I was mildly obsessed. It felt like the future! I miss technology like that. I’m kinda excited for all this AR stuff people are talking about because I haven’t really been excited by the latest and greatest shiny black rectangle in a long time.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 2 weeks ago:
Yep. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, I always say.

Thanks! It was a pain to set up the little screen trick but for what it’s worth, I won the contest!

About 21 years ago (😩) I made a stereoscopic photo for some online contest. I was pretty proud of it.

- Comment on Those posts for little home gadgets that show up on social media, kinda like "as seen on tv" stuff but since it's tiktok/insta and other such sites, what would those be called? 3 weeks ago:
I think we can call them astroturfed garbage.

There’s a VR game that I think has a flat port as well, called The Last Worker. You basically play The Last human working at an obvious Amazon analogue. It’s pretty entertaining.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 4 weeks ago:
8 was designed terribly, but the engineering was unbelievably good. It was more streamlined and stable than it had ever been, it was just skinned by a tablet-obsessed moron.
- Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market? 5 weeks ago:
As I understand it, Onyx Boox/Palma devices are great, but Onyx is a flagrant violator of GPL FWIW. For a full size reader I always recommend/second the Kobo Libra Colour and for a Palma replacement, the Bigme Hibreak is fantastic and also comes in color for a great price.

It really was brutal, but in the way that makes you very aware that it’s your fault for sucking at it.

I used to sing Sub Terrania’s praises long before it was cool. That game is a gem. The development team was a bunch of demoscene madmen who were able to wring miracles out of the Genesis.
Their later game, Red Zone, is a technological flex like nothing else.

Reminded me of this old gem, original source sadly lost to the sands of the web.

If you like pedantry, people have definitely flown in vehicles and even jumped.

Excuse my ignorance of genre names, but isn’t Rogue Trader a fully blown Warhammer CRPG?

Corrected. One pedant point awarded.

Knowledgeable identification of an insect from the photo with cited reasoning: nice.

- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 2 months ago:
The problem is that the winners don’t share. They exploit the others. That’s exactly what got us here in the first place.
- Comment on How Will We Know If The Trump Tariffs Were A Good Idea? 2 months ago:
Any economist or data scientist should be able to pretty easily compare the economic course to a forecast of what would have happened with minimal interference.
Will we listen? No, because experts don’t count for shit in the US anymore.

- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 3 months ago:
True, sure. I’m just saying the overall price of games has gone down significantly over time. An upward correction makes some sense. I’m not cheering it on, just trying to help frame the circumstances.

Ocarina of Time cost $116.91 at launch, accounting for inflation.

If 6 is the Papermate felt tip, then that one. I like the static tip. Otherwise, probably the upstart Sharpie.

Fun fact (because there’s nothing more fun than technicality!): Technically it wasn’t his life’s work. Well before his work on nuclear fission, Oppenheimer was actually responsible for originally theorizing the existence of both antimatter and black holes. He was a more intuitive physicist than a technical one, so he didn’t follow through on these ideas, instead letting others carry the work forward.

They already staged a coup to install him.

OH SHIT that’s why it was so unsettling! Blast from the past!
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #57 - Aperture Desk Job 5 months ago:
Valve did the same thing for the Index VR kit. They create these little brief but fully produced games to demonstrate the functionality when they release new hardware, and they’re delightful.
