I’m not sure I believe they’ve gotten anywhere close to anger yet.

I’m excited for all new battery tech, we will drag people kicking and screaming into a safer less polluting future.

Fall’on d’floor for soccer.

Starseige tribes? Trackmania?

Longest grind? Runescape? Phantasy Star 3? disgaea if you don’t know what you’re doing

The CNC (computer controlled cutters) metals that slide into each other so tightly that you cannot see the seam, are created using 2 separate blocks of metal, one becomes the outer block and the other becomes the inner block, then they’re both polished together to appear seamless. There’s no practical way (as far as I know) to make significant cuts without losing or malforming some of the material (you can cut playdough without losing any of the mass, but it’s bunched up along the cut path.

My very old understanding of how materials behave

Wish I had the exact number (my brain likes to count everything), but I’ve done like 100 flip turns at the pool this year. Back in high school I’d do over 100 a day. I’ve been telling myself for a decade “this is the year I’ll do flip turns every lap by x-date”, of course I set off this year with the same lie. And of course I’m not doing them on every lap, but at one point I did my first in over 20 years, and then I did a couple in a row, and then I realized how much less time I have to focus on such a trivial thing, but it was the act of exercising itself that I was benefiting from, not perfectly recreating who I was half a lifetime ago.

I’ve kept going to the pool this year, and I’ve improved myself by doing that, I’m not going to be as fast or skilled or fluid as I used to be, I’m probably never going to flip turn every turn again, but I’m not going to get discouraged by not meeting my own goals that I’d set while looking in a rose tinted mirror.

Could also phrase it as “swam over 100 km (really a bit impressive amount of distance, 1.5-2.5 km per day one of two days a week) listening to the same 4"the dollop”, “god awful movies” “citation needed” and “no such thing as a fish” episodes on repeat (because I kept forgetting to bring my swim headphones and their transfer cable to the same place at the same time)

What wouldn’t be?

Something as simple as flipping on a device with a light switch would seen like witchcraft.

Want to know what time it is in the dark of the morning? reliable time keeping might be possible in a house, but certainly not in a bedroom, and certainly not millisecond-accurate or observable in the dark.

I think the only thing they wouldn’t be impressed with is alcohol consumption, but even then we have a variety, production scale and safety level they couldn’t fathom.

And the capitalist overlords will readily trot out these points and claim we live like nobility from the 1600s while sapping us of our every free moment and waking thought. Forgive my turning this political

I’m crying, and I’m not ashamed of it.

I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I’m kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There’s some sadness in those tears, but they’re covered by the happy ones

Maybe it’s a lesser known cover/lift of an 80s song?

Sinead O’Connor Nothing compares to you?

The Louvre is in Paris, not London.

Paris is in France, not great Britain.

Dan Brown is American not British.

Children’s nursery rhymes shouldn’t be the foundation of geographic knowledge of someone in their 30s.

I stopped building my own PCs over a decade ago because I was barely getting the parts at the same rate they would’ve come in a pre-built, ram was always hard to get, good deals “sold out” so quickly, and if a part goes bad it’s easier to take it to a warranty repair than it is for me to fight with the vendors myself.

My main machines recently have been low power laptops, my steam deck, and my phone, using GeForce now has allowed me to play most of my games on shit hardware, and my 10 year old games run just fine (mostly) on my 5 year old laptop.

As someone who hasn’t had a desktop in over a decade, this is looking pretty appealing to me.

Steam controller 2.0, it’ll be the last controller valve ever makes.

That was my read on it, not sure how I feel about it, I’d be happy enough with vr/ar/display glasses just hooked into the new gabe-box

Less downtime in marathon gaming sessions? I don’t know that this was meant to be portable outside of the house, I’d hate having to carry extra batteries with my deck…

Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

The VR headset is going to be standalone??

That’s pretty nuts right?

They’re so fucking hurt XD. It’s literally not going to affect 99% of the people who see this headline

Yeah, if the constitution weren’t currently worth less than toilet paper the 4th would have something to say about this. Also probably the 1st and 5th, and hopefully those 2nd supporters will start speaking up some time…
