It gets to the end of the movie, and he says "OK, i think I’m ready to do this for real. It pans out to a huge set. The whole thing was just The Rehearsal for James to actually go on the mission.

That’s pretty easily avoidable, too. Don’t play online games, or talk to people. That’s what I do.

- Comment on Some people think that proprietary software for a 3d printer is a plus? 4 days ago:
I use the proprietary software for mine. Flashforge was nice enough to put out a native Linux version. I like it. But it’s very comforting to know that if I stop liking it for any reason, Cura works just fine with my printer. I don’t get using your closed source software as a selling point, though.

Oh, thats really cool. I never had any pre-pentium stuff. I used an Apple ][ in school, and I remember playing Oregon Trail on 5.25 floppies, on a beautiful green monochrome monitor. But my first computer at home was a Pentium 133. It was a Compaq LTE 5300, with the docking bay, the CD drive, extra batteries, all the fixings. I loved that thing.

I wish I still had my old computers. I really miss my 98 machine with an 8mb 3D Rage Pro. I used that until 2005. Ive been buying some WinXP errands stuff recently, since it seems to be in the sweet spot for buying right now. I got a pair of quad core Xeons for $10! Ive got 32gb of DDR2 for $35. The GTX 980ti wasn’t super cheap, but thats a card you maybe still could use today. This is going to be the bitchin’-est XP machine. Im excited.

Yes, but that’s pretty miniscule compared to booting any of the linux based retro handhelds. An Bernice, Powkiddy, R36S, they all have like a 30-40 second boot time.
- Comment on Everything is a problem 1 week ago:
It’s completely comparable in this circumstance. They are performing similar functions, playing handheld games. My R36S is a pretty impressive little device, and it performs excellently at playing games. But using it is much more complicated and longer than popping a game in a gameboy.
Gameboy: insert game, turn on, play, turn off. R36S: turn on, 30-40 second boot time, locate game, play, exit emulator, shut down, 10 second shutdown time.

I helped my dad install a new dumb thermostat last winter. We just had to drill a couple of new holes to mount it, and moved the wires over. Boom,there was heat again. I thought about how much of a pain in the ass it was to get my Ecobee working, and how refreshing it was to just have something work immediately.
It’s a very similar feeling to playing my GameBoy Color again after messing around with retro gaming linux handhelds. You just turn it on and play, then just turn it off. No boot sequences, no emulator settings to tweak. No SD card corruption that ruins your game library. Just on and off.
- Comment on I require nothing more 3 weeks ago:
I need three desks. Modern PC desk, retro PC desk, and a soldering desk. Otherwise, perfect.

This reminds me for some reason about the time I found a half-full can of vintage rat poison at an antique store. It was basically entirely arsenic.

You could tell me that was somebody from the 1980’s WWF and I’d totally believe you. Like, a cross between Captain Lou and Tugboat.

Haven’t seen her show, but as somebody technically in the UMC with a lot of shit to get rid of, I can understand them wanting to appeal to that market.

Exactly. I dont mind a little extra buffering. I mostly watch things in 720 oe 1080, and I’ve barely noticed the change.

That will be awesome for when my body dies, but I still want to be a brain in a jar playing MechWarrior.
- Comment on Pooping with friends 2 months ago:
I lock the door even when I’m home alone. I dont want any dogs, or toddlers, or even my wife in there. I’ll go down to the basement, even. To the Shit Dungeon, my sanctuary.

This makes me think of this clip of Mr. Girl where he sits his girlfriend down and tells her that her orgasm isn’t his responsibility, and goes on to express that he just cares about himself getting off, and pretty sure he said it would be better if she just laid there and didn’t make any noise.
This guy operates on a level of sarcasm that is so constant and extreme, I can’t tell what he’s serious about and what is some type of social commentary. A lot of things he says are so creepy and offensive, it’s just safer to avoid him altogether.

Looks a lot like my wardrobe, even the Chucks. Can’t quite find a cut like that anymore, but I love that wash. And, honestly, I like it when they get tattered by the heel.

My wife INSISTS we have a printer, in case she ever wants to print anything. She never does. It has a scanner. Admittedly, a very nice one. I use the scanner every year at tax time. I suggested we get another smaller, lighter scanner. She says we don’t need two scanners. So, for the last 5 years, I have had to lug this 25.7lb behemoth out of the basement to scan like, 6 things, and take it back downstairs. That is all we use it for.

- Comment on Forever Skies 1.0 out now 3 months ago:
Yeah, you’re right it is pretty linear. Astroneer is fantastic regarding freedom, I totally agree. And I love that it doesn’t have the food and water requirements, just air. That really lets you focus more on the exploration. Haven’t played the other two you mentioned. I’d definitely say Forever Skies is a casual game. If I weren’t playing that at night, I’d probably be playing Boggle Plus or Dr. Mario on the GameBoy. If I had the time (not at 11pm) to really get into a game where I cared about story or interesting mechanics, I would be playing something better. I could finally finish F.E.A.R., after 20 years. Or start MechWarrior 5.
