After what happened in the last few episodes the GOT ending is in my opinion .

Star vs The Forces of Evil had its final episode and it was a huge convolution of mediocrity and not satisfying plot points. I loved the series, especially in the beginning but the last season was part really cool and part a kiwi show. With the last episode in mind most was irrelevant.

@adiwan I still haven't seen the full first season. I did see Ned die. Maybe a bit after that. Kinda muddled, because I read the books to a point, too.

@scribus Now you have the opportunity to binge watch EVERYTHING at once with no interruption or hiatuses (hiati?). It'll be only take about 3 days straight!

TIL how most adults deal with finances in a 4 step program
1 : Never check bank balance
2: Pretend everything is fine
3: Live in constant state of fear
4: Repeat

I'm extremely frustrated. I have to dumb down my VR training program a lot more than I already have. I'm told that people shouldn't be allowed to drop grabbed items. I mean WTF! They take out all the fun of flinging items around. Also all the dynamic things I've built in should be gone. "Only activate the items that are immediately needed at the moment of the procedure!".

@adiwan I am afraid that I am having a hard time to put 1 and 2 together here.
-
@drinkingpony Simple: I program a program such that people can gain knowledge of a procedure with this program. They interact (although very crudely) with the program and will be guided at each step of the procedure with a narrated text and helpful highlighting of objects. A VR training has the advantage that it can be trained everywhere (where VR headsets are available) and it doesn't disturb the production line. In the case of the robot arm entering the working area of the robot arm shuts it off completely and the production halts.
Why is the industry worse: They don't know what they want and if they say what they want it's usually worse. HEY LET'S GAMIFY IT! >Just a simple highscore list sorted by completion time in its "hardest" difficulty (no guidance with highlighted objects or narration). But what kills me is that they want to use the hard coded steps from the guided difficulties instead of offering more interaction freedom (all objects can be picked up and dropped everywhere) -
@adiwan Oh, ehh. That sounds a lot like people who never even held a controller and make them design their own controller. That or play Sekiro, not sure which is the more hilarious thing to imagine.
I am afraid that without going into any details I can not imagine how hard it is to deliver on such a weird thing.
Though I would have probably given up a long time ago and instead just tried to make a miniature replica and let people 'do the thing' on that thing.
Or... maybe... try to use this thing somehow ? http://rainbowdash.net/url/874441

Someone took over my TV soundbar. I operate it via optical cable and I didn't think that bluetooth would be on all the time. A person blasted bad music (hip hop) through my speakers. I had to turn it quickly off and look into the manual how to lock the bluetooth functionality.

@drinkingpony LG SK8. I bought that one because I have a LG TV and it sounds OK. I'm not an audiophile but it's completely alright. Better than the thin TV's squeaky speakers. It's a 2.1 system and it is sufficient for me. A surround system would be nice but laying down the cables and finding a place for the rear speakers is too much hassle for me.
-
@drinkingpony My soundbar doesn't speak to me. However I'm intrigued to look into Google Home.

@adiwan and gummy bears, and coca cola lids, and taffee, and cookies, and cupcakes, and sushi, and soft pretzels, and banana & Peanutbutter, and yoghurt, and ( melted ) ice cream, and Starmix, Heck I once exited the cinema with almost a complete pizza stuck under there.
... I am no longer fans of such places... -
@drinkingpony One time, I had a small child stuck to my boots!
-
@scribus ... Intentionally ? I mean the underside of my shoes get awfully sticky at such places, and sometimes you just want to make sure the noizemakers stop by kicking the noizemakers.
"I swear I did not know it was a child, I thought it was someone with Dwarfism. Why would you take someone of about 12 to the Wolf of Wall Street ?"
Heheh, my imagination is running overtime now.

i know Oblivion is thirteen years old but I legitimately don't know how anyone can prefer this piece of banana to Skyrim, everything in Oblivion is contrived and Cyrodill is the most boring game world I've ever played in

@drinkingpony I think for the most part, in Skyrim you install mods and make videos set to Benny Hill music? I have never played.

@drinkingpony myself? 100% all quests.... i uh. It took me years. Many years. Same for Fallout 3.
-
@firestormdangerdash Hmm, I actually liked Fallout 3. You play as an ordinary vault dweller, nothing special and you are going to do great things. Then when you played the game a few times you realize that the game is quite lineair and ruggid at its lineairness. It is nothing like Fallout 1 or 2, but still enjoyable. Then New Vegas happened and that was great as well, more options, more guns, factions, it felt more 'alive' with deathclaws being actually deadly. Still pretty lineair but really enjoyable with multiple branches to take leading to the ends of the game.
And then Fallout 4 happened, just what went wrong in the creative process I will never know but for the love of gaming, that game is more lineair than an original Doom level is flat. Only being able to say either "Yes" , "Not now", "Sarcastic yes" or "inquire to more information" on all quest NPC's. Might as well have been a book. And that is exactly how I feel about TES 4 and 5. Flat.

Chinese Nintendo Switch adjustable charging stand. Minor repair was needed when I got it. Took a picture while my soldering iron was heating up. I can't help but wonder how similar the official one looks on the inside. No really, I can not find a teardown of that thing. http://rainbowdash.net/url/874404

@adiwan Nice find, but no, I was looking for this product http://rainbowdash.net/url/874407
Not this product http://rainbowdash.net/url/874408 -
@drinkingpony Ah. I strongly believe that the official one is as dumb as this Chinese copy of yours. The current and voltage is just passed trough 1:1 from one connector to the other. I don't think that the stand has to regulate anything or do any kind of processing. 25€ for that thing is way too overpriced and should cost 1/10th of that.
-
@adiwan Agreed, you can litterally achieve the same with a USB C hook connector and the cheapest tablet stand you can find.But that does not make me any less curious regarding and I still would like to see a picture of the official stand's internals.
"But it is Nintendo's official product and it just looks good" - a fanboy
Look, I am not saying you should not get it, I just expect more than just a fancy looking passthrough of GND, VBUS, CC and USB 2.0 data channels on something that would cost 25 Euro's and has USB type C. What for ? Well, Idunno really, but I am sure there is someone out there who would prefer to play with an XboX controller while in handheld mode and charging at the same time.

@adiwan He is now, but I remember some backlash when he was introduced. Personally, I was just sick of new spider-folk, which I have since recanted. Spider-Verse ruled!!
-
@scribus Hm. I agree that there are too many spider-themed super heroes at Marvel. Regular Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Spider Gwen, Silk, British Spider Man... There was a comic event with all of the spider people but I didn't care to read it. The recent Spider-Verse movie was splendid. I quite enjoyed it.
-
@adiwan Spider-Woman is kind of weird, too. Isn't she more about something like the "Web" of Fate, or something?
