Disappointingly it’s just going to be a good rainstorm when it reaches the upper midwest. A friend of mine, another Florida expat who now lives in Wisconsin, flew to Tallahassee to ride out the storm because of how much he missed it, lol. (His job might be paying for him to be there too, but he definitely volunteered.)

That… actually explains the logic of this lawsuit for me. I still disagree and think they’re overly litigious fucks, but I think I might understand a less malicious argument for it. If someone mods a see 'n say to have a different audio track and slaps some new stickers on it, that’s still a see 'n say, right? The mechanism is fundamental to the product - a see n say is the spinning wheel -> random noise and Pokemon is video game where you throw balls at wild not-animals to catch them and use them to battle people. There’s a difference between a toy that’s heavily inspired by another one and being an edgy five year old with a firearm sticker pack who gives them to the cows and chickens and sheep.

I really have more of a games as art philosophy though, and I’ll just point to the works of Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp to make my argument here, my edible just kicked in.

In this case, Kroger is a grocery store and I’m pretty sure they don’t run a gas station - I’m almost certain the machine in the picture is actually a self checkout.

So many forks, lol.

Winamp go fork yourself!

I love GitHub drama.

Anyone know if the Dolby code leak is going to lead to anything interesting, or had this code been leaked before? And how fucked are the Winamp folks?

It surprises me a bit that PS3 emulation isn’t a thing on some of the newest Android phones (but not actually good yet). I could probably do PS2 fairly well on my current phone, and it’s so old it’s an LG, was the jump from PS2 to PS3 that big of a jump? (Having lived through that era… actually yeah, it kinda was.)

If they do know and this is bigotry, someone should probably tag the blahaj admins.

So they float, of course.

This is an old internet joke.

Still the 18th here. Anyone know where I can buy some inflatable sex dolls and helium at this hour?

Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we’ve got to order testosterone off the internet.

Time magazine work for a source? To be fair, this Colorado district is the only one I’ve heard of that does this, it isn’t currently a widespread practice.

I was in class when the debate happened, and too much Trump is exhausting - I’m watching the Daily Show recap right now. Something I’ve noticed is that somebody actually did Trump’s makeup correctly for the debate, he didn’t look like an Oompa Loompa for once.

If you’re in a bigger city, maybe see if you can get work with IATSE doing stagehand stuff?

Ooh, a choco taco is way better than a sticker!

(Sadly, the Choco Taco was discontinued a couple years ago.)

Abolish the corn welfare system. 95% of corn is not grown for human consumption. Let’s grow more of our own food.

Uh… I am not opposed to this, as a vegetarian, but… uh… the logical conclusion of this policy would be extremely unpopular. The corn that’s not for human consumption is used in industrial and manufactured products (and ethanol, which is something we actually should get rid of, it just doesn’t make sense as a product) and in livestock feed lots. If you stop subsidizing corn, meat gets more expensive.

I’m just glad it’s not Tubgirl.

Based on my experience with a modded 3ds, many people are willing to spend a few extra minutes on transferring data if they can avoid annoyances with juggling physical media. Unless there’s a common USB mod for the C64, propping your phone up to your C64 for a few minutes might have some appeal from a convenience perspective.

I didn’t have a 3ds when it was current because of getting a headache the one time I tried one, but I bought a new 3ds last year and I have no issues with having the 3d on for shorter gaming sessions. The eye tracking seems to be a huge improvement for me.

I’ve played Virtual Boy games on my 3ds and it’s pretty amazing. You’re right that due to the 3d being optional in most games means they couldn’t really use it in gameplay, but with the Virtual Boy games, those were designed for and must be played in 3d. It really made me wonder what could have been for the 3ds if all the things about the hardware that made the 3ds special were used in more creative ways.

That’s neat, someone in my city freezes jeans for a similar effect.

Content Warning: mood killer, anti-LGBTQ violence

So, I’m queer and originally from Orlando, and I used to listen to WJRR, the local rock station, in the I heart Radio app (don’t use it, fuck clear channel). One morning in June 2016, I shuffled outside for my first cigarette and I decided to check my phone. There’s a push notification, from the I heart Radio app, about a mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando. And that’s how I found out that there was a mass shooting at Pulse. That is probably the most jarring and horrifying push notification I’ll ever receive in my life.
