I’ve got a bunch of games and homebrew on my 3ds, so I’d bring that.

[software] -> [software]-rs

As is Rust tradition.

That one would definitely break grandparents.

Also I wish I had a girlfriend like the second from the right (right above Garfield).

Here’s my best shot at explaining. Unlike my grandma, you’ll know more about video game and internet culture already :)

The character is Alyx from Half-Life 2. “Source Filmmaker” is an app that lets you pose and animate characters from Valve games and is frequently used for meme videos. It was likely used to pose Alyx’s face this way.

Here is a picture of this meme that I saw before this one (I think it’s the original for the format).

This was most a meme from a few years ago, around the time when air fryers were becoming more popular and squid game had recently released.

The meme pokes fun at the “elitist” attitude many people with air fryers had, as they swore by using them for everything. A key trait is the smirk expression the person in the picture has.

I definitely did not know this and I definitely do not have any of those images saved on my phone. ;)

Btw I need to find a new instance to keep using Voyager, Beehaw isn’t updating and they’re planning to move platforms. Thoughts/recommendations?

Denuvo is great for pushing players to older or indie games, games free of exploitive design.

All DRM is anti-consumer and negatively impacts paying customers. I’m open to friendly discussion on this opinion :)

Utah, USA checks out 😏

Context:

Façade is an artificial intelligence-based interactive story created in 2005 by Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern.

Façade

The engine does have some quirks, however; for example, saying the word "melon" at any time will result in the player being kicked out immediately, due to the slang term referring to a woman’s breast, despite other meanings not used in a vulgar way.

Windows and MacOS are “noob-friendly” for those who use them for simple purposes and out-of-the-box. As soon as you want to do something more advanced, you’re back to googling and installing software from a variety of sources.

Many linux distros are like that too (others are just not noob-friendly at all), but centralized package management and documentation are nice.

I’m really glad to be away from registry editing, 50 app icons in the tray, and navigating my way through settings to control panel so I can actually fix my audio devices or network options.

I’m on Arch now, so I still have plenty of configuration and software, but I know the systems and choose explicitly which ones I use. If something isn’t working or is annoying, it’s my fault.

The reviews probably correspond with covid outbreaks.

I’m not sure how or why he would’ve come across that data, but as far as competing companies go…

There definitely weren’t any widespread virus outbreaks in December 2021 and 2022 which affect the ability to smell, that’s for sure! /s

Kidding aside, maybe covid was just a really complex form of corporate sabotage between candle companies 🤔

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

I realized I have a spare port on my motherboard to control an extra pwm fan (in addition to my blower fan).

Given the option, would it be better to use it for my hotend fan or for my part cooling fans? I’m primarily looking to reduce noise while printing (I have a pin completely cutting power to the fans when the machine is idle).
