Yeah, changing IRQ addresses for peripherals until everything worked wad fun. /s
Also, some people thought it was black magic that I could hex edit a program’s executable to change it from English to Portuguese.

How about this phrase: “Make sure you daughter behaves herself”
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 1 month ago:
Delist thousands of games, or deslist a handful of payment middle-men?

Dungeon Crawler Carl is pretty good and has a great audio book as well. Primal Hunter, Mother of learning (series actually has an ending).
- Comment on Novels and Movies Offer Closure. Video Games Should Too. [The New York Times] 2 months ago:
Novels offer closure? Ever heard of G.R. R. Martin? How about Patrick Rothfuss? How about 80% of all litrpg?

Add the cop’s take as an overhead.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games! 2 months ago:
Oh, sorry. It looks like only online co-op. I just checked the settings. There is only options for tcp/ip multi-player, or steam multiplayer.

Tinkerlands. I just got it together with Novalands (which is a good time sink on switch). Haven’t started playing it yet, but it seems similar to terraria, but topdown and with more focus on coop.

Also agree. That final episode still haunts me to this day.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 3 months ago:
That might be US only, where the companies have freedom to get all the customer’s data and do with it as they will.
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 4 months ago:
I think that is literally, objectively evil. How can we fight back? I already use adblocks online, that is one way, I think.
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 4 months ago:
It’s that…the reason we are so dissatisfied with our lives? We may not even pay attention to most adverts, but subconsciously, they affect us and make us fell unhappy?
- Comment on Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. 4 months ago:
Maybe the dream is like the loading screen while the brain is busy saving data, so it can’t save that too.
- Comment on Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. 4 months ago:
I have sometimes written down dreams, and then looking at what I wrote days later, it’s just crazy stuff that makes little sense.
- Comment on Assuming the world is a simulation 4 months ago:
Imagine we mix the two. If a single developer created the (computer) simulation we are living in, aren’t we a hallucination of his brain?
I wonder if it’s more or less likely that would be the work of a single developer, or a collaborative effort, like complex development projects require a large group for us. Would assuming a hyper-intelligent brain, or one with infinite time change the equation?
Now I imagine how having infinite power and resources in this universe would make a difference. Is this floating brain (let’s call him ‘god’, just as a placeholder) be more likely to create a physical structure (atoms and such) to run his simulation/hallucination/thought experiment, or just use abstract structures? And would it make a difference for the simulated/hallucinated people inside?

Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.
