   My favorite one was a fansite for the original NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy. Wonder if it's still up

   Clearly. What's there to be awkward about? You should be enjoying the coffee you came there for

   What happens when the AI perfects the art of writing? From one turing test goalpost to the next, fooling the human utterly each time until it's forever. Is there a ceiling to this?

   Redbar is the only thing I listen to but unfortunately this has been a bad year for shows.

   I used to invert them but realized two things: 1: anyone can adapt to any control scheme given enough time (which isn't much) 2: majority of games default to, and people play with, non inverted controls. If you don't see yourself playing flight sims constantl y, it's just easier for everyone involved to learn the noninverted controls so that no one has to constantly change control mappings

   For getting the feel of the milky way, I think there's nothing that is better able to simulate it than a video game, ala Elite Dangerous. I loved to navigate its galaxy map. The size of the Milky Way, the numbers of stars and distances between them are of scale in there if I recall correctly.

   I echo the authors sentiment except for one thing: mobile-native editing experience. This is where Google Keep shines for me personally. I need to also be able to modify my notes immediately and with an intuitive note taking interface.

    On this note, is Ytube also the best transcriber of foreign languages or is there something better?

    Game dev. I like the idea of programming the core loops, but cannot fathom getting into assets and art design as I do not have a single artistic bone in my body

    Vite all the way....until that gets deprecated and forced to move to nextjs

    Ironically, this is EXACTLY what Google Keep (their notes app) is. Just a simple, cloud based sticky notes app that has barenones to no formatting features except for a basic checklist. It's perfect for me and has been that way for at least a decade. Knock on wood tho

    I would say a heavy YouTube presence is almost on par with corporate palatableness with respect to how not counterculture you may think something is. Want something "punk" in say the comedy world? Redbar

    I echo this. Having gone through several phones over the past few years, configuration settings just feel ephemeral, and there are headaches involved in porting them to different systems. And anything that's even remotely important gets backed up on a cloud.

    I have a todo.txt for work, but otherwise, I just Google Keep for everything. Not gonna have my physical notebook everywhere with me as I go, so I need something cloud based. Keep is just simple AF to use. No rich text editing or anything more complIcated than a checklist.

    In the Culture novels, the characters that stand out most to me were his Minds rather than any of the pan-human non-AI. What's most intriguing to me, something I rarely ever see in science fiction is how utterly "human" and warm his AI creations always were. Just read Look to Windward, Masaq Hub in particular, for the ultimate example.

    The same goes for lots of the underground hardcore music. So much of it isn't even on spotify or it is but with the wrong year. Thankfully there are still existing blogspots that still house those rare LP rars

    Title is misleading. They're ending support for the FIRST Chromecast.

    Later on, gpt or other spun off gpts can be trained to write with a specific voice. The future is limitless with this tech, for good or bad

    The hamburger icon is certainly miles better than the harder to see three-dot one Chrome uses. Not sure why they ever decided that this was a better choice.

    This goes back even when I was in high school. I'd install SNES emulators on the windows XP machines to play super Mario world

    Same, and the first song that came up is the quintessential anthem for "the song you play before doing something stupid." (Jackass theme)

    I think it's partly bullshit. I would consider myself a night owl but: On one hand, if i never check myself, I will just stay up to the late hours of the night, which I often feel is attributed to how I grew up, and as such it's psychologically ingrained in me.

    Otoh, I successfully followed an 11p-6a sleep schedule for months, but I'd never noticed any negative differences in my general day to day energy/etc levels compared to when I would go to bed late. (Maybe better mood bc being up before most ppl is a great feeling?) But really, the biggest difficulty I had with this regimen was to just go to bed on time, and I think this is more to do with habits rather than genetics. But only partly.

    It's complete shit. It constantly loses my spot in an episode the next time I open it up, resetting me back to the beginning so I have to find the timestamp again. This is a basic 101 feature and they cannot get that right on Android.

    I wonder if mid life crises possible arise in part due to the lack of a legacy we leave behind, whether it's kids, works for future generations, art, etc, and even acts of altruism. Maybe doing selfless things can be just as strong a cure for the things you always wanted to do for yourself that you feel you haven't lived up to yet?
29. arkaic May 26, 2022 parent

    Sounds like you would love the Dark Souls games. They're Elden Ring without open world, and all legacy dungeons.

    Thanks! I'll try this out
