That's a funny contrast since in my younger days white wine was one of my favorites if I wasn't having a spirit, but now it makes me feel old because it's too sweet and gives me a headache 😂

Sometimes I still go for a pinot noir though, swirling it makes me feel like a cartoon villain 👍💀

Drinking more than one glass of wine in your 30s is like "oh right I used to be 20"

The scenario where a mom or grandma came to me to ask, "Where are all the Xbox games for kids?", was so common that I just had boilerplate responses to it.

It always ended up with, "But we already bought him the Xbox"

and then no games would get sold due to the relevant games only being for PS4

So in the end Xbox lost a lot of sales from people that didn't want to choose between what they thought would be either weaker (S) or stronger (X) than the base model.

I also never see people talk about how One S/X vs PS4 really hurt game sales across the board those years-

Dunno yet if it's worth replacing the GPU and having a spare PC or if it's just a parts bucket now. Maybe it's my new dedicated server if I ever need one.

The bad news is that it "totally died" because something had clearly been spilled down the top vent and rusted out the GPU 🤬

Pulled it out and now that it defaults to onboard graphics nothing else seems to be amiss

But hey, that's an Intel i5, a 1TB HDD, and 16gb of ram back if nothing else.

I stumbled on Sandy's YouTube channel a couple years ago when I was on an id software kick watching a lot of interviews, GDC talks etc. and just remember thinking "THIS is Sandy Petersen? Someone needs to get him a new rocker because he clearly fell off his last one."

But mostly I enjoy that it does exactly what I need it to do and not one thing more, which is something I can say for very few programs these days.

Getting pretty fed up with things that try to do all the things even when I ask them not to.

How I feel about my relationship with GIMP is stuck somewhere between "Stubbornly using it for years gave me Stockholm syndrome" and "Haha, while everyone suffers Photoshop withdrawals my piece of shit software will never leave me"

Peaked on PS1 tbh and then they brought Druckmann in for Jak 3 and it's been downhill ever since.

I'll die on the hill that Uncharted was never good. One of the first times growing up that I realized dev studio I like =/= devs who made the games I liked

Remembering that time Daniel Craig and Marc Forster thought they (lead actor + director) could write an entire bond film by themselves during a writer's strike and then hated their own movie

But in the past several months, payment processors and digital store platforms have started severely restricting the kinds of sexual and adult/18+ content allowed in their terms of service. And of course all LQBTQ+ content is at risk of getting swept up in these bans.

How can you argue federal AV laws are good when at the state level we're seeing real pushback and even seeing AV legislation repealed/blocked?

They want you to think its a consensus, its inevitable.

Its not. Fight like its not!
