If your name was your mother’s maiden name followed by your bank password, what would your new name be?

Hopefully Tubular updates soon too

One of the countless reasons we need to repeal the DMCA and change copyright expiration to set in after 25 years

I want you to remember this diatribe the next time you claim autism isn’t real

That only happens with distilled water, which you shouldn’t drink.

West Taiwan isn’t going to love you, give it up

This has been my weekly reminder that there are people who use Bing. Harrowing.

Isn’t it easier to just jump the turnstiles?

This was the entire point. If you loan out money that immediately gets paid to construction firms you own, you’re effectively just charging people (with interest) to be neocolonialized.

Thanks for correcting that, my browser rejects most redirects so I didn’t know there was an issue.

Röyksopp has been one of my standbys since the original Ghostly Swim introduced me, and they’ve just gotten better.

The best part is, they already made a game with a gigantic world full of procedurally-generated content: Daggerfall, which is remembered fondly for a reason.

“Decay”

What’s left to decay? It’s dust now. Remember when Eidos used a PR firm to strongarm websites into not publishing reviews of Tomb Raider: Underworld if they were less than an 8/10 till after launch?

“That’s right. We’re trying to manage the review scores at the request of Eidos.” When asked why, the spokesperson said: “Just that we’re trying to get the Metacritic rating to be high, and the brand manager in the US that’s handling all of Tomb Raider has asked that we just manage the scores before the game is out, really, just to ensure that we don’t put people off buying the game, basically.”

That was 15 years ago, and despite the fact that Barrington Harvey went on to lie and pretend they never said that, everybody knew that kind of thing was old hat back then too. Mainstream gaming journalism is a captured industry.

I’m not a console owner, are PlayStation owners really giving Sony $60 a year to play online multiplayer? It shouldn’t cost anything in the first place. If Valve or GoG or anyone else started trying to tell me I had to pay them extra to send certain packets through my router, I’d have a good laugh.

TempleOS’s implementation is cooler though

During these formative years of the Web, web pages could only be static, lacking the capability for dynamic behavior after the page was loaded in the browser.

And it was better. Frankly, http was a mistake, humanity would be healthier and happier if we stopped at gopher.

Crypto will never be a thing. We’ll be in a Star Trek style post-economy future where the concept of money is worthless before crypto will ever be a viable alternative to fiat currency, at least for anything aside from buying drugs online from dudes with roman statue avatars who talk like anime villains.
