i think they should add pirate majima to the new monster hunter game because who else is more fit to hunt monsters? not your hatsune miku character creation, that's for sure

@liquidusmira Fortnite proved that Hatsune Miku, if given an assault rifle and a jetstream sam sword, is more than capable to go hand to hand with Godzilla.
You underestimate her.

Today I planted tomato seeds and put them into my tiny greenhouses: Purple Sunrise, Malina, Arancia, Jolie Coeur, Marmande, Tscherny Prinz, Japanese Crab, Ananas Noire, Black Krim, Tigerella. 5 seeds for each in case some of them don't grow. I want to keep only two of each, rest will be gifted.

@scribus I hope this year the yield will be big enough to fill a cooking pot at once for tomato sauce. Last year was horrible due to rain and infections. Soon I want to grab some free trampolines with side-netting in order to create a simple roof above the plants to prevent damages from rain. All I need are the vertical pipes. Free trampolines are always there. Right now there are 8 in my region.

At my mother's apartment there are metal spikes in front of the windows of the staircase to prevent birds from sitting there and pooping on people's heads in front of the entrance. When I went up the stairs I found something odd. At first I thought it was a brown and crumpled leaf but it was not quite that. It was a bat that has impaled itself with its head first.

My pirate Majima was basically the default but with Yakuza 0 hair. My Hawaii Majima was the default but with black dress trousers and his signature steel-tipped shoes.

@scribus With added safety function! Once I had winter shoes with steel reinforcement in the toe area but I highly disliked them. It made me realize how inflexible they are. The way I walk is pretty much incompatible with those.

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.

@zeldatra If I have the money to "happen by" Dubai, you can bet your butt I have the money to never go to Dubai

I almost crashed my car. I was driving on the Autobahn while it was heavily snowing. There was so much snow that snow was piling up and it was only feasible to drive in the tracks of the other cars. I got caught up in the side of the tyre tracks and was skidding and slipping left and right so much I almost spin out. Luckily my experiences with racing games could avoid that by steering against the skidding direction.

@scribus me too. I was in the middle lane. I had plenty of room and I didn't have anyone around me.

The video editor Kdenlive is not so bad. I've been playing with it since it is stable for a long while and the last time I used it was 10 years ago when I was doing my Bachelor thesis. And back then it was in a buggy alpha state. There are however still tons of room for improvements. Especially in the effects department, and the adding and removal of video and audio tracks. For some reason once the project has been initialized you cannot add more tracks. In the audio department I'd like to have bezier curves in the track view to adjust the volume. At least it isn't crashing.

@adiwan I've had a recurring issue with video editors where I cut down a large clip to the part I want, then apply some kind of speed change or reverse it or something, and suddenly the clip I'd made is a different portion of the original video. I guess I'm asking if this ever happened to you at all, and/or if this new one does it at all? lol
-
@scribus So far it hasn't happened to me. In fact I did a speed change to a small portion and it correctly identified that I can enter a maximum speed value until it doesn't fit on the track because a following clip is in its way. However I have to enter that value manually. Clunky but it works.

Let’s say I have five million dollars, cash. Do I a) move into a house on stilts in the most expensive state in the country and declare bankruptcy in a year after being unable to pay property taxes, or b) just buy a bigger house in the DC suburb I already currently live in for one million and then still have four million to play with

@zeldatra Even at a 3% godawful return investment fund, you'd be getting 150k a year from 5 million.
Just invest it all in a low risk profile and pay a mortgage with the interest.

@scribus I hate to repeat myself but, uh, the ground shakes and it is hot and the city routinely burns to the ground once every couple of years, and a moderately wealthy person in LA County is unfathomably wealthy nearly everywhere else, why do rich people choose to live there again??

Ooof... Dodged a bullet. BambuLab 3D printers are now unrecommendable. I low-key thought about getting one but BambuLab went full on locking down the firmware to prevent 3rd-party software to connect to the printer. They had in the terms of service that they would block printing alltogether if the firmware won't be updated. Now they are gaslighting the users that this isn't the case as they have changed their website.

@adiwan The way companies do that garbage, I don't even want to buy anything from anyone anymore. It should be considered theft, plain and simple - I had a tool that did X, and now it has been taken away against my will. If corporations were people, they'd be doing a B&E to take away my tools like that, and I would have a chance to kneecap them with a golf club.

I've been using GIMP for years for simple image editing. It was always a pain. It is still a pain to use. The more recent changes to dialogue windows made me crawl up the walls. F U GTK. It is a KRITA household now.
about 4 months ago from web-
@scribus It was always kinda janky. I always credited that feeling to the fact that I'm more familiar with photoshop. GIMP has limitations but was for the simple stuff I did fine. Now all the flaws accumulated to a point that boiled over the threshold of any tolerance I had towards GIMP.

The backpack I'm using for over 15 years is still holding well enough but I feel like I've grown out of it. It was fine for a good while but my use-case has shifted dramatically. Nowadays I use it for holding all my bike stuff and for some emergency storage whenever my shopped items don't fit in my bags. The stuff I have in my backpack right now gets more in the way lately because the items are oddly shaped for the compartments they are. A poncho, umbrella, small first-aid kit, repair tools, hand pump, tote bags, paper tissues, N95-masks, pens. I wish I could sew one myself.
about 4 months ago from web-
@awl I use my backpack almost exclusively when I use my bike. So my needs are pretty much the same all the time. On good weather days I don't need to carry an umbrella or poncho but they will be definitely not there when I actually need them if I don't have it always packed. I hope I don't overpack. I was once thinking about carrying a set of new chain and hoses but these might be overkill as I would need more time to fix that than to push the bike back home.

@awl I just have good ol' ordinary rim brakes that are attached to a bowden tube. Also my hub gearing brakes when backpedaling.

I can recommend Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix. It is bloody, gory, and contains some sex scenes and nudity.
about 4 months ago from web-
@scribus It is not without its faults. A few music choices are not so smooth and the brutality made me flinch a few times. However in general I enjoyed the story. The characters were believable and the choices they made were properly inferred by the culture and past actions. What the series did well is to reveal the exact amount of backstory and story beats to create tension and make me fear of the outcome of a few characters as death is cheap in that world. I also seen some glowing recommendations of that series and last night I was bored enough to jump into it, so much that I was on the verge of binging it way past midnight. I think it is a very good weekend binge but be aware not to start it too late in the day. Plan at least 6 hours with breaks to watch it.

My poor Blackberry is deteriorating faster than I expected. It shuts down at 40% battery charge when there is a bigger power draw. Effectively I have to keep it on the charger all the day to make sure it's not dying immediately but it also makes my situation worse because it is constantly on the charger. My search for a new smartphone has been accelerated.

The state of Linux desktop environments for old hardware (i.e. ASUS EEE PC 1000H) is abysmal. I love KDE but the current version is unusable. The same goes for GNOME, which is furthermore hampered by being unusable because of UX reasons. Even the "classic" Gnome is horrible performance-wise. MATE is a tad better but I don't like it. The only real choice I have is XFCE. It is fine with a huge GNOME-influenced asterisk. I'm looking into Enlightenment but it also irks me a lot.
about 4 months ago from web-
@scribus I want to keep it conventionally usable. I'm not going fool hacker-mode by using one of the many tiling window managers. Right now I got Enlightenment to behave and runs well enough for now. If all my patience is gone I'll go to Windows XP.
