Idk how to interpret this when I read it while laying on my right side. What’s on my left… the sun?

A steam deck lite would probably dominate, lol

At this point I want Switch 2 to flop so hard they go the way of the Sega and start licensing their IPs on other platforms, giving up on consoles. A shame, too, since their tech is little kid hand friendly and the PC market doesn’t seem keen on tiny screen handhelds.

Or hungrier kids (aka poorer kids) get the marshmallow first. Or those in greater need of serotonin (at least I think it’s serotonin) you get from sugar, etc. There’s a variety of issues here, but that’s true of most “experiments” that aren’t actually randomized controlled trial experiments.

No, it makes very very little difference, I graduated late by about two years and took a gap year after that, too (most people getting PhDs take a gap). People getting into the workforce immediately usually don’t have a huge advantage, either, although they go get a little more pay since they work slightly longer in their lifetime.

What’s generally more important is how you position yourself after graduation. Internships if business, lab if grad school, etc. It’s very easy to shoot ahead or fall very behind, though, as life after graduation is pretty much a matter of luck.

Always have been, as I’ve seen during my UCLA days of people buying exam answers from previous weekends and paying for papers, etc… I’m glad I never bothered, mostly because of dignity but what because I was poor (although those correlate). Rich people have plenty of ways to game the system, though.

I find it funny Microsoft gave me a survey on my work PC asking about how I’m enjoying its products (I laughed in Linux, “how do you like windows customizablity” let me go off about KDE lol)

But back to the subject. Literally everything they work on seems to turn to shit — I wonder what kind of survey feedback are they usually getting? “Oh, Skypes cool but I really like Teams”

Funny how, despite corporate trying it’s hardest to kill it, we’ve only managed to get better, more organized and safer with file sharing (and perhaps because of them, in many ways).

Reminds me that Nintendo had help lines you could call for stuff like Zelda secrets, and they may have intentionally added things like secret caves to incentivize that lucrative service.

Well, we do know C’thulhu outranks Yahweh so that’s probably him. Jolly guy in the left looks like a post-ascension Buddha (judging by those ears).

Fellow on the right eludes me, though. Reminds me of God in Futurama whom Bender meets, but that could be based on even something else from sci-fi I’m spacing out on.

To be fair, Tiramisu should be America’s favorite dessert.

You want the absolute “guide damn it” example? Try playing the OG Dragon Quest games. They’re nonlinear by nature and there’s a spot in 2 (or was it 3) where you need to literally check an unmarked floor for an item. No indicator, save maybe a vague NPC dialogue in another part of the planet that didn’t get adequately translated in English so you’re truly aimless.

This is the main reason in OG sci-fi RPG games with cloning as the “resurrection”, I try to ironman my way through without any deaths.

You aren’t my real Rolf, Rolf. The real Rolf died 5 minutes into the game while I was grinding levels.

A real government would look into ways to just give basic income to creatives (and anyone else) so even if they didn’t have to slave away illustrating for corps, they could focus efforts on art. That’s how you operate in a post-scarcity world.

But nah. Capitalism.

Yup. Fussing around in Desktop mode (aka handheld Arch) got me into it. It was weirdly easy to get Phantasy Star Online Ephinea working with luteix, and that game was easily one of my favorite Deck experiences running on 3W of power lol.

Ugh. I hate this timeline.

My 8bitdo story, back when they’re we’re just starting to put joysticks on their SNES style controllers, I used mine to the point that the joysticks were falling apart. I sent them a support email, and even though it wasn’t covered by any warranty or anything, a very nice Chinese person working there sent me a spare set of joysticks in the mail, plus words of encouragement (in somewhat broken English) since I wasn’t shy about fixing the thing myself.

Can’t imagine that today, but it was a nice gesture and I’m glad they’re still making stuff today.

Sure this is fine but when I try “flash photography” I get arrested over indecent exposure.

I’ll have those people know, my exposure settings were fine.

I mean, or murder the ones who won’t have a tea party with me.

Lands on me, although I hated Leno as a kid (and still do, lol)

I still find it funny it thinks my 3 year old is interested in solar panels.

The more concerning one was a divorce lawyer for fathers. That shit wasn’t even on my account or my computer, it just assumed daytime watching of kids stuff means a guys going through a divorce, lol.
