TheOctonaut,

This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called “With an egg on top”.

TheOctonaut,

What kind of “tHaNk yOu fOr yOuR sErViCe”-brain nonsense made you think anything but a sliver of people would look at “man with gun” and think Seal?

TheOctonaut,

I don’t think you know what critical thinking means because it isn’t “aware of niche American military units”

TheOctonaut,

That’s inductive reasoning, Bobby, not critical thinking.

And yes, I gathered that this dude is apparently a seal of some sort, but that’s not the English language, that’s uncreative branding. It’s the same word, reused, not a different word also spelled ‘seal’.

TheOctonaut,

After its initial flight, the Phoenix was likely studied by teams of scientists before it was eventually put on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

I read through this awful crap article so that you didn’t have to. This is the sum total of the information provided and half the sentence is baseless speculation.

TheOctonaut,

Soy. The whole thing is a far right allegory for the effects of soy to reminisce society. A literal sheeple then tries to have them all muzzled when they just act according to their own natural state to get to taste real red meat. In the end the liberal vegetarians win, a dark ending for conservatives but not as dark as the abortion arc they had to cut out where the right wing fox deals with the liberal bunny killing his unborn.

TheOctonaut,

I stay out too late! I headbang like an ape! Yeah that’s what people say, mmhmm

TheOctonaut,

Who still plays this shit? Who is buying a new Call of Duty every 12 months?

TheOctonaut,

Should never have shacked up with Paradox. They had plenty of DLC before, and putting trams in a snow map pack was despicable, but now we know to wait 3 or 4 years for a humble bundle of most stuff needed for a complete game. And if they don’t get those 3 or 4 years, it will have been their own fault.

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

TheOctonaut, (edited )

I’ve never agreed with someone on this and yet been certain they are wearing polished coal rings before

TheOctonaut,

Uh, yeah? It’s all in the phone book anyway

TheOctonaut,

What a nonsensical, vote-baiting statement. Why should either sex be better at using a computer?

TheOctonaut,

Weird, you assume I’m a man.

I am, but then again on the Internet I could be anyone I want to be. I could tell you I manage a software dev team that is majority female. What’s the point? I could also tell you I’m Ada fucking Lovelace risen from the crypt.

Skill with a computer has nothing to do with sex or gender. It’s almost entirely down to experience and exposure at an age when you’re willing to break things and learn from it - or capturing that attitude at whatever age.

TheOctonaut,

Do you often accuse women of being dickheads who are part of misogyny? Or are you just using a pathetic excuse to pretend you didnt read the next paragraph? Grow up. It’s the Internet. Nobody is going to remember that you were silly.

TheOctonaut,

They are just in a list. You can sort and filter the list, and certain small items will get added to pouches, eg keys.

The only issue is that the game doesn’t signal what is worth picking up and what is not. If you’re an obsessive, you can pick up 20 things in every room. Most of then are only interactive so that you can throw them at people. If you want to pick up 500 candles from a castle and sell them at 0.5gp each, you can. If you mean to do so, fine. If you’re just doing it because slamming “take all” from every corpse is quicker, well then you are causing your problem.

If you pick up the weapon of every enemy you’ve killed, you kind of deserve it. That isn’t d&d. By the second act you have magical weapons and never need a common weapon or armour again.

TheOctonaut,

…are you suggesting that for a smaller number, they achieved immortality?

TheOctonaut,

The irony of Firerfox officially agent spoofing while everyone else uses some variant of “Mozilla” as their UAS is too much.

TheOctonaut,

Is there a language where I can alias return as “Ultimately ,”

TheOctonaut,

Read the shitty meme again

TheOctonaut,

Is this like that “the 90s were 10 years ago” effect? The viking age was 1,000 years ago. More, really.

500 years ago the world had been circumnavigated

TheOctonaut,

Please attend a very basic civics class

TheOctonaut,

Dicorini*

What should be used for anonymous usernames?

More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique,...

TheOctonaut,

That’s what you think, Michael

TheOctonaut,

Can I ask, in the friendliest way possible and purely for my curiosity so I really don’t expect an answer, how you balance “higher power” with “doesn’t use it”? The way you’ve described it could be interrupted as anything from an otherwise traditional Christian who doesn’t believe in directly answered prayers, to believing that this is some sort of simulation we will wake up from.

