Yeah that’ll do it

A new meanwell power supply. There’s about a centimeter gap between the upper “grate” and the top of the capacitors.

The old, busted power supply I just took out of a game. The caps have swollen to the point that they brush up against the upper “grate”

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

Every time they say A.E.U.G. in zeta Gundam I just think of

Moonbase Alpha players saying “aeiou” from the classic YouTube video “Moonbase Alpha provides a realistic simulation of life on a natural satellite”

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

Didn’t link or quote it because there’s a really pedantic person that is not the author going around replying to every criticism of it

I think it’s probably worse than the first one as a work of art ultimately, but that Hades II article going around is really fucking stupid

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

In the current climate, if people are smart they’re not posting about the protest they’re at until it’s over anyway. No sense telling the cops where you are

I think this is bang on, and gets at a sense of what I see in play with stuff from Dwarf Fortress and Qud to Rimworld to Crusader Kings and the Sims: a desire to understand the world, whether a familiar or an alien one, through play

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around us—the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our society—I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.
