I also saw $150 million, which is more than he deserves but it’s mostly because of ownership. Wealth snowballs so even if you make terrible life decisions after the initial investments, you usually come out with even more money.

Mewgenics releases: a new rogue like best seller!

Slay the Spire 2 goes Early Access: hold my beer cards.

:o

Time to do another run later tonight, too, I suppose… lol. Thanks!

It’s quite simple; we’re trying to find our lost comrades. I had a magical moment when not one, but two people who joined my group on an MMO were using CachyOS. It’s like meeting your triplets separated at birth.

You only find out if you bring it up, lol.

I oddly haven’t tuned in yet, but I remember when they started the podcast since Marshall is a regular on atheist podcasts I regularly listen to, like God Awful Movies.

He’s always subjected himself to bullshit though; after all, his other work has him interviewing batshit crazy conspiracy folks and scammy snake oil woo folk.

Most recently, Slay the Princess. It’s a VN, and I typically do not play VNs, but wow. It’s actually quite amazing and I can’t actually tell you why because it’d spoil it.

I get pleasantly surprised all the time though, since I like to use a randomizer to choose my next game sometimes. I think one of the other experiences was the Rusty Lake games. I got them in a bundle and since it was a puzzler, I had my friend join me in comms and it was… very strange. But we will use references from those games as insider nods to one another.

Yes, but when I had a 7 recently it was hard to aim. The whole shower looked like a Jackson Pollock.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Does make you wonder where the corporate interests lie in the age verification case, but it’s probably the usual suspects in tech and surveillance.

At least it’s not requiring ID, and it’s kind of easy to circumvent, but it’s a slippery slope. Also it’s definitely just virtue signalling to the dumbest among us, which is generally a bad thing.

California does this sometimes. One of our more notoriously stupid laws put up cancer warnings on virtually everything with a certain unnamed substance, making it almost impossible to identify things that might be seriously unhealthy. Like you enter a Starbucks and it says something in the Starbucks causes cancer. Like, gee, thanks.

Overprotective, not well thought out, bullshit laws.

Given that I will sometimes reflect for a whole day on just a comment getting a couple down votes, I can’t imagine how someone who actually posts stuff feels.

But hey, it’s the world wide web, you’re bound to get a few people like that just like driving on a freeway, there’s always a possibility of someone brake checking you because they disliked your coexist bumper sticker or something.

Interestingly your link doesn’t mention use of color or lack there of. It does say elsewhere that you shouldn’t do it for decoration, though.

That said, things like this are more dictated by the journal you publish to and a thesis has to imitate that. Solution? Graduate and start a journal that requires beautiful color tables, lol

I teach, so trying to adjust old ppts for lecture got a little weird because it turned the bulletpoints into mailboxes, and equation formulas are done completely differently so libre just makes them uneditable (a picture?).

When things got wonky in lecture though I managed just fine. My students are much worse, they open shit in non-MS apps all the time (.notes for takehome exams, or like, keynote, whatever) and fuck up formatting all the time, often without even realizing it. (I do provide PDF alternatives at least). Explaining I use libre really easy in that case, lol.

Ironically, Huffman doesn’t seem to be in the Epstein files. This isn’t because he isn’t a pedophile-- he very likely is-- but he simply wasn’t important enough of a person for them to invite him or even talk about him.

It uh… It actually gets considerably worse? But sure, faster, around halfway.

8 chapters of open world, remaining is more like FFXIII linear gameplay with a story that obviously was written by someone else. The pacing changes dramatically, too. You’ll know the halfway mark because you will be warned you can’t go back to the open world.

The DLC has it’s moments, I guess. You kind of need it to fully get the story.

For what it’s worth you can also use a magnifying glass to create designs in wood; it doesn’t have to be for ant murder.

My add to this is a graphing calculator because you can put games on it and parents simply didn’t (and probably still don’t) know. You thought I was doing calculus? Ha level 19 in Tetris.

Oh I love those themes, I also sometimes use the 98 one on Plasma and it makes people do a double take.

Meanwhile a surprising number of outlets are advertising %100, including corporate ghouls like iHeartRadio. Hopefully that trend continues as people get sick of slop pushed in marketing.

Interestingly, many skip that first step. Iirc, it’s about 30% who don’t get more awake but rather start to relax under caffeine. About the same % who also need to poop right after, but not the same people. Lol

Significantly better, actually, but it helps that I didn’t spend my teens and 20s doing hard drugs. Uhh… in the US.
