Yep. Early game, you accidentally time travel to the past. You fix what got broken by the time travel incident, get back, and go through a kangaroo court. You escape from that, find another portal, and after fighting your way through some futuristic ruins, you find out this mountain-sized porcupine-looking thing with a graboid head erupted out of the ground shooting lasers everywhere, and the rest of the game revolves around preventing that.

Seems like a skill issue to me.

Ubuntu is a bit of a shit distro, but I still have a soft spot for it because it was my first Linux experience.

Listen to the rivers and the lakes that you used to.

Mid-tier is generous. The guy’s voice is annoying AF.

The King is dead. Long live the King. The people going after these sites are just playing a game of whack-a-mole. New sites will always sprout up to fill in the gap.

That wasn’t even the first time Trek did the “catching up to a sleeper ship” plot. TOS did it earlier, and then they made a movie out of that episode.

This is hilarious.

In my family it was variations of “Hello, Joe’s whatever. Insert rhyme here.”

One of my favorites was “Joe’s mortuary, you stab 'em we slab 'em.”

True, and this time “The House” wasn’t the casino.

Or use ancient scripts like Phoenician or Glagolitic.

There are still 20 more letters that can be used as stand-ins. Things will get interesting if you try to go past Base 36, though.

Base 16 is typically represented with letters being used as the extra numerals, so it would end up being F+1. Problem solved.

Last year I bought a packet of sugar pumpkin seeds just because I thought the flowers looked nice the previous time I’d tried (and failed) to grow pumpkins. Got plenty of pumpkins out of it, saved some of the seeds, and started buying butternut squash when the pumpkins ran out. Saved the seeds from those, too, and now I’ve got seedlings of both popping up. I’m gonna have so much pie!

I second the idea that audio is a nightmare in Android. I have the AYN Odin, and I’m always muting it by accident because the lowest volume setting is still a bit louder than I want. 0-15 is nowhere near enough granularity, but the Android devs can’t seem to comprehend the idea.

some of them are devilishly hard to master.

The Magmoor Bomb Jump energy tank in the original version of Metroid Prime wants to say hello.

I always wondered why a subreddit like that was allowed to exist in the first place. I guess I have my answer now.

What flavor is that boot you’re licking? Must be pretty tasty.

Accidental DisplayPort guy checking in. I didn’t even know it was a thing until I bought my graphics card. It seems like I dummied my way into some good tech.
