Narrator: The world was not the least bit surprised.
- Comment on Day 497 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, Black Flag’s seafaring was fun. It was enjoyable to guide your ship around, explore the random tiny unnamed islets, dive into the ocean and hear the crew laugh about the captain jumping overboard.
Yes, collecting every last thing was a grind. But it was a fun grind. It felt like I was choosing to do all that, even though the game was psychologically goading me into it.
(Insert philosophical discussion about free will related to a video game about genetic memory and following predicted behavior.)

AC3 is the only AC game I never got to 100%. It just… wasn’t fun.
In every other AC game, even the parts that weren’t as enjoyable didn’t feel like such a grind.

It can’t be checkmate if the wind has blown over all the pieces.
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 2 weeks ago:
No, he’d probably use something made by a reputable company.
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe at the office, but for real security in the batcave? He’d be on Waynux
- Comment on Reuse old security system 2 weeks ago:
I know enough about electrics that I might be able to help, but I’m not a security system expert.
A lot of these old wired systems are basically continuity detectors. If someone breaks a window or opens a door, continuity breaks, and therefore an alarm sounds. It’s like flipping a switch from on to off. And the IR stuff is just ordinary motion detection, the technology is still really common today.
You might be able to do a variety of stuff with that, depending on exactly what’s installed and how technically adept you are.
If you can find the service or installation manual for your old panel, you can find out how it was wired up. Sometimes the patch panels are pretty basic, and you might be able to wire the connections into any number of things. Maybe a new alarm panel - or maybe a Raspberry Pi you can program to do different things when windows and doors open or closed. For example, when continuity breaks on your front door, you can tell the system to turn on your indoor lights.
So yes, there’s a lot you can potentially do with it all. It all depends on how much work you want to put into it, and whether you can figure out how it’s all connected.

- Comment on 3rd-person shooters optimized for controllers? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, these days I play everything with a controller - because I’d rather sit on the couch than in a desk chair.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 weeks ago:
The atmosphere is just air. Air doesn’t have mass or weight, that’s why it floats.

You might like the Max Payne series.
Third-person action shooters with bullet time.
- Comment on If Marx was alive during the Cold War and beyond, how would he react to the communist states that rose to power? Would he approve or disapprove of them? 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t basically every political philosopher hate the governments built off their philosophies?
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. It’s all empty space under the foundation. There’s nothing to create crushing force against the building.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 weeks ago:
Solution: instruct the buildings upside down, so the foundations are up in the air and the roofs are underground. That way, the electricity will flow down instead of up.
- Comment on Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why? 3 weeks ago:
Nutritional yeast is sold at lots of grocery stores, especially organic ones.
And it’s delicious. I add it to most food I cook. Many folks also use it as the base for vegan cheese.
I can’t answer your vitamin question, but I thought this would help.

- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 4 weeks ago:
Oh, everything.
Got a $20m yacht? Sell it. Oh, youcre forced to sell it for $50k because nobody will give you more? That’s just the free market, clearly it’s only worth $50k.
Paid $75m to build your house? Well someone is offering you $175k and you’d better take it.
And you own a company worth $100m? No you don’t, it was already taken from you and turned into a worker-owned co-op.
After all the sales and seizures, you’ve got $23.1m in cash, and just 1m more in the bank? OK, dude, we cool.
- Comment on When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No? 4 weeks ago:
I’d make all the billionaires the same choice:
(a) Give away everything except, say, 25 million.
(b) Guillotine.

We have a right to know if you’re actually a bigot before we include you in our responses.
That’s how it works.
- Comment on Winter burrow SBI controversy 4 weeks ago:
I laugh at the person who downvoted me.
The only reason someone would downvote me is if they are a bigot.
- Comment on Winter burrow SBI controversy 4 weeks ago:
Everyone who bitches about “wokeness” is, in fact, a bigot.
Bigotry is always evil. Bigots should be shunned and deplatformed.

Either that, or your taste in cheese is VERY sharp!

In fact, I do!
My explanation is that OP doesn’t understand the history he’s sharing, and ia fundamentally misinterpreting both (a) pre-WWII Italy and (b) modern American politics.
