Instant red flags :
I was helping out someone with a Lego domoticz project at a nearby school and this comic ( see attachment ) is on the wall somewhere behind us when I/we hear someone loudly proclaim "I don't get it"
I turn around and I see what in most flattering words can only be described as a neckbeard in a trench coat wearing a Tux T-shirt, wielding an apple laptop with many more Linux stickers on it and a big Tux over the apple logo.
( Tux is the Linux penguin mascot BTW )
me:"What is it that you do not get ?"
fake nerd:"Well, why is HTML a flower pot?"
Picard:"Red Alert, all hands to battlestations !". You probably understand my plight now. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875195

@drinkingpony I wish. I got it off amazon from a 3rd party seller and it was the last one and it was not cheap (120€). I saw a similar model for 80€ but the order got cancelled because it was a warehouse error and wasn't actually available. My keyboard that I have has the model number 55Y9017 (site with model numbers for other language layouts http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/printableversion.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/0/877/ENUSZG09-0520/index.html ). The one I initially wanted was FRU57Y4655 but it cannot be found anywhere.

TIL : Even though Crunchyroll's motto is or was "Anime for Everyone", you will still see people getting banned on social media for asking questions regarding a sensitive topic.
What's a sensitive topic ? Well according to what I have seen, it is 'woman writers' and 'High Guardian Spice'
Digging any deeper as to why will net you in a extreme political environment and even the least negative comment as to why will net you a "Well either Cruncyroll themselves or the PR manager(s) are being self-destructive about this in a weird game of 'cook the grenade'/'hot potato'"
I myself stopped after finding this in a bio of a person involved with HGS :
[> "But what if, hear me out: you hired woman writers" ""I am litterally blocking every person replying to this with "I just want good writers REGARDLESS of gender..." because oh my god shut up shut up shut UP <]

@drinkingpony I'm only aware of this show because I bumped into a woman on the BART who was involved with the show somehow supposedly. Apparently not a writer.
-
@thismightbeauser What is the BART ? Hmm, Probably PT or something, like a yellow train birthed from a bigger yellow factory named HOMER.
I asked around some, and was given these two things as pretty grounded in reality versions of its conception :
Wholesome version http://rainbowdash.net/url/875187 ( about 12 minutes )
sorta depressing version with lots of F-bombs http://rainbowdash.net/url/875188 ( also about 12 minutes )
TL;DR version : seemingly people wanna put their strongarm of politics out there while being a totalitarian of what you can and can not talk about.
Also... I should probably look up whatever SoCal cartoons are now. I get pictures thrown at me that Steven Universe and Gumball, Star and Dipper, and even most of Thundercats Roar have the same "smile skeleton"

Update, aparently the Steam and the Rockstar Launcher and the Mobile Version of GTA:SA share nearly 95% of all code. Meaning they just wanted a GTA:SA version on mobile with all the fixxins such as dumping the songs they lost the licence to ( mostly Michael Jackson songs and a few others ) and then just tried to dump the same thing on PC with little to no tweaking. I guess some old copy from 2006 with the name SkidMark actually is better then.
Wednesday, 18-Sep-19 22:22:46 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony This is, uh, not accurate at all. The current Steam version is just a patch-updated version of the original 2005 Windows PC port designed by Rockstar North. The iPhone/Windows Store/Xbox 360 version of the game is a different port built in a different graphics engine by War Drum Studios, the song license issue is entirely separate.
-
@mrmattimation Seemingly for Steam it is mostly a regional thing, or maybe it is tied to when you bought it. Not sure actually.
Also I take trouble with that song licence thing being a seperate thing. Seeing that the songs that the BG Fix was supposed to 'fix' was a change that needed to be carried forwards to the MG.
However in the BG you can still snoop the files and pick out the MJ songs if you are crafty. the MG simply does not have those songs.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Who knew that in 2019 if I wanted to play GTA San Andreas I would not reach out to Steam, where I have owned the game for longer than I can remember, but to something that ended in skidmark or deathrow or something.

"Watching 'Change your Mind' is like going through a checklist of everything that needed to happen before the show ended"
Well that is not untrue...
"It seems that both of these characters ( names redacted because of final episode spoilers ) are really unhappy with the state of the Gem Empire, and don't like it anymore"
Well, yeah, that was kinda weird if you stop to think about it
"and then the movie happened and I was hoping that it would solve the D&D/Rian-Johnson flip-flopping of the evil evil overlords... it doesn't"
So, are you still a Steven Universe fan ?

Well, Tom Kirkman actually makes it.
I had all sorts of scenario's running through my head for that final episode. But the whole darned show just ends on a couple of cliffhangers. In fact, if anyone wants to go watch it I could strongly recommend that you only watch the first two seasons. The third season is where they suddenly drop in the real politically themed dirt and some of the cast that was there with big roles for the first two seasons suddenly vanish only to never be talked about again.
In fact, Dr Green from ER. ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875181 ) suddenly drops in from the beginning of S3 and does both the job of a character that left the show AND his old role from ER in the same show.
Efin. Regarding the whole kerfuffle that they placed at the end, I am fully in the camp that Kirkman did nothing wrong. He should have been honest about it afterwards and maybe resign over it. But FFS, what even happened to the Democratic candidate ?Monday, 16-Sep-19 23:39:18 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@scribus You said it, stereopticon... stereoptics... it certainly is how 3D works. Everything you said is correct.

@drinkingpony OK... When you pay extra to see Avatar or TRON Legacy with the fancy glasses in a theater, what is it called?
-
@scribus stereoscopy ? Whatever it is called, there is still a movie being projected onto a screen, the screen is flat. But when you look at that with them "3D glasses" the illusion of 3D was made.
So at that point it becomes more marketing friendly to say "3D movie" than to say "stereooptic movie that allows for the illusion that things are not just projected onto a screen but seemingly come out of it"
I mean. Did you think that that one Shrek ride at universal studio would have been nearly as famous if it advertised with "stereoptic movie that feels like things are crawling out of the screen but we are also going to splash some water in your face so people think they are really there" instead of 4D ?
Marketing terms man, they are the bane of my existance. 4K for instance, or UHD. What is that ? Is it 4096 x 2160 ? or 3996 X 2160 ? or 4096 x 1716 ? Or hell, is it what apple said it was and is it 4096 x 2304 ? Or just WQUXGA wrapped in a marketing term ?Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

Somebody emailed me a petition today make 9/11 into a federal holiday, and like, I’m all for another excuse to be making holiday overtime, but like, as of today you have this situation where you have legal adults who were not yet born when 9/11 happened. I don’t even remember it, I was 4 when it happened. A lot of us have kids of our own now, and it’s likely that they won’t even be taught about 9/11 in history classes like I was, except as a precursory event to a larger Middle East conflict that dominated Bush’s second term. If you lost loved ones or lived in New York or DC, or worked for the government at the time, then yeah. Mourn. Memorialize. Do whatever you gotta do. But everyone else moved on. It doesn’t need to be a federal holiday.

the 2016 version is kind of about ( and I am going to banana off everyone who really knows what it is about ) some theme park where you get to live out your wildest dreams within a few set parameters, such as the wild west. Which is fine and dandy untill some people start to do some less than conventional things to the droids that are supposed to live there.
I guess that means someone wants to rob trains and shoot people.
Then the droids thing themselves become a plot point somehow, so I guess they get their memories tangled up or some other super AI doomsday scenario.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.
