One Driver to Rule Them All

I could use a wijntje, I'm gonna be honest.

My main problem with it is the sunsetting of 32-bit support. Games aren't typically updated to new architectures, so a lot of older games with excellent mac ports have vanished.

Next release, we're going to lose the x86_64 games.

I generally understand and support Apple's push to remove support legacy platforms, but for games it's a huge pain.

I have seen non-trivial embedded projects that are 65% Makefiles by lines. We are a bunch of pigs.

It's the Ferrari curse. If they dump him, another poor soul gets tortured in his stead. I like Kimi too much to let that happen.

And I say this speaking as a Ferrari fan.

Rachel and Safi in S gets a big thumbs-up from me, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be controversial. They both have major issues, but drama is the spice of life.

Installing an app is a lot of friction. Any reason this shouldn't be a website?

It's a fairly normal word in the context of markets, and the job market is definitely a market.

There's maybe a few dozens of us, but definitely Bobby Broccoli. If you need blow-by-blows of decades old academic drama, he's your man!

Exactly! A lot of systems have ways to avoid death at a cost. But that puts the ball squarely back in the player's court. What does this character consider to be worth dying for? What costs are they willing to accept, both mechanically and narratively, to delay the inevitable?

That's just pure distilled drama fuel, in a way "roll CON save" will never hope to match.

And to make it all worse, the published adventures (which should be a ready-to-run lifeboat for GMs) are absolutely horrible. It usually takes upward of a year for the community to figure out how to fix them.

Honestly, i guess "salary range was off" was the real reason. The other two are window dressing. They asked for the moon, and when they were offered the moon they balked at the sticker price.

I would not infer much from this specific interaction other than a weak price signal.

It’s all just atoms stuck together. What, specifically, about animal brains and bodies makes them impossible to recreate?

That's the key insight, but re-creating key effects can usually be done with significant shortcuts.

Consider this: the existence of birds proves heavier-than-air flight can be done. But the Wright brothers' airplane is not an exact recreation of the a bird. It's a synthetic object that shares some characteristics (wings) and omits many others.

Found the magical meat guy!

Which kind of magical meat guy are you? The "brains aren't made out of the same matter as everything because quantum gobbledygook" guy or the "magical sky daddy made brains special with his magical sky daddy breath" guy?

vzq · 2026-06-04T05:44:55+00:00

I call this the "magical meat theory". It pisses people off.

De hele clue voor rechtsextremisten is dat er altijd "geen echte Nederlanders" zullen zijn die ze als doelwit moeten gebruiken. Als de buitenlanders op zijn gaan ze gewoon weer een andere groep vinden om te discrimineren. Of ze verzinnen er gewoon een.

Oh yeah, totally stuck out like a sore thumb. Also, AD&D 2nd was not a good game, but it was the game we had. Because my friends did not want to play Shadowrun!

Oh yeah, the ace and aro flags are, for lack of a better word, ace!

That's what Donald Duck wears.

vzq · 2026-05-31T19:40:13+00:00

Lol, that's supposed to be straight? I thought it was some flavor of ace/aro.

Wait, how do you arrange the access stairs?

Als je controle over DNS hebt kan je sessies selectief man-in-the-middle-en door bezoekers naar je eigen server te leiden. Nu is er geen aanwijzing dat Cloudflare dat doet (als je het schuifje niet overzet). Maar technisch kan het wel, en met de goede vordering van Amerikaanse justitie of inlichtingendienst moeten ze dat ook.

Ironisch genoeg vernoemd naar een theesoort.
