  • That appears to be a Redoran Watchman's Helm, or some variety Bonemold.

  • 'fast travel' is gamer-friendly language for a mass transit network
  • I'm Morrowind these are literally the same thing (excluding teleportation spells).

  • What are your favorite Indie Games from the last 5 or so years?
  • I'm a big fan of Pathologic 2. Had been aware of Pathologic for years but finally played the remake after learning of it from this Hbomberguy video.

    Calling it survival horror doesn't really communicate what the game is but it's a start. It's heavily dialog driven, and very deeply thought out. Reading the artbook I noticed references to internal contradictions as sources of tension and evolution, which was neat.

  • Remember when people thought they found invisible alien fish but it turned out to just be bugs?
  • Dinosaurs never existed. Surprisingly this isn't just for young-earth creationists anymore - it's also a lie perpetrated by the government/elites.

    internet-delenda-est

  • Hit one year since graduation. Still unemployed. Still super fuckin bummed about it, still super worried about the future.
  • this

    Personal projects and open source contribution are great ways to build a portfolio outside of employment.

  • NSFW
    [CW: Blood] We are so back
  • why is there so much pressure, ew.

  • Good news people!
  • wouldn't have the same appeal. It would be weird, wouldn't be credentialed and sanctified through the act of purchase.

  • Microplastics are stored in the balls
  • if I have a vasectomy there's nothing exiting my balls when I cum, does that mean my balls are slowly filling with plastic?

  • Your brain does not process information and it is not a computer | Aeon Essays
  • Have you read Göedel, Escher, Bach? It's a cool book, I recommend it!

  • Your brain does not process information and it is not a computer | Aeon Essays
  • outside of couple of weirdos, people cannot remember gibberish, try to remember hash number of something for a day

    Don't appreciate the ableist language here just because nerudodivergence is inconvenient to your argument. I can fairly easily memorize my credit card number.

  • Spot the danger noodle
  • no need, because they make a lot of noise, yeah?

  • Autism
  • Gotta say this is one ASD trait that I very much don't have and is kind of hard to relate to.

  • Autism
  • The DOI number is nowhere in this post so 🤷

  • Netflix is becoming an ad-tech company. The streamer is bringing its development in-house.
  • they finally kicked me off my friend's account and I don't even care becasue their library is consistently pretty mid, and their originals are consistently bad.

  • Is propane or charcoal grilling better?

    the place I just moved into has a nice outdoor area and came with a (pretty busted but functional) propane grill. we're thinking of replacing it but maybe it's worth considering charcoal? !Bwaaa

    Watching 3 body problem and remembering a nitpick I have with it (spoilers for the VR game plot)

    So the computer based solution proposed by Newton and Turing is rejected because the system is chaotic, meaning a general solution will always diverge from reality.

    What I don't get is: this should still be good enough Run your solution every month or so, with updated measurements, and you'll have an ongoing "forecast" of conditions.

    I'm referencing weather because that's we do. A weather forecast is a prediction of a chaotic system, but of one which changes every day or so. Prediction difficulty is dependent on local conditions and weather type, but we can still make predictions.

    A gravitational system of 4 mutually interacting bodies is muuuuuch simpler than weather, and could be predicted far enough in advance to let a civilization adapt and persist!

    Thinking of coming out of gamer retirement to replay Oblivion

    It's got a great soundtrack and pretty pleasant vibes. Probably be a mage or spellsword.

    Anyone have the 2023 numbers on energy transition spending by country

    These are the 2021 numbers. I have a printout of the 2022 numbers (china 546B, US 141B) but not a digital copy.

    This page indicates that the 2023 numbers are out but I can't get access to the report. anyone got the new version of this chart?

    Need help finding a meme (da share zone possibly)

    Does anyone know the one that goes:

    Thanks in advance

    "upgraded" to Visual Studio Pro after using Visual Studio Code for years

    I switched because my workplace has licenses for VSPro, and IT doesn't want us grabbing our own stuff off the internet.

    What a disappointment! it's worse, and harder to use in almost every way. For the record I'm coding in Python and just need git integration and a debugger.

    It's such a step back in design language and usability. Love to ignore free software in favor of its expensive "professional" counterpart !shatter

    Moral/social dilemma with friend's cat

    It's looking like my friend can only go through with a long term (at least 6 months) move overseas they've been working on if I take care of their cat.

    I haven't offered this and am not particularly fond of this cat. I don't want to integrate another animal into my home.

    Here's the kicker: the friend is a roommate so the cat already lives here (in their room).

    Not sure what to do. Like I want my friend to get to go, but at what cost? I'm sure they'll resent it if I don't help, and I am ready for them to move out !makima-think

    But again I really don't like this cat very much, she's really unfriendly with our cat and dog.

    I feel like it's unreasonable to not offer to help.

    On the aerodynamic similarities between fishnet stockings and the dimples on a golf ball.

    My legs feel more sensitive to air flow when wearing fishnets than when bare. The pattern they make on my leg is similar to that of the dimples on a golf ball, which induce a turbulent boundary layer on the surface of the ball to reduce drag.

    If fishnets are causing the same effect, there would be changes in heat transfer but I'm not sure I'm up to digging into the differential equations.

    In short, I'm thinking about wearing fishnets while cycling for aero.

    what's a good VPN that supports port forwarding? (Ubuntu 22.04)

    I like Mullvad but it doesn't support port forwarding, which I'd like in order seed torrents effectively. I have symmetrical up/down speeds but barely use the upload speed and I want to help out a lil more !kitty-cri-texas

    Thanks in advance

    How should I fix these shoes?

    I've got these thin-soled shoes that are foot shaped and I really like them, but the damn insoles creep backward in the shoe because of how I walk.

    I can just take them out by what little padding they provide is quite helpful comfort & the fit of the shoe.

    Is there a glue that could adhere cork to leather while remaining flexible?

    Waging a protracted people's war on every invasive on my property.

    3 species eliminated as threats. New challengers appear but I grow stronger as their attacks grow more feeble. The successive progression of ecology is restored.
