Meep :3
They/Them, also “It” when a critter I like is being cute ior affectionate about it :3
Very cute, but also weird and sometimes kinda sharp
Hates this world, hates being stuck in it. Needs rescuing, needs understanding. Not happening. Only misery and extension of said misery happening.

Changed it 🤷 I’ve no idea why I decided to abbreviate there at all.
If corporations are to be considered people they should have to have shins or something to kick them in!
Am tired of hearing about Nintendo attacking everyone who even thinks about fun outside of their discrete products.
I’m taking this as an opportunity to illuminate issues with particular games, since… well, play on easy if you wanna, naturally. So, for my recommendation: If you don’t use the mod that makes all weapons very dangerous, Mass Effect Andromeda. Without a mod to speed it up a lot, every fight becomes ages of tedium. There’s one weapon that can be made any good and even that doesn’t make fights bearable. You’re basically sitting for like ten minutes at a time hosing down foes with off-brand Super Soakers until they get frustrated and leave. It’s quite bad. Just play it on easy. Not just easy, the easiest easy. Whatever the lowest difficulty is, pick that one. There’s just no point in anything higher unless you’ve got infinite patience. And ammo. Bleeegh.
So, generally I play things on easier difficulties when I feel like anything higher will get tedious rather than interesting. The Mass Effect trilogy, I play on the maximum difficulty because that adds a bunch of mechanics that give me more to work around. Fighting armoured enemies should be done differently from fights against shielded enemies, that sort of thing. Enemies become more dangerous when they’re not shut down so there’s that encouragement to get them figured out before they bring out the scary attacks. Some games just increase health amounts, which… okay, just shoot them more? 😴 Boring.
tl;dr: Games like Mass Effect Andromeda where difficulty settings only increase tedium. Am never gonna want to crank up the tedium setting.
not many people in the world who understand this code.
Kinda sounds like maybe he writes some freaky garbo C that nobody can figure out 😅
There’s so much in place to keep people from getting help but paying people to shoot us and not even bother to make up their own lies about it, no problem!
What the fuck.
Woo, maybe Shrine Wars will be coming out soonish!
… Har har! 'Used to love that game 😅
Sounds super cool :o … Am still kinda salty about M$ blocking my account and holding my copy of Minecraft (that I paid Mojang for, well before it was Microsoft’s!) hostage because they want my phone number, though. 😠
… Also I kinda wanna know if it’s got the moddage I love about Minecraft, but am afraid to ask because I’m stuck on a laptop that can’t really run much without getting all melty 😅
Woah, I remember that thing :o Didn’t think anyone else would.
… Oh shit, that’s still a thing :O Whew.
And then the ads!
Apparently we pay to see ads anyway these days. :|
I think licensing may have something to do with it. A proprietary licence will typically prohibit decompilation so if you do it, you’re in violation of the licence. Whether that’s enforceable… Idunno. Often just writing a rule down will make people averse to testing it. Software under a non-proprietary licence probably comes with the source code to begin with, so there’s no need. This leaves a relatively small useful area for this technique, where people either don’t mind being in potential legal trouble (or just losing their licence to use a particular piece of software) or are interested in a specific few pieces of software that don’t offer source but allow sortof digging it out of the binary directly.
having the time and inclination to install Arch correlates with being in a bad place in your life right now.
True for me. I’m using Arch because I don’t have a system that can run Gentoo ;P
Actually I’ve oscillated between the two for many years. Every few years I switch to the other one and enjoy it for a few. … Only, now I’m stuck on a laptop that would melt if I tried to put Gentoo on it v.v I hope some day I will have a real computer again v.v Among other things 😅 😞
[Joke] See, Reddit’s doing a nice thing here! They’re making sure nobody ends up toxifying their own dataset by using Reddit’s garbage heap of bot posts!
So… is a coffee stain a copyright infringement? Kinda seems like it would be, by this logic. Hell, if they keep at it for long enough we’ll see them going after somebody over a bookmark or a cracked screen. Just more asinine “IP” bullshit.
Oh no, they’ll lose sales! … Unless nobody wants a CPU that’s gonna blow up hahahahahahah!
Thankies :3 It’s definitely cute ;P
I mostly subscribe to less fun-hating sorts of places so I didn’t think anything of cuting a lil tiny bit 🤷 I guess we’ve gotta all be sooooper cereal around here or people get upset for reasons 😅 🥣 I’ll just assume it’s because all of those people are techbros who’ve been bitten by mice and can’t even bring themselves to talk about it.
Off-topic: SQUEEKboard?!?? I need an excuse to use this 🙀
(Lil bit of backstory: I squeek sometimes. It’s a mouse thing 🐭 ^.^ )
Forced reading used to be a thing when I was in school 🤔 I assume now it’s just movies all day with the occasional book burning as a treat. Maybe throw some Kindles full of leaded solder or something onto the fire, get some nice toxins in the air for the kids to breathe. Great, now I’m grumpy and depressed. 😞
Never gonna accept that I2P and Freenet and Tor-as-darknet (and whatever else) get so little attention. We managed to get Lemmy to be a thing but most of us just kinda hope clearnet sites on corporate systems and networks stay up instead of going for alternative networks that may be harder to control? Bleh.
“Disobeying a ZeniMax employee” being apparently some kind of crime gives me a sudden, near-desperate urge to disobey a ZeniMax employee.
