steam controller slid off my lap last night and fell to the floor, now the left stick makes an audible and tactile click if i push it up at all :I

it's snowing. lol. lmao

Amen break whenever Mario vibrates extremely rapidly while emitting a barrage of "ha", "hoo", and "hmm" soundbites

the achewood ai upscale has convinced me that untreated major depression really does destroy your brain. tragic stuff

steam controller arrives today?

tumblr had to be the worst place for people to learn to post because you could always just tell the other person to kill themselves. on forums, this was not an option because you'd get banned so you had to be more constructive in how you conveyed that sentiment

i really think i clicked with her today, feels good to have something go that well when i’ve never really felt i’ve landed first impressions in the past

trip report: date went extremely well, 2 hours chatting on the cafe patio flew by and we could easily have gone a third if it hadn’t started raining

looking for how to do something computer in 2016: lots of options, some a little generic in explanation but largely correct and succinct looking for that now: How To Do X Thing: A First-Time Guide that does not ever actually explain how to do the thing

useful heuristic for telling ai slop how-to websites apart from legitimate ones is the legit ones often have screenshots. also they don't follow the super formulaic ai formatting and writing style but it's definitely faster to look for inline pics

not sure why this guy in the office needs to microwave and eat 3 cans of tuna a day but he sure does do that

i love you grain weevil

the ghost that lives in this house is getting bolder. just heard a toilet seat slam downstairs and i’m the only one home

good news though, i can drive again! apparently what i thought was a license restriction i had to clear with a doctor and the dmv was actually just the surgeon telling me 'don't drive until i say otherwise' and he's already said otherwise so it's all good

just remembered my current boss is the safety lady who is also his wife and she's been extremely happy with all the office stuff i've done for her, so there's a good chance she's gushed to him about how good i am which would absolutely piss him off. lol. lmao

lol someone stole my harness out of the job box at site and now i'm on the hook for $250 to replace it. fucking cool! project manager could barely pretend to give a shit when he told me

the silver lining to all this is the rest of the world is going to cut north america out like a tumor, eventually. i look forward to that, even though i doubt i will live to see it. the knowledge that justice will inevitably be done is enough

looking at this and thinking about the obscenely corrupt approvals process i just saw for a 300mw ai pavilion in my province that will entirely serve american companies with american DoD contracts and feeling nothing. at least i get 3 more years before the total fascists replace the economic ones

stalker gamma sure is still stalker. sure wish one of those mods fixed the clairvoyant enemies though, having them instantly know where i am after i hs one dude from cover with a silencer in the dead of night is very unfun

they're doing new employee orientation in the office today and just a few minutes ago one of the new hires came into the lunch room beaming that he'd finished the safety course. the hr lady went to go see, came back and quietly told us he had finished *registering* for it. bro it's been 4 hours

also new gits trailer? they’re making batou a little silly with it? the major looks way fucking cool? Folks We Have Never Been So Back As We Are Right Now

it’s finally warm enough to sleep with the window open

got stalker gamma working on bazzite by following half of one install guide and half of another. it’s not the brand new update but it does actually work, somehow

stunting on these hogs #votv

reuniting the Beatles #votv

huh. at first i thought steam game recording would only capture all system audio and was disappointed, but 10 seconds of searching and i found someone who wrote a config that manipulates pipewire to send only game audio, no fuss no mess. amusingly it only works with proton

ok i gave the sourcemod a shot and it whips, they got way more maps now. their idea of what constitutes t1/t2 difficulty is silly though and it still doesn't have the greatest bhop map ever aka monsterjam. smh

well i’ve just spent like an hour trying to install stalker gamma on bazzite, ran into a problem (bundled version of winetricks is broken) and found a thread where someone else ran into that and got the classic linux “why are you doing it THAT way” answer to their question. very cool

had my earbuds in with music paused while i was away from the laptop and got jumpscared by jerma whispering in my ear because i forgot there was a twitch tab open

i made that vid like three years ago to show the devs, they couldn't reproduce it but claimed it fixed in the last major patch. i made it 15 minutes of normal play before it happened again :(

sad that bonelab remains kinda jacked up. i'd play it more if this interaction bug didn't consistently happen to me and break how guns work until i reload the scene. pretty bad since it disables mag dropping via b/menu for everything because the game thinks i'm still holding the bugged gun

i tried that garrys mod sequel when it was in beta and went to create a persona or whatever the hell. it shows me this horrible chud man, very median british guy. i click on the button to switch the gender and it gives me the exact same model in an ill fitting dress and wig, 5 o'clock shadow intact

is cs2 bhop any good yet. i tried it like 6 months ago and the timer plugins were super primitive and the physics were all weird compared to csgo or css. maybe i just gotta give up on it and play that one sourcemod that has all the movement gamemodes instead

dang i look real good today. feels pretty nice to want to look in the mirror for a change

also they once sent one implying whois anonymization wasn't on and that was a real oh fuck moment. until i checked and it was fine. assholes

i think my domain registrar has been private equity'd. weird bad branding change and the emails they send now are forthrightly misleading. yes, my domain is expiring. in august. i don't need frantically titled emails about it starting in february you nerds

whys new star fox got the benjamin franklin hundred dollar bill expression. did he see the togepi pics

lol i misread the guliani tweet really badly and thought they were asking god to accept his soul, and i was like “wow damn. i guess everyone does want to see the back of him”

reading the local reddits re: our province's horrifying new internment policy for addicts and wow it's bad. these people are already talking like card carrying nazis, when it comes out in a couple years that this dumb program accomplished nothing and cost an insane amount of public money...

word for mac not having features the windows version had in 2013 is turning me into the joker. i hate michaelsoft so much

oh nvm it's buried in the emoji viewer. that's dumb

does macos seriously not have a built-in character map? what the fuck?

not looking forward to spending this evening on the phone trying to chase down why it's the second week of May and they still haven't done anything

last update on tax refund was the day it was submitted and all they did was set the expected completion date to n/a 😭

it was really weird how all the vcs and sv adjacent types were loudly going on about Malthus for a couple weeks a while back then they seemingly all stopped talking about it at once. probably nothing

damn it's true. Ploopy DOES have it

Ploopy

can't believe i got a date and h3vr2 announcement in the same hour and a half span. i'm vibrating with excitement

it's on. coffee scheduled for next wednesday

oh my god???? how is today so full of good news for me specifically. let's fucking go dude i can't wait, this looks so sick
