One area that I’m glad to have my console is for games that I expect the publisher to include anti-consumer bs but I still want to play. I dont gaf if they install a kernel mode anti-cheat on my ps5, but I’ll never install that on my PC.

That said, I don’t spend much time doing that anyways and don’t have any plans to get another console in the future. And in case nintendo is listening, the switch 2 would have been an exception to that if you weren’t so lawsuit happy.

Ah, so the technological singularity is here but it’s in the opposite direction from what was expected as the technology takes over its own enshitification in an ever-accelerating manner.

I gotta wonder where do we go from here?

Look for the corner that goes on the top part of the matress and use that as the corner and treat the extra bit with the elastic like frilly trim to ignore. It’s not perfect but I’ve been able to consistently get something that resembles a rectangle out of it instead of a ball.

Do those open easily with tools or am I recalling correctly that they used rivets to fasten them shut?

Most problem those give tend to be turn it on and it says, “hey I’m not so sure you put a game in me, would love to play one for you, though!” Or “I think this might be a game or it might just be a weird blue pattern because the connection is there but only partially”.

At least the NES was like that. You had to know the ritual to put the cartridge in correctly and that ritual changed. I don’t ever remember having a ritual with my N64.

Final panel: Earth explodes

Nah, too late, they blew the bridges and tunnels in before he finished saying “Switzerland”.

I wouldn’t say “obviously” because I wouldn’t put it past the GOP to just have some refuse to vote along just to blame their opponents for the fallout, especially when they wanted that fallout in the first place.

Just for clarity, if every single R votes yes and every D voted no, would the budget pass? Of does it require a larger majority that the GOP doesn’t have?

Would be funny if that failed star was actually an alien megaproject but we think it’s a natural explanation that means a planet teeming with ancient life is assumed to be barren like the rest of them.

Is there a name for that, when something very interesting is mistaken for something very uninteresting? Not that a failed star full of biosignature molecules sounds uninteresting, do they have any explanation for that?

I think it was mainly a design decision about wanting the game to get harder as you progressed instead of easier. Which I have mixed feelings about because divide and conquer where it starts hard but gets eaaier as you clean up can be very satisfying, but factory games can scale in ways that would make it more trivially boring.

Don’t the trees already help by absorbing some amount of pollution? If tree is gone, it stops absorbing, thus pollution rises.

Oh, the possibility that he knew about Colbert but ate the onion hadn’t occurred to me.

We can’t even prove that when we go to sleep and wake up the next day that it’s the same entity going about our day instead of a new one that inherited all of the memories and everything else encoded in the brain.

Did he (and whatever agents were involved in setting that up) really not know who Colbert was 10 years ago? Though it is hard to tell with the energy he had there, whether he was just playing along or genuinely didn’t know that Colbert’s whole thing is playing an ignorant conservative white dude.

If you didn’t intend to imply that, it’s on how you communicated, not how they interpreted it. The way you listed what each does implied you were saying that’s how their images worked.

You can glance at the sun but don’t stare at it. Even when it’s only 1% visible, it’s putting out enough light to strain or damage your eyes.

Though it’s fine to look at the eclipse with naked eyes when it’s total. You can’t really see the cool effect surrounding the moon during totality with the eclipse glasses on because it’s way dimmer than the sun usually is.

Your eyes will tell you if it’s safe to look. If it’s uncomfortably bright, then you shouldn’t power through that discomfort (and that applies to things other than the sun). If it feels like looking at anything else, then it’s probably fine.

Well, with that Atlantic current dying down, Europe might not have to worry about things getting warmer for much longer. Scandinavia especially might get quite a bit colder, like comparable to northern Canada.

And who else didn’t need an article because they were there when it happened?

Oh nice, infinite pixel version.
