my game theory is that the man in the original lucasarts logo is george lucas himself

you gotta repost it, or i'll never know what the asschap thread is in reference to

since you can't patch that out, it seems to me you should just disable windows update and avoid the hassle

i liked the history lesson where sushi was invented, then americans added avocado to it 2000 years later

well, at least you're protected from malware doing those things

it's so funny they named it copilot. the ejection seat and plane wreck jokes quite literally write themselves.

i'm so jealous you get to play GAA for the first time

i'm aware of the text problem, and i'm going to get around it by playing it on switch and using the clip saving feature and/or the text history which was added in the hd versions

the english localisation is a mixed bag for me. i love the wit and general flow of the dialogue, i'm perfectly happy with the english names, i don't like the americentricness, and i hate how they keep digging when more and more japanese themed stuff keeps popping up and they need to explain how all this could possibly be happening in california. in the end, i kept coming back to play more of the games, so i guess it did its job.

in a sense, i did defeat duolingo. that thing is engineered to get you hooked on dopamine, with all the satisfying pling sounds and the leaderboards and stuff. clearly, i prevailed.

if i do get through ace attorney, i'll probably end up having learnt a disproportionate number of words related to anime court. i'm not sure how useful those will be in the duolingo's later courses.

anyone else reading this in 2024

can't tell if this is legit spam or a /u/twovests joke

was today

If facebook wanted to extinguish the fediverse, they could simply spread rumours about making a compatible social media site, and then watch as the ensuing inter-instance drama completes the job for them

Films and tv shows on dvd.

I could do blu-ray now, i guess, but i've yet to see shelves full of them in charity shops, where i can get dvds for cheap. Also i have no idea if they'll play in vlc without any fuss.

Anything to do with physical media tends to get so much worse over time, it's really depressing

I saw people on twitter discussing whether they'd get the physical release of gta vi or not, as if the game's actually gonna be on the disc lol

Anyway I should have mentioned my two drives are from around the same time period. So although I briefly mention how bad stuff has become, the topic is really the quality of a product they put their name on vs that of one they were too embarrassed to put their name on

i really regret making /f/ the prefix, due to /f/art

but it also makes it /f/artificialintelligence, so who's to say if it's bad or not

i, too, like to spend my free time being completely normal

yes json apis you count too

*whispers into mic* especially json apis

they all have their place and purpose

in the case of unix timestamps, i seem to disagree with a lot of people what those are. i think using them in places where you expect humans to look is a bad use of them.

we get 1:3:12 twice a day, though

still have not played this yet

although steam disagreed and would not give me a refund

i'm not good at the whole music production thing, so i just stick to tossing knives and forks and computer peripherals around

Ed Balls

that might work, but they've been known to remove ways of deshittifying windows in updates. for instance, there's like a bunch of group policies that no longer have any effect on windows 10 version so-and-so or higher. so who knows how long it'll work? my solution avoids this problem by just blocking updates entirely.

the key to owning a windows computer without the fuss is to uninstall all the bothersome updates and use Windows Defender with Advanced Security to block all outgoing traffic, except from the programs you use. although idk if windows 11 can be reverted to a "good" state, but it works on 10.

i've had this setup for several months now and it's been great. i don't have to worry about microsoft pushing updates that add an annoying malware-like bing ai search bar that keeps coming back after a while when you turn it off. i can put my computer to sleep and come back the next morning and find everything was exactly as i left it.

highly recommend if using linux just isn't an option for you
