(she/they)

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.

I am a certified lurker.

SimplyTadpole,

That’s what I’ve been thinking, too. As a zoomer/zillennial who doesn’t follow it, from what I’ve gathered Skibidi Toilet seems to be just Gen Alpha’s equivalent of YouTube Poops that Milllennials loved and GMod animation shitposts Zoomers enjoyed.

Considering I loved both of these while growing up, and still like rewatching them from time to time for nostalgia’s sake, it’d be hypocritical of me to hate skibidi toilet 😅

SimplyTadpole,

I use CoreCtrl to fix my GPU’s atrocious fan curve, which is a necessity since normally it overheats to high hell. With CoreCtrl, I have a nice fan curve that makes my GPU rarely, if ever, run hotter than 70°C.

SimplyTadpole,

Yeah, I get you :c

SimplyTadpole,

And this will be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives. 😓

SimplyTadpole,

I used to play Need for Speed: World back in the day, and it had a daily of its own where you’d get to collect some treasures scattered around a random district in the city; doing so would give you a random reward, and the longer you kept up a streak, the better said rewards would get.

I was a broke teenager at the time, and it was the only way I could get remotely good drops at the time, but it was really annoying to do so every day and eventually it made me feel like a slave to the game. I actually kinda felt liberated when the game shut down since it meant no longer having that responsibility, and I don’t think I ever want to get into dailies again.

SimplyTadpole,

I love it :3

SimplyTadpole,

Look how they massacred my boy…

SimplyTadpole,

It’s the Paper Daisy HD mod!

I also made a text mod of my own for it that covers some stuff that was overlooked as well as make it compatible with the TTYD+ mod, which I really like.

SimplyTadpole,

So far I haven’t ran into any, but I haven’t had the time to fully re-play the game yet. Any issues that may occur would be either some dialogue that hasn’t been properly replaced, or a crash when you enter specific locations.

I’ve done my best to find all the wrongly-formatted text files that were causing crashes earlier, but it’s possible I might’ve overlooked some since, frankly, TTYD has a LOT of dialogue to sift through. Just be sure to save regularly in case there is a crash.

SimplyTadpole,

Basically my mindset, we should normalize being kind to each other

SimplyTadpole,

I’m getting back into Cassette Beasts and still am playing my comfort game, NFS Hot Pursuit 2

SimplyTadpole,

Honestly I’m very much a hermit plus I play the game very heavily modded, so I’m indifferent about the update if not worried it might break my mods lol

I think it’s absolutely amazing and I don’t regret spending money on it at all! Maybe it might be worth seeing if it’ll go on sale when the update releases just in case, but if not then I think it’s worth a full-price buy imo.

SimplyTadpole,

I remember reading about Rosemary before, it’s really messed-up what happened to her

SimplyTadpole,

I can try to help. Are you using Linux or Windows? (I admittedly don’t have much experience using git on Windows)

Assuming you use Linux: usually, what I do is create a folder in my Documents directory specifically for handling Git projects (mostly because I like being organized), then open a terminal window there (right-click and press “Open Terminal Here”) or CD to its directory (for example, if it’s in home/<your username>/Documents/Git, run cd ~/Documents/Git).

Then, go to the github page, click the green Code button, and copy the URL there, which you will use to pull its git repository. Normally, you would then do git clone <git URL>, but the instructions say this uses submodules, so you should instead use git clone --recursive-submodules https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp.git. Don’t bother making a specific folder for this project because git automatically does that.

Then, go inside the folder containing the cloned git repository, make a folder inside it for containing the compiled build of the project (name it, say, “build”), move inside said folder, and then run cmake … (you may have to install this package first depending on if your distribution includes it or not) and then cmake --build. I think it then should be done.

My /var/tmp folder is endlessly stacking up on "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx" folders? (slrpnk.net)

The issue at hand: My /var/tmp folder is stacking up on literary hundreds of folders called “container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx”, where the x’s present a random number. Each folder contains the following files called 1, 2 and 3 as seen in thumbnail. Each folder seems to increase in size too, as the lowest I can see is the...

SimplyTadpole,

Does all this also apply to distrobox? I don’t use podman, but I do use distrobox, which I think is a front-end for it, but I don’t know if the commands listed here would be the same.

SimplyTadpole,

You joke, but a particular fetish I’m into’s community has a really bad fascist/nazism problem, and I noticed that a lot of said fascists/nazis are, surprisingly enough, the bottoms/submissives in it. .-.

SimplyTadpole,

Nope, vore

SimplyTadpole,

I played with my PS2 quite a lot when I was young, particularly because it had a much better version of a game I grew up with (NFS Hot Pursuit 2); it then introduced me to other games I quite liked, such as Test Drive Unlimited.

It sadly broke sometime around early 2018 because I didn’t take good care of it. Now I emulate it but still wish my console worked.

SimplyTadpole,

How does Bazzite differ from Kinoite? I use the latter but have been hearing about the former for a while now, and was curious what exactly sets it apart from what I use and what benefits I’d have switching to it.

SimplyTadpole,

Cops are gutless cowards who can only punch down on people who can’t fight back; as soon as they meet someone who poses even a slight threat they cower away.

SimplyTadpole,

ehhh, unfortunately I’ve met more than my fair share of people who unironically like Stalin.

Lots of actually good communist figures out there and they go out of their way to choose the homophobic drunk domestic abuser who kept a literal child rapist as his right-hand man.

SimplyTadpole,

I agree, I never really liked Metro and the minimalism of Material design doesn’t vibe with me either. It’s mostly a personal taste thing though, I know several others who do like minimalism.

About it being weird to be nostalgic for Windows 7, it’s not to me, but I think it has to do with how it was the last OS I used that didn’t involve either several awful bugs to the point of unusability (Windows 10) or requiring extensive knowledge of how the system works (Linux) to daily-drive it; so I guess I look at it fondly as the last time I was “computer-innocent”, so to say.
