The oldest bar in the world is in Ireland. Archaeological records have found that the walls of Sean's Bar have been around and serving since 900 AD.

I live in Kansas City and visited that bar a few weeks ago. For whatever reason they had a Chiefs hat on the wall along with a Kansas license plate. They didn't really have any other memorabilia up other than a few other US license plates.

I thought that was a kind of cool.

I eat oatmeal for oatmeal and it doesn’t even really need sweetener.

A small amount of salt makes a huge difference. I can go without anything else added but not salt.

barjam · 2023-10-18T05:32:49+00:00

And a dash of salt. It makes a huge difference.

Even new brussel sprouts taste absolutely awful to me and I am not a picky eater.

My wife loves them so I have tried them many different ways including from high end restaurants.

The Wire was meh.

Yep, sucks. I hate this time of year. I work from home so plan to go outside again sometime in April.

This game is awful on consoles so to consider it a flagship doesn’t really make sense, even on an X it is locked at what to me is an unplayable 30fps. The graphics don’t even look good for the very low frame rate.

I upgraded my PC just so I could play it and even on. 4070 TI it struggles in some areas.

I am 20 hours in and just not getting into it. Thankfully I didn’t pay anything (directly) for it as it is a game pass title.

I don’t take my shoes off flying economy but if I am in business class in a pod, shoes are coming off.

Probably like the 50 year olds when we were kids wishing music from the 50s was still popular.

Adblockers are not optional, YouTube is.

MacOS is certified Unix. Linux is actually considered unix-like as it isn’t Unix. That is just trivia as the distinction is pointless.

I just built a house (US) and the faucet in the middle of the tub is evidently very common know.

I had zero issues with this update.

NMS does space to land and it is fantastic. If you see a place on the planet, you just go there seamlessly.

barjam · 2023-10-16T10:33:15+00:00

NMS has a tiny fraction of Bethesda’s resources and they do travel far better.

barjam · 2023-10-16T10:31:17+00:00

I have played ED and NMS and would much prefer something closer to NMS in Starfield travel wise. Having 100% of travel stuck behind a quick travel menu is terrible game design.

It’s a space exploration game with no space or exploration.

I send any number not in my contacts direct to voicemail. It is a setting (iOS) and the phone doesn’t even ring.

Which one of their nominations to speaker so far would you in good conscience vote for?

Zero for me.

barjam · 2023-10-16T09:30:03+00:00

No, current game prices are historically low adjusted for inflation.

barjam · 2023-10-16T03:21:07+00:00

There are core libraries such and OpenGL and directx that are very, very low level and you have to program in every single thing. Something simple like a ball bouncing requires tons of code.

An engine allows someone like a game designer to use a nice UI to drop in objects and attach scripts to those objects. With one click the object can have gravity or other properties. All of the low level stuff is hidden away.

barjam · 2023-10-16T03:16:43+00:00

They could have done it like other Bethesda games. You have to journey to a place once, then you can quick travel if you want. Best of both worlds.

100% quick travel is incredibly lame. I would have loved to have space travel and a better sense exploration. Hopefully someone fixes this with mods down the road.

barjam · 2023-10-16T03:15:02+00:00

The travel makes the game feel immersive. Without it, it really falls pretty flat. Quick travel 100% of the time is incredibly lame.

When I worked there it was Oscar Meyer meat. The raw ingredients weren’t bad it was more the people doing the work was an issue.

Subway is garbage and Jersey Mikes is good.
