Switching from my svelte, sexy Linux 2-in-1 with its incredible 120Hz OLED screen to my heavy, ugly, badly built, much slower Windows 11 work Dell with its terrible screen is like that time my car needed repair and as a courtesy car they gave me a fucking Jeep Patriot.

Now me personally, I might think that if I can drop the price of my entire library by removing a single game, I might have made a mistake putting all my efforts into a single basket.

I have apparently achieved such a network of informants that several people have made me aware of the young lady's existence, and as such I have dispatched word to request her hand, not in matrimony but in the forging of our houses.

Why, no scratch that, HOW is Windows Update so slow? I could genuinely install entire Linux operating systems in the time it takes my work laptop to install a few security updates.

You ever step back and start laughing at yourself? I'm cleaning up the kitchen and it just hit me that my cereal cupboard and my whisky cupboard are the same cupboard.

..................The fuck?

I often miss shit like this because I don't really read into the lives of the bands I listen to very much. I'm not really into celebrity.

That said, when did Sharon become a Nazi??

Is Cats Eye coming back into print? I've only got the first half :-( Missed out on Saint Tail, too.

When you're early in game dev and need your placeholder primitives to feel the part.

Mad Foxxi

My favourite developer - who likes to say terminology to appear knowledgeable while refusing to read manuals - has had Linux at home for two weeks.

Today he asked me if he's OK to "tinker with the server config."

Get....
And I cannot express this forcefully enough....
THE FUCK
OFF THE SERVER

"But what if he had said it while black?"

The past ten years.

Made one mistake in Minecraft so now I have to spend hours idling in front of a mob grinder because enchanting is the most bullshit system in pretty much any video game. But I did make an interesting discovery:

The optimal sword attack speed in Minecraft is the beat of Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath.

Get to the end of Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom, wonder which game boss fight it's going to reference, realise with horror that it's doing Meat Circus, lock the fuck in, beat it first time.

The US Army Chief of Staff gets pushed out of his role right before a ground invasion of Iran.

Let me guess: he refused to do something horrible, right?

When the ratrising occurs and this province becomes my domain, driver's licenses will require a mandatory tattoo of the keep-right law inside every driver's eyelids.

When you're enjoying a weird janky game and run headlong into one of the worst boss fights ever put in a game.

Hey, Yellow Taxi? I have indeed heard of Pac-Man, very good, but do you know why the original didn't have tall walls and a 3D perspective?

My girls have decided to mark their 11th birthday by having a massive screaming fight at 4 in the morning over.....not really sure TBH. First fight they've had like this since they were two.

*Sigh* Hope we're not going into a new era of this. No reason for it.

What the fuck is Europcar's deal? Sixt want $53 a day for rental and $26 a day for insurance, which is just the usual casual price gouging that every rental company does.

Europcar want $75 a day for a cheaper car and $126 a *day* for the insurance of that car. The fuck?

I think I broke it.

This is the level they're willing to bend and scrape at, rather than preventing large companies' tax dodging.

Fight through back pain to a sitting position because the furchild is squeaking at me from the other side of the bed, she immediately leaves. Lie back, she returns.

Well that was prophetic. Didn't take a year, though.

Every time this picture comes around it saddens me, because I know that tag arena and it was great.

How the fuck did Nvidia look at these DLSS 5 demos and think they were something you could show to the public?

Hey, have you heard of lighting? What if ALL THE LIGHTING?

Atmosphere isn't high-fidelity, bro. Shadows aren't high-res, bro. It's photorealistic, bro. That's all that matters!
