Mine has died recently.

When I plugged it in to the wall socket, a bit of smoke came out.
|

Once I opened it up I noticed the tops of two capacitors had a convex shape.

On topic, though: yes - I love the current generation.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla had a day 1 patch of roughly 100 GB, IIRC.
|
|
|
|
There are many more games like this, sadly.,@Demolishun I'm definitely planning on getting it fixed.
|
|
|
|
Before I got a chance to unlock my old HDD in preparation for upgrading it, the console developed yet another ailment, though.
|
|
|
|
I may need to find a service that can fix it, but the console is worth it.,@retoor Now that you mention it, quite possibly what happened there.
|
|
|
|
Either way, that timestamp made me laugh.

'Here's a message from the past for you'.,As a general rule, whenever I am interested in something && the other person is much better at it, than I am.
|
|
|
|
One such person is my oldest friend, whom I met at my fist job.
|
|
|
|
We've been friends for roughly 16 years && I've learned a lot from him.,Some people have a problem w/ listening to reason.
|
|
|
|
...also seem to be lacking some common sense.,'General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.',@Demolishun In one of my past projects on Android, when you were in the Main Menu && pressed the Back key, the game would ask whether or not you'd like to close it.
|
|
|
|
Choosing [Yes] would 'close' it...
|
|
|
|
...in reality, the game would simply minimize.
|
|
|
|
A blatant lie, to be sure.
|
|
|
|
IIRC the idea was to have 'quicker' startup of the game.,Cool stats.,Not sure how, because I visit the site very rarely, but somehow I've recently stumbled upon the '@whatever' channel on YouTube.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
They somewhat cover this topic.
|
|
|
|
...mostly dating-related talks, as far as I've seen - yes, but it is related.
|
|
|
|
I am not saying that one necessarily has to date to have children, though.
|
|
|
|
One-night stands can have their consequences.,@retoor You're welcome, have a nice time off away from coding.
|
|
|
|
Also - yes, having a kid from a one-night stand is fucked up.
|
|
|
|
Wouldn't want that, personally, therefore I'm not engaging in those.
|
|
|
|
W/ all the people in the world, however, there are those who are bound to disagree, as is their right.,- 100%'ed Heavy Rain sometime in 2010.

- After spending _a lot_ of time playing the Prince Of Persia Warrior Within, I lost the ability to wake up when I'm about to die in my sleep...
|
|
|
|
...I just rewind the time to moments before my death && continue.,Definitely ! a complete list... would take me too much time to think about it, but:
|
|
|
|
- Be intelligent.
|
|
|
|
- Don't do stupid shit. /* Too often. */
|
|
|
|
- Be self-reliant.
|
|
|
|
- Don't bother me w/ bullshit.
|
|
|
|
- Whether it's good or bad news, just be straight w/ me. Never sugarcoat.
|
|
|
|
- Be truthful.
|
|
|
|
Bonus:
|
|
|
|
- Some overlap in interests. /* The more, the better. */,Just leaving a comment to show my appreciation.

All hail king Lothbrok.,Damn, these look amazing.

Props.,Can't remember exactly, as it's been quite a while ago.

It was either any of these, or some combination of:

0. Was frustrated w/ something tech-related.
|
|
|
|
1. Was looking for new programming-related jokes to fill the void left by devopsreactions.tumblr.com/ , which has been inactive for _some_ time.
|
|
|
|
2. Was looking for a solution for some problem.
|
|
|
|
I had been lurking for a month, maybe two before I decided to create an account, as I felt it would be worth it.
|
|
|
|
Am ! disappointed.,WTF, indeed.,I see something similar in my current company.
|
|
|
|
At least w/ the leadership.
|
|
|
|
Personally I don't get it.
|
|
|
|
If it's needed / beneficial for the job && you don't understand it, don't ask for it to be dumbed down.
|
|
|
|
_Educate_ yourself!,@Lensflare Very true.
|
|
|
|
I see the trend of packing things tightly very often in multi-platform games && even in my own project.
|
|
|
|
'Let's take all of that info && display in on one screen.'
|
|
|
|
...end result is a lot of very small text that is barely legible.,@lorentz Ditto.

