Big news: Kitsune Tail's Steam Next Fest demo is live now! Go get it at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1325260 and experience the first part of this queer furry love triangle wrapped in an SMB3 jacket
You should definitely check the options. There's a CRT shader in Kitsune Tails made by @JoshJers which isn't on by default (because people get upset by that kinda thing) but playing with it on is totally the recommended experience
And for those of you who have Steam Decks, we've verified it works on that, too! And there's a new reveal trailer, showing off some of the bosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRBcm5fagUU
@arstechnica if he's just taking the hardware and moving it to other companies, add it to the pile of reasons the board should fire Musk alongside everything else he's done.
Selling the GPUs to his other ventures though would probably be OK. It might even give a nice tax benefit by letting the company write down depreciation "losses" on otherwise perfectly good graphics cards. I somehow doubt he's being all that clever in his self-dealing though.
you ever think about how the standard cartoon bomb (a large blue or black sphere with a big fuse coming out the top) is essentially the "save icon" of destruction, because 1) it's symbolic meaning is widely understood, and 2) it's an anachronism that is widely recognized only for its symbolic meaning as its real life counterpart is long obsolete?
The earliest models of explosive shells are what cartoon bombs come from. They're hollow iron balls meant to explode roughly when they land on/penetrate a target.
What is the point of making most or every achievement in a game a secret one? Does that actually encourage people? Like, I just can't be bothered. If it isn't an unmissable quirky of funny thing that pops up and adds to the experience, I just don't care to even try to find them. Making 100%ing a game a miserable experience just to claim bigger playtime hours is just kinda odd. Maybe I'm alone in this borderline hatred. #gamedev#games
Microsoft: takes screenshots of the screen, OCRs them and places the data in an unprotected sqlite file for later recall.
Apple: creates new NPU architecture designed to save PDFs of the screen and OCR them, storing the data in CoreData for later recall by authenticated users.
Ubuntu: every time the computer sleeps, it wakes up slightly slower than the last time, until you reboot it.
#TIL Heavy water absorbs infrared instead of red light, so if you spend billions of dollars to fill a swimming pool with heavy water, it would look transparent and no longer be blue.
@niconiconi I wonder what the color of extra heavy water would be. I also wonder what its actual name is. Assuming you can even get water made with tritium.
Last boost: good reason to never do business with Snowflake
Siccing lawyers on folks reporting significant security lapses and breaches means the company considers PR more important than maintaining a secure and functional service.
Alternatively, their service is so insecure that the report does substantively make attacking it easier and addressing the problem can't be done easily. That's worse.
JRPG encounters IRL. You may think this is a photo of one dog.
No. It's a photo of twelve dogs.
My big lug is with the breeder right now and has given birth to 11 cute little puppies. She's retiring after this litter and will be our dog for good. Looking forward to seeing her and her babies soon 🐶
@SirTapTap I can't help but think of all the "atomic" snake oil of the 50s where random products would have small amounts of radioactive crap added to them for vague benefits
Also mundane uses like hand warmers (alpha decay) glowing stuff etc
It would take folks a while to figure out "hey, these weird warm glowing rocks/metals will fucking kill you" if they're not sufficiently "hot" radiologically. Cancer is a sneaky bastid
Was randomly reading the wiki for Son of Sam and found this quote from the police (assuming the killer had help)
"Why are there three [suspect] cars, five different [suspect] descriptions, different heights, different shapes, different sizes of the perpetrator? Somebody else was there."
My take. Eyewitnesses suck at accuracy. There was only one killer and his method (shooting from a distance at night) made him hard to identify.
Other possibility, disguises. Pillow in clothes, a wig, etc
There's something I find especially infuriating about folks who seem to deliberately miss the point so they can be smug about how oh-so-clever they are while nitpicking some useless bit of pedantry.

If you don't have anything relevant to add to a discussion. Just shut up. And, for the record, quibbling about someone conflating overlapping fields of engineering IS irrelevant.
