When Brandon Sanderson has talked about possible screen adaptations of his books, he’s started to hear people talking about an Arcane-style animated adaptation as an option they’d like. He’s mentioned that the unfortunate reality of it is that Arcane’s budget ($10 million an episode) does not match its audience - the large majority of Arcane viewers are existing League fans, and it doesn’t get the new/outside-viewer audience that a lot of producers would want to see.
Because Jennifer Hale delivered a better performance than Mark Meer as Commander Shepard
I played so much Wesnoth when I was young and broke
it doesn’t work on Android Auto
This may be dependent on your car/Android version? I’ve started using OsmAnd with Android Auto on my 2019 Subaru Outback and it works quite well.
My Prusa i3 Mk3 treated me quite well - it wasn’t “out of the box” printing (even accounting for the fact that I got a kit version), but once I got it dialed in, I could just keep printing without having to fix things and retune.
Most definitely not “out of the box” is a Voron 2.4, which is my current printer. It was, however, so much fun to build and get running.
Unfortunately, racism.
It’s a term from the car-modding scene. “Rice burner” was a pejorative term for badly-customized imported Japanese cars with more flashy looks than performance upgrades. It then came to just mean “heavily visually modified”, and installing such mods was called “ricing”
Satisfactory hits my perfect balance of planning/optimization and 3D building and aesthetics. And it’s still getting better!
If you play The Witness, this will permanently happen to your brain - you’ll start seeing
environmental puzzles
everywhere
The thing is - how will your blockchain-based mortgage be enforced? What happens if I start squatting on your blockchain-property? At the end of the day, the answer is “people with guns” - we agree that contracts have legal weight, and there are legal structures (and ultimately law enforcement and their threat of force) that keep you on your land and me out of it. And if we already have to involve all that, what good is blockchain doing that “a database” can’t do?
Yeah it’s definitely an HN clone, and that’s much-needed because the orange site is a hellhole. I like their invite-tree system, and need to finish tracking down an invite.
I’ll give a mention to FUEL, an open-world offroad racing game with a map that was over 5,000 square miles. The racing itself was fairly medium, but the absolutely massive open-world is something that I can see in Forza Horizon and some others
Software side projects, including a serious crack at a game I’ve been noodling with in my head
Hardware side projects, starting with smart home stuff
The physical house-construction part of smart home stuff, and some other diy projects too
Mini painting and board gaming, especially trying to pull together some overlapping friend groups
And yeah, some time no-lifing a game or two
Something I’ve always found funny is the fact that there’s a big chunk of people who have only ever encountered a scramble-pad for typing their bank PIN in Runescape
Legacy of the Dragonborn felt so laser-targeted to me when I found it. I would already fill the house display racks with named weapons - now I get to keep everything
If you want to dig deep into picross, check out Griddlers
I desperately want to be using more of the whitespace on either side of the comment column.
I started playing Wesnoth something like 15 years ago because I was a kid who didn’t have access to ways to pay for games online. I’ve come back to it on-and-off years later - it’s a hell of a game for lasting that long.
That moveset looks buck-wild. Guess I’ll go play another few hundred hours of NecroDancer…
