Where I’m at, the tap water not only tastes bad, it’ll also give you the flying shits for days, and beer is cheaper than bottled water…

I’ve been known to put garlic salt in a bowl of Cheerios before, so I guess I’d try it at least once, if it was a real thing of course… 🤷♂️
Disclaimer: Back when I’d put garlic salt in Cheerios, the reason was I had a dental cavity and sugar was hurting my teeth, but I also didn’t want my cereal tasting like cardboard.

Aww, you’re missing out homie!
There’s a couple of few different renditions by different artists. To me, I thought they were silly cute, if not just a slight bit creepy…

I like the various silly artist renditions of what the mascot’s skeleton looks like 😂

Vertigo was actually an expansion on Descent 2, I made the NoCD patch for it via a carefully hex edited mod based on another NoCD patch for the original Descent 2.
Any which way, yeah, anyone with vertigo wouldn’t be comfortable or oriented in any way if they’re watching or playing the game.

Indeed, it’s not quite a game for everyone, especially if you’re prone to motion sickness. Initially it only took me about a half hour to get a feel for the game, but configuring the controls can still be a headache.
Every time I set the game up on a new or different system, I tend to usually go for loosely the same sort of controls, but each new setup I might change up the controls a bit, like an endless guessing and testing game to see what controls might be ideal, at least for me.
By the way, Descent is considered a 6 Degrees Of Freedom game, not 4. But hey, at least they have a map feature, I’d go insane without the map sometimes…

I haven’t actually played Free Space before, but I did manage to get a copy and archive it a few years ago.
I also got a copy of Overload and briefly tried that, but on my current hardware it only runs at about 3 frames per second…
The Descent developers were really ahead of their time and pushing gaming to the extreme!

My favorite game of all time is Descent, PC version to be specific, I didn’t have a PlayStation when I first played it.
The first time I tried it, I had a 386sx 20MHz, and Descent, with the graphics configured at absolute lowest size and quality, would run at a whopping 3 frames per second!
I knew it was basically unplayable on my home PC, but did that stop me? Fuck no, I took the 3 floppy disks installer to school and installed it on their 486dx 66MHz computers!
I knew it would just be a matter of time before I got a chance to upgrade my own computer at home.
I still enjoy playing the game even to this day, and have even successfully cross compiled the source code to run natively on Linux.
But yeah I feel you on a variety of levels regarding the framerate thing. Descent at 3 frames per second is absolutely unplayable, but 20 frames per second is acceptable. But in the world of Descent, especially with modern upgraded ports, the more frames the better 👍

Interesting. Quote from the article…
“Hyperdontia or supernumerary is the presence of congenital presence of some teeth more than usual okay.”
Okay…

That’s how you smoke it.
Don’t ask, I’ve met more than my share of ice heads. Not my thing though.

I’m not familiar either, but if your mom is regularly also going through lighters and somehow going through too many glass light bulbs or aluminum foil for any sane person, well it’s probably a good idea to not get supplies for your mom…

This actually made me curious enough to dig just a little deeper down this rabbit hole, so I did a little
GooglingDucking on it. There’s quite a few articles regarding this, not sure how much it does or doesn’t pertain to AI rules and regulations though 🤷♂️ - Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome. 3 weeks ago:
It most likely depends on the country you’re in. Some countries are already adopting such laws. Not much different than the age verification thing some countries are doing, total invasion of privacy, to appease the powers in charge.

It didn’t used to be that way, sure. Until now when governments want all the info on users with hardware that can process AI…

Though it’s been forever since I’ve used anything Nvidia, I have heard something about that.
Since Nvidia has jumped full force into Artificial Intelligence, governments are requiring information on who owns and uses such hardware, and it most likely also comes with spying on what you’re using it for.
We truly live in a fucking dystopia now. ☹️

- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 3 weeks ago:
It’s mostly because of fatty foods. The fats/oils tend to solidify in the colder temperatures of sewage lines, ultimately causing clogged lines.
Our waste though has generally digested a large amount of that fat, whether it gets built up on your belly and ass or whether a lot of it gets expelled in the sweat.
- Comment on It's just for testing, promise 🤞 3 weeks ago:
My dad had a habit of collecting random junk, particularly electronics and appliances, for parts or repair. I’m not sure what device it was that it came out of, as it was only the base of the device with two of those capacitors and a pretty big transformer.
One of the capacitors failed and started leaking the electrolyte out as soon as I tried testing it, but the other one apparently worked fine at least.

I have about the same luck with shoes. Once I finally find the perfect fitting shoes and wear them out, I’m lucky if I can find the same shoes new even once again… ☹️
