  1. @scribus Is there a sequel named "Spaceship Up"?

  2. Win or Lose on Disney+ is great so far.

  3. @zeldatra It is probably the most "straight-forward" story of the franchise. It is still convoluted to a degree but it is simple enough. It is not my favorite story but it was still highly enjoyable.

  4. Not only was I getting late to bet but at 3 AM I was rudely woken up by my neighbor because she has forgotten her keys and I have a spare one for emergencies. Yeah... It was kinda one. Yet I am mad that my whole day is gone to crap because I'm too tired to do anything and can't go to sleep again.

  5. @scribus With added safety function! Once I had winter shoes with steel reinforcement in the toe area but I highly disliked them. It made me realize how inflexible they are. The way I walk is pretty much incompatible with those.

  6. My pirate Majima was basically the default but with Yakuza 0 hair. My Hawaii Majima was the default but with black dress trousers and his signature steel-tipped shoes.

  7. I finished the game!!! 34 hours. I need sleep.

  8. This game has me question my sanity, or lack thereof.

  9. Oh god. Starting chapter 3 at 22 hours. At least I finished the side adventure.

  10. I addictively played the game for 8 hours straight with minor pauses to grab a snack and go to the toilet. It is just past midnight here and I am almost mad because I'm too tired to continue and have to work tomorrow.

  11. @zeldatra Yeah. I had to look up a few times. Thankfully Steam displayed the remaining hours until release. I had prealoaded it yesterday, however minutes after the official release it wasn't able to start because my Steam client wasn't aware of the release. A restart of the client fixed it.

  12. It's unhinged one-eyed man time!

  13. The preload has begun. In 18 hours my free time will be occupied only by Majima.

  14. Next time I copy something and 3d-model it I will also 3d-model the part that is meant for. I had to scrap a few prints too many because I was too dumb to notice that the correction I wanted to make was made in the wrong direction. Instead of closing a gap of 3mm I widened the gap by that amount.

  15. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney+ is pretty decent. The 3D-cell-shaded look is odd at times but over all it works well enough.

    Wednesday, 19-Feb-25 10:03:51 UTC from web
  16. @zeldatra Yeah, me too. The main reason I didn't ordered earlier was that I was short on money, and then I wasn't sure if it runs at all.

  17. Preordered the upcoming Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. I'm such a RGG simp.

  18. My leather phone case broke. More precisely the plastic parts broke. The plastic was disintegrating for a while now but it broke catastrophically in half. I'm glad I have some basic CAD skills. I already 3d-printed the first prototype but I mis-measured a few dimensions because it was hard to reach them with the calipers. Some other dimensions on the other hand were wrong just because I was dumb.

  19. Was at the funeral of my grandfather (mother's side) this weekend. I'm not sad. He barely moved because of pain and was weak all-around. It didn't help that he got his 7th heart-attack/stroke in his life-time. My grandmother he has left has severe dementia and has forgotten the day after that the funeral happened. She was stubborn to take any medication that could slow down that process in the past years. When things go the way they are currently the next funeral could happen this year.

  20. @scribus me too. I was in the middle lane. I had plenty of room and I didn't have anyone around me.

  21. I almost crashed my car. I was driving on the Autobahn while it was heavily snowing. There was so much snow that snow was piling up and it was only feasible to drive in the tracks of the other cars. I got caught up in the side of the tyre tracks and was skidding and slipping left and right so much I almost spin out. Luckily my experiences with racing games could avoid that by steering against the skidding direction.

  22. @zeldatra For some reason I stumble upon reviews of those emulation machines and even now they are not always delivering the proper performance to even run NES games at a smooth performance. PS2 games, even PS1 and Dreamcast are a joke. There are only few exceptions where they run well enough for an enjoyable experience. The famiclone I had in the 90s was a weird "handheld" one. It was a big black "Game Gear"-like case without a screen that plugged directly into a AC/DC adaptor and it needed to be connected with a RF coax cable to the TV. It really sucked as over time both power and TV plugs on it got loose.

  23. Children should play a bootleg console at least once in their lives. A good 'ol famiclone. A NES on a chip or anything that promises 99999999 games in one but they are repeats or just start at a different level. This kind of disappointment and wonder is a unique brew of an experience that is both cheap and rich in questionable fun. A lie with an upside. Bonus points if they are actually rom hacks with the weirdest promises.

  24. @scribus Toner and ink cartridge manufacturers are probably close behind.

  25. @scribus I think of Avatar The Last Airbender series first, then Ultima.

    Saturday, 08-Feb-25 14:55:44 UTC from web in context
  26. Whenever I read "Avatar" I'm always disappointed when it is about James Cameron's crap.

  27. Having cold sweats and the feeling of fainting because gas accumulated in the bowels is probably the worst and most embarrassing way to feel ill.

  28. I'm far from being fat. It shocked me that the belt buckle of my belt broke. It broke from material fatigue. The part that broke was in particular that what is attached to the leather belt. I practically wore the belt for over 4 years, almost daily. Luckily it happened at home. It'd have been embarrassing anywhere else.

  29. I HATE GOING TO IKEA. I wanted to buy their pegboard for some organization. Especially there are tons of 3d-printable stuff for that and it is reasonably cheap. However the way to, being at, and the way from IKEA is dreadful. Too many people. Too many cars. Too many people without who are absent-minded. It took half an hour longer than needed in an ideal situation.

  30. @zeldatra Free airplane parts to build a sick airplane simulator.
