The word ‘unprecedented’ will be part of daily vernacular until…

I don’t. The idea of doing this in perpetuity is painful. I would like to earn my rest.

If there’s any upside to the entire situation, it’s that perhaps, maybe, developers will again start paying more attention to optimization instead of just throwing more powerful hardware at it.

Some of the greatest games ever developed for consoles were great because the developers had to get extremely creative with the limited resources at their disposal. This led to some incredibly optimized games that could do a whole lot with those very limited resources.

True. There’s just a couple of subjects that don’t interest me at all, like sports or fashion. Apart from that I’m honestly interested in pretty much everything, I’m very curious by nature.

I think there should be more distinction. One hyperfixation isn’t exactly like all the others. I’ve picked up one or two that have stuck with me throughout the years.

Apart from that it’s usually a period of focus on a certain medium/series/… which can get pretty intense but not exactly the same level as the “true” hyperfixations.

Brownshirts don’t need to be intelligent, only compliant.

Read that as “she’s ten”. Did a double take.

Not anymore. There’s only so many times people are willing to look past your… quirks. I don’t blame them though.

So far, AI has cost me a few hobbies (as in, made them a lot less enjoyable) and one job.

If there’s an uprising against clankers, you’ll find me at the front lines.

Exceptions for billionaires and industry titans, but none for you.

“Shut up and pass the butter”.

What if we first throw it at a cop and then use it to build community?

“No future”.

They weren’t punkers, they were prophets.

He’s goddamn right.

My favorite ones from childhood were the ones on crystals and money. I managed to find them in a yard sale a few years ago.

I lowkey expect every modern device to be compromised (unless you’re running custom roms). Whether it’s Pegasus or something else. Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether.

Fairly sure the pardons are already filled out and signed preemptively.

I was always partial to the saying “va suçer un ours dans la forêt”

I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.
