  1. Well, this is interesting. Today I learned that there are *.CID files which you can play in VLC player that are effectively just Amiga music files.

    99.99% sure that most virus-killers on Windows would declare all sorts of Red Alert if I were to try and make a nice library of those things though.

  3. So who here unironically still watches the Simpsons ? I honestly gave up somewhere at season 10 ( which were on local TV around 2004 ) and ever since I completely gave up on them. Then 13 years later some guy with the name Super Eyepatch Wolf made this thing ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874749 ) and I went... "Ahhh... The loss of writers was the death knell and Simpsons evolved into something it was never destined/intended to be"

    And no I do not count coming home and glomping the couch after a long day of work where you accidentally hit the remote-control, TV turns on and the simpsons happens to be on so you watch it. I mean such levels of exhaustion do not happen often to me, but they do occasionally happen.

    I might even quote homer when I see it, "Up next, it is the simpsons" ... Do'h ... I am not going anywhere for a while, I wish I had a Sgrapers... Hmm... SFrankerZrs drool

  5. Does anyone remember Evil Spock ? ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874731 , memory alpha link ).

    I kinda have need for a quick photoshop of Elon Musk with an Evil Moustache like that. I'm probably going to spend tomorrow working on that when there is noone at work and nothing to do. As is usual for a Friday. Then when it is complete, throw it in the directory where one of my co-workers has his desktop picture set to refresh from.

  7. Well, there goes the last of my hope.

    Apparently Star Wars Episode 9 was being filmed and edited at the same time. ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874706 ) It is already a miracle if a one-off movie is being made well by editing and filming at the same time, but for something that will be put under a magnifying lens by millions upon millions of Star Wars fans ?

    Might as well brace for the insanity that will come from it. Idunno, Maybe blaming GamerGate as a reason why many people dislike a movie ( oh yes, that did happen previously, go read http://rainbowdash.net/url/874707 if you want to lose your faith in humanity )

    But hey, who knows, maybe I am wrong. Time will tell. But I will reserve FULL rights to rant about it some more when time comes to pass.

    • @mrmattimation If something that is usually done subsequent is done simultaneously in order to meet a significantly more tight release schedule then...

      Well what would you call it if you were specifically told not to call it a 'rush job' ?

      You might want to look into how other modern movies are made, Especially Star Wars by Disney and MCU ( Also by Disney ). Though I guess there is tons to learn regarding failures by other studio's as well. For instance take http://rainbowdash.net/url/874715 ( 6:38 - 7:00 , would you look at that smug face, yowzers )

      Now does it "have to" be bad that they are doing to SW:e9 ? Ofcourse not. However if I rub my crystal ball while throwing my geomancy rocks and somehow simultaneously manage to shake my magic 8 ball, wiggle my divination rod, flip some tarot cards, twiddle some fortune sticks AND use one of those human girly teenager fortune teller thingies. They would either tell me "Outlook not so good" or "You are about to have an accident"

    • @drinkingpony i would call it efficiency. seems to me you're looking for reasons to not like a movie that isn't out yet before it comes out

      Thursday, 20-Jun-19 03:30:34 UTC in context
    • @mrmattimation And it seems to me that you are denying just how likely it is for history to repeat itself. I would be a lot more happy with it when historically actions which I describe as 'Rush Job' were more likely to give good products.

      We'll see when the thing comes out. Then again we got here merely with me saying that "I lost hope" which was and still is a hyperbolic statement.

  10. Whenever the word "lose" is stretched like "looooooose" does it mean "lose" or "loose"? Weird shower thoughts.

  12. !techponies Read this manual with me for fun and giggles
    1. 47 headphoneAmplifiercomponents installation drawing: from low to high principle, namely the first low welding components, such as resistor. Ohkay I sorta know what they mean here
    Pay attention to the polarity, can not meet the. Element name element label polarity fair enough, I know what they mean here, there is a little table here pointing out that there is a polarity for things like LED and electrolyic capacitors, and it does not matter for the Monolythic capacitors & resistors.

    But then

    Shall not be plugged into the IC 5532 direction, otherwise will burn IC 5532

    What ? ... I shall scour the internet looking for a YouTube video or something trying to explain this.

    6 seconds later

    Well I guess I will be watching this now before starting http://rainbowdash.net/url/874669

  13. This is the first picture I saw of the new 007, James Bond. He looks about ready to say "No Mr Villain, I expect you to fall asleep as I use my creep-face to watch you succumb. Which is my fool-proof scheme to give you vivid nightmares"

    Just saying that even if Malek makes a great bond, this picture is none too flattering. http://rainbowdash.net/url/874667

  15. Some boobthusiast just pointed out to me that Tifa's boobs are smaller in the FF7 remake.

    1. I have not been interested in Tifa's model since I thought I saw an animation error somewhere in the movie-esque bit of FF7 where she falls on the airship and it is looking like something wants to burst from her midriff ( probably a modelling skeleton )

    2. Where were you about 4 years ago when we were all amazed when she fought Yang ? http://rainbowdash.net/url/874647

  18. I wonder if it is possible to desolder the reset button on the ESP32-CAM and put it in a more tactical place ( for instance, on the side of a project-box ) I hope @Adiwan knows. I have not yet ordered the thing. Might be a kind of a deal-breaker.

  19. People who buy and play Blizzard games perpetuate the sameness of Blizzard games. There is not much incentive for Blizzard to innovate or to diversify their portfolio unless they have to after a decade of nothing.

    Blizzard fans, after Blizzard cancels one of their other games to give them what they asked for: WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. Blizzard has aparently cancelled some StarCraft FPS game and put more resources to Diablo 4 and OverWatch 2.

    Meanwhile all I can think of is how reality for Blizzard now essentially became Onion-ising two of their own April fools jokes. The first of which we all know pretty much, it was Happy Reaper the mobile game. The other one is World of Starcraft.

    No I have no insight to what Blizzard is doing but you think that they would be able to use some good PR after what is essentially the terrors of what the company currently goes though, and those are still in the shadows of Real-ID...

    sigh, I don't know anymore, I just needed to get that off of my chest I guess.

  26. I just bought a video game on the sole basis that it had local co-op.

    Turns out that it is actually what it says on the tin. Who knew. Just played 2 quick solo games to try it out before I will subject my friends to this. And that is what it is at this point, subjecting my friends to this as it a WAY more scary game than I imagined it would be, even with that name it has.

    When I was playing the game alone I really did not want to come across any Xenos, they killed me anyway. The second time I was going to make em pay for what they did to me the first time. Turns out that I turn into a little girl as soon as I have low visibility and a dead battery.

    "I do not want to go down that corridor, even though I have a big gun I would really prefer not to have my face eaten"

    I really like it, only costs me 10 dollar for a 4-pack. Probably will throw those exces keys around next LAN party.

  29. I am having the worst sort of conversation with someone, it seems to be coming back too. All I said was that I believe that if you look at both animal behaviour and know enough about the history of humankind going back approx 1 million years, you can see how certain morals came into existance. Based on that some tribes started to begin leaving their dead in a certain way. This was far before the time that Humans started to bury their dead mind you.

    That together with the idea that morals were build/based upon practicality of one form or the other ( usually what is good for the tribe, sometimes what is good for the individual )

    Then someone hijacked this topic into a muddied waters by stating "And that is why I think Humans should not eat meat"

    What ? ( I said ) No... Not at all. Though I guess their morals would or should put humans into thinking mass killing of animals is not ohkay.

    So now I get the question if I think that humans should eat meat every day for 4 days now. :(
