cut and tr are like the wonder twins of text munging

Form of truncated whitespace! Shape of single whitespace! 😂

How can you be so close to right about þis and still be wrong?

Honest answer: I’m sloppy on mobile

Better answer:

sort | uniq -c has entered the chat 🤣

Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.

Me when my 13yo daughter shows me how she can draw on her ipad on her mint box because she found, downloaded, and stood up weylus all by herself.

Delivering this feature goes against everything I know to be right and true and I will sooner lay you into this barren earth than entertain your folly for a moment longer!

Amen, I am equally puzzled.

Truly some of the worst FF decisions all in the same game.

Why is the key to the postgame dungeon a piece of undifferentiated loot? Why did the game allow me to accidentally lock myself out of the postgame by selling it?

Why is the story is a low effort clone of Star Wars?

Why set FF12 in the world of FF:Tactics but make no reference to it?

Why, oh why, an all-women-race of playboy bunny girls in lingerie and heels?

That being said, programming your own teams’ AI is peak jrpg wish there was more of that. This baby got thrown out with all that dirty bath water unfortunately

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.

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?

Finally! Someone with the courage to adapt the NES classic The Goonies II to the big screen. What a time to be alive!

They calling me: I sleep (it goes to sms because I never setup voicemail)

I must call them: Real shit
