Weird Al Yankovic’s first movie released in 1989. That clearly explains it.

Agreed, but I liked the animation style better in the first series.

Which may or may not be BS intended to save their reputation. I hear you though.

My understanding is that if you only add modules on top, those can stay closed source. It’s possible the AOSP portion of the stack is still stock and untouched.
- Comment on Deliver Us Mars Developer Keoken Interactive Lays Off Nearly Entire Staff 1 week ago:
I really enjoyed Deliver Us The Moon, but I haven’t bothered with Mars because the general consensus is that it’s not quite as good. I got Mars free from Epic, but I have other games that I’m more excited to play first.
I’m disappointed that the studio didn’t do better from these games because I was genuinely impressed with Deliver Us The Moon, simply because it was different and good.

No joke, a cybertruck passed me on the road during my drive home today, and it’s even stupider looking in person than in pictures and videos. I laughed out loud at the genius who paid actual money for it.

It ran the OG Game Boy too
- Comment on Zelda. The minish cap 3 weeks ago:
I’ve played it. Since the basic game design is unchanged, I still don’t love it.
- Comment on Zelda. The minish cap 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s interesting that Capcom developed that one for Nintendo. They certainly did a great job!
I like, but don’t love, Link’s Awakening. I get that they had the limitations of the Game Boy to work around, so the idea that the map is confounding to navigate - just like a dream can be - was a creative choice that fit well. It just doesn’t resonate with me.
The GBA was definitely a better platform for a Zelda game than the OG Game Boy.

It wasn’t for me, but I don’t think anything else on the album was at all memorable.
- Comment on lol just be up front lol 5 weeks ago:
The problem with being up front is that lots of people are fucking nuts and can’t handle rejection like adults. This can be a bad situation for women since they are often at a physical disadvantage vs. men, so I don’t blame them for protecting themselves.
Funny picture though.

Looking your direction, Fastball! The Way was a decent song, but the rest of the album was terrible!
- Comment on Passively regulating fermentation temperature 1 month ago:
Belgian yeast likes to get a bit hot, by the way (and tastes best when fermented on the warmer side of the yeast’s preferred range). That might be a decent choice for a test batch once you get an insulated space setup.
I can respect working with no power. I did that for a while too. Everything I mention is pretty power efficient though.
- Comment on Passively regulating fermentation temperature 1 month ago:
If you want no electronics in the mix at all, insulation is about your only option. Since fermentation is an exothermic process, you’ll also want to make sure you can keep it from getting too hot. Your beer will taste a lot worse from the yeast getting too hot than it will from the yeast being too cool.
You can buy inexpensive temperature controllers, and if you can do simple wiring, it’s not too hard to add a power outlet (and an enclosure). From there a fountain pump some tubing, a cooler and either a heat source or a cold source can serve as a simple way to regulate your fermentor’s temperature.
The heat source could be something like an aquarium heater or a sous vide heater and will sit in the cooler (always on, not run to the temperature controller). You’ll tape the temperature controller’s sensor against the outer wall of your fermentor (with some insulation taped over it. A paper towel folded a few times works fine), put the fountain pump in the bucket of water with the fermentor, and run the tubing into the cooler. The output of the tubing should be run back into the bucket.
When the fermentor gets too cool, the temperature controller will kick the fountain pump on which will take the water from the bucket and run it through the hot water in the cooler and back into the bucket. This will slowly raise the temperature inside the fermentor - and slow is what you want with yeast.
You can replace the heater with ice or frozen water bottles if you need it to cool your beer in the warmer months.
I did this for a while before moving to using a chest freezer regulated by the same temperature controllers.
- Comment on So which budget printer to buy? 1 month ago:
If you value your time more than you like to tinker with your printer, then the cost makes sense.
If you like to do more maintenance and prefer to save the money up front, then the budget printers make sense.

20% should be perfectly fine. I can’t get mine less than that without extreme effort, and it doesn’t performance better at that percentage anyway.

Troubleshooting my Ex’s PC for 2 hours only to realise I didn’t install the standoffs is an experience I can’t get on console.
Hey, have some faith in yourself! I’m sure you can fuck up your console hardware just as well as your ex’s PC!
- Comment on Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’ 2 months ago:
But your original question was not if they will play on Steam Deck, but why someone would choose to buy those games on PlayStation instead of PC. Aside from the original reasons I laid out, higher resolution is another good reason why.
As an example of when games ported to PC are not as great as PlayStation games, here’s an excerpt from an article about The Last of Us Part I:
Even Naughty Dog itself had severe issues getting the game to run at 60fps, which required maximizing the CPU and GPU with a triple buffered rendering pipeline, and suffice it to say that porting to PC is an even greater challenge than that PS4 port.
Many of the problems at launch would cause crashes – often. I counted 12 separate crashes from starting the game until meeting Ellie, and this was on an AMD GPU which, unsurprisingly, this game favors. Nvidia players had it worse, or at least based on my testing with an RTX 2070. The main cause stems from memory limitations as you exceed the VRAM requirements, which then bleeds out into the shared graphics memory within your system RAM, causing hard page faults, reduced performance, and increased CPU demands alongside other memory related issues.
- Comment on Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’ 2 months ago:
I never said I was. The PS5 runs at that resolution. The question was asked why would anyone buy a PlayStation if the games find their way to PC. I gave reasons why someone might want to buy a game on PlayStation anyway. Higher resolution than the Steam Deck is capable of (handheld or docked) and ray tracing are good reasons why.

Not at 4K they don’t
- Comment on Sony misses PS5 sales target as console enters ‘latter stage of its life cycle’ 2 months ago:
The games don’t usually come out on PC until a significant amount of time has passed since the console release. Not everyone wants to wait, and often those games are poorly optimized on PC.
I stopped buying games on PlayStation since I got my Steam Deck, but there are occasionally exclusives that will entice me back.
