Excitebike, too! The built-in level editor was really amazing.

Protests against HB4664 in the streets and the highways, gotcha

Thanks! I knew there was a term, but just couldn’t conjure it.

Oh, so Hertz has gotten wise to… every online platform that exists: Outsourcing all responsibility for their user-hostile bullshit to some vague “system” that cannot be held accountable.

I’m so sorry but the advertised cost has doubled because… Computer says so! No, sir, there’s nothing I can do, sir, you see it’s the system.

And you can’t go anywhere else, because everyone else is doing it (or soon will be) too!

Of course not, the rules are for thee.

Trumponomics makes all this tricky math and policy shit so easy to understand!

He’s got an extensive history of lying about (among so many things) what so-and-so told him in a private meeting, only to be called out and contradicted by that very person the following day.

Throw another one on the pile, most likely.

I used to be against it, then my PC died in the early COVID days and the only (practical) way I could get a future-proofed replacement was to get a pre-built, and they all had RGB.

From there, though, it grew on me. Like so many other things I enjoy about working with computers, the learning process was just super enjoyable for me.

I read about different standards (RGB vs aRGB, 3 pins vs 4 pins, this module or that one, this software vs that), tried a few things, and got it looking like I wanted. Now I’m using OpenRGB to make my own patterns that match the room or the weather or whatever wallpaper I’ve got. Turning understanding into control and self-expression just feels good man.

I thought the picture surely had to be CG or AI created at first.

Same… This photo is so surreal, I immediately thought of Simon Stalenhag.

I got my dad an Anker Bluetooth speaker a year or so ago that was subject to a recall due to the rechargeable battery inside presenting a fire hazard.

Fortunately, by way of the serial number, his was not one of the effected units, but I had the same question you did when I saw this article.

Will it be yet another Borderlands game that I don’t buy until the GOTY edition goes on sale for less than $20? “It might be.”

Now, to any person who has ever seen an AI image or indeed seen anything in the real world, you’d think it would be obvious that these are fake images. … And yet, other each of this images there are hundreds, sometimes thousands of positive comments. …

So braindead and stereotypical are these comments that you might think they are themselves AI generated. But, picking a few at random, I checked out their profiles and they seem genuine. … They did also all seem to be active churchgoers but that must be some kind of coincidence…

Shots fired.

I’m playing two different saves in Skyrim right now, and I still thought it was The Long Dark when I saw the thumbnail. Seriously underappreciated title!

App Update: Fitness tracker permissions can now tell when you are sleeping, so the app only plays ads when you are awake and actively looking at your device.

Coming Soon: A subscription model where you pay $10 a month for the ability to use your $450 battery swapper.

Return to Moria for me. I picked it up for free from Epic recently and it’s all I’ve played since. Going solo and I just made it to the Pilgrim Road waypoint.

They really nailed the Lego game formula on that one. Truly a love letter to Peter Jackson’s films and with all the silly Lego game humor. I finally 100%'d it last year, then went right onto Lego The Hobbit (almost as good!).

Everytime a new Borderlands game comes out (just the major ones), I’ve replayed the original before getting into the new one. All the sequels have at least one interesting variation on the formula, but none have matched the atmosphere and pacing of the original for me.

Big overlap with the “I liked Rage Against The Machine, until they started getting political” crowd.

Only one of my three computers was having this problem, but this solution worked for me as well. Thanks for sharing it here!
