Circus set up tent in the mall parking lot. Nothing ominous here. Disregard the cold breeze out of the west and gathering clouds.

@scribus Clown carcass in alley this morning, tyre tread on oversized shoe. This circus is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.

7 hours into my 32th birthday I've already caused all sorts of romantic chaos, had my crush hint very overtly that she would like me to fight with her boyfriend over her (won't, she made her choice) and had a drunk gay friend confess to me in an absolutely obsessive, self-destructive and pathological way (which would have been really hot if it was a girl)
It's turning out to be a VERY eventful day and I'm very happy for it.
I joined this place when I was 18 and I'm glad I haven't mellowed out at all in that time. Here's hoping in another 14 years things will be just as crazy still.about a month ago from web-
@adiwan Pretty sure I'm not! but it's a funny life for certain and I put in a non-insignificant amount of work into keeping it that way.

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 :-/
about 2 months ago 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.

Anyone claiming a smartphone or tablet can replace a regular computer is a delusional fool who has not tasted the power and freedom that a computer offers. I tried catching up on my tablet and it made me realize once again how limiting and cumbersome touchscreens are and how android is not making it easy navigating anything and its ecology is not geared to power users. Autocorrect and predictive text blocks are mere crutches and poor imitations of the feats one can do when mastering touch typing on a physical keyboard. I coould learn doing that on a screen keyboard but doing so blindly is verging on the impossible.

@adiwan Extremely agree. It feels as though smart phones and tablets have become ever more restrictive. I do value the constant connectivity, but my phone could never possibly replace my computer.

@elli I have a friend who is a teacher and they have children who have never touched a Windows PC. Those children are in a majority. THAT is scary.

Gonna assemble myself a first-aid box. I have the feeling that all the ready-to-go purchasable ones are lacking in material and actually useful bandages. Also the ones with any number of pieces in the title are even more scummy as they count every single safety pin and other useless small piece. I want middle to big band-aids. Furthermore I don't need a hard plastic case or yet another nylon zip bag. For my car I need one of those ready-to-go ones that are mandated but that is a different thing.

@scribus second this, I switched to them a while ago. I haven't really gotten a chance to use them aside from a few small cuts here and there (which is a positive I suppose) but my experience with them has been positive.

I thought this site was dead for the last 6 months cause I kept getting this error. I tried different browsers and devices and same thing but today it finally worked. Anyone else have this issue? http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876377

@macpony55 I always get this with almost any browser I use. Only way I can get it to load conisistently is by using this macos app called fluid. Other than that it’s almost inaccessible for me lol. I don’t mind though, adds to the charm :)

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.

@scribus I would still go on an RDN roadtrip no questions asked, even though I'd probably have to shoot someone a few hours in at this point. Bonus points for a certain someone, in his own words, wanting to hit me with a wrench but 100% not brave enough to actually try if in the same room.
You're cool though, so we can eat fries after the fights die down.
