Okay so I stopped reading at “unmanned ground vehicles” because I’m an RC nerd and wanted to see the cool robot.

Took me a second to realize those aren’t normal wheels.

My mother always said RC cars can be dangerous…

I will happily shake hands with a pineapple-on-pizza-er, if it means we can make sure this evil never hurts anyone ever again.

I’ll wash my hands afterward, but it’s the gesture that counts, right?

(pls wash your hands anyway, sanitation rulez)

Smort.

I would absolutely be consulting a lawyer before actually putting that out, just to, at the very least, have someone who’s a little familiar with the situation beforehand. That way if I DO get arrested, I already know a lawyer who’s looked into this and already had some things ready to go.

Oh man…

1: RIP to Trevor.

B, I remember every time this would make the rounds, so many people would get super pissed about it and go on huge multi-paragraph rants about how unfunny it was and that it should be deleted before the FBI arrests everyone who shares it.

The jokes write themselves.

That would be great, but unfortunately for me I have too many programs that depend on windows, don’t have Linux options, and if I’m being honest with myself I really just don’t want to learn an entirely new ecosystem. I will if forced, but the moment this laptop shits itself or they discontinue support for the OS, I’m getting a crash course.

I’d love to turn an old tablet or somethinf into a Linux device in the meantime so I can at least start something. Too bad my parent’s old kindles won’t work, there’s enough of them laying around their house…

Oh fuck yeah gimme that customization and personalization options

I used to use a program on one of my computers called rainmeter I think, and it allowed me to customize my desktop to look like the Animus menus from Assassin’s creed 2. Then decided to go with hexagons everywhere, with the replacement start menu dead center screen and other buttons areayed out from there.

Haven’t used it in many years, but I’d love that level of customization* on a pc nowadays. It seems like no matter where I go, every UI looks the same. Good for familiarity, not so much for “oh this is neat, they made it their own” factor.

*without learning entire programming languages, I hyperfixate on things but programming has never been something I’ve been able to get into

I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I’d love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10.

I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn’t ask for this. And I have to say… I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations…

My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it’s Microsoft’s own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS…

Projection and insecurity often make people lash out.

Depends on what I’m playing.

I can comfortably play some games down to 12fps ±3ish, if it isn’t something that’s fast paced.

I have yet to play anything where I’m skilled enough for higher than 30fps to matter response-wise, and while I can notice the difference between 60fps and 240fps on my monitor, I gotta say it doesn’t do much for me.

Maybe I just don’t know what to look for, what I’m missing, or how to set up my laptop right, but who knows. My eyes could be stuck on 720p for all I know.

The problem is not the price.

The problem is Ai “art” is inherently stealing the work of other people, and not in a way that a painter can say they were influenced by some other painter.

I support this wholeheartedly.

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with “You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games.”

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

If every soldier turned toward Moscow right now, they’d have the higher ups scrambling to throw each other out windows, starting at the top, before they get to the city limits.

You heard it here folks, you shouldn’t question something unless you are directly affected by it.

But the business analysts are the most profitable group, anywhere! If you don’t believe me just hire a business analyst to analyze things and they’ll prove it to you!

I haven’t logged into Facebook in over a decade, can’t even remember the login email. Can’t be arsed to jump through hoops to ask for it to be deleted.

Can’t imagine why anyone would willingly make a fb page today.

"They came first for the distros. But I didn’t speak up, because it was only Facebook and only Linux. "

I have noticed that I get less motion sick in some games on my new 240hz screen, but unfortunately I still get it.

That said, I’m unsure what my actual fps is in Doom/E but I’d wager somewhere around 100.

Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.