I liked my Firefox w/ the sharp, rectangular tabs more, too.,I'm guessing 'grug' is a reference to this one:

Went over my head, but I had no problem looking it up.

|
Sadly, people tent do be too lazy.,@Lensflare Thanks.
|
|
|
|
Saw that one, too...
|
|
|
|
1st fucking result on google...
|
|
|
|
Not sure how I failed to click on it, though.,@Lensflare Depends on the barrel.,Scammer / spammer testing our defenses?,People like mr. smiley make me very nervous.,@Grumm While still probable, less likely.
|
|
|
|
Yes - fuck this.,@thelevenin By itself - no.
|
|
|
|
There are certain indicators that tip the scale in the unfavorable direction, though.,Why crawl out, though, when you can:,Fuck.
|
|
|
|
Definitely !something one wants to hear after such long investment of time.
|
|
|
|
Hopefully the new project will be interesting / challenging, though.,Some time ago, I was up at night && wanted to check the time.
|
|
|
|
Saw this thing pictured below.
|
|
|
|
I found it just as funny as today's date, but that time happens every day, so it's not as grand.,Unfortunately, no.

Back then my PC was pad-less / joystick-less.

Had a C64 && a knockoff Atari 2600 w/ a whopping *1000 games that both had joysticks, though.,\m/,I am reminded of the Internet Of Dongs.

'Get to know something new.',Well...

The current situation reminds me of the 1st time when we had a mobile game w/ Leaderboards.
|
|
|
|
_Of course_ some fucktards decided they need to hack the thing to get the top places.
|
|
|
|
...had to deal w/ that BS...,@retoor Yup.
|
|
|
|
I see this BS unraveling.
|
|
|
|
I've noticed the bots upvoting my comments sometime this morning...
|
|
|
|
which is like two hours ago.,@retoor As well you should be happy, having the wit, skill, && knowledge to deal w/ any bUfFoOn's BS.

Congrats on a job well done.

/jk,@retoor Finally the comment's in there.
|

|
|
Well, it's a new one, though.
|
|
|
|
I previously had a notif of your earlier comment, but then the comment was not displayed.
|
|
|
|
I had been wondering about that.
|
|
|
|
Either way I finally managed to get the thing installed.
|
|
|
|
For some reason the installation would just stall when choosing an encrypted partition.
|
|
|
|
...to be fair, my HW for experimenting w/ OSs is !exactly top-notch.
|
|
|
|
Either way I'm currently setting the thing up.

KDE Plasma is nice, as I'm already familiar w/ it thanks to Manjaro.

Ubuntu's GNOME was off-putting to me.,Happy BD.

The first time I heard it was when playing Rock Band on X360 w/ my friends at my 1st job.
|

|
...Good times.,Indeed.
|
|
|
|
Superstitions are dumb.,Yup.
|
|
|
|
Seeing a similar thing.,@retoor Completely understandable.,@retoor I wouldn't say that karma is a form of superstition.
|
|
|
|
- 'Broken mirror? Oh noes x years of misfortune to me'.
|
|
|
|
- 'Black cat crossed my patch? Better go around / take a different route, else bad luck to me'.

|
|
- 'To go forward I need to go underneath a ladder? Oh hell no!'

*Getting the ladder out of the way before proceeding.*

&& so forth.
|

...Those are superstitions, as far as I'm concerned.,I'd like to think, however, that if I were a dumb fuck craving the pleasure of seeing the world burn,

using UTF chars in hacking wars in an attempt to avoid spam filters to bother good people by sending them bullshit, I would sooner or later get what was coming to me.,@retoor Nice to hear that the spam filters are so efficient.

|
|
- Haven't seen the new army, yet, but taking a look right now.,@retoor whew... finding this one has taken me way longer than I thought it would...
|
|
|
|
anyway, the creative new army reminded me of this bit:
|
|
|
|
https://securityreactions.tumblr.com/...,@retoor Oh yeah.
|
|
|
|
I've seen those, too.

The spam had a far reach.,@retoor I'd love to, but as explained in detail in this terrible wall of text here:

For now, kanji are too advanced for me.
|

I've only managed to learn Hiragana, thus far.
|

Before even attempting to tackle kanji, I should probably learn Katakana first, though.,@CoreFusionX Thanks!

/* I am so glad we have google translate, nowadays. */,@CoreFusionX I take google translations w/ a grain of salt.

I'd never use them in anything official, like translating software into other languages.
