waa the lighting in the second panel is so evocative!

imho depending on the success of shit like the steam deck and machine, we could see the functional death of console gaming (as it exists now) within the next decade or two. sony and MS are behaving as though the console market is a private garden they can suddenly start building walls around.

highly recommend the demo, it’s the full first chapter! the controls are super fun, but it’s hard to explain specifically why hahah

skate story, i’ve beaten it twice and still wanna play more! by FAR the coolest skating game i’ve ever played.

fuck yes, i want a friendslop farming game in ue2 so bad

ah dammit, that’s actually compelling reasoning! lmao

bc-250 builds are pretty cool!

tech hobbyists are unkillable as cockroaches. if we all get priced out of new parts, we’ll build our computers with e-waste.

dyslexia may be a factor

i think PCSX2 is the maddest i’ve ever been over a name. i’ve been using it for YEARS and have to double check the spelling every single time i type it.

i love looking at old pictures of people pointing at signs and imagining them making that wojack face

FOUR KILOBYTES

holy christ the lowest i’ve ever seen was at least like 24 megs, that’s heinous

i use mine for cooking hahah

if you look hard enough you can find em used for $20, generally with a fine edge lol. $20 for a new knife is almost always gonna get you something less than ideal, unless you’re really picky with brands or can buy at dealer prices.

like i’d trust anything from morakniv to hold up wonderfully, and the risberg is only $19, or you could get a basic 511 or 546 for like $14. they’re one of the best values in fixed blade bushcraft style knives i reckon.

but outside of them, i don’t know that i’d trust much at that price point.

i mean, yeah? if you shape and profile it by hand, even shitty steel can be turned into a very useful tool. the question quickly becomes “is hours of my labor worth less than $20?” hahahah

if you’re fine with slowly destroying the serrations, the same way you sharpen any knife!

actually though serrations are generally only cut from one side, so you can very carefully sure up and hone the flat side. the opposite you would do with something like a flat ground tanto.

if you wanna be REALLY careful you can use a round sharpener that matches the size of the serrations and hit each one individually. this will also redefine their points if they’ve been dulled by less careful sharpening.

although since it’s also a cutco knife you can just send it to them for free sharpening, you just have to pay for postage.

even before this there were SWATHS of weird incels raging out bc aloy wasn’t “pretty” enough for them.

that looks like they did the 90s thing where you just stretch a picture across a smooth face model.

that’s the funny thing, they’re legitimately fine knives. i worked at a restaurant that had been using cutco knives for years before i got there, and they held up better than certain “commercial quality” knives we got from our supplier.

they’re by no means “good”, but they’re perfectly serviceable and will last a LONG time. i used their ungodly 9” serrated carving fella as my goto veggie prep knife for literally 7 years. it was super predictable and i could butcher a pound of veg faster than anyone else on staff hahahah
