i should be gripping rat

  • I had another thought about itagaki. He's like if Tommy Wiseau got into games instead of film (and he found out that he was better at making games than film)

  • RIP to a legend. Besides his always-on-sunglasses, i'll remember him as the reason why we had DOA beach volleyball, and why everyone was obsessed with jiggle physics in the mid-2000s. Not sure if that's how he wants to be remembered, but that's what's burned into my brain.

  • This is being offered in the USA, too, you know. You have to submit to logging in with a Microsoft account and allowing them to back up your system preferences to the cloud.

    Source? My understanding has been that the EU is forcing Microsoft to allow this option, but only if EU users submit to the requirements you mentioned. I have not heard about this being extended to US users. I was able to sub to Extended Security Updates, but I have been assuming this is because my VPN shows me in Europe.

    EDIT: Okay I pulled it up myself. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/extended-security-updates Sure enough, they are allowing it for everyone. I guess I already had the syncing set up? I've always just used Win10 with an account and manually turned off all of the OneDrive stuff, I guess Windows has still been backing up settings without my knowledge?

  • we can only hope. If the AI bubble doesn't pop before this time next year (and that's a big if), I think Microsoft will be too invested in AI to not keep pushing everyone into their most AI-saturated OS. If the bubble does pop, then maayyyybeee they will extend support for 10. But even then, only maybe.

  • would be awesome, but the Steam Hardware Survey also reflects that the majority of users just want to use the thing that simply works. Low-end components and 1080p have dominated those charts for years and years now. For that 97% of users stuck on Windows, you can be sure that almost all of them will just click "upgrade to 11" and be done with it. Sounds like 2/3 of them are already there, the remaining 1/3 are probably waiting til the last minute, or they are in Europe and they get to wait an extra year.

  • The ragdoll physics still felt novel at the time. Nothin quite like headshotting a goblin and they go tumbling away from the force of your arrow

  • no, but she would definitely be endorsing bb's ongoing genocidal rampage in Gaza. Which is why Roan did not want to endorse her. It's not that hard to understand.

  • sure, but Chappell Roan is not one of those queers. She is the most unapologetically leftist pop artist on the scene right now. Go after Ellen Degeneres or Caitlyn Jenner or whoever if you want, but leave Chappell out of it. She's the realest.

  • very glad that Windows magically let me stay on W10 security updates for another year. I think maybe my VPN tripped them up, but i'll take it.

  • S/o to Diane Keaton, inspiration to GNC people everywhere

  • maybe they can do what I do, run Windows on the server so you can tell Backblaze that it's a personal computer. Then I only have to pay a flat rate for the one computer.

  • what a cool idea for a lil vid. Gotta watch the rest still, but i haven't really thought before about structures in video games that are so massive they simply could not exist even if a human wanted to build it. In my head, these sorts of structures don't exist in real life because no one has a need for them, but i've never really thought about the logistics of a megastructure.

  • that's gonna be an expensive backblaze account

  • to be fair, people were VERY excited about those two new games. I can see how someone can talk themselves into splurging for it, especially if the Switch is their only handheld. Prices of consoles seem to be going UP over time instead of down, so if you think you'll want one when there are more games, it's actually more frugal to buy NOW before chip shortages and tariffs drive the price up even higher.

  • got it got it. have you ever explored something like an inbound call center job? if you go through a staffing agency, that sort of job is pretty easy to get. that can be a way of getting short-to-medium term work without having to do a lot of manual labor or moving. i've done it for health insurance before, and the work is a lot less stressful than it sounds. they can be pushy about call handle times, and customers can be mean, but ultimately it's just a voice on a phone and the voice cannot hurt you. Easy to leave work at work, in my experience.

    I think a lot of those jobs are outsourced these days, but there are probably still some solid gigs out there? If you're lucky it might even be remote work, though that might not work well with your current living situation. And of course, with the garnishment that might not even make financial sense. You know your situation better than me, i'm just throwing ideas out there!
