I don’t know if it applies here, but sometimes I get the impression people buy games in order to not recommend them, which is some insane behavior. You’ll see low hours at review time and then months later they haven’t even refunded within the allowable window.

Surely some or most people figure it out (AI slop textures in this case) too late, but it’s not all the negative reviews. Especially because this was known about ahead of time and Aspyr is infamously shit.

I wish they sold egg nog in shot glass quantities. I only ever want about that amount.

Don’t really get sick of anything recently. I keep the variety up with food. When I was young I would eat the same breakfast every morning to the point I never ate toaster waffles ever again to this day, and breakfast sausage eventually caused a nausea response just by smelling it. Up to a decade after I last ate a link at the time. I can now, but it’s unhealthy so that’s not very often. School was a long time ago for me.

That and hair styles, kinda sus.

Folding@Home for protein folding simulations to cure diseases. Probably newer examples, so I’ll say medical research and simulation, vaguely.

I’ve admittedly accelerated my competence in daily driving Linux by using LLM like a search engine. I’m struggling to come up with much else that’s positive. Even that’s kinda neutral. It’s only true because search engines got worse for a myriad of reasons.

Yes, but to a lesser extent now that everyone is focused on the young kids since I’m in my 30’s. I still enjoy reunions, but I won’t go camping if there’s gonna be a group of five year olds there for example.

I don’t tell them this, just you guys :p

Yep. I don’t dream of work.

Good news, everyone!

I’m a big fan of zeolite cat litter and the litter box system with absorption pee pads beneath. I’ve tried all the things over the years. I hate clay especially.

Despite the initially high upfront cost to get started, I think it’s cheaper long term. Even more so because I recycle the zeolite pellets by rinsing them in a big bin instead of throwing them out and buying more. I dry them out then stir in baking soda. It’s a porous mineral formed into pellets, doesn’t break down just gets dirty over time. You lose some over time of course, lodged in turds and kicked out, fodder for the vacuum, but it’s so cheap and way cleaner. The two cats aren’t tracking that heavy pellet all over the house like clumping clay or urine soaked wood pellets that disintegrate into pee mulch. Ew.

The pee pads aren’t very green of me so maybe next step is figuring out an alternative absorption medium to put in the tray beneath the pellets.

So I’m not recommending any brands because they’d all hate me for not being wasteful and fully replacing pellets every month like their bags instruct. Zeolite is zeolite, buy the cheapest per KG that day. I’d just say avoid Purina/Tidy Cats brand when possible. They over charge, especially for pee pads.

I’ve been watching Star Trek DS9 for the first time. Half way into Season 5.

Elementary school computer lab, probably Ask Jeeves with the assignment being learning how to use a search engine.

Memorable? Neopets.

At home? I was downloading a Monster Truck Madness demo over 56k. Took 8 hours.

It smells like cologne mixed with farts and peppermint, a scent called BEAR FISTER so you don’t feel insecure in your masculinity while swallowing.

We’ll infect their brain over time 👿 become as FOSS.

Scaled is nice on the Subscribed feed too, you’ll miss less stuff on the smaller communties you’re interested in.

2003 at the latest on the family computer. No exact memory, but I got my own personal computer in 2004.

Probably I played Lemmings, I always returned to that game as a kid.

My 12th gen Corei5 isn’t really up to the task but I can get in-game on these early experimental builds. Radeon cards crash in Hyrule Field currently so I can’t go too far on a Radeon 9070XT just yet. Not that I’d want to, the lighting is fried and it’s running half speed. Cutscene videos like the title screen and intro cutscene have audio desync, in-game audio is fine/syncs. That said, pretty minor issues for Day 1.

Honestly I’d bet a vibe slopped recompilation project gets the game playable before these slopulators do. There are already the beginnings of such if you look.

I used Lichii but there’s also Eglantine Selevet. Both are Eden emulator forks. ~~ I noticed neither needed me to install firmware or keys so DMCA in 3…2…1.~~

I’ve since learned these don’t use keys or decrypt anything. That’s what took Yuzu down. Nintendo has no leg to stand on here again.

Tomorrow I expect corruption reports to begin and continue all month. This post breaks rule 6 tho.

You’ll usually find the no fap people on 4chan /fit/ and reddit where conservative Catholics who are ashamed of their own natural bodies participate in this weird puritan incel practice. You’re not accomplishing anything healthy by doing it OP.

Common (anime) convention experience I’m sure. When I was 15 years younger, they hosted an anime convention at a local college and attendees would rent the dorm rooms during the summer. After official events for the evening ended, the DJ kept going in a dorm study room. Every stereotype occurred. Rank B.O. in a room too small and not ventilated for the amount of people in it at 2AM with underage girls trying to get picked up by any guy willing to cross that line. Fucking gross 🤢.
