Yep, stuck at the airport currently. All flights grounded. All major grocery store chains and banks also impacted. Bad day to be a crowdstrike employee!

There is a fix people have found which requires manual booting into safe mode and removal of a file causing the BSODs. No clue if/how they are going to implement a fix remotely when the affected machines can't even boot.

Workaround Steps:

  1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

  2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

  3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

  4. Boot the host normally.

I exclusively use phones with a 3.5mm jack. Currently on a Sony Xperia 1 IV. That said, I also use bluetooth IEMs sometimes and I like having the option of switching between wired/wireless when convenient.

Believe it or not, also the sun!

The thing for me wasn't so much the game choice but the placement. It feels like they took a big bag of 100 of the best games and randomly picked them out one at a time. If you start to ask is Y really better than X on this list then it starts to make less and less sense.

100% agree with you. Loved the first half and was really let down by the 2nd.

The only other show that's given me similar vibes to the 1st half of Frieren was Violet Evergarden. Not so much for the content but in the melancholic, beautiful-yet-bittersweet vibes the whole show gives off.

I think that show greatly benefitted from the limited runtime though and would have suffered if they'd tried to push it out to Frieren length.

I've had more than one person I work with take screenshots of their desktop, paste them into a word document, then attach the word document to an email to get me to help them with their problem. This has the same energy.

I was also in this position, there is so much gaming content out there but the whole state of journalism seems to have really fallen off.

Last year I discovered MinnMax though and some of my faith has been restored. They are a community funded group of journalists and enthusiasts who run a weekly ~3 hour podcast about games and the industry. They are mature, lucid, insightful, and also pretty funny. They've also been doing a yearly best-of list for a long time which is a good jumping off point if you want to dip your toe in. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in gaming and the industry.

The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell comes to mind. A Jesuit priest is the only survivor of a first-contact flight to an alien world and returns horribly disfigured in mind and body and refuses to talk about what happened. We slowly learn what happened to everyone as the story unfolds. Great SF novel and not religious, although it explores religion.

One of my favourite black metal albums is Rain Upon the Impure by The Ruins of Beverast. Nothing he's done before or since comes even close to the perfection of that album.

Would make a sick climbing gym

We've been using QGIS at my company for almost 8 years at this point and I really love it. The python integration and deep plugin repository render it head and shoulders above ESRI. Although I admit for enterprise solutions many will still require the turn-key solutions esri offer.

Some really weird picks here. A few standout bad takes:

  • Diablo 4
  • Football Manager
  • AC Odyssey
  • Mario Kart 8

Shoutout for mentioning Brick. Modern noir masterpiece I never see mentioned online. Great, eclectic list overall!

I get this reference

Hell yeah! Ritual by him is also wonderful.

I completely agree, and in general working with email programmatically sucks. MIME is a mimefield.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

Smart Audiobook Player +1 such a good, feature complete app.

A few I don't see getting mentioned much:

  • 3-Iron
  • The Seventh Continent
  • Hausu
  • The Lives of Others
  • Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
  • Spoorloos

TLJ is in my top 3 stories in all of gaming but the puzzles/gameplay are pretty terrible. I'd still highly recommend grabbing it for a few bucks on GOG and playing it with a walkthrough - the story is absolutely worth it.

I liked dreamfall as well but the story wasn't as impactful to me. I actually backed chapters on kickstarter but never finished it. How are you enjoying it so far?

His name Is Tony Abbott for anyone out of the loop.

This one is good but Hungry Cat Nonograms is the best mobile picross game imo. Thousands of puzzles, amazing controls, beautiful art. It has ads which can be removed with a single in-app purchase. Been playing for almost 8 years and they're still releasing weekly content.

Really? I'm super curious what made you feel this way. I have to say I was pretty underwhelmed by it compared to Flanagan's other series'.

I agree. I wish I didn't love so many of Polanski's movies...

I think there is a stark distinction between "really fun" and "one of the best games ever". This list contains almost nothing which pushed against the barriers of gaming either now or in the past.

I also do this and am also ostracized and condemned by passengers for my behavior. Worth it.

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I've come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven't seen The Best of Youth but I'll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

You've got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn't your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

Thanks for this. I was going to comment that corruption charges in India must either be punitive or politically motivated because it's literally everywhere. I don't think India in its current state would function without corruption.

Violin plots are bad and you should feel bad. Summary of why: Link
