Drive” back in college
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 3 weeks ago:
Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?
I regularly get blue shelled and I still smoke people. There’s lots of strategy in the game and randomization is something that keeps games fresh. At the end of the day it’s an arcade racer, not everything has to be Gran Turismo

- Comment on Menstrual tracking app data is a ‘gold mine’ for advertisers that risks women’s safety – report 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I know it’s not FOSS in the slightest, but it’s not a predatory app selling your health data to the highest bidder, presumably. I acknowledge that requires taking Apple’s word at face value though
- Comment on Menstrual tracking app data is a ‘gold mine’ for advertisers that risks women’s safety – report 3 weeks ago:
Well on iOS there’s the Apple health app. To my knowledge it stores health data locally. I’ll double check now

I’d say it’s an inevitability, just a question of when

If Voyager adds piefed support I’m definitely jumping over
- Comment on Trump signs orders to bolster US drone defenses, boost supersonic flight 4 weeks ago:
I mean yeah sure the US is a massive exporter of death. Still pretty dumb to imply that they’re not interested in drone defenses considering they don’t want to lose a potential war in the future where drones will obviously play a huge part in.
