And here I was thinking it was just a fun username.

You just convinced me to buy a Mac.

It’s literally one of the top 10 most trafficked websites.

White Mexicans are a thing. It’s kinda why they speak Spanish.

Journalists have no clue what AI even is. Nearly every article about AI is written by somebody who couldn’t tell you the difference between an LLM and an AGI, and should be dismissed as spam.

They’re usually put in the game’s credits. The promotional material is part of the game even if it isn’t on the disc, it isn’t some separate project that exists in a vacuum.

The author says “think about it”, but clearly he didn’t.

Now why would an account created 1 hour ago be asking something like this?

I’m a big Phendrana Drifts fan, myself.

Ocarina of Time’s shop theme.

Huh, I know I used to watch Mr Rogers when I was real little, but I have few memories from that far back. But I also, to this day, get uncomfortable putting my fingers or toes near drains.

I need to hear this song. Maybe it’ll trigger some latent memory and unlock some long-forgotten trauma.

Edit: Found it, no memories unlocked. :(

Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

There might be. We don’t know what the patents actually say yet. Without a proper translation of the patents from somebody who understands Japanese legislative texts, all we have to go off of is the machine-translation, which I’m sure is not capturing all the details of the patent.

I wonder if it’s a licensing thing. I know a few of these games had heavy use of licensed music, like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxy. At least, the original versions did, I’m not sure if that’s the case for the Steam ports.

Man, I’m an idiot. I dunno why I forgot for a moment that other drains exist lol. That makes sense, thanks!

Yeah, they only have a finite number of servers that they can run VMs on, and are pretty consistently at max capacity. That said, there’s also limits on individual stream times, so after a certain amount of time you have to reconnect to continue playing (which, if you’re playing in a busy time, means re-queueing). So this at least keeps the line moving, in a way.

I haven’t tried it in a year or so, but when I played it last, I didn’t have very long lines; a minute at most, even at peak hours, on a free (deprioritized) account. Not the end of the world, but definitely an inconvenience.

How are fats, oils, and grease getting into the sewer system, though? Are there enough of those materials left in our poop to conglomerate like that? Or are those from industrial users on the sewer system?

Somebody with better aim. I very much doubt we’ve seen the last attempt on his life. Groups on all sides are inching closer and closer to extremist acts lately, and don’t show any signs of slowing down. We’re in for chaos now.

For generative AI, yes.

Heat, alone, doesn’t dry your clothes. If you’ve ever had a blocked exhaust tube on your dryer, you’ll know that clothes can be hot and wet. You need the airflow to carry the evaporated water away.

I had to get a sleep mask because I can’t put up blackout curtains in my apartment. Works well enough for me. But also, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a mutation on my DEC2 gene, because I only sleep 4-5 hours a night (or day, technically) and feel just fine, so I’m not sure if that helps or hinders my abilities during my waking hours.

That’s not what I asked.
