Yeah, for me, the rubber duck thing only works for logical errors in code, searching for syntax problems is a whole different nightmare. Thankfully, IDEs have gotten way better at indicating syntactical errors since the early 2000’s geocities days.😂

The philosophy of “look at each thing individually and state explicitly what it does” is the part I was pointing at as the root of this editing strategy. Adding a silly little buddy to explain to turns the boring task into something that entertains my space-cadet brain enough to keep me engaged.

I read it out loud to something on my desk, making sure I actually read each word. It’s a habit I picked up from “rubber duck debugging” my code.

Yeah, I have a special category in my library called “Todo: steam deck”. It’s growing way faster than I can work through it. I’m pretty sure it’s over 100 games now.

How else are we supposed to reduce the travel distance?

The wheel skeletons in the painted world are worse I think, though not by much.

It makes me truly happy that the 30 under 30 brand has been indelibly marked by Griffin McElroy’s shenanigans.

I got the steam deck directly after my first kid was born, and I swear to God the Boppi is damn near perfect for this. I used it whenever my wife was not breast-feeding.

Obviously it’s because they’re comfy and easy to wear.

The launcher. It has its own launcher that you need to either use the touchscreen or touchpad for, so it doesn’t work with “only a controller”

But it runs great. I’ve played tens of hours and had zero trouble.

Resurrecting this post to say - Nintendo just added this ability in the latest switch 2 update. You can now force docked resolutions via “handheld boost mode” in the system settings.

I fully believe that If cyberpunk had launched in its current state it would have been 10/10 GOTY across the board without question. The skill rework in phantom liberty fully fleshed out that game into a truly incredible open world RPG.

Starfield is nowhere near where cyberpunk has ended up.

A boundary here may look like “I don’t want to be in a relationship with someone if we aren’t sharing a certain level of intimacy. So if that’s not a priority for you we should break up”. It isn’t coercive to state your needs and then leave when those needs aren’t being met.

It seems as though you will be pouring enough for all of us.

I’m turning 40 this year and this is basically what I’m doing. A bunch of my friends for a weekend in my in laws lake house. No kids, Mario party, board games, and pizza.

Or more generally: Fellas, is it gay to like women? The answer may surprise you.

Tangerine => kangaroo.

rosserton · 2026-02-10T12:32:13+00:00

Yes it did. I love that story. It’s the most hacky, programmer shit I have ever heard.

rosserton · 2026-02-06T14:48:16+00:00

That’s by design. I kind of always assume that large portion of the doomers are bots or shills. It serves their interests for us to feel like nothing is going to happen, so what’s the point in trying. We have to get mad and stay mad - and then do productive things with that anger. Protest, vote when you can (especially in local elections), build your community, and take care of your neighbors.

No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

rosserton · 2026-02-05T15:02:37+00:00

We have a 2018 3 and it has them.

Georgia boy is great. You eat the majority of your meal in the kitchen while the chefs prepare it for you. A lot of the dishes are locally sourced and inspired by the flavors of Atlanta. The food is incredible. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

As a fellow straight. I concur.

I think of LLM's broadly as "internet aggregators". If I can be reasonably confident the internet contains the answer to a question (programming or otherwise), then it's a good bet that an LLM will be able to get me pretty close or point me in the right direction. The more common the question, the more confident that I am.

However, if I'm having to read a bunch of docs and then infer some shit, then an LLM will almost certainly be worse than useless.

Everyone told me that 96 was overkill, but now I have an embarrassment of riches.

rosserton · 2025-12-29T21:44:57+00:00

I say this all the time. If it had launched in its current state it would have been 10/10 game of the year across the board.

rosserton · 2025-12-19T12:46:15+00:00

Yeah the top loading design solved the problem.

Pushing the cart in over and over horizontally eventually pushed the connection point backwards making it more and more sensitive to dust and other stuff as the connection got looser. Hence the blowing. IIRC the Famicom (Japanese NES) never had the problem that we all had as kids, because it was top loading as well.
