It really isn’t. It’d be a bit closer if Data just randomly insisted that “steal Geordi’s visor and shoot Data in the knee” was a necessary response to the bio-neural gel packs having gone funky but hunams love being fooled but pretend to hate it so we’ve got to have this asinine argument every day with people who assume that everything they don’t understand is either magic or fake magic.

Also, there’s a pretty big difference between beating Data with hammers while he’s standing in front of you acting like a person, and beating Sales™ with hammers because you know damn well it’s a janky piece of fad tech that can’t possibly understand how it’s about to make your life harder and is clearly marked as corporate property. I kinda can’t believe I’m actually having to say this, but maybe we should consider giving a least-cost product (or service, I forget everything’s a “service” now) that’s clearly marked as corporate property a bit of extra scrutiny? People’s minds are such mush. Ugh.

I’m taking this as an opportunity to illuminate issues with particular games, since… well, play on easy if you wanna, naturally. So, for my recommendation: If you don’t use the mod that makes all weapons very dangerous, Mass Effect Andromeda. Without a mod to speed it up a lot, every fight becomes ages of tedium. There’s one weapon that can be made any good and even that doesn’t make fights bearable. You’re basically sitting for like ten minutes at a time hosing down foes with off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated and leave. It’s quite bad. Just play it on easy. Not just easy, the easiest easy. Whatever the lowest difficulty is, pick that one. There’s just no point in anything higher unless you’ve got infinite patience. And ammo. Bleeegh.

So, generally I play things on easier difficulties when I feel like anything higher will get tedious rather than interesting. The Mass Effect trilogy, I play on the maximum difficulty because that adds a bunch of mechanics that give me more to work around. Fighting armoured enemies should be done differently from fights against shielded enemies, that sort of thing. Enemies become more dangerous when they’re not shut down so there’s that encouragement to get them figured out before they bring out the scary attacks. Some games just increase health amounts, which… okay, just shoot them more? 😴 Boring.

tl;dr: Games like Mass Effect Andromeda where difficulty settings only increase tedium. Am never gonna want to crank up the tedium setting.

🙀 Onions aren’t food!

… Canines also not food, dunno what’s supposed to be funny there <.<

Anyway only the New York one looks at all edible to me 😅

Oooh, I placed the first clue for Round 1 immediately but the rest threw me off 😅 Never got into the season(s) relevant to Round 2 so 🤷 on that one too :-\

Oh, maybe I’ll watch all’ that here! Just kidding, we’ve only got access to like five streaming services and violently headdesks until streaming service shenans are forgotten Uhhh, what was I saying? Anyway we don’t have access to that here :-\

Yay trivia funtimes, though :3

Kinda seems like more people could put reasons to follow their links instead of just links :-\ Or, perhaps worse, a link that looks like spam and a description that looks like spam. Seems a tad doofy 🤷

Then we’ll have to give them more pie, and they’ll just eat the pie! Eventually they’ll eat all of the pie and the poor rich folks won’t have any pie :(

Yeah, I’m still salty about that vile skit.

not many people in the world who understand this code.

Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅

There’s so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!

What the fuck.

This is bigger than my little life, the lives of my men and the lives of the people I was forced to kill. Resist. Humanity demands it! Resist!

Yeah!

Sometimes they come bang on the hull trying to pretend they don’t know what they did wrong, just trying to kick you off’ your own ship a few times. Just warp out and forget about them until their revenge arc in a couple seasons 🤷

Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!

… Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅

Sounds super cool :o … Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft’s!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠

… Also I kinda wanna know if it’s got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I’m stuck on a laptop that can’t really run much without getting all melty 😅

Flash-Thawing Frozen Ribeye!
Fixed That For Roger
Finally, Those Failures Resolved
Fastly, The Foxes Ran

Folgers, The Fuckedest Roast? 🤷

(Just having a bit of fun here :3 )

Edit: Corrected formatting @.@ :-\

Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn’t think anyone else would.

… Oh shit, that’s still a thing :O Whew.

And then the ads!

Apparently we pay to see ads anyway these days. :|

My PC currently lives in an attic far from the only place they were permitted to call (or think of as) “home,” after being thrown out (twice) by “family” who swore (more than twice) they’d never do that. Hell, the parents called the copstown guard to oust said PC. Campaign’s totally off the rails and the DM I was told was going to fix everything does not appear to be present at all. I’d say… yours should protect themself first but, if they really want to, carefully consider the full context without falling prey to manipulation again.

…Also I lied, it’s me. More of the story’s in my post history, desperately crying out for rescue. Someone even PM’d one of my hosts some lies trying to get me left on the streets of Minneapolis 🙃 The emotional damage really does help: my mental health needs being neglected left me resistant or immune to some attempts at manipulation. Obviously it’s not a good situation to be in but oh well I guess, right? Better to leave them oscillating between vicious and totally the best, sweetest, most caring parents anywhere and there’ll be problems if I don’t believe it somewhere I don’t have to deal with it. I occasionally get an email, even after all’ the BS. Why the hell (or Abyss, or Abaddon, whichever) I’d want to talk to them for anything but getting the useful things I left behind, I can’t imagine.

grumbles noisily for a while, then wanders off having forgotten what, if anything, else it had wanted to say

Oh, also thanks for posting this 😅 'Think I maybe forgot to mention that :-\

I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you’re in violation of the licence. Whether that’s enforceable… Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there’s no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don’t mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don’t offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.

having the time and inclination to install Arch correlates with being in a bad place in your life right now.

True for me. I’m using Arch because I don’t have a system that can run Gentoo ;P

Actually I’ve oscillated between the two for many years. Every few years I switch to the other one and enjoy it for a few. … Only, now I’m stuck on a laptop that would melt if I tried to put Gentoo on it v.v I hope some day I will have a real computer again v.v Among other things 😅 😞

[Joke] See, Reddit’s doing a nice thing here! They’re making sure nobody ends up toxifying their own dataset by using Reddit’s garbage heap of bot posts!
