I’m not proud of this but I’ve been playing the Gex Trilogy for most of the night

@zeldatra GEX 3D: Enter The Gecko was awesome. I had to guy a 3DFX Voodoo graphics card to get the game to work back in the day. It was the best Mario 64 replacement a PC gamer could have without owning a N64.

I don't like what I was seeing the the Naked Gun trailer.
about 6 days ago from web-
@adiwan I laughed exactly once at the OJ joke in the first trailer but I have been unimpressed otherwise.
-
@zeldatra I got a slight chuckle at max out of this. I feel like the stuff in the trailer was off-putting serious in tone while being off-putting outlandish in the next. I don't remember the originals being like that. Also I don't like that he is so trigger happy for a comedy film. I guess, according to the Youtube comments, it will be a moderate success, as I have seen a ton of positive comments. Cinema is dead, I guess.

The mystery of the mysterious poop in my garden has been solved. A few weeks ago I was cleaning up some poop from behind my grill. Before that I had some poop on my lawn. Today I found the culprit: A hedgehog. Somehow there is a hole somewhere in the fencing and a hedgehog found its way in my garden. I encountered it when I was checking for rain to collect in buckets. While that I found the hedgehog standing absolutely still on my lawn. I grabbed a few sticks and pushed it gently out of my gate since I don't know where it could exit otherwise and I am certain that it wouldn't survive in my garden.

@scribus Words like "go away" and "idiot" were uttered. That stupid stubborn little piece of poop and spiky bristles either didn't move at all or it moved quickly back to under the bush to make the whole process comically on repeat. 10 minutes for a distance of 1.5 meters.
-
@adiwan I spent half an hour yesterday chasing a duck around the yard, also on account of poop. I warned it for months that the pool wasn't going to keep me out forever, and yesterday was the point where I finally said "Oh ho, it's Speedo time," stripped down to my underwear, and cannonballed on about a meter away from it.

@zeldatra Compensating and pretending they need the flat bed for the off-chance to transport something big enough to warrant the purchase and ignoring trailers are a thing.

@nerthos Too bad. The train has a delay of 50 minutes and the AC doesn't work. Seriously, the trains here are a joke for decades ever since Deutsche Bahn is run like a normal capitalist company.

Had my first time a militant vegan was commenting on my post on bluesky. Shouldn't have replied to them. It baffles me that they cannot frame their interaction in a more positive light like saying that other products might be better and be positive to try more. Guess that's the Internet in a nutshell.

@adiwan I didn't want to look into the person's profile but I did it anyway. As suspected the person is as stereotypical of a militant vegan as it can be. Their personality is fully based on spreading veganism by being a dick to everybody and guilt-tripping for eating dead animals. Cool bro. You found an interesting hobby.

What if school classes were RPG classes in a game? Having a party of students that is composed of a physics student, a foreign language student, a history student and a religion student could be for example a fantasy equivalent of a wizard, a bard, a rogue, and a cleric.

@adiwan I had actually just been mentally workshopping something like that, where your character sheet is a report card and instead of numbers it was letter graded, "Oh I've got this puzzle, with my A+ in Ancient Sumerian Math!"

It is bonkers to me that people give so much authority to the catholic church. If they were doing the right thing the child diddling pieces of Fluffle Puff were in jail and excommunicated.

@nerthos Sounds great! I was not very informed or I forgot the news about that. I guess my avoidance of religious news is the culprit.
-
@nerthos Plus, the vast majority of said CSA cases happened in the 60s and 70s. At the same time hippies were taking 14 year olds to concerts and giving them drugs to sleep with them, Michel Focault (of marginality theory fame) was leading a political movement to remove age of consent laws in France, and universities worldwide taught that you should do LSD and pedophilia was actually a very good thing for the kid's development.
It was a plainly insane era, objectively the most predatory and abusive of the XX century except for maybe Weimar Germany. -
@adiwan Yeah it was nice. They excommunicated like 900 priests between 2004 and 2014 when serious investigations took place.
Obviously there will always be incidents like with any crime (there are over 400k active priests plus a whole lot more clergy staff, nuns, monks etc) but the cover up policy is over. Now they try to do an internal investigation first and if they find anything, excommunicate and report to secular law, unless it's within the vatican, which as a sovereign state has the authority to trial.

Digging out tree stumps is hard. Stupid roots. I had to buy a new saw with large teeth to make it rip better through the very wet wood of the roots. The previous owner had cut off three trees and let the stumps behind some bushes and I created some of my own. I really want a greenhouse there some day and these idiots needed to go.
about 2 months ago from web-
@adiwan You can use a drill to make holes in a stump and pour acid in to rot the wood quickly and make it easy to dig out, but obviously this makes the wood unusable.
-
@nerthos Thanks. I'll try it with an old bush next to my terrace that will be a cherry to remove. I have a bottle of Hydrochloric Acid and some Citric Acid powder.

I find that the screen keyboard on my phone seems to be more or less of a piece of crap depending on what app or field I'm typing into, but in no case is it unlike trying to speak with one's tongue cut out and jaw wired shut. I hope there's a Hell bad enough for Steve Jobs.

