The learning cliff of the X games is pretty intense but totally worth it. I made it through and just look at me now! I, err… wasn’t going to do anything better with those hundreds of hours anyway.

Thank you for detailing this. I’m no fan of OSX or Apple the company but the quality of their laptop hardware is undeniable. They’re really good at it.

Yep.

Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. was a 1983 legal case heard by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Judge Robert W. Sweet. In their complaint, Universal Studios alleged that Nintendo’s video game Donkey Kong was a trademark infringement of King Kong, the plot and characters of which Universal claimed as their own. Nintendo argued that Universal had themselves proven that King Kong’s plot and characters were in the public domain in Universal City Studios, Inc. v. RKO General, Inc.

For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

I contracted the iRacing sickness this year. The online is indeed unmatched but I’d argue the single player racing is also best in class.

The iRacing AI is actually fun to race against and nothing else comes close to the level of customization per-racer. You can build whole custom rosters with individual behaviors. If you’re so inclined you can even share all this stuff through communities like Trading Paints and Race Department.

iRacing is a hole with no bottom. Both time-wise and monetarily. Even to do AI-only you’re still paying the subscription and one-time content prices. It really is the best though.

There’s also Night-Runners which is very much influenced by the TXR/Shutoko Battle games. It’s an in-development crowd funded game, so take from that what you will, but there’s a demo up on Steam as Night-Runners Prologue.

My first bike was a similar vintage GS500 that I similarly bought cheap and poured a lot of time and sweat into. I eventually upgraded to a new bike that actually worked the first time every time without me constantly tinkering. 😅 I loved that little Suzuki though and learned a ton on and inside it.

Sounds like a great time! Have fun and stay safe!

Second this. A friend and I just finished up a full co-op main game + DLC run and it was a blast!

The inhouse tooling from the massive tech companies is very cool but I always wonder how that impacts transferrable skills. I work in a much smaller shop but intentionally make tech decisions that will give our engineers a highly transferrable skill set. If someone wants to leave it should be easy to bring their knowledge to bear elsewhere.

Yikes.

This looks like grub2-mkconfig was run with the output mistakenly set to /etc/default/grub. Someone ran

grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/default/grub

Instead of

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

You write like a maniac. Like someone standing on a street corner, screaming about conspiracies at anyone unfortunate enough to pass by.

Nobody is going to pay attention when you’re blasting messages with all caps, minimal punctuation, and long strings of emoji. Most will simply ignore you and move on. Many will downvote on their way past.

As if the horse was tying off and shooting up in the stable outhouse.

This episode of BoJack just got real dark.

(and its ) are pretty good Zelda-like action adventure games. They’re not going to stand up to Link’s Awakening but still, I remember them fondly.

Gargoyle’s Quest has plenty of those weird old game difficulty spikes. Damned fine Game Boy game though. Good call!

Holy hell a little corner of my brain just lit up seeing “ASMIK World”. The cart is buried in boxes but I know what I’ll be emulating this weekend!

I like how that article has zero data, just a couple anecdotes from French people who don’t seem to like America.
