- Comment on There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and our favorite song might still be out there. 6 months ago:
Interesting. What did you listen to in your 30’s? Do you remember it as vividly as you do the music you listened to in your teenage years? Can you sing along the same way? How will the music you listen to now compare when you’re in your 50’s?
Not saying the music is objectively better or suitable for all points in life. Just pointing to studies saying teenagers have a huge emotional response to music. IIRC there have been studies showing dementia patients kind of wake up when you start playing music they listened to in their teens.
It’s “better = more suitable here and now” vs “better = more impactful” I guess.
- Comment on There are songs we've gone our whole lives without hearing and our favorite song might still be out there. 6 months ago:
The best songs we’ve ever heard are the ones we listened to as teenagers. You’ll never get a dopamine rush like that again.

Brain imaging studies show that our favorite songs stimulate the brain’s pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains with some of the same neurotransmitters that cocaine chases after.
Music lights these sparks of neural activity in everybody. But in young people, the spark turns into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for good.

- Comment on Long shot - How to get old .sav file to work with modern gameboy color emulators? 8 months ago:
IIRC most emulators use .sav. You should be able to just drop it in the rom folder for most emulators.
Does this one work? github.com/skylersaleh/SkyEmu

Haha yeah it was the only way I could make sense of it…

First function is a sinus curve, commonly written sin().
Second function os a cubic (square) polynomial.
Joke:
Everyone else’s life: Sin.
My life: Square.
- Comment on Has any of you ever tried the "Ragnok 2 gun mouse"? If so, how good is it? 10 months ago:
Lol. It does look great for carpal tunnel/RSI. I’d definitely buy it if it didn’t have such a 'murica gamer kiddo vibe.
- Comment on What's the point of American police saying "Show your hands" after they shot a man? 10 months ago:
…So if you use your hands to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, you won’t get an ambulance?
- Comment on To prevent mashed potatoes from being gummy, boil the potatoes whole. 10 months ago:
Also: beating the potatoes with an electric mixer because you’re too lazy to mash them will produce a glue-like consistency. Don’t do that.

- Chunks of teflon are getting in your food
- The aluminium underneath, which was protected by the teflon, is getting into your food (especially true with acidic foods, since they will react with aluminium and erode it).

Even the post title. Good job I hate you

Learning some functional programming. It really influenced the way I think about code and make coding desicions.
- Comment on What does .: come from / what does it mean? 1 year ago:
“R.:” looks like an appreviated form of “Reply:”/“Response:” but since “History” isn’t abbreviated it just looks like a typo to me.
- Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be? 1 year ago:
Yeah, I’ve never wtf’d so hard in a game as when I entered the thing and left the other thing in the DLC.
That game was so well done and thought through.
- Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be? 1 year ago:
It took me about two or three hours to learn to navigate and find my first “magical thing”. When I did I was hooked. But yeah it can be slow to start.

OUTER WILDS.
It’s a fantastic exploration game if you go in blind and I wish I could forget it all and explore it all again.

That’s really nice to hear, I’m glad you liked it!
- Comment on How to install Linux 1 year ago:
Yeah, I do agree. It just bothers me that they’re trying to pass off emulating a Linux installation (under Windows hypervision) as “installing” and refer to a true install as “bare metal”, as if your Windows installation isn’t. But it does give new users a chance to try it out.
- Comment on How to install Linux 1 year ago:
Ugh, I hate this. At a time when many are searching the internet for guides, they’re injecting the search results with “It’s better if you keep Windows. But if you really, really want to, you can go through the COMPLICATED process of installing Linux BARE METAL 😱”
