I really would like a modern phone similar to a Danger Hiptop (aka the Sidekick) just for the actual buttons and scroll wheel and the coolness of flipping the screen open.

“Model collapse” is just a fancy way of saying “our stupid ideas are bad and nobody wants them.”

I saw something where they gave their kid a pager instead of a phone so they could still be told when to come home but couldn’t waste time fucking about online.

I thought that might actually be pretty effective except for the fact that the kid could easily just ignore your pages.

translates to “sea land.”

Ah sweet. Can I see Shamu?

Worst Harry Potter book ever.

“Align your chakras, warm up your crystals, pray for the summer and winter solstices, wait until the stars and planets are aligned but Mercury is also in retrograde…”

Sure but how do I share that with everyone else when I come up with a banger of a prompt?

Whenever I’m upset my chihuahua mix lays on my chest like he’s protecting me from predators.

I’m sure it wouldn’t taste bad, but the texture would violently throw me off.

My writing has its gyatt out for the rizzler.

Garbage ads have been a thing almost since the dawn of the Internet and we found a solution to them years ago. They’re called ad blockers. If you are online and not using an ad blocker: Why? That’s like finding a $2/night hooker and not using a condom.

It requires a bit of tweaking to get TOTK to not be locked to 30fps. I’m not sure if a Deck could get a solid 60 in it; it still takes a bit of a beast to do that. But running it at the normal 30fps is easier and somehow it still looks smoother than other games at 30fps.

Now, of course, you can simply install some Libre operating system and use Lemmy, or Mastodon or whatever. But computers are so embedded into society that it is simply impossible to go without these services unless you want to get yourself isolated (and potentially in trouble with the authorities).

Lol what?

“If you don’t use Mastodon or Lemmy you might get in trouble with the law!”

You mean it’s not?

Hey! I had the same mobile as a baby. 😃

Cool sidenote: the Dreamcast controllers had two slots. I wonder if they had cool interactions, like the MSX, the SuFami Turbo, and the relatively more modern but more distantly related Metal Gear Solid where Psycho Mantis comments on what other games you’ve been playing based on the saves on your memory card.

They could probably read the card data (I mean, they would have to in order to load saves off 'em anyway) and do the Psycho Mantis thing. Though I can’t recall any of the games I have for it doing it. I do remember one of them being able to determine if the VMU was a full VMU or just a memory card because it wouldn’t let you install the little VMU game it had to anything but an actual VMU with a screen. Trying to put it on a 3rd party memory card that didn’t have the screen would give an error.

So is it just for 2D games? It sounds and looks a bit like RPG Maker.

A bum gardener, eh?
