You can replace "blasts" with "mentions"

I would be an anti american antipope.

No, not self deprecating. Most people just aren't that good of people.

I just need to be realistic. I've tried doing it before and it never sticks. It works better and is easier to stick with if I move to it over time, because I know myself and I know that I will just slip later on and drop it altogether in the future if I don't.

No two ways about it in that I'm like most people: not that good of a person tbh.

That's just an artifact of how I made this (I just used python to stat the files and check their mtime, and not their birth time since python doesn't easily allow you to do that) and the fact that I've moved this collection from device to device a couple of times, so some timestamps are not really accurate. So a lot of files that are much older than their mtime show up as last modified on a certain day.

I think most of the files have an mtime of 2013, which is when I bought the first external hard drive this media collection lived on. It's grown over time and moved to different devices; currently it's on a NAS that has about 12 terrabytes of storage that I created in the early part of the pandemic. SInce it's SO much bigger than what I had before I ended up starting to download bigger files so the rate of increase shot up after I moved it to this NAS.

This has a few errors in it (i called it % full when it's actually not scaled to 100, for starters) but it gives me an idea of what rate it's growing at so that's something.

Still I'd like it to look nicer.

Yeah my first idea is literally just find all the file sizes and time stamps, sort by time stamp, then have a running total of the size. Then make a scatter plot with the X axis as the time and the Y axis as the total size.

Just a simple trend line, I could just do it with google sheets probably pretty easily.

I suggest targeting critical supply chain choke points.

A whole game that's an escort mission would probably not be much fun tbh. Everyone hates missions specifically in shooter games where you have to protect someone because there's usually not good ways to block them from damage, so if she was constantly in danger of dying and you couldn't control where she went it'd be a real slog I think.

It could be fun if done well I just can't think how to do it well

I remember thinking it was fun to play, and a more interesting and dynamic experience than bioshock 1 was, and I liked the story more or less but the politics are just dogshit.

I haven't played it since it came out though and it was never that remarkable to me that I had strong opinions beyond "this is fun and the dewit backstory is interesting but it's trying to both-sides the union wars and manifest destiny??"

this is me right now regarding their various policies

nope pretty good apple i gotta say

It's done. I ate the apple.

I've already started eating it

You say please and thank you

I think that's right. I use the OS myself and I once went in to their matrix chat to ask for help on something because the way notifications worked had changed (I wanted to mute some notifs and not others and couldn't figure it out).

Immediately the main developer replied telling me I was doing it wrong, the way notifications worked in the OS was right and working as intended, and I was wrong and didn't get it. And I was like what the hell man. I came in here saying "I don't understand this, can someone please help me figure out how to use it?" And I was still accused of being a dumbass who didn't get it.

I don't find them credible either, I just find the way they go sicko mode on everyone all the time weird and feels like what you'd do to put up a smokescreen.

I don't think they're doing that necessarily, I think thestinger just has Mental Health, like a lot of us do. But seriously it's an awful way to present the project.
