Wondering if there are any fellow bronies/MLP fans in Montreal, since I can't travel out of Montreal.

We Baby Bears is a bit disappointing and I cannot point out why. I only watched two episodes so far. During that time I haven't felt the special laid-back appeal of We Bare Bears (even the baby bears episodes). We Baby Bears are using a very imaginative plot device having the bears using a box transporting the bears to fantasy worlds. Also the animation style seems to give some off vibes as well as the fact that Ice Bear speaks. The show is not bad but it doesn't connect with me as well as the old show did.

I've plowed through, what feels like, 9000 lines of code and did some reformatting and minor improvements. So like there were some parts where a list of data was filtered and then the first element was selected but it could be improved using the same filter function and abort it at the first element. There were also plenty of code paths that could have been potentially crash-worthy where a uninitialized object could slip through and cause an exception and crash. The next step is to analyze the whole code base and make some abstractions and refactor the code for better readability. It's truly a mess, as if it were written by a novice or someone who gives a cherry.

Hm... Microsoft bought Activision for almost $69 billion dollars. I hope that the working conditions for the programmers improve a lot.

@scribus funny thing about that: our fresh truck came in finally and the dry shelves have been fully stocked for weeks, no idea where the media is getting those photos of bare shelves in the DC area

@zeldatra I've seen a couple of bare shelves out here, but I suspect a lot of the news photos come after-hours or something.

"The House" on Netflix was an interesting watch. Watch it only if you are in the mood for something depressing. It's an anthology containing 3 stories around a house but these stories aren't connected beyond the appearance of that house. Plot-wise it's a little shallow whereas it banks on mood and emotions and being allegorical in nature. The stopmotion animation and miniature work was nonetheless very good. I'd rate it a 6/10 with a stronger emphasis on the looks than on the rest. Depending on how you can connect with the stories it might be more a 7.5/10.

I think I have a relatively clean English pronunciation. I hate when the speech recognition thinks I meant "13 minutes" instead of said "30 minutes". Better this way than the other way around but still it's a bother.

The Eternals movie was a dud. The actors were all good but the plot and direction were my main issues. Good that I didn't waste my money going to the cinema for that.

Senator Kaine lives in Richmond and takes I-95 to work. Took him 26 hours to get to the Capitol building. Richmond to DC is ordinarily a 3 hour drive, it’s a drive I make constantly. 26 hours.

Third time in a row that Amazon just cancelled a pre-order for a book. I pre-ordered some books half a year ago and right on the day the book should have been delivered it's cancelled out of nowhere with the claim that Amazon cannot get the books. I had to order these from the comic shop for about a 5€ higher price. I like to support my comic shops and I order tons of comics there but man I want also save some money fueling my comic addiction.

I tasted wine and it gave me the impression of vinegar.
I tasted champagne and it gave me the impression of very stingy vinegar.
I tasted beer and it gave me the impression of half-digested and thrown-up bread.
I tasted mead and it gave me the impression of acetone.
I tasted vodka and it gave me the sensation of a burning esophagus.
I think alcohol will never be a thing I can enjoy like any normal person. I am not sad about it. I'm just curious why it is as it is.about 22 days ago from web-
@scribus I have not. I've tried some variants like OJ with vodka. At this point I just give up.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Windows Edition is making me think about how much better Kingdom Hearts could be. The character switching mechanic in particular would make battles feel a lot less like you’re just mashing A for twenty minutes, and it’d be especially fitting post-III where there are now two trios of Keyblade wielders (plus Kairi)

Damn found out on my bro's discord server that my hs gf's husband and son both have breakthrough covid infections
about a month ago from web-
@scribus I may or may not have had COVID over Christmas, couldn’t get tested though because no appointments were open. Whatever I did have is gone now so I guess it’s moot now, but I’m one of the only people at work who didn’t get a booster shot and the other one who didn’t was out sick before and after me, so it’s an easy conclusion to come to.
-
@zeldatra Ex GF reports 65% of people at her Xmas are now infected, with the boosted faring the best so far. Shame is, it's a total bone trying to get the booster. My grandma was told by her doctor that the earliest appointment was February; then, at Walgreen's, the guy in line behind her asked the cashier about boosters and she jumped in on the spot, no waiting! I got mine, no appointment, from the CVS in Target, but my brother went to (a different) Walgreen's even with no line, and was told to make an appointment.

@scribus I am actually, no joke, getting accusations of racism thrown at me because I think Disney’s movies are all stylistically samey now, which really says a lot at how starved for representation we, as Latinos, are, that we feel obligated to FrankerZiate a less than perfect film with Latinos in it because we think it’s the best we’re ever gonna get.
-
@zeldatra Man, that's exactly what They're hoping for, for everyone "else" to be content with scraps and crumbs, why give it to them on a digital blue platter? ugh

Disney always make films that are perfect. Like Song of the South, Black Cauldron, The Wild, Planes, Chicken Little, and Home on the Range, and many more.

about a month ago from web-
@scribus If you have the discs, yes. If not, there are no legal ways to get it digitally at ALL anymore. EA took it off of Origin because they were no longer supporting it and only previous owners can download it. For a while there was a product code you could put in to trigger a download but I think k it’s been taken off now.
-
@zeldatra Damn. It seems that if I can source a pre-2012 disc for Sims 3 (2009 release) I can play without Origin, but I don't know if the expansions will just put me back in the same place :-/
-
@scribus I have the Steam version of The Sims 3 with all the expansions that didn’t require Origin. Ben a while since I’ve played it though so I dunno if they changed the requirements.

Petition to classify vaporware as a cryptid
about a month ago from web-
@scribus I'd imagine more a creature that affects people/corporations to become greedy with ambitions that results in vaporware. I imagine a millipede and snake hybrid (tail end rattle snake, body millipede, head snake with fangs) with large bug antennae with floofy balls at the ends. The cryptid uses the floofy balls to distract the victim and hide its hideous body and then bits the victim at the back of the head. The fangs inject some kind of venom that causes the feature creep/greed, which itself causes headaches and frustration. That is the nourishment it needs to asexually reproduce itself and affect others in the company.
-
@scribus As any good cryptid should be. A hideous creepy crawler that "explains" a bad thing in life and that multiplies itself by inflicting more of the bad thing.
