  1. @drinkingpony I feel like primarying a Senator who votes with Trump 75% of the time in a state where Trump-like candidates tend to lose elections by double digits can only lead to good things

  3. @drinkingpony I went in to give my side of the story shortly after posting that, the investigation’s over now. I urged them to check the cameras but they were able to close it just on the merits of my unprepared story (I was caught pretty much off-guard when I came into work this morning) just lined up better than the customer’s story, which I’m sure he rehearsed to himself over and over before he came in.

  7. @drinkingpony Not quite storyboards, but I was determining enemy HP based on how many hits of what tier weapon you should have and mentally counting down ammo to get a feel for boss fights, then tweaking item drop rates to ensure you just barely get by. It's really just fields of monster names with gradually ascending numbers besides them.

  8. @drinkingpony I was supposed to receive mine today but the delivery person is an asshole and didn't do their job.

  9. @drinkingpony There is no un-lick in life, unfortunately. You just have to live the rest of your life knowing that taste...

  18. @drinkingpony Hell, noone is going to read that. the TL;DR version is that 3th parties can not work as intended when the established big-shots are polarised around a handfull of topics.

    And in most other democratic focussed countries you have many smaller political parties that have to huddle around and negociate with one-another untill they have formed a coalition or opposition.

    Both systems have flaws.

    The Internet just served for one thing, to make it more apparent, but noone is closer to a sollution. Politics is way too grounded in tradition to change with anything other than revolutions.

  19. @drinkingpony I have no opinion on a guy who was President twenty years before I was born.

  20. @drinkingpony Wow, you understand it? I mean, I've accepted it as a fact and all, but I've never been able to wrap my head around the insanities of the American gen pop. I guess at least the Dems do try, but I'd rather see them split into the Moderate and the Progressive parties, get Green going a little better, maybe let the Libertarians replace the GOP, and add a real-deal Socialist party. This "coin-toss democracy" is a crotch.

  21. @drinkingpony The current Democratic front-runner, Obama’s Vice President, is running on a platform slightly to the left of Obama’s 2008 platform. I would still call him center-right.

  22. @drinkingpony You don't seem to grok how ultra-conservative the US conservatives are, an American "liberal" can still totally be (and all too often is) still pretty damned right-of-center on a global scale.

  23. @drinkingpony The first Japanese release had it implemented in hardware. Very quickly it went away by emulating that in software and then altogether. Also the flash card readers were gone faster than anyone noticed that it even existed. When I bought my used PS3 I tried to open the flap to the reader until I realized that the amount of force I put onto the plastic was unreasonable and figured out that it was removed after the first revisions.

  24. @drinkingpony Instead of 'new' you can use 'hardware update' or 'revision'. Nintendo (and all other gaming console manufacturers) always made updates of their hardware to make it better (lower production costs, increase reliability...). Although the worst revisions were those of the original Wii, first revision had no gamecube support, and then the Wii Mini got rid off all internet features. For instance game controllers have the most revisions and they are all hidden. I've opened a dozen of PS2 controllers and only few pairs of controllers were from the same revision. Even the rather simple SNES controller has at least 3 different variants.

  25. @drinkingpony Compliant and flexible mechanics are cool and have a lot of benefits (like not totally destroying everything on a failure like a fall) but in this case of a load-bearing mechanism plastic is rubbish and cheaper to produce. The Switch Lite only exists to cut costs and increase the yield and profit.

  26. @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.

  28. @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.

  29. @drinkingpony Life finds a way... also (automated) content filtering isn't flawless and manual review is costly. Honestly I haven't tried to discover new content on tumblr for a long time (longer than 2 years).

  30. @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.
