The Earth is going to run out of certain things eventually. Non-renewable resources. Among them is, of all things, the noble gas helium - because it is so light that when you just let it out into the atmosphere it floats to the top and escapes out into space.

What would happen if, for the sake of argument, I got my left sciatic nerve surgically removed? Probably nothing good but I'm just about fed up with this fucker.

Pretty sure that in the books, Holden is the shortest person on the Rocinante. The other main crewmembers are a Belter, a Martian, and the brute Amos who even Belters describe as "huge".

The subscription feed on YouTube is trying to sell me a video of a channel I am not subscribed to. Conglaturation, you finally managed to ruin the one part of YouTube that actually worked.

*disables scroll wheel clutch* *grabs can of compressed air* Ohohohohoho this actually works.

Of course the M1 Garand is a hunting rifle. "What's it hunt?" Historically, Germans.

"So you went to see Anakin on Mustafar?" "Yep." "How was he?" "Medium rare."

Oh damn you, Wong.

And now it's Arkham Origins. I'm cool with this, that part of Arkham Origins was so neat that Rocksteady put it in Knight after, and it's still neat now. It is, however, somewhat unoriginal. Like this game wasn't already "Arachnid Arkham".

I don't have any particular problems using a bluetooth controller but I do wonder why, in the year two thousand and twenty-five, it still takes 5-10 seconds to connect the fucking thing every time I turn it on. Why are we not better at this by now?

"And I swear that I don't have a gun" --Kurt Cobain, 1992 "I lied." --Kurt Cobain, 1994

Normally the food the grocery store calls "spicy" isn't really all that interesting. For some reason the only major exception to this rule is ramen. Which is fine by me, this is great, but why is the other stuff so tepid by comparison?

Spider-Man 2? More like Spiderman 64.

The young man so unaccountably known as "Annie" was denied the rank of "Master" he so coveted. Outrageous and unfair, he called the snubbing. Later when he was busy slaughtering Jedi he came upon the Younglings. No reason to kill Younglings. Unfortunately, one of them called him MASTER Skywalker.

I have checked all three major Spider-Hyphen-Man games of recent times and have discovered that none of them feature the Oldest House, a building known in real life as "Long Lines" located at 33 Thomas Street. Thomas Street isn't in the game but the other two streets it's adjacent to are.

And another one gone. This game was a lot shorter.

Why is there a camping stove next to the- Oh I get it. This thing doesn't have a heated bed because Roxxon can't afford quality 3D printers.

How do you say "I have no fucking clue, I just work here dude" in Bulgarian?

Hey @catovitch.bsky.social I found a new keyboard layout for you.

You may ask yourself if those computer components are massive, or if it just looks that way because Kilometers Morales is 38% smaller than Miles Morales.

Another one rides the bus! That was actually really good. You wouldn't expect it from a movie licence even by a AAA developer.

One reason I did badly at School is that I had no respect for education. Go figure. Another is that I had, and still have, a hard time remembering things I don't understand. I'm sure integral calculus makes sense but the teachers never managed to communicate why and, importantly, what for.

I want to visit the cathedral, with tea.

"It's too dark! Can you throw me a torch?" Sure thing, Ms. Lombardi! *grabs torch* *lights torch* *aims* *throws* "Ow!" Bullseye.

This isn't cursive, it's *curse*ive. Jesus wept. You need a Ph.D. in cryptography to read this. I can make out just enough of the original (German) text to confirm it matches the transcription but if you told me this is Sanskrit I'd probably believe it. This just doesn't look like Latin letters.

What if the rock's purpose was to push Sisyphus down the hill? You know, equal and opposite?

I just checked Amazon Video and the first season of The Expanse is now available in English. Good because I wasn't able to refund it after finding out it only came in German.

"Hey, do you want a VR horror game?" No thank you I'm too young to die of a heart attack.

I'm not done with it yet but I have some thoughts about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. First off, despite being by the same studio that did the Wolfenstein reboot, the shooting is kind of... just bad. It may be intentional to discourage a run-and-gun approach which wouldn't be very Indy.

I love the Can Opener bridge. Even raising it eight inches did not do much to stop rental truck roofs being sacrificed to the mighty bridge.

I have enough monitors connected to my PC to outfit a mid-sized game development studio. And id Tech games in particular can never remember which one to use. Just then, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle opened up on #3 rather than #1. Good job, well done.

"Hm, GOG Galaxy shows a patch for Cyberpunk, let's see-" 81.75GB download. Are you taking the smeg. That's the whole-ass game, my dude.

Okay now I just need to finish Kilometers Morales.

The way your brain and related bits send signals to your muscles is binary. On, or off. It can't send a "bend partway" signal, that's just not how it works. So instead it basically uses PWM to get finer control. Yes, like a computer fan.

Oh, SO close.

Saw a video semi-recently explaining that most cat owners just cat wrong. And... sorry but no. The video was all about how cats are assholes and should be accommodated and that's exactly how the perception that "cats don't have owners, they have staff" got started.

WHELP Now I'm wide awake at half five.

Concord died faster than the Virtual Boy.

The main villain of Skyrim is a dragon nicknamed the World Eater. Alduin is Angron, it's canon, deal with it.

You can tell that they were dedicated to their Indy development.

Dad has a new chainsaw. Beware.

You got issues, lady.

That's helpful.

Grid infill is printed the same way the DVD logo bounces. So you can watch your 3D printer and cheer when the nozzle hits the corner.

I've just checked my Audible library and it turns out that all but one of the books I own there are hard Sci-Fi. And the one that isn't? Stephen Hawkin's The Universe in a Nutshell.

This search term led me to the correct result immediately. And people say Google is useless nowadays. You just have to be sufficiently abrasive.

Oh don't worry. I know why. And I'm not disabling it.

What's the over/under on how many 3D printers I will be surrounded by on the day I die?

Ha. The Steam Autumn Sale has nothing I particularly need for a price I'd particularly care to pay. It's still weird, seeing those deals and going "nah, I don't need more games right now" and now "man I wish I had the money". Because I totally could, I just don't feel like it.

My sister's husband's birthday is the same as their wedding anniversary. Which I'm entirely convinced was on purpose so he wouldn't have any excuses for forgetting the date.
