  Miyoo/Anbernic present a much better option.

  This has got to be Iron Maiden album art right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cornflakes is cereal. AoE is Age of Empires, you might have heard about it. The comment I replied to was talking about games being released in cereal boxes. Where is the context lacking?

  When I grew up AoE was put in cornflakes.

  This is ridiculous, it’ll never work. They should have gone with my idea of installing a series of air cannons and large nets atop of buildings. Need to get downtown in a rush? Here’s your helmet, climb on in and BOOM! You’re on your way! No stupid take off and landing, just try to flap towards the net.

  You didn’t think Racoonatouille was funny as shit? I lost it at that part.

  Otherwise it was an alright movie, pretty solid, obvious heart string pulling story line. I liked the no matter what universe they are in they end up together schtick, but again I watched it before I knew it was a big hit so had no expectations either way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘If they don’t comply, they die’: family of fatal NSW police shootings call for independent inquiry⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked in Community Mental Health in Sydney for 5 years. During that time a number of people were killed whilst experiencing psychotic episodes, thankfully none of my own clients. Colleagues had to brief police on how to respond, they were dumbfounded at the ignorance and blatant disregard.

  I would never call Police if a family member was going through a similar psychological event. Do whatever you can to handle it yourself before introducing jumpy idiots with firearms to the situation.

  Right, so I know seals are descended from bears, but narwhals being cetaceans are more hippo like? So do we refer to narwhal meat using the same nomenclature as say beef, or is it it’s own thing?

  On an android device you can use Google Home app to run casting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running AI is so expensive that Amazon will probably charge you to use Alexa in future, says outgoing exec⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Google to turn on my TV by saying ‘turn on TV’, easily done. But then when I ask it to adjust volume it asks me which TV… I only have one TV online and it had just turned it on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When people at uni used Matlab, I learned R (before R-studio even existed) and python.

  Good move. MATLAB is trash.

  I never wanted to learn anything MS… …or proprietary technologies such as… …excel

  Eh, depending on your career Excel is worth a tiny bit of time given its pervasiveness and how powerful it is. But like you say, learning open source will make Excel a piece of cake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnightly Recommendations Thread: What do you suggest?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved SD when it came out, think I have played it through 3 times now. I have all of Yakuza but just can’t get into it to the same extent, only managed to finish Zero so far.
