Yeah, people seriously underestimate the costs of elder care.

Gimme those big ol Jitties

Doctor, there’s something off with today’s dose.

Garry nuked the Facepunch forums

How in the FUCK is this the first time I’m hearing about this? It’s been over a decade since I browsed them last, but those were a massively important component of the whole Garry’s Mod community.

I think a big part of the failure, beyond the absolutely massive amount of mismanagement, is that a lot of the stuff that made GM awesome has had it’s “lunch ate” by other development engines and sandbox game systems. Facepunch was never going to be big enough to fully challenge Second Life, or Roblox, or Unity, etc. They had a niche that they should have focused on.

On top of that, there’s a problem that commonly happens with games that have deep modding communities that get “sequels”: All of the awesome stuff that the community spent years building on the last game won’t work with the new one, so there’s not any real reason to switch until the amount of content in the new game (from the devs or the community) passes a critical threshold.

And then changing the underlying creation tools so drastically from the last game by jumping from Lua to C#? Yeah, let’s just throw away most of the skills the community built up!

What a shitshow.

I’ve been an adherent of Notepad++ for ages. What’s the draw of Kate?

There’s a little bit of the “screechy tsundere” voice here and there going on that was pretty common at the time, but a lot less than most shows of the era. Beyond that, the dub is great, imo.

Edit: should have scrolled down, somebody already said ir

Part of it is that there’s aqlways low quality and high quality content being made, but time acts as a filter. The stuff you’ll still be able to find to watch from the past is more likely to be the higher quality things from that previous era.

I personally think there is still a slight difference in quality as well, but it’s easy to forget all the shit TV that doesn’t make it into history books or to any online services.

Honestly looks too low to be a beard. Most beards start closer to the mouth.

Missed shots just add to the mythos of these chucklefucks as some sort of noble martyrs to such a degree that I always have to wonder if these aren’t false flags.

Exactly. I’m not helpdesk anymore, thank god, but my team still has a ton of day to day work that’s tracked in the ticketing system.

Well, for years I’ve been stuck in project hell, doing work that isn’t easily fit into the ticket system. My last review my boss said I had only closed about 1/3 of the tickets of the next lowest person on my team, and that it doesn’t matter except we have a new exec watching that shit, so I have to make it look better.

So the next project I got, I chose to do something manually that I could have automated, that required the help desk to open tickets direct to me about 2-4 times a day whenever someone new needed access to the system I was setting up, until the project was done.

A week in I automated the “manual” task anyway and had a bunch of tickets I could close with a copy-pasted resolution.

I would feel bad, but my co-workers game the metrics even worse than I do.

I think it’s the shooter of Charlie Kirk. But that’s purely based off the mention of Erika Kirk.

Calling any court he’s tried in a purely religiously motivated one is fucking rich though.

As far as I know, he was caught red handed. No room for doubt. The law isn’t void just because he killed someone the world is better without, lol.

At least with Luigi there’s a bunch of extenuating circumstances that create some plausible deniability. This is just “This guy killed someone I think needed to die, so the rule of law shouldn’t apply!”

Descent into

Glad some of them are finally realizing it at least.

Man, every privacy comm on lemmy could use a sticky about this sort of stuff.

What is your actual risk profile? What are your goals and why? Basics of privacy vs security vs anonymity, practicality, trust.

Isn’t there a federated instagram-like?

I’m not a particular fan of npm, but you’ll probably see this kind of thing with any package manager of similar size. More a matter of what’s the most attractive target than the package tech itself.

Is that middle one supposed to be someone who died while kissing a decapitated head they propped up in a urinal? Wow.

In case anyone isn’t aware, there’s a big project to remaster/restore Reboot at the highest quality possible. They have multiple master tape copies for every episode, and for a ton of promo material, ads, etc. Huge, technically deep, and amazing project. The first few episodes are already out on youtube, but they also just released a documentary about the whole process.

This is a severely under-discussed consequence of modern culture distancing family “connections”.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s only about 4 people on my side of the extended family I actually miss, and 3 on my wife’s side. That’s being generous. But not having that reliable help if you don’t have an absolutely amazing social group makes raising a kid through early childhood an absolute slog.

I’d rather have a fiveskin. Imagine how much stuff you could carry at the nudist beach!
