Really. Fortunately this has no relevance to present day. Right, folks?

… right?

I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.

HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

The porn was fun though.

I really liked the immortal dude. Sam Spruell stole the show. I did have an issue with the Halloween episode though. Like Dot went through all the trouble of changing the street signs, but she couldn’t wear a mask on Halloween? Classic smart character does something stupid so the plot can happen.

Not a whole lot.

So, yeah. What’s a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?

My second bout with Covid. Wasn’t nearly as bad as the first time. All I did was watch Legend of Korra and Fargo season 5. All good now though.

That’s my guess.

Not dad joke. Far too adult for a child to understand and actually funny.

There was also an anti-French Wagner/Russian backed military coup d’etat. The US had to closed down a drone base that kept eyes on terrorism suspects there. Even if it was perfect weather, probably not a great place to be right now.

For me, it was the 2011 Playstation Hack.

Credit card data was encrypted, but Sony admitted that other user information was not encrypted at the time of the intrusion.

After that, I swore I would never give a corporation that lax with personal information my own.

Taketomi Island. Very chill, really beautiful place. Would love to visit again.

On the plus side, I have rediscovered my joy of reading.

Hold up. People assume it’s about apartheid. Remember all those clips of South Africans saying “they should go back where they come from” in that documentary montage at the beginning? Those were real clips of people talking about immigrants from Zimbabwe. District 9 is about immigration.

Asked if there are any Indian “sleeper agents” in Canada, Teboul said it’s a “great question” but he can’t say more about it because it’s “very much at the centre of evidence and ongoing investigations.”

This does not bode well for the Indian diaspora in Canada. I worry that anyone a shade darker than Toronto snow is going to be the focus of xenophobia.

To understand the complexity of the human brain, you need a brain more complex than the human brain.

who smells like shit.

That’s not fair. He smells like a combination of ketchup and shit.

Another Jan. 6? Like the chaos that is currently unfolding from the baker’s dozen of MAGA protestors outside the courthouse?
