That’s good to hear, I think around 2005 was my last experience there. Hope they figure it out!

Veneer is fine to paint usually. Textured veneer looks tacky when painted.
We hide real wood too much in modern interior design; celebrate it because it might become very rare.

Why would you paint over wood? I’m assuming this place doesn’t have cheap veneer or something.
That’s like painting a hardwood floor.

lol db0 was running it on his own instance and when he updated to the version with the secret blocklist his entire feed was blank, because his instance (dbzer0) was on the blocklist
Dude made a “secret” blocklist that told on itself instantly
Not the sharpest lightbulb, is he? 🤣

Excuse me they’re called “sidings” 🤓
- Comment on Train Surrounded by Flames in Armstrong, Ontario 2 weeks ago:
That other train that passed had a clear track, and they were waiting their turn on a side rail to use the track the other train was coming the opposite way on. Many many places only have one set of rails, there ain’t two-way traffic everywhere. You probably don’t want two million-ton vehicles to smash into each other in the middle of a wildfire.

I thought he was being sarcastic when he was like “you guys got a light now or what?” until I realized he was radioing the other train about the signal 😅
- Comment on PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 reaches a new milestone: 75% of all PS3 games are now playable on PC 2 weeks ago:
I’d like to think the Steam Deck is a PC that is changing the rules as to what form factor a “personal computer” can take - of course with a heavy focus on gaming and so it takes a lot of design inspiration from what console gaming got right.
Console used to mean “specialized hardware to be able to push pixels needed for an incredible gaming experience” but now it means “locked down PC with walled garden ecosystem and advertising built in, including tracking”
I do have to give Sony credit for trying to improve audio in games with the PS5’s audio system - but has it worked? Have any games blown anyone away with their immersive sound design?
The only other “killer” feature of the PS5 was direct texture loading onto VRAM (bypassing CPU), and I think PCs can do that now with DirectStorage. So what is the point of a console anymore?
Sony knows this and they’re out of ideas. This is why they are locking down their ecosystem. I mean, it probably won’t work well for them, least not in the long term.

- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 3 weeks ago:
This is so much bigger than the secondary resale market, which is a small added bonus for them
The move from physical media; the price of computer components rising beyond reasonable levels; the locking down of hardware; the locking down of software distribution methods; the inevitability of de-anonymizing all Internet users…
The capitalist class has had enough of your criticism. We discovered their little criminal playground that preyed on children, we discovered how they hide their wealth without contributing back to society, we even discovered how government programs meant to “keep us safe” are used to exploit everyone on earth.
You think Sony ending physical discs is about video games? Brother it’s about the mind prison they’re designing to keep you in line while they fuck preteens on yachts until this whole planet burns to the ground
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 3 weeks ago:
Most discs still contain the full game, most physical releases contain discs of the full game
Some physical releases are just an empty case with a code. Some Nintendo Switch cartridges are just license dongles for the game download.
You’ve never owned a game. You’ve only ever licensed a game. This is true for all software. Removing the physical medium of distribution just allows the copyright cartel the control it has always wanted over something you paid for. But they have been hoodwinking consumers over what “purchase” and “buy” and “own” mean. Technically speaking, any game company could send you a C&D and tell you to stop playing their game forever, your license is revoked, and if you ever played it again they could sue for damages. Doubtful they would, as I doubt it would be worth their time; but this does mean they have the right to just decide their work is no longer available and vanish all digital copies; and they could also make all physical discs stop working through system software updates.

(This is not about anything in this thread that I’ve read specifically, just something I’ve experienced myself)
It’s also really annoying when you point this out and someone comes to champion the good name of all the other queer folk, as if you meant to imply that a person’s queerness, rather than their internal powerstruggle to remain closeted, was the reason for whatever slight they’re performing against the community.
It’s like, no, did you even read what was written? It’s such a weak argument and thought-terminating cliche, and it denies that part of the human condition is that one can try to suppress a part of themselves so ferociously that they externalize it onto everyone else.
