@thelastgherkin Well met.... Lol

OK.... Tears of the Kingdom... What does "tears" refer to? Is it the liquid coming out of the eyes (for example while crying) or is it the edge of two pieces of a material/object that has been ripped apart (for example tearing a piece of paper in two pieces)?
Friday, 12-May-23 13:18:20 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Aaah... So it is not derived from the German word "Tier" (plural "Tiere"), which means "animal".

@scribus Good lord I wish, the previous game indirectly mentioned the events of Twilight Princess exactly one time and that seems to be the only acknowledgment Nintendo is willing to give that game.

next time something like NFTs drops that could make me a ton of money but is ethically unsound, could somebody please let me know before you tell everyone else so that I can get in early and when the whole thing explodes I can be like “damn they hired death squads in WHICH developing nation? Oh man I didn’t know my bad dude” and run off with the money while publicly taking a stand against whatever terrible thing I’ve been complicit in

@adiwan I'm always torn between actually having a conscience and wondering if it's already too late until it actually is too late

@scribus Yeah. I think the same of the stock exchange. It's a huge and legal gambling machine.

@adiwan See, that's why I just goto Vegas. They're honest about fleecing you, and sometimes you get a free buffet!!

*by overworld, I of course mean Hyrule. The area you spend the first bit of the game in is also an overworld.

Ooof... The new Youtube redesign of the browser-side interface is awful.
I wanted to read some comments and scrolled down but it was greeted with more video recommendations. The comments were like on mobile tablet where they popped up on the side upon clicking a special button to reveal comments. I saw this redesign only once. Apparently it was very temporary as I haven't seen it since. I'm not very hopeful it will stay that way.Tuesday, 02-May-23 08:18:17 UTC from web -

@scribus People who think they value freedom of speech actually hate the freedom of speech of others.
-
@scribus no vandalism at my store yet but it’s coming I think, a group of Trumpers came in last week and stole literally every newspaper reporting on his arrest so they could trash it before anyone could read it so I’m expecting those same guys to try some apple with the Bud Light too
-
@scribus The masterminds at Budweiser came up with the perfect evil plan: if you don't buy it you're a somethingphobe, if you buy it you have to drink Bud Light. With this masterful move, they can cause suffering to all peoples of the nation.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon - 40 hours in and I'm at chapter 11.
Monday, 10-Apr-23 20:36:25 UTC from web-
@scribus 15 Chapter. The length of a chapter is rather uneven. The later chapters in a yakuza game are longer when trying to get most of the sidestories. I expect it to take 15 hours to finish.

@zeldatra NES games are region locked. You need your console modded to play PAL games on NTSC consoles or vice-versa.

@zeldatra Lemme know how it feels to not need to scope the exits and cover opportunities for every building you enter

@scribus Downtown London is crazy man, kids in the suburbs were getting off school, came to the city on a train, and were just wandering about buying sweets with their allowances, never would’ve dreamed of doing that when I was a kid (I mean, mostly because the Washington metro didn’t hit my hometown until I was 25, but still…

I was reading Dilbert from 2004 to 2009-ish. The content was more recycled than the paper it was printed on. I definitely stopped after Scott Adams did something stupid as well around that time, I don't know what it was anymore. Also he said some anti-vax stuff in regards to Covid-19 and was also favorable to Trump. The recent outburst of racism is barely surprising.

My search for a house is not going forward. As I thought I got one my banker told me the house ain't worth the asking price. The banker's estimate is too far off for getting a credit. He was right in hindsight as further investment would be needed to get it anywhere worthwile. It was a house from the 60s and not much has been done there. Also currently all houses on the market are overpriced as the interest rates jumped up and the houses on offer are needing a lot of TLC.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game because I just robbed two trains and took hundreds of dollars of cash and valuables, and the game still considers me a decently honorable guy, but my friend killed a domesticated duck for its pelt and he is literally Satan.

@zeldatra In Yakuza the protagonist is accused of murder but didn't do it. On the other hand in the actual game he breaks spines left and right, shoots people, jams a broken bottle into the abdomen, piledrive a person head first into the concrete floor. It's ok because after the fight they are shown to be alive but bruised.

