They had a colonial genocide in Africa before the Nazis. The Herero and Nama genocide.

Better than ocean water, fish poop in there!

You can totally 3d print shower heads, it’s usually a pretty standard connector. (Well, there’s like two standards, based on very limited research - US and Canada have a different standard than the rest of the world.)

Legacy Nvidia drivers a couple months ago? That was a fun time, lol.

There’s a game dev version they’re working on that I’m kinda hyped for.

I have the jlab version and they’re comfortable enough, but they’re pinching the side of your ear so they do get uncomfortable after a while. I still prefer them to standard earbuds, but I’m also prone to ear infections so…

Keep in mind sound quality probably isn’t quite on par with similar priced earbuds, but they’re great for podcasts. +1 for these being a “glad I bought them” impulse buy.

I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

Is that true everywhere or just in the US? I know that, at least a few years ago, a bunch of banking software in the US was still in COBOL but parts of Western Europe were modernizing their banking industry. I’m probably going back to school for computer science in the fall and had been considering trying to learn COBOL in my free time, or learning more Fortran (I have actually taken a programming class with Fortran, but because it was aimed at beginners it didn’t really go in depth, but I bet it’d look good on certain resumes). It’s looking like my future is in Europe somewhere, so I’m keeping that in the back of my mind while making decisions.

My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.

The Fallout games you’d expect are in their roadmap, along with Skyrim and a few other Bethesda games, so that’s pretty awesome. I still haven’t played New Vegas even though I have it on Epic because modding is a headache on Linux right now and apparently not exactly optional for NV.

If this was actually a smart watch I’d seriously consider it, but it apparently doesn’t have any way of connecting to a smartphone.

Sometime around 2019-ish they locked them down hard and it’s not possible to jailbreak them and put custom firmware on it, however I’m pretty sure you can still put the play store on it, I’ve side loaded it on my 2021 model but it’s still awful because of Amazon.

Also some of the people who did have those terrible games as kids are probably still nostalgic for them.

My first game console was the Atari 5200 (garage sale, I’m not actually that old). Was it objectively bad? Yeah, probably. But I still want one and I’m still pissed at what happened to the one I had as a kid.

Go out and paint bike lanes, encouraging cycling means less traffic for your van.

Oh he’s the Lego Island guy, I thought he sounded familiar.

I’ve read a fan translation of the script for this one because I was really into the series as a teenager. It’s Ziggy’s backstory. Story-wise it’s very much like the rest of the series and feels like they just fleshed out notes they already made for the other games which is probably what happened.

Off topic, but Crypt of the Necrodancer is on sale right now on Steam and I own a dance mat… do you know how difficult the dance mat mode for the game is? I’m really bad at rhythm games, I still have a lot of fun playing them though.
