One of the neat things about old school gaming was how hardware limitations prompted immense creativity in an effort to beat or cheat them— telling fantastic stories and creating memorable characters within the tightest constraints. I think the spirit of those constraints is evident in how popular indie games have…

Rafale is one of my favorite AC craft, the Espada 1&2 dogfight was one of my favorites.

@Shep consider alternatives to the Mpow car mount as a deal. That product was recently part of an increasingly common review and product rank inflation campaign (free products shipped to reviewers, in the hopes of getting many insta 5-stars). I’m a top reviewer on Amazon and received it for free...it’s not that great.…

== people who buy a Dyson vacuum because it’s on sale for a “limited time”. Those things are perpetually on sale on a variety of websites; they’re not unlike those furniture stores that frequently have going out of business sales and then miraculously sell enough to stay afloat.

What I suspect happened was that the video loop demo created a buffering cache on the SSD, which caused numerous write cycles. Would be interesting to see the SMART stats on that drive.

I’ve noticed that oblique references are pretty standard in Japanese games. I wouldn’t put it past the game’s creators.

There’s the whole Nightmare of Mensis area, a Wet Nurse boss, consuming umbilical cords...it goes on. Wordplay and symbolism is strong in the game, so I think it’s fair play. I feel like the title is a subtle portmanteau, in the context of the game’s content, rather than simply the literal definition involving…

Everything is based on a twisted fertility cult that serves the Old Ones. Completion of the game completes the fertilization ritual and the strongest player transcends to a new form of existence. (Childhood’s Beginning ending).

This is essentially what Hainanese chicken rice is all about. Man I think I know what I’m making this weekend.

The main issue with these seagate externals is the cheap crappy hardware controller they use in the enclosure. I've had mixed results using these uber cheap drives as conventional internal HDDs. It costs less to buy these external drives and disassemble them for the drive within, than it is to buy the bare drive, in…

Loose lips sink ships. Aren’t there NDA’s in place if you worked on the boat? It’d be trivial for someone to find out who you are and blackball you, based on the info you shared. Be careful, bro.

TUN, for ease with Windows Networking/name resolution

Re-aging debt is illegal and an FDCPA violation in many states. A payment may toll the statute of limitations by one month, but it won’t reset the statute of limitations to zero. There is case law setting this in many states.

Validation notices are a formality, but not the authority on whether a debt is valid. Debt validation is only mandatory if a debtor requests validation within 30 days of the first initial notice being mailed (to the last known address). After the 30 days, there is no impetus for a legitimate collector to hastily…

I frequently see cherimoyas for sale in Los Angeles, when they are in season. I love them. Delicious custard apple.

Oh nice. I have a solid OpenVPN setup and my up connection is now 150Mbps. I would love to place shift my gaming and use a light, inexpensive laptop as a frontend.

The answer is Volvo.

Man, there are so many vinegars out there. They’re all useful and delicious when mixed with the right things.

Here’s what you do- get some diatomaceous earth and sprinkle it all over the interior of the car. It’s a very fine, powdery, white substance. It works by drying out the bugs. To help the powder embed itself into any crevices where they may hide, drive fast and do aggressive maneuvering. The powder might get into your…
