Well I’m currently playing Armored Core 6, and I gotta hand it to em, there’s basically no story whatsoever. It’s just giant robots. And it’s pretty fantastic.

man & girl go out to drive under moonlight. they stop at on at a side of road. he turn to his girl and say: “baby, i love you very much” “what is it honey?” “our car is broken down. i think the engine is broken, ill walk and get some more fuel.” “ok. ill stay here and look after our stereo. there have been news report of steres being stolen.” “good idea. keep the doors locked no matter what. i love you sweaty”
so the guy left to get full for the car. after two hours the girl say “where is my baby, he was supposed to be back by now”. then the girl here a scratching sound and a voice say “LET ME IN”
the girl doesn’t do it and then after a while she goes to sleep. the next morning she wakes up and finds her boyfriend still not there. she gets out to check and man door hand hook car door.

Whenever people ask me what engineering work is like, I always tell them I have no idea. I’m not an engineer; engineers drive trains, I’m just a poser.

K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.
I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.
- Comment on I knew it all along! 10 months ago:
FPGAs are where it’s at, and the job market is surprisingly pretty open right now. Everybody’s sleeping on them, everyone wants study CUDA cores or architecture or… ML hardware accelerators or whatever. If you can transition to RTL design or even silicon engineering, it’s a good industry to be in.
Now, me personally, I’ve never made the funny magic smoke come out from one of my FPGAs, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fucked up an entire pipeline because I thought a series of logic would take 3 cycles but really it took 2 and now my entire data path is wrong and somehow I missed it in simulation and now I’ve gotta rearchitect everything and running synthesis/P&R takes a goddamn century to run and this is like my 5th time programming my board and…

As a computer engineer who works with FPGAs, thank you. I can’t tell you how many times someone comes to me with a CS question and I’m like, I dunno! Ask a CS person! I hardly know Python. [Admittedly, I really should learn.]

In all seriousness, very excited to hop in and see what’s new, I’ve never had the opportunity to play some of this content.

I’ve always long believed that this is the single most interesting video on YouTube. It’s so well written and well explained, and every time it pops up, I watch it in its entirety. Such a fantastic channel.

Huh, I was expecting my phone’s calculator to return i, but it just says it’s undefined. You’d think imaginary numbers should be supported, but I guess not. Maybe some phone calculators do, and some don’t?

- Comment on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 6 - Course Overview 1 year ago:
This is true, but the slight difference is that the WiiU extremely undersold. A significant number of people who own a Switch did not own a WiiU-- I myself did own a WiiU, and was bummed to not be able to play Mario Maker, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, 3D World, and so on… but most of my complaints were met with re-releases and sequels. I can’t say I entirely disagree with the decision, again since the WiiU was a major flop, but it would have been nice to have my WiiU library brought over. But for most people, they didn’t care. I mean, MK8D sold more copies than the WiiU itself.
But this is a different ball game. The Switch is a success. Many people own a Switch. The Legend of Zelda games on Switch are among the highest rated video games in history. If this catalog is lost when transferring to the next console, Nintendo would absolutely be shooting themselves in the foot. Historically, Nintendo is somewhat on board with backwards compatibility, but not always, so we’ll see.
- Comment on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 6 - Course Overview 1 year ago:
Kinda gives me suspicions that the next console won’t be backwards compatible. They couldn’t market another Mario Kart, or Smash Brothers while I’m at it, if you could just play the old one… unless it’s a significant upgrade.
I sure hope the next console is backwards compatible, or I aint buying it.

- Comment on How long to grow a community? 1 year ago:
What a coincidence, I just started getting back into geocaches myself!
Anyway, all the advice here is great, but I’d also like to point out that we are on the fediverse. There aren’t that many people here, compared to other platforms, and the demographic is certainly skewed one way. You can definitely use these in your favor, but don’t get discouraged when you’re “only” pulling a few hundred, when that pretty solidly puts the community into one of the big ones (again, comparatively speaking). Things are just a bit more quiet here.
- Comment on The truly stupid questions get censored by the moderators. Have you noticed? 1 year ago:
OP might maybe have had a shred of plausible deniability up until now as being someone edgy or wacky or whatever, or at best someone with a very active imagination. But that reply there pretty solidly confirms OP is just a downvote farmer.
Downvote and move on, no further point wasting any more of your brainpower on them.
- Comment on Terraria developer bashes Unity, donates $200k to open source alternatives 1 year ago:
Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they’ve been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can’t forget about their amazing mod support.
And redigit is just, like, the man.

- Comment on Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 1 year ago:
They remove my glass cannon build, and we take to the steets.
But I don’t think they’d change any of the core mechanics. Maybe add some side ones, like a boss rush mode, like what they added to the Mario RPG remake.
My 1-in-a-million prediction? Fast travel mechanic. Mario folds himself up into an envelope and mails himself to a town he’s already gotten a crystal star from. (Yes, I know we already have the underground pipes, just let me believe.)
- Comment on Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 1 year ago:
I mean a widescreen, HD remaster. It being on NSO’s emulators doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t up for being remastered, as Link’s Awakening is on GB but was also remastered.
Nintendo likely thought that fans would more appreciate a TTYD remaster than Paper Mario 64, and I know I sure do. (Not that I dislike PM64.)
- Comment on Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door | Nintendo Direct 9.14.2023 1 year ago:
This game means so much to me, I’m literally playing through with a friend right now (just got to Twilight Town last week!). I’m so absolutely excited for this game once again, and I’m glad Nintendo decided to make this step. I mean, not even Paper Mario 64 first? Bonkers.
The only person I can think of more excited than me is Arlo, which is a given.
