I was lucky to have survived having gone my first 5 years of life with a heart valve that was back bleeding.

I also cannot tell when I’m having a ear infection unless liquid comes oozing out. I have had some many in my life that they just don’t hurt at all.

I personally think AROS ( AROS Research Operating Syste ) is pretty cool. Same with just the basic Amiga Workbench 3 series ( the only one I have any experience with ).

Obviously Amiga Workbench isn’t daily driver ready, but neither is AROS since it’s, from what I can tell, just an Amiga OS passion project trying to make a more modern more open source Amiga OS.

Vibe coding ain’t any different from going to any website in the world, copying whatever code you can find, and then wondering why your PC has been infected with ransomware because you’re too dumb to understand what any of the code does.

It’s also extremely unprofessional, in my opinion, and, also in my opinion, shows you don’t understand a programming language enough to be using it in a professional setting ( for software regardless of whether it’s private or public use ) whilst also being too lazy to read any form of documentation.

Anyone who calls themselves an"vibe coder" are people I assume never passed kindergarten because clearly they lack any form of critical thinking.

I’ll have to look into that. Never heard of it. I’m sadly one of the adults who doesn’t read as much as I should from books/ebooks. I’m working on changing that, so I’ll absolutely look into this.

Probably Sonic Mega Collection because it really got me into platformers and made me into a Sonic fan. Kinda solidified my taste in games a little as I’ll gladly take a family friendly platformer like Sonic or other titles like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Yooka-Laylee over an online PVP game like any call of duty because Sonic taught me to love platformers more, even to this day.

Also kinda solidified the fact that I’d rather casually play through a lot of games and not be that guy who tries to be perfect at a game. That caused me to get where I am today where I’ll play co-op in a game but avoid full-on PVP with a random group of people because I know they’ll mop the floor with me and I’d just end up quitting before giving the game a fair shot.

As someone who loves random chance, I would gladly take that over them filming themselves on social media committing crimes like the average teenage t|kt0k user loves to do from what I hear, I swear.

I choose to be delusional and let things play out a little further before saying everything is fucked. If we just gave up now and accepted it’s dead, then they’ll make sure it’s dead. If we hold hope and keep protesting ( even the violent ones ) something might change.

Maybe not quite that old, but old enough that the really soft blanket I got for Christmas was the highlight. Even over the real nice headphones I got that I’ve fallen in love with.

Though, I was recently thinking of getting myself a couple towels all for myself and was kinda excited at the prospect of having my own couple towels my family can’t use, so maybe I’m nearly there.

Just for the comedy that might ensue from how horrible of a president he’d be, my vote is Principal Dr. Cinnamon J. Scudworth with Buttlertron as his VP.

Either that, or if possible, as a slightly more serious answer, why not have someone like an actual scientist like Professor Professor from The Secret Show with Name Changed Daily as the VP ( or vice versa )? They already run a not-so-secret spy organization, so why not?

You confirmed my suspicions. I immediately looked at the tag and knew it probably wasn’t a Discman because there ain’t no way Sony wouldn’t have trademarked that name.

Ain’t no way that’s a Discman. I have a Sony one from the 90s on my desk, for one. Two, I thought Sony had the trademark on Discman? And three, that’s Panasonic and doesn’t have Discman anywhere on it.

So unless Discman wasn’t trademarked and became synonymous with CD players, I refuse to accept that’s a discman!

The people buying them either raise them to be aggressive or don’t even bother doing any work with them and wonder why people don’t like pitbulls.

A lot. Though it’s hard to put a price on some things because they’re software for discontinued products ( old game consoles, Amiga software, etcetera ) and aren’t sold as they were, even if some of them are still sold for other platforms.

The original Japanese version of The Ring. Keep the Ring spirit, whoever played Sadako.

I kinda meant a place where the author(s) and researcher(s) could scrub any identifiable info like their names and/or anything else that would help identify them in order to get their work out, either as author/researcher anonymous or under a random pseudonym, if it isn’t safe for them to publish under their working conditions.

Despite using MX only for a relatively short time, just messing around in a VM for a long period of time would increase my odds of switching to something else*.

*when I need to switch to something else or find something a lot better

This is why we need an open access oasis where people can anonymously and securely drop their research papers, hosted in a safe country. Still wanna create my own but I’m too broke and don’t have enough skill to pull it off.

That is absolutely egregious. 200GB game with a 45GB update? You’d be lucky to see me installing a game that’s around 20-30GB max anymore because I consider that to be the most acceptable amount of bloat for a game anymore.

Probably. Though it also doesn’t help with how old it is considering I can do fine enough on city skylines.

I absolutely suck at it, but I started a save on SimCity 3000. I have a lot of learning to do because my city is 100% dying, so I should probably run through the tutorial…

I have also been doing very minor chip damage on completing Gemcraft: Chasing Shadows. I’m far enough along it takes a long time for me to beat any levels. And probably even longer when I finally am able to beat the 200+ wave level.

I also discovered that Portal is now 7.63GB in size currently, after buying The Orange Box for $3.99 and wanting to check out a mod I found for Portal that I didn’t realize wasn’t released yet. Don’t know how big the game originally was on launch, but now it’s nearing the 11.88 GB size of Portal 2, which I find insane.

I also kept failing at Zuma Deluxe due to bad luck and skill issues on my end.