TheOctonaut, (edited )

Is this game finished yet? How much does the uncut edition cost at this point?

TheOctonaut,

Please tell me you can play a single campaign without playing the horny bard, buying slaves, or torturing goblin prisoners

TheOctonaut,

No it wasn’t.

TheOctonaut,

WebP is definitely the VHS in this scenario - editing and creating images is NOT the most common use of image files. Not by a long shot. It’s for distribution of images, which is vastly more common a usage.

And there is nothing technically deficient about WebP for editing either - it’s just a new image format that came to popularity in the last 18 months. I’m old enough to remember JPEG being new, and it had the same things said about it. If you’re doing anything serious, both JPEG and WebP are the distribution format of your master image that you keep for yourself in a bitmap format.

TheOctonaut,

TheOctonaut,

Every time I see a photo myself from 5 or more years ago I wonder how I could have thought back then that I was fat and old.

This sounds like self-love. It is not.

TheOctonaut,

So does nobody read the spell description for Mending, or…

This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as broken chain link, two halves of a broken key

How many people are neatly snapping their phone into two halves?

TheOctonaut,

Holy shit I’m suddenly glad it was the weird country music thing

TheOctonaut,

My friend, what cursed mashup of Neighbours and Heartbeat are you watching?

Neighbours m.imdb.com/title/tt0088580/

Heartbeat m.imdb.com/title/tt0101114/

TheOctonaut,

Don’t break my heart, my achy spacey heart

TheOctonaut,

Are you… Rubbing the phone on your face?!

TheOctonaut,

Why sit next to someone not watching the movie while they watch the movie and actively interrupt them watching the movie?

TheOctonaut,

I’m sorry none of that has anything to do with ADHD. If anything ADHD is great for helping make connections from disparate sources as, for better or for worse, 15 things pass through your brain every second. And as someone with ADHD, trying to talk to me during a movie is incredibly annoying, because I’m either hyperfocused on the movie or working very hard to focus on it. If I’m not focused on it, I probably don’t care about it very much, so I’m not going to be asking questions to try to keep up.

All of this sounds like your sister has made “ask questions” part of her “try very hard to focus” routine but that is her quirk, not an ADHD trait. I can only imagine nobody has annoyed her in this way so hasn’t thought about it.

TheOctonaut,

Hey ChatGPT, how do I cure tinnitus?

TheOctonaut,

Probably people who understand how to make their computer do what they want it to? You control who your software talks to.

Well, at least at the application level.

TheOctonaut,

Well yes, they don’t care that much, so I’m not see the hypocrisy you implied.

The Internet is a series of tubes. The tubes that deliver you file content are rarely the same tubes that carry usage and telemetry data. You can also open or close these tubes at will. Like a Valve!

TheOctonaut,

It’s nothing to do with ports. Teach yourself how to use a hosts file and you’ll be a happier user

TheOctonaut,

mac

Yeah it’s for people working though?

TheOctonaut,

Well yes, the example given is from 2001

TheOctonaut,

I know people will say “It’s not zero sum!” but if there’s something that is more stupidly human than putting literally any effort into renaming animals while we literally wipe them out, I can’t think of it.

TheOctonaut,

Right, but they’re specifically talking about breaking your pact with (the Christian) god. Like, y’know, the devil did. Warlocks were devils, not protégés of devils.

TheOctonaut,

It is completely overblown, and most people seem to be picturing the people from Red Dead Redemption and not a dead brand name that a Swedish security company bought to do collections under. Yes if you have sensitive possessions of a company they will send someone to get it, not trust you to mail it back to them.

The context that this was to prevent an NDA and happened within a month of someone else breaching an NDA with a leak that had a handful of noisy people declaring D&D dead is also pretty important, but never mentioned. It would never have even been a story without that context.

TheOctonaut,

Do Larian deserve your money less because they licensed trademarks from a company that considered and then backed down from a license change? And for this you’ll rob yourself of a fantastic experience? What a strange value system. Wait until you find out how they made sausages, or your phone.
