  I’ll never hate a language which has a separate Wikipedia page about its profanity. Such a colourful language!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French is such a beautiful language⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear you, I dropped the Devil’s language in highschool as soon as I was able to do so. I still get PTSD just thinking about the listening exercises on tape cassettes, where usually someone told her entire life story in about a single minute. Unbelievable how fast people can talk in French.

  Well, there goes my appetite, this Dutch guy hates herring. Can’t stand the smell, taste or texture. 🤢

  Okay, just for shits 'n giggles we’ll throw in a War 11. Just mind that it can’t be fought with perfectly good legacy weapons, those will need to be replaced.

  Lekker. Kan ik je er ook een Haags Hopje bij aanbieden?

  Has it really been 20 years? Damn, I’m not ashamed to admit I don’t think I ever finished the game in that time.

  Each playthrough ended in fucking around with gasoline, pissing out some innocent bystanders that happened to stray too close and taking out the rest with cat-silenced guns. Bonus points if the cat gave out and was launched straight into somebody’s face, vomit all around. Good memories playing this with my younger brother. 😁

  I’ll happily trade your razor blade slot for the crumbling linen-covered iron electrical wiring inside metal pipes in our 50’s house. Don’t worry, we are busy replacing it all. But if I’m suddenly permanently offline our house probably burned down. 😋

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WaaaaAAALLLEEEeee⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But is it really Window’s fault when a software vendor decides not to support a newer Windows version, or a manager thinks cutting costs by not renewing a support contract is a great idea? I’ve seen plenty of software fail to compile on Linux because of, for example, slightly newer (or older) glibc versions being present. It’s not as if using Linux means software will run magically run on every version out there.

  Seeing how they screwed over Mick Gordon, the composer for the previous two installments, I’ll vote with my wallet and skip this one. My backlog is big enough as it is anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modders and phyiscs to Morrowind with Lua⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Impressive that it was implemented with just Lua and, from what I could see, without completely destroying the framerate.

  Yeah, it wasn’t perfect, but at least it had its darker edges. Feel like a slaver? Sure, no problem, you can enslave random wastelanders and sell them from r profit. Screw over BoS? Broken Steel let you do that. The Pitt gave an antagonist with a motive which turned out to be a bit more nuanced than it initially seemed. You could roleplay a fat-shaming, racist PoS if you wanted to, instead of presenting only safe options.

  Meanwhile a game like Fallout 3 had its fair share of flaws, but gave you plenty of opportunity to decide if you wanted to be the good guy or not. It also wasn’t afraid of locking players out of quests if they behaved like an asshole. I liked that, why would somebody try to work with you after you just gave them the proverbial finger?

  Far better than ‘oh golly, you just told me that I’m not a nice person. Well, that’s not very neighbourly of you, but I’ll pay you my life-long savings if you hop over the next hub and return my package that I conveniently know is collection dust over there, but can’t be bothered to collect myself’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Morrowind.

  Can you find this person whom wandered off into the ashlands? They went east-ish.

  I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in the Construction Kit so find out where in Vivec’s name I had to go this time. Usually it turned out I just barely missed the person or location I had to go before starting an hourlong search.

  But despite that still a game I deeply love.

  I especially hate it when you see a Warthog firing the old Avenger and they’ve made it sound like a slightly more rapid version of the original Gatling Gun. So underwhelming.

  Only one way to find out.

  With this character’s death, the threads of prophecy have been severed. You may load a saved game, or persist in this doomed world that you have created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon achieves optimal testosterone⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once called a friend at home, back before mobile phones were common, only to have some older man answer. Shit, did I call the wrong number? My mind started racing: his mom is divorced and doesn’t have a boyfriend from what my friend told. It’s unlikely my friend’s voice dropped 3 octaves overnight… Fuck, did somebody murder them and picked up the phone? Am I ne… Oh wait, his mom is a living chimney, ah… ‘Hi *friend’s mom*’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've studied most of my life for this moment.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it is wild that there are countries that allow this distopian shit at all. Sure, if you’re a pilot our something random tests are fine, lives depend on you being fit to fly. But for most jobs having used drugs the evening before wouldn’t affect the job, so it should not be the employers business what you do in your own time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please create a non-secure password.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I let my password manager create 32 char passwords, that should be enough for a while. But of course then you have websites that throw you a ‘your password is too long’ message and have you find out by trial and error that they only accept 12 characters.

  Or the off-by-one errors where the insist that 24 chars are the max, but in reality they accept 23. Probably never tested the limit.

  Or websites that truncate your password after X characters when registering, but not when logging in, so you end up with an incorrect password and good luck finding out which limit the registration page actually uses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please create a non-secure password.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but mysqli_real_escape_string() or any number of other similar solutions are indeed a thing that exists. A prepared statement would work, too.

  You make it sound as if a prepared statement is a last resort. I would turn that around: as a rule always use prepared statements when dealing with user input. It’s very easy to forget a single call to mysqli_real_escape_string().

  Probably iron deficiency, major blood loss after being stabbed in the kidneys by a spear will do that to you.

  Which is, of course, a perfectly natural response to this century’s most superfluous sequel.

  Oh yes, his performance is reason enough for a rewatch. 🤌🏻
