Tbh “Worst Generation” isn’t nearly as bad as “Last Generation” or “Still Not the Worst Generation”. I’ll take it.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 5 days ago:
It always seems weird to me that they didn’t market it for its true potential, as a D&D and board game medium.
I built one myself with diffusive plastic, a short throw projector, and a PS3 camera, and it ruled.
- Comment on Anon asks out a friend 1 week ago:
It’s pretty clear to me that anon carefully crafted this story, no matter how much of it is actually real, to cast himself in the best possible light and show this woman as evil. It’s telling that in doing so he didn’t even realize that it reflected poorly on him to shame her for having sex with someone who wasn’t him.

Thankfully I made it through the first season of the Office, which is now a favorite show. If I can make it through that when every episode gave me psychic damage, I can make it through anything.
- Comment on The devil made me do it 3 weeks ago:
No joke last week I made 48 deviled eggs for a dinner party and as I was piping the filling I got a text rescheduling the event, leaving me with 48 deviled eggs and no one to help eat them.
It was a dangerous time for me.

Unless you are wearing a hi vis vest, I hear. Then they let you walk right on by.

If you are concerned, you could start by inviting him and his friends to something first.
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Trailer 5 weeks ago:
People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release.
And after a lot of work it’s one of my favorite games.
I’m not going to pre-order this one, but I’ll stay cautiously optimistic.
- Comment on Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System 5 weeks ago:
This game made me so angry after loving DL1. I can’t even remember specifically why, hopefully it was the stamina and now it’s fixed. I’ll never know because it’s dead to me.

There’s a soda machine in seattle on the sidewalk of some random street not near any store, that someone stocks with random cans of whatever. Stuff I would have bet money doesn’t exist, sometimes. Never heard anyone mention it, but when I brought it up they were like “oh yeah that haunted vending machine.”
- Comment on Off topic 1 month ago:
A long time ago my dad bought a full blown surround sound set-up, and I got so tired of not being able to hear that I spent days fiddling with the settings to no effect. Went online to do deep dive research and people just kind of hand-waived with a generic “buy a better setup and try different settings”. Completely gave up on good audio and leaned into the subtitle life.
Maybe if someday I could afford a bigger place I’ll try again. I did get some high quality speakers for my PC, but the years of disappointment lowered my standards so much that I didn’t even notice the left speaker was off because I didn’t slot the copper wires correctly for many months.

It’s a quick-draw stance, I believe.
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 1 month ago:
Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.
I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

TIL, thanks

I didn’t listen to much music for the better part of a decade, mostly because I wasn’t driving, then it occurred to me one day that I could start streaming it during a lot of the stuff I do. Probably doubled how much music knowledge I had in two years.
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 months ago:
No one’s talking about anon’s weird assumption that authors go from idea directly to manga, and not that most authors start by writing a novel to attract a sponsor.

That’s how Wildbow does it.
- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 2 months ago:
A while back I read several bad books in a row and decided to try manga for a break. Some of them were good, others weren’t. Then I got frustrated because most of the stuff I was reading wasn’t finished, so I sought out the source material novels that were further along. Ended up finding some really good books that I otherwise would have never knew existed.
Highly recommend the Ascendence of a Bookworm novel.

Aluminum is a weird choice because it’s almost always alloyed with other metals.

Oh yeah that sounds nice, it’s almost certainly a cultural thing haha. Here in the US it sucks.
- Comment on suckcess 2 months ago:
if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out
I can’t even imagine this actually happening, even at the better companies I’ve worked at. Closest I’ve seen is when someone is so overloaded that they quit, then management decides to hire two people to replace them so they can “catch up”.
- Comment on what 2 months ago:
In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.
