Some of the very best programmers I’ve ever met were self taught, don’t let your dreams be memes

In addition: at some unknown, future time of its choosing, it will expand and consume the earth.

I had an outright argument with one of my own coworkers about this very subject less than six months ago. Even with all of the insane bullshit going on outside today people still just refuse to look up and read any sort of information for themselves.

Ok real shit though Naruto is awesome. NTA

About once a year or so I go replay Morrowind, the chaddest of the Elder Scrolls series.

This past year I replayed Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt tacked onto it, which has been extremely cool and fresh. TR really feels like official content a lot of the time, it’s quite good and the love that’s been put into it is very apparent.

Currently playing FFVI myself. It’s a treat.

Bit easier than other Final Fantasy games, I’m finding… at least in the early game, Edgar and Sabin are ass-blasting everything in the game with very little resistance, those boys probably don’t even need the rest of the Returners squad. I know that will probably change later but the duo are definitely the MVPs of act 1.

I’m also of mixed opinion about the ability to teach every party remember every spell in the game. It’s obviously not the best idea, that I can’t stop myself from doing. Does Edgar or Gau need to know how to cast Bio or Slow or Rasp? No, not at all, and they’re probably better served leveling up with magicite that gives them useful stats. Will they learn those spells? You betcha.

I am happy to pay it so long as I have any sort of expectation that I will see a return from it.

It is becoming increasingly clear to working Americans that we will never see a dollar back out of the Social Security program when it comes time for us to need it.

Because they’re still literally not doing their jobs.

As an example, let’s say I flip burgers for a living. You come in to my restaurant and order a cheeseburger. I then proceed to slap a hunk of raw ground beef and a slice of cheese down right on the counter in front of you. That’ll be $8.50, pay up.

You aren’t going to say “that’s progress!” you’re going to say “that’s not a fucking cheeseburger”.

Same here. Yeah, it is progress forward from the literal nothing that they were doing before. It still is not satisfactory progress that satisfies the basic job requirements of their chosen career.

Going to start wearing one of these full time so all video evidence becomes inadmissible

My friend (who is an engineer) pointed me at this a few years ago and I’ve been pleased with it.

Nah, you’re correct.

The translation is left as an exercise for the reader :)

The name was originally chosen for nerd cred (for anyone who recognizes it - Atra esterní ono thelduin. Mor’ranr lifa unin hjarta onr. Un atra du evarínya ono varda.) but I later realized that it’s also great because it’s an actual word from an actual story and 99% of search engine results for my name are going to bring up that story and its wiki. It’s an extra layer of pseudo-anonymity that I enjoy.

The avatar was just cause it’s funny, I use this one all over the place.

Narrator: He was.

Username checks out

I remember a couple forums had a “thank” feature or something similar that would show, with your username, your approval for a post without having to make an additional post about it. No downvotes though, you had to speak up to be a hater. I think that was a fine middle ground.

Quantum physics tells us that nothing is actually chock full of little somethings

I’ve dark souls dodge rolled an entire series of physical and mental maladies from both sides of my family and I’m afraid they’re all going to hit me like a sack of bricks when I turn 40

What I don’t get, personally, is how this one scratched-in groove wave can contain a bassline, a melody and a singing voice and they all can be differentiated coming out of the speaker.

How speakers work in general is just black magic to me, actually.

I like your funny words, magic man
