    I was browsing my comment history and stumbled upon this so I decided to finally open the bottle of Besk. Very strange taste. I wasn’t expecting anything like this. Doesn’t taste similar to other supposedly wormwood infused liquors like absinthe or vermouth. I’ve never tasted anything like this. Sort of minty note in bitter flavor I can’t describe. This is certainly not my favorite bitter but if I was ever offered one I would happily drink it.


  • Someone commented on my post about Devil World that what I experienced was Tetris effect. When I was scrolling vertically on my phone I would occasionally experience sideways scrolling similar to the game mechanic even though there certainly wasn’t any sideways scrolling happening.

    Another one was when I was playing Portal. Traveling via portals became my usual method to move around in every dream I had those days.







  • Maybe their necklaces and earrings don’t adhere to OSHA regulations. I don’t know. Everyone has to use their own judgement when posting and I think it’s better to mark NSFW when in doubt, but there seems to be at least two different ways people use NSFW feature so sometimes the choice of using an NSFW tag might not make sense.



  • So even if someone came up with a system whereby they expected you to watch an ad before the power would flow, you could always just plug in and walk away. How are they going to know you’re physically there?

    How about a button located near the ad screen and speaker that you have to hold like at least 80% of ad duration. If you failed to reach 80% it would reset to 0 and show you another ad so you can try again.




  • We didn’t really have arcade in our town but there were some coin-operated games around. I think it wasn’t very long period of time they had Polybius but I remember playing it occasionally during that time. I was quite young so I didn’t fully understand the gameplay and can’t really recall any elements of it anymore. Only thing I do remember is I used to have vivid dreams about it when I hadn’t played it for a while. That sort of made me interested to play it again every once in a while. Though I must have been terrible at that game so I don’t know why I even tried it that many times.

    I didn’t really thought about it when they had changed the machine to different one. I would rather play the Street Fighter II or whatever they had put there instead because it was much easier game to understand. There have been occasional dreams I’ve had much later in my life about this game but other than that I don’t really think about it. Sometimes after having that kind of vivid dream I do think for a while that it would be nice to give it a try again but I don’t know if they have the game anywhere or if it’s possible to emulate via MAME.



  • I don’t understand why people think this is such a useful thing. Sure it has some good summaries but you can’t find all info there whereas man pages should have everything. It’s also good that tldr has examples but I think it’s something man should more often have too. So why would people rather use this than man?

    For example I often forget the order of pattern and file in grep. I can look it up easily in both man and tldr. I also forget what was the short option for recursion. Was it -r, -R or either or something else entirely? I can easily do a search on my pager to find the option in man but there’s only long option available in tldr. That’s Too Long Don’t Want to Type.
