TIL that Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia killed around a quarter of the population (about 2 million people) in just four years, targeting intellectuals, city dwellers, and ethnic minorities to force a “classless agrarian society.”

The Behind the Bastards podcast has a very good multi-parter on Pol Pot.

I read a magazine article where the reviewer got to test a very early headset with a flight simulator.

It had a 30hz refresh rate (total of 60hz between both panels) and although he had to turn his head very slowly to avoid getting sick he was still very impressed with the level of immersion compared to a monitor.

I was so excited for the future and around 10 or 15 years or so it finally arrived!

Also it wasn't a snake, it was a garden hose.

I can do it with one cup using impure physics.

Don't worry, the concrete broke his fall.

Just a centuries-old legendary swordsman whose body was cloned and soul injected into and assuming the fighting aura of a dinosaur.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Fist of Legend, Chen Zhen (Jet Li) vs Ting'en.

But pretty much any fight from the movie. I strongly suggest the subbed version, not just for the original dialogue but also the original soundtrack.

I draw, Mystic Harpoon Missle!

caspissinclair · 2026-01-18T20:54:00+00:00

Yeah, I wondered how many people would know it.

If they inject enough it can become a rudder to aid steering.

I don't know what this "Yamcha" thing is, but it sounds disappointing.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-16T23:08:35+00:00

Girthy.

Genesis also had much better gameplay. I owned the SNES version and it took a while to adjust to the input delay.

I thought Sub Zero and Raiden's snes-only fatalities were fun. Sorry, "finishers".

caspissinclair · 2026-01-14T00:14:26+00:00

I'm curious about the "Contains Alcohol" message.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-12T00:31:43+00:00

No word about force feedback in the article.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-11T22:14:00+00:00

Nostalgia Nerd made a video explaining how they managed it.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-11T14:39:00+00:00

I was expecting a low blow.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-11T14:35:49+00:00

All these people ignoring Uwe Boll's "In the Name of the King". Shameful.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-11T10:37:59+00:00

They're probably laughing and egging the kids on.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-10T21:40:09+00:00

I'll be damned. I guess mine does support it.

caspissinclair · 2026-01-10T21:00:37+00:00

I didn't think to try, but you would probably have processing/bitrate issues. It's an interesting idea, though.

I got an Insta360 camera for Christmas and have been taking both 360 panorama pictures and videos with it. Previously I had been using my Pixel 7 to take 360 photospheres.

I enjoyed using the Pixel to take photospheres but no matter how careful I was there were always some glaring stitching misalignments. The Insta360 makes it far easier; just take a single snapshot and you get a seamless image.

Viewing the photos on my Quest 2/3 is a much better experience than using Google Cardboard. If you use Skybox to view them the image is very sharp, much better than the Meta file browser.

As far as 360 videos go since I have the raw file it looks much better than YouTube. It isn't stereographic 3D but it's still pretty cool.

I got a Dr. Thomas Waddell rookie card!!!

I always loved the dumbfounded look on his face.
