@ceruleanspark Awesome! Is there any way to chat privately?

@feelsbadman Yep. You should be able to DM me with the “Message” button in my profile.

@ceruleanspark Sorry to bother, did you get my messages?

@scribus I mean last week I managed, using only apt-get upgrade, to uninstall grub from the server, so this is way more "on" than it was

So has anyone ported Doom to the Virtual Boy, and do they make a good VB emulator for a VR headset yet? !vgp
Sunday, 01-Aug-21 17:44:27 UTC from web-
@scribus There's actually a VB emulator for the Oculus Quest 2. It's called "Virtual Boy Go".

I'm not big into LEGO but somehow I want a Star Wars Clone Wars Gunship set.

@adiwan I hope they've revised the design since I tried to build Gherkins old one. That build is an unfun nightmare and produces the flimsiest model.
-
@ceruleanspark From what I've seen is big and sturdy. But I can only say that as an opinion without much insight and experience with big LEGO builds. I want it but I am aware that these sets are luxuriously expensive. I rather buy new Winter tyres for that kind of money.
-
@adiwan Gherkins was one of the first-gen models from the AOTC era, so it's entirely possible they've made the design slightly less likely to just explode on contact with a stiff breeze.

@scribus Are you sure it's not Daft Punk emailing you because they're bored in their retirement?

@scribus To answer the question I just got via email, the server is a basic digitalocean droplet. The $20 one. Depending on how much traffic you're expecting, you could easily run a couple of instances on there.

@ceruleanspark Groovy, thanks. I have a couple $5 ones for some blogs I wanna keep IP isolated, and was eyeballing a $10 for startup. Good to know.

@tiff It's probably because I stopped paying the company who does it for me, so they fixed it so they could hassle me to pay them again

Disney+ has a collection titled "The Simpsons Predict the Future", which includes episodes of The Simpsons in which they make jokes that later became fact. One such episode is "Bart to the Future", in which Lisa mentions "President Trump", and "The Serfsons", where they predicted the ending to Game of Thrones, and "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson", where... uh...

@mrmattimation And the Lady Gaga episode, iirc, which uuhhhmmm.... evades me, at least.

@scribus Lady Gaga's performance in that episode was really similar to a halftime show that she would do after the episode aired so i'm assuming that's why that's there

@mrmattimation I saw it on sale for £10 so I figured at that price, if I at least got some funny stories out of how busted it was, I’d have broken even, but now I’m level 30 and drugging new players with unlabelled Nukashine

@ceruleanspark It has been so long that I don't remember what I told you regarding the game. Glad you're enjoying it, though.
AFAIK they've put some work in fixing the most glaring issues over the years, despite the crazy antics like the duping glitches and players chasing vips off the game.

@mrmattimation So, there's this coffee shop in Hollywood that serves a "Turbo-Coke," a double espresso and a half-litre of Mexican Coca-Cola, that is somewhat less expensive than a hotel

@scribus Yeah but ironically MLP ended up being pretty much the only series to endure out of the ones we were all thinking of at the time. Littlest Pet Shop: Cancelled. Over the Garden Wall: Over. Gravity Falls: Over. Steven Universe: Who even knows. Rick and Morty: anathema to thinking people. Adventure Time: Over.

@ceruleanspark Funny you mention Over The Garden Wall. It's very recently become my favorite cartoon of all time.

@ceruleanspark You know me, cerulean. Were it a bunch of people dying in a fire, I would have sent it anyway, but privately :)
