My design was on the front page a few years ago...

It has gotten worse. The steady decline of decency in political discourse took a precipitous dive with Trump. Canada is always out of sync with the US political pendulum, PP is our inevitable swing and it's fucking depressing to watch ignorance and bigotry be celebrated so confidently.

You can't spell "Bible Study" without "Subtly Bi"

Even a lot of CG professional users are locked into NVIDIA due to software using CUDA. It sucks.

I mean, fuck Anish Kapoor, but why are you suggesting this as a gift?

I stayed at a place last year that had a RokuTV, YouTube was practically unusable on it due to the absurd number of ads that would play. Even more infuriating was that they were often the same ad, repeated.

Nicholas Gruewich is a genius

"It is chemically, mechanically and thermally robust and can be patterned and seamlessly connected to semimetallic epigraphene using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques."

Sounds promising.

Can someone explain the implications of the bandgap and room temperature mobility values for future chip designs?

I appreciated your tone, it was measured and considerate.

I have no respect for the DEA. It has been 6 months since my medication was genericized and 5 months since I've been able to get a refill for my medication. I have been treated like an addict. I have even accused of planning a robbery by one pharmacist, because I asked if he had my medication in stock. All I want to is to keep my job and pay my mortgage.

I've really enjoyed the YouTube Poops of Dennis "Penis" Prager created by VeryTallBart. They help lessen the psychological damage dealt by the existence of Dennis Prager.

I think this is fairly accurate, most people in the 2nd ring take the teachings related to humility to heart.

It has historically been a way of stealing Spotify royalties but targetting big artists is more d difficult these days. It's also a means of hijacking an artist's audience, if only temporarily. Sometimes also used to fraudulently get things into DMCA databases. Happens to smaller artists like Lemon Demon all the time.

Yeah, I like the idea of a rotation of charities.

Yeah, it really goes against my anecdotal experience of clueless Boomers/Gen Z and generally reasonable Gen X/Millenials. That said my colleagues are technically proficient but our salespeople are consistently falling for scams, regardless of their generation.

While I admire your optimism I think that AI will snuff out journalists/writers/artists regardless of the merit of their work. While that is possibly beneficial when looking for some factual data I think we will face a crisis when it comes to creative, investigative and critical content. Like garden hose of original work spraying against a tsunami of undisclosed generative media.

Yanko design is a name I haven't seen in quite some time. Some of the dumbest, impractical, and downright impossible concepts have been featured on this blog.

Two memorable examples were the "magnetic" exercise weight set that would have to violate physics in order to function and a refrigerator made of green goo that would somehow preserve food.

Oh and "hubless wheels" anything that rolls needs hubless wheels.

This post was way to broad and generalized to foster an actual discussion. Many assumptions are also made about interactive storytelling which bely OPs attitude towards an entire form of narrative media.

Partner is playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and I'm helping with inventory management and tutorial quests.

What a bummer. I know how good of a resource it can be for tracking down rare physical media but I haven't really followed the seller side of the site. Another great reminder of how prone to enshittification private websites that rely on user labour are.

This fucking killed me, love Mr. Terfry.

Yo, Buck 65 is still releasing music? Nice.

I'm pretty sure it does

You should try Halls of Torment for a Diablo-looking rogue-like. I adored it!

Saw him live this past year and he was great!

I've been playing Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Automation/Beam.ng mostly but I've been severely addicted to the free demo for Half Sword. It's the most brutal, jankiest medieval combat simulator I've ever played and it's as frustrating as it is fun. I can't stop playing it.

I showed this to my brother once and he said "This could become something you quickly unironically enjoy". He was right.

My current favourite half-life is Abiotic Factor, to be honest.

I think you make some valid points about server and network ownership but I think the mid to late 2000s had an interesting blend of corporate and personal internet spaces. Yes there were some leviathans MySpace and Facebook, but a lot of the places that had relevancy were forums, portals or imageboards. Hell, YTMND was an early example of a individual hosting and building a massive site out of complete nonsense. That landscape has certainly changed significantly since.

It raises an interesting question; if it were feasible to implent without massive privacy concerns, would you support income-proportional fee structure for government services? I'm imagining below a certain cutoff income-bracket, everything would be free.

Canadians celebrate Remembrance Day and I've always appreciated how much of it emphasizes solemn reflection on the horrors and loss associated with conflict.

Only slightly facetious: Cruelty Squad

OpenRCT2 is such a blast. Marcel Vos got me into it a few years ago.

If you liked vampire survivors and retro graphics you might want to check out Halls of Torment. It looks like old school Diablo but it's a vampire survivors like game.

Goddamnit.

Balatro, Nier: Automata, and Automation: Car Tycoon Game.

Just finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and need to get back into Baldur's Gate 3 to finish the last act.

I admire the determination of those standing up for their rights.

I really like that term, "Accountable Space". Thanks for introducing me!

No worries, appreciate you clarifying!

Mostly BG3 but also finished most of Cruelty Squad, the latter of which was a weird as I hoped.