@adiwan I’ve been playing through Yakuza Kiwami, haha. It’s my other favorite game right now.

The house will require a lot of work, like new electric wiring, new windows, and a new heating system as it is required here to replace a gas heater every 30 years and it is a few years until retirement. I'll replace it with something 100% electric and a heat pump and install solar panels on the roof.

@scribus Don't worry about that. Any ghost that decides to stay will get permanent spiritual damage by my presence alone. My awkward nerdyness and pony merch will ward them off.

I'm gonna be a home owner soon. Crippling debt yeah!
Thursday, 19-Jan-23 17:40:07 UTC from web-
@scribus About half my income will be just for repaying the debt and the rest is for getting it to a proper shape and comics. I guess I'll starve.
It's not that bad but the next few years will be rough for sure. At least I will be able to sleep and have my peace and quiet.

Got my tires yesterday and put them on my bike today. As it turns out, and as obvious it is in hindsight, the culprit for the puncture was a tiny rock. A rock as pointy as a needle and as black as the tire. I could only find it by guesstimating the location by the puncture location on the hose and then pushing really hard into the spot on the tire. The rock has dug into the rubber and I couldn't see it on my first inspection.

@scribus In a way I was very lucky that the little piece of Potato Knishes was found in the first place and it didn't got me stranded far away from home. I was lucky that it happened close to home. I have a small set of stairs a few meters in front of my cellar. There I pull my bicycle down so it bounces on the edge of the steps. Just as I opened my cellar door my bike fell on its own (it was on its kickstand) and there I found the flat. Moments before I could cycle and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, i.e. I had full pressure in the hose (between 4 and 5 bar).

Barely a day has passed and I got a flat on the same tire.

My 15 year old monitor died yesterday. It "displays" something. Backlight works but the fault is somewhere on the mainboard between the actual screen and the end of image processing. The display cannot even show the OSD properly. As it appears it will be covered by black lines and then it turns into a bright pillar from top to bottom (where the text would be). I just won an auction on ebay for a cheap replacement monitor of the same model. Why? It's 16:10 IPS, has tons of inputs, and it was cheap. 45€ with shipping. Also I cannot afford a brand-spanking-new one.

I'm doing an anti-"No Shave November". Usually I shave myself every two weeks but this month I try to shave daily or every other day. My verdict so far: Daily shaving is not worth it as my beard grows so fast that I can feel the stubbles after an hour after the shave. Waxing my face is not an option.
Wednesday, 16-Nov-22 08:45:40 UTC from web-
@scribus Yeah. Even with an electric razor it's not very feasible to shave every day because of skin irritation. Honestly I rather prefer not to have a beard at all and would want a permanent hair follicle removal but the risk of scarring my skin on the face is too high.

"Those lazy, lazy leaves"! I was taking the scenic route from shopping through the park and there I slid in a corner and fell. I lost all tyre grip because a brown and slimy moist pile of leaves in the curve acted like it's the best replacement for grease in that moment. Luckily there was not much damage. My pants got dirty, a scratch on my knee, and the side of my pedal was heavily scratched.

Made myself a mudflap for my bicycle. I could buy one but all the ones for purchase are way too small for what I think I need. Mine reaches further down and is wider in the hopes it will catch more dirt and preventing all that dirt flinging on my shoes and pants.
Monday, 31-Oct-22 15:25:27 UTC from web-
@adiwan I used some leftover PVC tarp, 3d printed a small decorative clamping piece that clamps the tarp flap to the mud guard, a M3 screw, two washers, a M3 locknut. I found some mud flaps similar in size online but mine was basically 1€ in costs, including the misprints.

I-66 coming out of Washington had a bunch of construction being done on it tonight which meant I couldn’t get into any of the exits leading home. The result is that I had to drive through the dying rural part of Northern Virginia to get home. Two lanes, one in each direction, on a winding, narrow, wooded road in a “The Hills Have Eyes” looking area, critters everywhere, ominous glimpses of dilapidated ranch-style homes with pickups and Trump 2024 signage, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any spookier, a decapitated deer laying in a pool of its own blood that I had to avoid running over. Jordan Peele couldn’t have depicted a more uncomfortable drive.
