I love this! It’s bursting with energy! Zeus’s face is all too relatable for anyone who’s had a splitting headache!

Nor must they be only two people (could be any number) nor must they even be human!

Yes! Alan Rickman was a true scene stealer in everything he did. I really miss him! RIP

Nowadays I use a trackpad for almost everything. I do use a mouse at work but then I mostly use keyboard shortcuts for everything I can (Excel really flies when you know some keyboard shortcuts).

Ahhh. I use command-click to open in new tabs.

I haven’t played a game that uses the mouse in several years. I mostly play Roguelikes such as NetHack, DCSS, or Caves of Qud using keyboard controls only, or console games with a controller.

I have never used a CAD program though sometimes I’ve thought about it.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever wanted to click the middle mouse button. The experience of having done so once or twice was bad enough to get me to rebind the action to something else.

Middle mouse paste was great on true 3 button mice. It became a liability with the invention of the mouse wheel, which made it a total crapshoot to try to click that damn button without rolling the wheel at the same time. It’s a classic case of overloaded functionality.

Like imagine if cars put the accelerator into the steering wheel, so you had to press the steering wheel down to accelerate. Everyone would hate it and it would be a safety nightmare. We put up with things on computers that we never would in other areas of life.

Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner was also good.

The best Robin Hood film is the one from 1938 starring Errol Flynn. That movie is a masterpiece!

He’s a character from folklore which is a bit different. He isn’t owned by any one author. He may be based on historical people with certain details embellished or altered, and then more fictional stories added on over time.

His stories do include references to real historical people and events, such as the kings Richard I and John. The 1938 film (starring Errol Flynn) weaves these two into a story about Robin Hood leading a peasant revolt against John, tapping into Anglo-Saxon identity as a form of English nationalism.

Just launch on a rocket and park yourself in L1. Boom, perpetual daylight!

Those kinds of arguments fail if someone believes that God created logic as well.

If you liked Pixel Dungeon then I highly recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon! It has become the de facto official version of Pixel Dungeon under the care of Evan, who develops the game as his primary occupation. Evan has radically rebalanced the game and greatly increased its depth and character development, with new classes and subclasses, talent trees, and a vastly improved alchemy system!

How is that different from China, Japan, South Korea, or any of countless other countries with a dominant ethnicity and laws that try to preserve it? Heck, I would even call Quebec an ethnostate if it were independent of Canada.

I wasn’t familiar with Carole Lombard (I’m still a total beginner when it comes to golden age films). Now I’m reading about her and looking at tons of old photos.

I did really get old school Hollywood vibes from your drawing and it made me feel good. Keep it up! I want to see more!

It may be working in the short term but in the medium term MAGA may be imploding as real people get their faces eaten by leopards and become disillusioned with the movement.

I think you’re exactly right about his name. It’s completely irrational but people seem to buy into the nominative determinism at a subliminal level!

Love Stephen Universe!

We must dissent

Musk has nothing to do with the woes of the California High Speed Rail project. He’s just commenting from the peanut gallery and getting picked up by the news. He admitted hyperloop was never a serious proposal and it never factored into the actual decision making process for the project.

The reason the project is so delayed is because of democracy. It’s a long distance route so it crosses many different county lines and properties along the way. Each of those counties have their own municipal governments involved and there are lots of private property holders along the way too. Couple that with the public consultations, the bidding for all the contracts, the environmental assessments (which are the bane of every construction project in California), and the high cost of labour for workers in California (and USA generally).

All of this comes long after the US had engaged in the process of outsourcing manufacturing and importing (in the form of undocumented workers and other low-skilled migrants) its construction workforce. This has left the US very badly equipped to handle large construction projects even after finally approving them. The US is a very different country, skill- and education-wise, from the New Deal era of the 1930s.

Slop falls to the bottom but I bet a lot of hidden gems do too. The greater volume of games coming out, the harder it’ll be for individual developers to get recognized!

Old school indie developer Jeff Vogel has a whole talk about how difficult it is.
