Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?
  • Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I'm always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It's not something I worry about very much.

  • The Illuminator Advert - Game Boy Accessory
  • I had one of these in translucent purple to match the Gameboy and it was dope.

  • Some are called the great old ones for a reason
  • Is it too early for me to inspire madness in the minds of men?

  • Debunking the grey market beyond Steam
  • Yeah that's a pretty important distinction. I can buy Rimworld from the Steam store, or I can buy a Rimworld Steam key straight from the Ludeon website for the same price or I can buy a DRM copy for less I just won't get Steam features like automatic updates, cloud saves, or the mod workshop.

    Seems reasonable they don't want you using the platform for distribution while undercutting the storefront price.

  • Debunking the grey market beyond Steam
  • So can developers just 'create' steam keys out of thin air that can be used to activate their game on steam? Does Valve get paid when the keys are created or activated? Or not at all?

    Seems fair maybe if it's using all of Steams infrastructure, considering developers can distribute the game themselves without steam keys.

  • rule away Rowling
  • I can't tell if I'm allowed to be excited about it because I love Sandman but Gaiman is a creep.

  • Modern technology is a marvel
  • I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.

  • I had this conversation last month, also from a 13 yo.
  • Meanwhile being "the bomb" is good, but "bombing" is bad.

    But if you're "shit" that's bad but "the shit" is good.

  • Google’s New AI Puts Breasts on Minors—And J. D. Vance
  • No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance's massive hate-filled titties.

  • HEED THIS WARNING, LIBERAL
  • Pet you both simultaneously.

  • bleed to death rule
  • These chodes want a bulletproof pickup but it's easier to just drive a normal car so no one hates you enough to shoot at you.

  • Showing who's in charge
  • A: "Good job Tex."

    B: "My name is Sam sir, I'm from Wisconsin."

    A: "Nah, you're Tex now."

    (This is my vague memory of a gag in an Atomic Robo comic)

  • SteamOS 3 finally released by Valve for other handheld
  • On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

    On a desktop? No. It's not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.

  • It's those damn coding gremlins I tell ya
  • Yup, I messed it up. I edited my post to be the correct way around.

  • It's those damn coding gremlins I tell ya
  • Hemingway used to say "Write drunk, edit sober." I've modernized that a bit for my own personal philosophy:

    Code drunk. Debug drunk. Merge drunk.

  • How are everyone's Space Age factories going?
  • It's been working well enough for me. Before and after every section that I pull nutrients off the belt I filter spoilage to another belt running in the opposite direction. I'm too lazy to calculate actual ratios so I just kind of eyeball places where spoilage seems to be backing up and either filter it off again or add a few inserters to pass it off to bots.

    I'm planning to scale up my Gleba base a bit soon (working on Fulgora now) and I'm going to try putting bioflux on trains, making nutrients at each city block. Feel like that's going to be rough to figure out.

  • CD Rule
  • I keep my old SATA DVD-RW but I haven't had it installed in anything for years. I finally recycled my USB floppy drive. I'd kept it to potentially help people with data recovery but decided that floppy data anyone might have lying around had already degraded.

  • CD Rule
  • Why do you use cassettes?

  • Software companies HATE him!
  • Do you know what this is called or have any links? I'm not finding anything that seems like what you're describing.

  • Took my teenage daughter to a sellout arena concert for a band she likes. This photo from the venue accurately represents the audience demographic.
  • This way when I walk in I can find an open urinal between two people, pull my pants down to my ankles, put my arms around each of them and piss without touching my dick at all.

    How are everyone's Space Age factories going?

    It's been a little bit since Space Age released and I'm curious to hear what everyone has been up to lately in their factory!

    On my part I've been ready to go to Aquilo for a while now but I got distracted rebuilding everything on Nauvis with a rail-based city block design. I also got a calcite mining platform up and running and switched over a bunch of production to use molten metal.

    I'm hoping to check out Aquilo anytime now but I might have to do a bit of work on Gleba and Fulgora before I can afford to be stranded again.

    What sorts of things have you been working on in your factory?
