I hope no one with bad intentions shows them how fragile their electric system is. It would be a real shame with rising summer temperatures and all those ACs blowing full blast.

It’s a moot point to debate whether Trump is a Russian asset or not. Either way, he’s acting as if he was.

So let’s spin up some AI generated “photos” and flood their servers with fake reports!

I’ve played every Civilization up to and including 6, but I’ve been playing Humankind and loving it. It’s by the studio that did Endless Space 2, the game I’ve put the most hours into, and that’s saying a lot. Humankind solves some of the frustrations with Civilization I always had. For example, wonders are claimed by a civilization and made whenever the user feels like it. There’s no wasting 20 turns only to be beat to the punch by a player you haven’t even seen yet. Stuff like that.

Paul is a weird name for a girl. I’d rather go with McKenzie or Murphy or Noah. Now those are some girly names.

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.

There’s the gerrymandering thing though. When done in good faith it can give a voice to minorities. When done in bad faith… well, you’ve seen what happens. Point is it’s a double edged sword.

“Literally” doesn’t mean “figuratively”. It’s just an intensifier.
