Never let him live that down. any time you mention Spez, mention that.

What, they took issue with “Good tea. Nice house.”?

I don’t love Reddit as a whole, plus they broke the apps I was using. I was already thinking about the Fediverse (Mastodon specifically), and then I found out about kbin. Checked it out, stuck with it, moved to Mbin when kbin.social died.

Why would they rise up to stop what they voted for?

Dorn said it at the Wall: They are coming. Kill them all.

I’ll drop my favorite drinking song:

Qntal - Indiscrete

And yes, I know full well I’m a nerd.

Why doesn’t she buy men’s pants with the correct measurements for her needs? Unlike the arbitrary garbage system for women, us guys just have inch measurements of the important stuff.

The challenge is that there are “Patriots” out there. There are three Americas, realistically: The South & Midwest, The North & Coasts, and the minority experience. One of those is “patriotic”, with the idea that the other two need to be killed.

I agree, with one small caveat: Capcom actually made the Mega Man Battle Network games better through their collection - and while I’m sure those QoL features could have been implemented in ROMhacks (and I’m happy with emulation), I don’t begrudge anyone who has it. I’ve also bought the Mega Man & Zero collection carts for 3DS, because I wanted to play them specifically on that device.

Konami, shockingly, also did right by fans with the Yugioh Early Days collection, since they brought over a game that wasn’t translated (and the fan translation isn’t perfect) in Capsule Monsters, and I’m pretty sure there’s other improvements as well. Again I’m satisfied with emulation on those games, but I can’t bring myself to despise people who have bought the collection.

But that’s two or three examples against however many.

But I want to know how far back your outlook on this goes: Super Mario All-Stars (+ Super Mario World) is notable for bringing all 4 NES Mario games to SNES. It’s arguably a remaster collection. Should people have been as enthusiastic about it at the time? Or how about the first of these from Konami - Ninja Gaiden Trilogy?

Where does the line get drawn?

Well, I had been kind of a hoarder before that, admittedly, so I was less impacted at the beginning of the pandemic. But yes, everything fresh was delivered by my local grocery store, Walmart, or other services.

No, this should the opening of Falling Down.

As others have said, Hacker News.

I mean, people who don’t want their questions or answers included in an LLM won’t use SO. When people want to ask a question and not be shut down or berated, they’ll probably end up on HN.

That’s what started the modern era of microtransactions - limited energy systems that don’t replenish quickly, and games without always-accessible gameplay.

Adult life is a rollercoaster of shutting down and burning out.

Some of us stayed inside for literal years thanks to the way things went in the world. And you wonder why things turned sideways in the world.

Windu dabbled too much in the Dark Side to take on a padawan safely by the time he’d moved to working on developing Form VII, which required use of the Dark Side as a weapon. Same with Yoda, who used Force Lightning.

I’d suggest instead that Obi-Wan be handed to Ki Adi Mundi, and Anakin (if he’s trained at all), be handed off to Kit Fisto.

I’m still looking forward to a new browser engine, separate from Chrome and Gecko. The politics can be debated later, but we need something to break the Google stranglehold. Let’s just be real about this, KHTML, Dillo, Links, and Goanna aren’t doing it. Opera & Vivaldi aren’t going to resurrect Presto.

So what then, other than Ladybird?

Bringing Jar Jar back should have had Qui-Gon removed from the order.

Well, I guess I’d have to use a fork of… oh, wait a second, I’ve already been alternating between Pale Moon, SeaMonkey, LibreWolf, and Firefox along with Tor and Links.

I just would be using less of Firefox and more of LibreWolf. And when Ladybird is ready, I’ll use that and dillo.
