@ceruleanspark Thoughts on fallout 76?
Friday, 30-Nov-18 01:19:33 UTC from web-
@nerthos There are AI enemies, just no NPC humans. It's kind of a man vs. nature sort of thing in that every AI that you DO encounter is usually a wild animal (or a busted robot). There's the usual stuff, there are feral ghouls, super mutants, robots, deathclaws, mole rats, etc. etc., but then there's also some new ones. Scorched are ghouls that are in between feralism and still having some semblance of brain activity, so they don't communicate verbally but they can use guns. Mole Miners hang out in the coal mines and I THINK they're people that have gone mad? I'm not sure, the game's really ambiguous about what they actually are, and you can't see what's underneath their masks. Scorched Beasts are, uh, really buff dragons. The closest thing I've seen to an actual NPC is a supercomputer who reads poetry to you, and I want to put her AI into a synth body and marry her.

After years of running this place, I thought I’d seen every way a Linux machine could collapse, but once again, my work has shown me another level of “how did this even happen”. I have a machine at work which is suddenly incapable of any function involving cryptography, including but not limited to: allowing SSH access and serving pages over HTTPS

@ceruleanspark Is it maybe a hardware failure, like the specific dedicated core burned out on the machine?

Wow that's a real blast from the past. Someone is once again, trying to break into my Minecraft account

@ceruleanspark I do miss the crowd here from the past. When the timeline would actually be alive. When there was a defiant "RDN2" group on Skype.

Choosing furniture is agony.

@scribus Yes you have stores like that. When it comes to big furniture (couches) you'll have to wait for that because it has to be manufactured on demand. That can take from 6 to 12 weeks.

@adiwan Germany has no existing stock of couches? They've all gotta be made to order?
-
@ceruleanspark It depends on the store. Some have a little bit of stock (or the stuff on the show floor). But mostly it is made on demand.

@mrmattimation It's worth noting that humans can only actually see like, 5 moving things at once, tops, before the brain starts employing various shortcuts to reduce processing time.

i think my roommate is gay but i don’t think he trusts me enough to let me know. should i bring that up eventually or just leave it be, because i don’t want him to like suppress something about himself around me because he thinks he’d make me uncomfortable (he wouldn’t)

@mrmattimation just keep eating the most phallic foodstuffs you can find in the most erotic ways possible and see how flustered he gets.

Final Space is worth watching if you've got netflix, incidentally.

@ceruleanspark I do believe TBS is or once was a channel....
-
@ceruleanspark TBS is indeed the network it was on. It was supposed to be part of an original animated block with a Louis C.K. show and J.G. Quintel’s new show. Louis C.K.’s show was cancelled for obvious reasons, Quintel’s is the Half-Life 3 of animated television and no news on it has been released in a while, so Final Space just ended up being part of their usual lineup with the other remaining animated show on the block.

Why didn't Thanos just double the amount of resources in the universe?

@ceruleanspark Because children are the most precious resource and that would just launch a downward spiral.

@adiwan Matter of fact, I have my NES still hooked up with the RF box on an HD TV and it's not noticable to me. I wonder if my cheap TV actually has integrated some kind of fix or other....

For the people who care about federation (Probably just @nerthos and @awl) I have no idea why it isn’t working. This is actually a new server, at a new hosting provider and a functionally fresh install of RDN’s version of statusnet. So unless DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, or the other instances themselves are blocking us (or them), there’s no particular reason why it *shouldn’t* work.

@nerthos Highly competent.

@scribus Certainly one of the funnier lolcows if you don't actually have to deal with him.

@scribus They’re the end result of a 40 year campaign by what is essentially state run media (or to be more accurate, a media run state) to overturn the previous referendum we had on joining the EU in the first place. Turns out it’s really easy to gaslight a populace when you spend decades ensuring they’ll never have the tools required to verify your claims.
-
@ceruleanspark it’s like the independentists took a page from the Bolsheviks who started that campaign in the ruins of the Russian empire

@ceruleanspark Boy oh boy am I glad America won't ever face a problem like that.
