Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

Misogynistic post-apocalyptic Holden Caulfield

Lol that’s a new one for me. It’s funny because it’s true 🤣

I haven’t read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there’s so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I’m reading the exact same words, but this time they’re hitting way harder.

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he’s protecting me from mummy’s curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it’s just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can’t wait for code review lol.

Yeah really fun premise slathered in boring characters.

If I recall it devolved into some CW-flavor bullshit revolving around the girl, who is her real father, why is she special. Blah blah blah.

RIP Escapist Magazine

I want to believe in the age of enshittificiation that The Martian Chronicles will take on a new life.

It’s so bleak how it ends with highways and diners everywhere.

Your 4 year goal reminds me a lot of Cogmind’s development and the video about the journey

Best of luck

They can be archived without being playable

You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.

Imagine an archive for unreadable books, unwatchable films, and unplayable games too!

Yes a surprisingly fun and satisfying adventure. It really made me wish there was a video game in The Congregation setting.

I am mildly annoyed when an action scene essentially pauses so the heroes can have a small dialog scene.

I always find myself wondering: isn’t that bad guy, hull breach, detonation timer etc still there?

The schadenfreude here is delicious, alas the perils of being such a vehemently player-hostile game publisher 😂

Ahh, thanks for the clarification

Wow, feels so spiteful. It’s them not you.

To be charitable to the other side, perhaps this mod is so burned out on “just asking questions” that a sincere question has become hard to recognize 🤷‍♀️

Imagine you could sell $39.99 shovelware to almost every single kid that watches Jimmy Neutron, because you’re gonna drown that show in ads for it.

The child then grinds down the parents’ resolve and the money is eventually spent.

I totally didn’t witness this first hand when sculpting feces into nickelodeon-shaped games.

They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩

But you can’t even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮

I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I’m not cosigning on that bullshit 😤

Nothing augurs success like hearing about the “incredible talent” that just went to “other teams at EA” 🙃

The original ending was a very “that’s it?” moment.

The actually added a new game-over condition, by allowing you to just shoot the annoying reaper child, to quell the frustrations people felt.

Even in the remaster is still feels like a choice between red, blue, or green color endings.

RIP Marauder Shields, the true final boss of ME3 🙏

That, to me, is the real tragedy of Mass Effect, looking back through this new lens. BioWare seems to have borrowed many concepts from Revelation Space, but very little of it is explored with any depth, and none of the ideas are given new twists that improve upon them.

Damn, didn’t expect a thoughtful analysis of Revelation Space and its impact on Mass Effect.

But since Mass Effect avoided most of the extra weird stuff, the ending of Mass Effect 3 never really had a chance to be good.

Ahh, can’t talk about ME without addressing the elephant in the room the controversial ending.

Good read 👍
