Well I'm trying to do a House-aligned playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas, but I very really truly hate him and the terrible asshole things he says :-/
Sunday, 23-Feb-25 20:07:17 UTC from web-
@scribus Interesting, he's my favourite faction to side with on the grounds of pragmatism, he's the only one with a plan (and the actual capability to make it happen) to make humanity go anywhere other than "we'll just be hobos in perpetuity"
He might not be incredibly likable, but in a survival scenario that's irrelevant. -
@nerthos Yeah, I want to not hate him - I mean, a retro-future spaceVegas? Hell, yeah!! He's not even that unlikable, there's a wry sort of amusement to his bearing. But he's too egocentric; he's not preserving humanity, he's feeding his ego and seeking to create a thrallhood underclass to prop HIM up. Ultimately, I don't consider him sufficiently distinct from Caesar. Both cling to old-world ideals and play up some fantasy of the "inevitability" of "their" power. So, I kill him, take his city, and in my mind carry on with developing the space plans in a little more cooperative, ground-up fashion. (Though in all honesty a spacefaring future would be just as hellish as the vaults so iunno w/e i guess lol) Also I make The King governor or something :p

@scribus That all sounds good until you factor in the kind of human resource you're dealing with in Fallout. Ironically the tv show is the best illustration of this, with the main character trying to behave like a civilized person and consistently getting banana'd by everyone.
House's narcissistic approach is a necessity in the world he's operating, without the army of robots forcing the wastelanders to work at gunpoint nothing will get done (example: they're still living in shacks near 200 years after the war)
Plus, he has civilized some factions already, so it's not like he won't uplift the competent and decent wastelanders into better positions. He has to do that for any space settling plan to work, since good people are needed to populate those colonies.
Sometimes, a competent megalomaniac is the only option that can get the job done.

A guy who participated in January 6th is running for governor and while it would be really papayaing funny if he got nominated the state GOP unfortunately doesn’t hold open primaries anymore because they don’t trust the voters to pick someone electable. They’re right not to trust them, but still.

Unlocked Kaito as a pirate crew member and the game describes him as coming from “a certain detective agency”. They won’t even say Yagami’s NAME anymore

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

having JUST beat Persona 5 Royal the day before Pirate Yakuza came out and then going into Pirate Yakuza and hearing a bunch of those voice actors again is sort of funny. Sojiro photographs sickos for the government.

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.

@adiwan i was confused on why people were saying it was out already today until i realized that the release date was Japan time, even the one given by RGG's western accounts. Neat!
-
@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.

They call it "apple sauce," and yet the sauce does not go on apples

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

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.

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.

persona 5 is a longer game than Red Dead Redemption II, the game with a 45 minute long credits sequence

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

why is the final goddamn boss already on YouTube and why did the guy who uploaded it include the game's biggest spoiler in the thumbnail

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.

I’m working with a well-known brand sponsor for upcoming Mattimation cartoons and they want to know if I will happen to be in Dubai next week for a face to face. I, uh, will not, and unless I find myself with unfathomable wealth in the next five years, you can probably count on me not ever “happening” to be in Dubai.
Monday, 17-Feb-25 14:09:57 UTC from web-
@zeldatra If I have the money to "happen by" Dubai, you can bet your butt I have the money to never go to Dubai

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.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness remastered gets a thumbs up from me! It's not much of a remaster, it's up to par with the other remasters Aspyr did... which the original AOD pretty much already was to begin with, so aside from Lara, Kurtis, and some of the other important NPCs having new models and the environments receiving texture upgrades, it's not much to write home about visually. The various quality of life fixes, bug fixes, the new control scheme, the addition of a store to purchase ammo and weapon upgrades from early on, etc. all make it worth playing IMO, although it is still a flawed experience - you can only fix the stuff that's broken, not the stuff that's missing.
