Smart watches really feel like the palm pilots/pdas of this generation.

I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.

I feel like such a fake fan. This is obviously one of his most personal and sincere artistic offerings as a film maker… but I was just bored the entire way through. It was beautiful and whimsical, but the story left me so cold and unsatisfied. Nothing resolved, nothing really mattered, nothing felt like subtext. And I know I’m wrong, it MUST be something I missed.

I guess I’m just basic, but hit me with that Porco Rosso or Wind Rises or Laputa vibes. But thats art, there’s no accounting for taste. I’m going to watch Heron again and see if it takes a second viewing for it to hit home.

Regardless how I feel about it, I was so happy to finally catch a Miyazaki film in theatres with my kids. That was great.

Its fun with minimal bullshit.

I dont get the hysteria, personally.

I came here to escape the crowds, not migrate with them.

Battlefield 1942 - Desert Combat mod.

I still play it with just bots to kill time. Its just so good. The apache flight model is a thing of pure beauty.

Wow, thats some wild hyperbole there.

GIMP really needs its Blender moment.

Marathon.

It is a long road, getting from there to here. I say make your own way. I have opinions about Trek that the larger community seems to disagree with pretty strongly but meh.

My unsolicited lukewarm take/advice is; don’t let them tell you whats good and whats bad, decide for yourself. Just like Star Wars theres a lot to love, and sure a lot to criticize. Sometimes criticism is fun, but I’ve long since left behind fans who make their entire relationship with the franchise about how bad X or Y is. Its exhausting.

For sure. Nobody hates Star Trek more than Star Trek fans.

I appreciate that he managed to make both Star Trek and Star Wars fans very angry. That took serious skill.

You can take my steamtroller when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Fucking love that thing. Not just for gaming either, couch computing is all possible via the steamtroller. LOVE IT.

Adafruit was rolling through runs of ~70 per day for a while. First come first served. Dunno if they still are. I’d suggest setting up a stock alert with them.

I snagged one for my Beepy. They were so strict about scalpers they made me set up 2fa so they could verify my account.

All mac computer lab (rev a/b iMacs), locked down with foolproof. No problem; bring a zip drive and boot from it by holding down option at startup. Use resedit to edit the extension for foolproof and remove all its resources. Extension no longer works.

Reboot into a completely unrestricted finder. Good times.
