- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 week ago:
I discovered that Helldivers 1 ran fine on Linux despite having an anti-cheat, because when the anti-cheat failed to launch the game just says “fuck it” and runs anyway. Though other games like PUBG refuse to run when their anti-cheat fails.

Everyone will have a different experience based on their hardware, distro, and game preferences; But for me Linux has been a far less headache-inducing gaming platform than Windows literally for years at this point.
- Comment on Anon gets rid of drop box 1 week ago:
Ironically, from what I understand (haven’t done direct comparisons myself), a lot of games written for windows run just as well or better on linux.
Yes, Wine/Proton translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls, and Vulkan is so efficient that native Windows games sometimes run better on Linux than they do on Windows.

Only like the front inch of your tongue actually hits your palate. When I try it, I can breathe around the sides of my tongue.
- Comment on Have you ever noticed 2 weeks ago:
It’s supposed to. Some people have a short lingual frenulum (The ligament that connects your tongue to your jaw), preventing proper tongue positioning which can cause problems like sleep apnea, speech impediments, tooth decay, and even poor posture. Inability to put your tongue at the roof of your mouth is one of the indications of this. Can be corrected with a fairly simple noninvasive surgery (They just snip the ligament a bit to lengthen it).

Sounds like anon is way over-thinking all of this and just needs to learn to accept themself.

OK true, technically speaking it is indeed more readable, I guess I really meant that it takes far longer to read. I do admire Lua’s barebones simplicity.

Oh god yea, replicating switch functionality with a huge column of elifs is so gross.

To be fair my IRL best friend is one of you inverted Y monsters. Monsters are people, too.
- Comment on proportional reaction 3 weeks ago:
For real though I actually find them incredibly useful for creating clean and readable code. I wish Lua 5.1 had a ternary syntax.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 3 weeks ago:
Some people visualize their Y rotation “lever” as in front of the fulcrum of their neck, and some people visualize it as behind. Thus some people find an inverted Y axis to be intuitive, while others don’t. At least, this is how the reason for the preference has been explained to me.
I still think all you inverted Y axis people are monsters.

Though overused; medication that effectively combats eating disorders.
I’d argue underused / inappropriately prescribed by social class. There are millions who could benefit from them who have poor access, while if you have money the Rx just gets thrown readily at your feet.

I know you’re joking but “solid menstruation” can actually happen and it’s called a decidual cast and it’s some brutal metal shit.

Yeah they could probably stand to lose the more southern of the two ramp sets at Delta Park, feels very extra and overall unhelpful. Of course ODOT’s solution, beyond replacing the bridge, is to widen I-5 south of the bridge - Which anyone with a brain and 50 years of highway traffic studies can tell us would directly contribute to worsening the problem.

This driver is distinct from that driver. We definitely have those too, and they have my sympathies. But this driver is the one who just thinks to themself that it would be nice to go slow for a while, on a lark. Or they don’t think at all and in that brief 15 seconds of brain death their nerves stop sending signals to their foot to press the gas.

It’s usually a complex crowd effect created by many participants trying to maneuver among each other in slightly disperate ways.
In Portland OR, it really is because some dingbat slowed down to 20 MPH on the interstate for literally no fucking reason at all.

Actually for real, at least for the kind of aftermarket stuff I buy I usually do check CL first.

Ebay is a great place to be a buyer. Absolutely fucked place to be a seller. Be nice to your sellers folks, they don’t have it that great.

Back in the day on the very rare occasion that I had a 7 or G train car all to myself, I’d belt out the loudest operatic singing voice I could manage. There’s nowhere on Earth more isolated than an empty NYC subway car, gotta seize that opportunity.
