Prejudice is never as clever as the people who find it confusing

My kid and I finished this game late last year and it’s his all time fav. We love this!

The frog then extends a poisonous tail and strikes! The tiger screams in pain and confusion, “Why? How?!” And as they both drown the frog laughs and says, “This is so meta.”

You just got done telling me they are reporting as fact something that is likely not so, and now you are scoffing at me for not having wasted my time. If there is any reason for this article to still be published or even discussed, it has eluded me.

Oh, so it’s just ragebait and they’re reporting on nothing? I fell for it.

It’s so stupid. I have literally plugged GC controllers into my Switch with an adapter hub, and they worked with non-GC games. This is deliberately worse.

Sorry for that, it gets hard sometimes when I start accidentally living the examined life for a second

It’s Watchguard. Though looking at their site, it seems like there might be support that I wasn’t able to find last time I looked into this. Definitely want to dual boot at some point. I’ve got a Surface Book 3 though, and I know it needs special kernel stuff to get working properly, so I’d almost rather just wait until my boss retires and everyone’s out of a job to dive into Linux. Easier than finding spare time in my life. Living the dream

I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I’m just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.

Likely, but it’s pretty minimal effort for a chance at saving the effort they were considering to fix it.

You might just get some paint thinner and try to use a swab to get the paint off the optical sensor

I have nothing to take away from that, I have one that’s six and this is basically my approach so far.

One thing I’ve learned to do is to demonstrate what to do when I don’t know something. If I don’t know a certain fact, I’ll go to Wikipedia on the spot and see if it’s there.

I’m also not perfect, but I’m a big fan of it and I support it with donations so yeah. Least I can do is provide an example that doesn’t involve an AI overview.

This one is slightly less on target, but I’m really intrigued by a free demo I found this week called Exo Rally Championship. It’s a rally car game, but set in exotic little exoplanetary environments. The movement looks really interesting especially because you’re not just in a low-grav setting, you also have 360⁰ jets you can use to assist in steering or course-correction midair.

I’ve got a dumb opinion about this: They’re just old fashioneds for people who don’t understand aspect ratios applied to frosting per bite.

If this is going to be what Switch 2 offers, I’m fully out

Edit: I checked with a friend. Normal game cartridges are still a thing. One thing that makes them slightly better than digital downloads (albeit still imperfect) is that you can at least trade, sell, and buy them used. Not as good as physical media, but slightly better ownership rights than buying a digital copy.

Somehow even as a kid in America I always had a preference for the OED at my library. It just exuded this sense of supreme rightness to me.

Never occurred to me that normal grade school kids don’t all have a favourite dictionary. Ah well.

Don’t blame Boromir for your dry dick, for shame

I didn’t find out about mini discs until years later. Best I knew was the lost technology of CD-RW

I remember the moment I realised my fancy new Walkman could read data CD-Rs and I could fit all my mp3s into one 700mb disc. I felt insane, majestic, limitless.

Hard to come up with non-joke suggestions without knowing the locale. Seattle? Un Bien. Las Vegas? The Double Down Saloon. San Francisco? Smitten. Portland? Powell’s books.

Generally? Grab a pebbled ice machine and turn the lights off on your way out.
