  • Scale goes without saying; but now I’m trying to imagine what it’d actually be like. I’d guess the tac would take out most medium-sized towns. The heads of them could quickly fill a California-sized area.

    Then you connect them with string and it’s just huge mass of fibre across the sky, 50km wide.

    Uh… Take away the ironic “men’s rights” part and you are your dad. Unless you’re actively ensuring your feeds are not algorithm content and the parts of the internet you’re hanging out in aren’t socially reinforcing…

    Otherwise, we call these “echo chambers”. And funny enough is that those in them create the most “me vs them” content, all the while constantly reassuring “the audienice” that they’re not in one.

    But, yeah. I’m sure I’m wrong and helping your dad to navigate through the ongoing onslaught of media is something you’ve tried.

    Edit: GOD DAMN I’m so self- righteous and sassy tonight. Ignore the sass. Get the vibe. A apologise for the sass, but I won’t delete because the vibe.

    Point is, you and your dad have two opposing feeds. Recognise that they are feeds and move on from that.

    Sometimes I still start typing, but just to realise a few words in that it’s entirely pointless. But usually I don’t bother blocking.

    My block list isn’t very big (14 if you exclude NSFW accounts), so if you’re on it, you’re something of a special level of toxic.


  • Let’s say that you’ve just significantly upgraded your GPU. If you were getting the most out of your CPU with your previous GPU, there’s a good chance that your new GPU will be held back by that older component. So now, you need a new CPU or some percentage of your new GPU’s performance is wasted. Except, getting a new CPU that’s worth the upgrade usually means getting a new motherboard, which might also require new RAM, and so on.

    This guy’s friends should keep him away from computers and just give him an iPad to play with.

    I envy people that can sleep like that. According to my watch, I managed just shy of a combined 90mins of sleep on a 16h flight and I was trying to sleep for most of it. This after I knew I’d struggle so sleep starved myself to four hours of sleep the night before 🫤

    Meanwhile my friend successfully opted to nap in the car while I did a quick grocery shop…

    If I’m not lateral, it ain’t happening. I’m open to any tips, but I’ve probably tried them all besides dosing.

    I am starting to see individuals as how dependent they are on society.

    The good news is that I don’t think we need to worry about a “,World War”. The bad news is that when WW3 inevitably happens, it’ll be the worst waste of lives yet.

    I don’t know where I was going with that, but that’s where we’re going.






  • The main quest was terrible. Should never center the plot on the player when there’s custom creation and open world. It’s forcing a backstory or behaviour onto the player even if they don’t want it.

    I played a big Michael Clarke Duncan brute rolling melee as Idiot Savant. The intro and main quest was entirely incompatible with character, full of things they wouldn’t have done, would do, or should do.
