I’m guessing the ‘LSD: Dream Emulator’ PS1 game might evoke some familiar feelings.

NT was developed separately, it was just given the 3 version number to be sorta in sync with the workstation line (which sentiment went outta the window with 95, until NT became the main line).

Curiously, where I am, apple juice is so easy to come by that other juices are diluted with apple juice.

For 25 squares of size 1x1 you’d need a square of size 5x5. The square into 17 squares of size 1x1 fit is smaller than 5x5, so you can’t fit 25 squares into it.

I have to wonder if the pic is made by AI, because it’s fascinating to me that some people keep cranking out elaborate Pepe images. Shitposting in text is easy, drawing not so much.
The OP image is rather low-res, but I don’t see any particularly obvious bullshit in the Pepe pic. Other than the fact that drawing full five fingers is unusual for a comic.

辻斬り or 辻斬, literally “crossroads killing”
So either ‘crossroads killing’ or ‘crossroads killing and a swirl’.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 1 week ago:
The thing is, I haven’t heard that the backpack was thrown out of the evidence, which is what confuses me. But I’m only following the case via Lemmy and Reddit.
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 1 week ago:
The most loud evidence since the arrest was the backpack with the gun and the manifesto. Except it was known pretty soon that the cops botched the ‘chain of custody’ for the backpack, as some officer had the backpack in her sole possession for an hour before delivering it to the station.
I keep being baffled as to why I don’t see any news about this evidence being thrown away. Maybe it was dismissed from the trial right away, idk.

Wait until you hear that ffmpeg is available as a library, including for Python. And that there are Python modules providing Python-specific ways of specifying the processing filters and whatnot, instead of putting them into the single command string.

TBH I have no idea why bay leaves aren’t ground like other herbs — despite having spent my childhood watching my mom regularly put bay leaves in her cooking.
That might also be why I detect barely any taste in bay leaves.

Even just a keyboard with left and right halves angled toward the respective arms would help. Because with a typical keyboard, the arms come at it at an angle, and then the wrists are crooked to have the fingers on the straight key rows. An angled or split keyboard allows to keep the wrists straight.

Kinesis are king. But if you want a cheaper option, Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic or whatever it’s called is quite good, even though it’s not properly split. The halves are angled so that your wrists wouldn’t be crooked.
And when I inevitably break the key mechanism trying to clean inside, I unpack old reliable MS Natural 4000 and clack away again.
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 1 week ago:
There are a bunch of cultures where a ‘sacred language’ is permitted only for men, or there are distinct languages used by only men and only women. Unfortunately, my memory isn’t so good as to remember what those languages are. A quick search shows that the Kallawaya language is a ‘secret language’ passed down usually from father to son, and to daughters only is a man has no sons.
Check out ‘Gender role in language’ and the topic of genderlects; Gender differences in Japanese; Nüshu script.
You could also try looking through above-mentioned sacred languages and ritual languages for whether it’s mentioned that any of them are specific to a gender.

It also helps to check for signs of pre-diabetes, as afaiu healthy people don’t get this issue. I didn’t start getting the shakes until I gotten fat and unexercised.

Btw, a simple alarm on the phone helps me remember when it’s time for a meal in my whack schedule.

It’s a consequence of low blood sugar. Although there are other possible causes.

That’s it! The description sounds pretty fun actually, I might need to fire the game up myself.
My nagging feeling that it was ‘Road Rash’ with a skateboard or skates didn’t deceive me, as apparently the ‘RR’ engine was reused for this game.
- Comment on Ron Ejaculated Loudly 💦 1 week ago:
I mean, the themes of ‘PoA’ are somewhat more mature, so the noirish look was warranted. And from what I remember, it wasn’t just a blue-and-orange palette, like in many modern films, but a pretty colorful one inside that noir feel.
Cuarón also doesn’t do such palettes everywhere. ‘Y tu mamá también’ is very colorful, while the dystopian ‘Children of Men’ is accordingly subdued. So it was a choice appropriate to the events in the film, just like the installments later in the series also get darker.
- Comment on Ron Ejaculated Loudly 💦 1 week ago:
Are you kidding? The first two films were shot in the most boring way possible, which is a bit odd considering the director Chris Columbus had previously made the two ‘Home Alones’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. I still regret that I didn’t know of VLC’s playback speed adjustment when I watched ‘HP’.
Then they got proper good director Alfonso Cuarón, who shown how a fantasy film could actually look and feel. After which of course he wasn’t hired again, and instead in one more iteration they found David Yates, who churned out the remaining four films like it was a factory job for him.

I vaguely remember a skateboarding game from the 90s where the character could grab onto cars. But it was probably on something like Sega Mega and pretty primitive. Might’ve been one of the Simpsons games.

From what I’ve heard, the puppeteer Phil Fletcher occasionally throws out random stuff as jokes on co-hosts.

Mallsoft is also a subgenre of vaporwave.
