I’m finding Game Rant is pretty obnoxious like that all the time.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 4 weeks ago:
I was mildly obsessed. It felt like the future! I miss technology like that. I’m kinda excited for all this AR stuff people are talking about because I haven’t really been excited by the latest and greatest shiny black rectangle in a long time.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 4 weeks ago:
Yep. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, I always say.

Thanks! It was a pain to set up the little screen trick but for what it’s worth, I won the contest!

About 21 years ago (😩) I made a stereoscopic photo for some online contest. I was pretty proud of it.

- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust | The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names. 5 weeks ago:
You replied to “It was modified to make these kinds of responses much more likely” with the rebuttal that it’s “statistical”. When something has a varying degree of likelihood, that’s exactly what statistical means.

You literally don’t know what the word “statistical” means.
- Comment on Those posts for little home gadgets that show up on social media, kinda like "as seen on tv" stuff but since it's tiktok/insta and other such sites, what would those be called? 5 weeks ago:
I think we can call them astroturfed garbage.
- Comment on Poop In A Box 1 month ago:
There’s a VR game that I think has a flat port as well, called The Last Worker. You basically play The Last human working at an obvious Amazon analogue. It’s pretty entertaining.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 month ago:
8 was designed terribly, but the engineering was unbelievably good. It was more streamlined and stable than it had ever been, it was just skinned by a tablet-obsessed moron.
- Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market? 1 month ago:
As I understand it, Onyx Boox/Palma devices are great, but Onyx is a flagrant violator of GPL FWIW. For a full size reader I always recommend/second the Kobo Libra Colour and for a Palma replacement, the Bigme Hibreak is fantastic and also comes in color for a great price.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 1 month ago:
It really was brutal, but in the way that makes you very aware that it’s your fault for sucking at it.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 1 month ago:
I used to sing Sub Terrania’s praises long before it was cool. That game is a gem. The development team was a bunch of demoscene madmen who were able to wring miracles out of the Genesis.
Their later game, Red Zone, is a technological flex like nothing else.

Reminded me of this old gem, original source sadly lost to the sands of the web.

If you like pedantry, people have definitely flown in vehicles and even jumped.

That’s great advice. At least for as long as libraries still exist. 😫

I hear good things about Pimsleur as an alternative.

Excuse my ignorance of genre names, but isn’t Rogue Trader a fully blown Warhammer CRPG?

- Comment on Judge Rules Apple Senior Executive Lied Under Oath, Makes Criminal Contempt Referral 3 months ago:
True enough, but you’d still be playing legal whack-a-mole because by the letter of the law, you could still be legally relatively poor but have access to an insane amount of money in lots of ways.
- Comment on Judge Rules Apple Senior Executive Lied Under Oath, Makes Criminal Contempt Referral 3 months ago:
In principle, yes, but hiding wealth is also like Rich Bastard 101 stuff.

Corrected. One pedant point awarded.

Knowledgeable identification of an insect from the photo with cited reasoning: nice.

- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 3 months ago:
The problem is that the winners don’t share. They exploit the others. That’s exactly what got us here in the first place.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 3 months ago:
Any economist or data scientist should be able to pretty easily compare the economic course to a forecast of what would have happened with minimal interference.
Will we listen? No, because experts don’t count for shit in the US anymore.