@scribus One thing he did was good: kill off the Adobe Flash plugin. It was a lot of trouble security-wise and performance on PC and especially mobile was atrocious. My HTC Desire Z could run Flash but more on paper than in practical terms. Also this move has eradicated Flash websites. They work now as good as they did back then, not at all.
Despite of that I agree to everything you said. -
@adiwan OK yeah, Flash did need to go, but we still could have kept physical keys!! :p

I've operated an electric chainsaw today for the first time. It went easier than thought. I wanted to use it weeks earlier but the fuse in the electrical box always triggered because the starting current of the motor was too high. I bought a current limiter for this case and now it triggers only half of the time instead of always. The current limiter is just on the limit of the fuse's limit at 16A. At least I can use the chainsaw. Also I have a miter saw that also is kinda trigger-happy, so the bought current limiter is useful for more than the chainsaw.

@adiwan They're pretty nice, but the cable gets annoying sometimes when you're on a tree
-
@nerthos I am not that bothered with a cable. I throw it over the shoulder and it mostly works out. I rather prefer power tools with cables. I am annoyed by batteries not performing as long as I want and by the need to charge them at the most inconvenient times. The only tool I accept being battery-powered is a drill and even that sucks. I have two batteries and at times I was using one while charging the other and constantly swapping them back and forth.

Delving into smaller youtube channels. The sponsor segments are definitely weirder than the ones of the bigger and more established channels. It surely shows the desperation the creators have. A furniture modification/restoration channel that is sponsored by a LED beauty face mask? Questionable meets desperation.

@adiwan As someone who shaves maybe a fraction of their face, maybe once a week, I just laugh at the wasted sponsor money every time I see one
-
@scribus Me too. I shave once a month and wait until it gets itchy. I only have a simple safety razor and an electric shaver. It is sufficient but I like neither of those because my skin is easily irritable. I'd like to permanently remove my beard with lasers but I fear it'll destroy my skin.
-
@adiwan I go the easy route and trim with scissors, then correct with the razor. Should probably buy an electric shaver but eh

Strongly heating up the remaining red jalapeno made them bearable. Beating heat with heat. I put them on a pizza and they were not so bad. Degenerating capsaicin with heat is the key. The sauce I made a little while ago was never heated so much or long to break down the hot stuff. Fresh and uncooked will never enter my digestive tract ever again.

@zeldatra Soo... In essence I think it is pretty much like this: "This outrage is outrageously outrageous! Meanwhile, the truly outrageous thing is nothing to worry about.

One jalapeno in my salad got me the wrong way. I cut it too small to remove it, too much salad to toss out. I ate through all of it and with enough ranch dressing it got less of a sting.
The current Jalapeno plants are dying, so this season I will plant only one or two and give them more care. Currently my 4 Jalapeno and 1 Cayenne are putting out weekly one or two ripe deep red chilis. Maybe I should collect them when they are still green.about 2 months ago from web-
@adiwan Mostly, at least out my way, they are harvested and sold or processed while green, I do believe they just get hotter as they age and ripen
-
@scribus BuT rEd OnEs LoOk BeTtEr! Yeah... I have currently a hand full of green ones on my plants at this moment. I'll harvest them tomorrow. Hopefully they won't stab my tongue with a hot dagger like the red ones.

Working for a project in northern Germany. Every morning it begins with everyone greeting with "moin". It is not a abbreviation for "morning" but it is an old lower German word for "good" and "pleasant".
about 2 months ago from web-
@scribus Just to be clear: Lower German is not that common, however in casual conversation it has some foothold in everyday use, especially common expressions and traditional stuff like in food or handiwork or hunting. In comparison the Bavarian dialect is 20 times more common. It is not dead but there is definitely a dying trend. A local broadcaster has a one hour news block that uses lower German throughout.

I've grown weak. My capsaicin resistance is barely existing.

@scribus I have one Cayenne plant and 5 Jalapeno. They don't bear a lot of fruit but right now I am plenty served by them. I planted seeds for their replacement, as they are supposed to be living about one year. I don't get cold sweat or anything but their hotness can be slightly overwhelming. Maybe I need them to cook for a lot longer. They were basically fresh when I put them into the sauce. As of now I wouldn't go eating any hotter stuff than that.

The other day during Steam’s little demo showcase I downloaded a few demos. Today I tried out “Promise Mascot Agency”, a cute little open world mascot management sim/casual collectathon where the bulk of the gameplay is driving around in a Kei truck and talking to sentient mascots. Also the main character, completely by coincidence, is an ex-yakuza voiced by Takaya Kuroda (Kazuma Kiryu).

@zeldatra After the great dissolution finding work is hard. The orphanage needs the money. Also it is funny that the main character is named "Michi". After Suzuki Taichi and Joryu, Kiryu named himself after a mascot.

My tomato plants are growing faster than anticipated. Barely one week in the dirt and half of the planted seeds pushed through the surface. Last year it felt it took longer until there was some development.

@nerthos Fruit... Vegetable. I tend to say (jokingly) it is a frugitable. I hope too that they will be growing and do not rot away like last year.

@adiwan Have you built a roof or pseudo-greenhouse for them? usually just a transparent nylon cover to prevent rain damage is enough to keep them safe
-
@nerthos Not yet. I have to acquire free trampolines with side-netting for the sole purpose to get the metal tubes to build such a cover. I could buy it ready but due to my bucket solution of a raised bed I'd need 30-40 cm more than purchasable.

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 3 months ago from web-

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.
