Whoops apparently my PC BIOS hasn't been updated since 2019 ...I should probably fix that

late stage capitalism is where you buy a lottery ticket and not dream of a fantasy life, but just a way out of overwhelming day to day hardships. not a big boat or a fleet of fancy cars, but just a secure house, bills paid, food on the table.

microsoft developers using SteamOS running Windows-native games through compatibility layers AS A BENCHMARK for their new Windows K2 optimizations is one of the funniest fucking things to happen thus far in this current iteration of the OS war

I'm still completely stumped about this Amiga keyboard. I don't know why it stops working as soon as I assemble it. Am I missing pieces? Is the membrane bad?

Anyone else get this strange message on PayPal? Something about a "pre-fund confirmation" for nearly $1000? I can't report it for suspicious activity but I don't know what to do to avoid getting hit with a scam.

Lynxes that soak food for their cubs First time documented in predators. females Lynxes (Toledo, Spain) submerge their prey for up to 60 seconds. They do this in the summer; it helps them transport water, and seems to be a cultural practice (paper) bigcatrescue.org/conservation...

Steam Controller will apparently cost $99, price mentioned in a review that accidentally went up early. Release/orders may be imminent. "Also at 99 dollars, it's not cheap, but it's only 25 dollars more than a PS5 controller." streamable.com/lj7ut3 www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeak...

happy 13th anniversary to this unfortunate bit of social media marketing

Why is YouTube hiding the cast button now? I mainly use the phone app to control my TV but now it's buried in a hamburger menu. Tbh the whole casting experience seems to be getting worse, period

Aww man Rec Room is shutting down, as the only social VR game on PS4 I played it a ton back in the day and loved it 😭 blog.recroom.com/posts/school...

Did bluesky break again

Had another "duh" moment today, I just realized I'm just using a basic USB power cord with my raspberry pi and not one of those beefy 5 amp ones for more elaborate setups. Ordering one now to at least rule that out.

Holy crap, I see now how easy it is to lose half a day in VRchat

Still struggling with my raspberry pi Amiga, trying to get greaseweazle to talk to the Amiga floppy drive. I have a sneaking suspicion it's because I don't have a 12v power rail.

Help, my coworker transferred to another store and the guy that replaced him is making me listen to Christian rap music 😱

We need a "furries make the internets go" meme but for furry pilots

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

Myst (1993)

Had a dream about a live action Magic School Bus movie and man it looked sick

Finally beat Metroid Prime 4. Finally. First half was pretty cool, second half turned into a slog. Ending sucked. Definitely not the best in the series.

Welp today I found out that my favorite Hamilton song is almost the exact length of time for my commute home from work

-I don't remember these tv shows/movies. #MetalGearSolid #ResidentEvil #Metroid #StarFox

Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Deluxe (1992)

POV: You're tired of waiting forever for your programs to load.

I started to assemble my Amiga last night to test fit parts, only to find out half the keyboard doesn't work 🥲 I wonder if I still have any of that electrical contact paint, I have a suspicion it's the key switches

With every passing day I'm more and more convinced that human intelligence is actually an anomaly, the majority of the human race is just braindead cattle 🙃 www.newsweek.com/viewers-stun...

Gentle reminder…

Dug up some old art and found this bobcat pencil sketch that I did nearly 20 years ago (ugghh) for a commissioned portfolio of Central California wildlife. #bobcat #animalart

a peaceful brother for most of the year but an absolute terror during the annual abbey snowball fights (commission)

Again - BlueSky was originally Jack Dorsey’s pet project to make a Web3 social media / NFT trading post until a bunch of trans furries got ahold of invite codes and started mass-proliferating them to other trans furries and then suddenly BlueSky was 90% queers and annoying leftists and Jack fled.

Hey Nintendo, remember once upon a time you had a Seal of Quality to assure parents they wouldn't buy garbage for their kids? No? It really shows. youtu.be/8nRo9nxq1TI?...

the Western Electric engineers could have never imagined who would be maintaining their stuff

me: why does no one take my threats seriously? my threats:

I don't care if the critics hated the Mario Galaxy movie, I had a big dumb grin on my face from beginning to end

People who stop traffic dead just to wait for a Walmart parking spot to open deserve jail time or worse

I thought April showers were supposed to be spread out through the whole month, not all at once

Been out all evening trying to help my friend Macid get VR working on his PC. His old Vive makes Steam VR crash. His brand new PS5 VR won't connect to bluetooth. Tried plugging in my partner's Quest, worked immediately. Why is VR tech so fickle??
