@tiff Easy. My recommendations : Untitled Goose Game, LoZ Link's Awakening, Stardew Valley, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Rogue Legacy, Shovel Knight, Civilization 6, Undertale, Cuphead, The Megaman collections ( all 4 )
Couch multiplayer recommendations : Go Vacation, Nidhogg 2, Broforce, , Bomberman, Worms W.M.D, Overcooked 2 ( in order of difficulty ) Oh and the usual mario mario mario stuff.
I kinda still want Kitty 3D mario on the Switch. No idea what its official name was.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Red Dead Redemption 2, a game which came out on PC two weeks ago, runs better at high settings on my PC than GTA IV, a game which came out in 2009, runs at medium.

I'm a fool. I bought and read the first two volumes of the Ranma ½ manga because it was super cheap on sale and I was curious. I think I like it?

@drinkingpony I forgot the sub-plot that everyone is a gamer because of phone game they play while on the toilet. ( a disgusting habit that should die ).
And everyone is a social media connoisseur because everyone is browsing Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, or 4Chan ( Yes, They know ! ) while in boring boardroom meetings.
It is a REALLY cringe commercial they put on busstops somewhere last summer.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -

@scribus To be honest: my regular comics contain more tiddies per page than Ranma ½, like Rat Queens or Saga

One of the people over here is being unusually... well... this http://rainbowdash.net/url/875325 to me
Only instead of "Better than you" it is "I can buy it cheaper than you"
All because a parcel containing a couple games was delivered within his earshot.

I literally just had to drop everything and rush to work on my day off to fix an alarm that nobody knew how to fix

@mrmattimation I should put you in touch with my buddy at Rite-Aid
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@mrmattimation Hey at least your co-workers at least got annoyed by that alarm I reckon.
Mine called me up on a Sunday afternoon because they could not find the thermostat. Then even with my directions they could not find the damned device. So I went there just to show them where the thermostat was. They all thought it was an alarm so they did not wanted to touch it, and then I got into trouble for showing up at work smelling and looking like a drunk hobo.
It's Sunday woman ! Get off of my back, I am not even supposed to be here !
But at least those will be the fun stories to tell around the campfire.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Why are lasers so expensive? I just want a 5500mW laser engraver without spending about 100€.

@adiwan made me think of https://youtu.be/Bh7bYNAHXxw?t=24
Also I am afraid that you can not even find a 3000 mW laser engraver marchine without spending at least the better part of a 100
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony There are full machines available that have a 40W CO2 laser for about 300€. Maybe I think about getting a 500mW laser for 30€ but it doesn't have a power supply (12V) but I guess I have one somewhere in the attic.

@drinkingpony I'm glad none of that shows up on my dashboard, however discovering new content through tags or the "explore" page was a huge gamble as well. Twitter is not exempt of that too. I was browsing the VR tag and there were an uncomfortable amount of porn. I'm avoiding looking for new stuff in social media.

@drinkingpony apparently that's only the digital version of the game so no
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@tiff I am sorry to say that, no, it affects both the digital and the physical game releases ( physical being the Nintendo Switch Cartridges ). Most 'crashes' have seemingly occurred while the game attempted to quicksave, and it is currently under fan/hacker-dom invesigation what is going on. Currently it seems to point straight towards a well known issue with Ninendo Switch's Operating System in combination with using ExFat instead of Fat32 on your SDcard. ( which has been known for at least 15 months if you follow a certain GitHub trail )
I expect that Nintendo was hesistant to 'fix' this since it was more likely that hackers and homebrewers were near infinitely more likely to run into Fat32's [4 GB minus 2 bytes ] maximum individual file limit. Not to mention straight up pirates.
Regardless, it is a problem.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony The MLP episode of The Toys That Made Us on Netflix. There was only a brief segment about the male demographic of MLP fans. It was a bit cringy. Could have been definitely be worse. I flinched only twice during that.

People made a petition to present to the White House trying to stop the sales of Pokemon Sword and Shield ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875318 )
Well, joke's on them. I'm already playing it.
It is a pokemon game alright, I can see why everyone is angry, I can also see why I am not that bothered by everything. Oh do not get me wrong, I would not mind to see GameFreak to go down in the ratings like a couple of big names before ( cough, Blizzard/Activision, cough, Bethesda, cough, Zynga ).

Imagine having made a piece of software in 1995 and just finding out there was a website up until 2015 that sold it as part of a package deal. Aparently there were about 10 packages sold per week ( on average ) in the final 3 years.
I do not even really remember what it was. My best guess would be Pythagoras or Lobbing virtualisation in a bad ( but easily programmable in size though a TXT ) square pixel by pixel raster.Thursday, 14-Nov-19 10:18:57 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.
