Stop making me sad. I have hundreds of hours poured into VPW2 customizations on a cart that hasn’t been powered up in 20 years at least. In my heart, that save is still alive.

_{Don’t take this from me dammit.}

You know what this feature is really useful for? Seeing who upvotes spammers to preemptively block them. Admittedly, I haven’t had much of a use for that aspect since kbin.social died, but it was neat while it lasted.

To be fair, his air accordion act, playing along to the circus music is his addled head, is fairly on point.

My only beef with this video was needing to pause it dozens of times to read the tons of text that flew by too fast. Otherwise, it’s what you expect from Frost: meticulously researched, eloquent, and passionate.

I knew nothing about Nick until the Escapist exodus. I just went with the narrative that it was a solidarity move, and I was thrilled to see SW take off. Frost leaving abruptly (to the public) confused the hell out of me. But that was point 1 addressed in the video. And then the deluge of receipts started.

Holy hell.

I hope the rest of the SW team kicks this turd to the curb. He’s been riding Yahtzee’s coattails long enough.

Big Toothbrush won’t stop until we all have a different brush for every surface.

I felt that way going from a 360 to XB1. More of the same, just shinier. I don’t think I’ve used my XB1 for anything except Rock Band in over a year. And the only reason I felt the urge to get a Series is that so RB loads in less than 10 minutes. (Well, that and Flight Simulator.)

Nintendo and indies are the only things keeping my interest in console gaming.

Or even the namesake lake.

Here’s to the Daffy in your life never running out of patience 🍻

I’d pick these up just for the novelty factor (as with the Japanese/EU SNES controller) if they were available in my region. Not interested enough to jump through hoops. I’ll just appreciate it from afar.

I think it was simply a failed idea. “Let’s have them work like Joycons.”

one product release cycle later

“Let’s not do that anymore.”

Stop, stop, I’m already dead old!

In today’s edition of lemmy: poetry.

No, you see, that’s not how it works. The battery needs to be filled to 100%, just like a gas tank. And you should only ever charge once you’re under 10-20%, just like a gas tank (it’s silly to top up every day, that’s just a waste of time). We must be able to exactly replicate the current paradigm for people to be able to adjust.

I drive about 150 miles a week and get gas every couple of weeks. It takes 5 minutes. If I have to go to a charger I’ll be there for hours. It’s absurd.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

I coasted through elementary school and ran up against undiagnosed autism, ADHD, and GAD (it was the 80s and I wasn’t disruptive) once homework started getting real. Had no problem learning the material, aced the tests, struggled with homework and writing assignments. “Not working up to his potential” became “lazy.” I took myself out of the gifted classes in middle school and bailed on “college prep” classes in my sophomore year. By the time I graduated I had failed English three times and wanted nothing to do with college and its endless papers I’d never write. Went to tech school for IT/electronics and did field service work for a bit before getting burned out and laid off. Landed in corporate IT and got real intimate with depression. 25 years later I’m still trying to recover from a lifetime of fighting uphill on hard mode against AuDHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the resulting burnout, keenly aware of my shortcomings the entire time while simultaneously fostering a deep seated contempt for the orphan crushing machines that define modern life.

My life would have been a whole lot easier if I had only been sociopathic.

By all means primary one of those democrats who voted for this out if you can

Big if, in some cases. My aye-affirming rep ran unopposed in this primary, and I can’t remember the last time there was a challenger. For my part I did a write in vote, but seeing as his big brother has a stranglehold on a LOT of business/politics/douchebaggery in the state, I don’t see this changing any time soon.

Most folks will probably freak out when they see a terminal window (“DOS box”) on a computer.

Many many moons ago I was working at a small mom and pop operation that used ancient PCs to run their registers. The entirety of the front end ran on a 3.5" floppy. One night after closing, I exited to the CLI and opened edit. I typed in “HELP, STEVE BROKE ME” and went to the back to count my drawer. The shift manager had a proper shit fit.

“What are you editing?!? If you break this machine the boss is going to have your head, it’ll cost thousands to have someone come out and fix it!”

I calmly exited back to CLI and ran the front end exe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
