  • My kids love the cup song. That’s when I learned about her.

    Then a few years later, some friends and I had a “bad movie night” where we watch movies and take shots during specific bad scenes, and the film was twilight. Anna Kendrick is young in the film (still baby faced) and incredibly forgettable when compared to all the other wacky scenes.











  • I’m a programmer and I make a pretty decent salary, enough to support my family and weather any emergencies.

    The free time I have, I would do these in this order:

    1. Hang out with my wife and kids
    2. Chill out with recreational things like gaming
    3. Continue to study, read books and take online courses, contribute to open-source and build applications for startups
    4. Convert that free time to $100/hr

    Notice that trying to make MORE money is at the bottom for me.

    And if you ARE money driven, working hourly isn’t how most people became rich. They usually win the lottery by doing a hobby that ended up paying dividends. Like building a app and getting bought out, or collecting Pokemon cards or something.


  • Holy cow.

    I’ve used syncthing for years and think it’s great.

    And I have the same problem as OP, where it’s a pain in one’s asshole to upload Steamdeck images without going into SteamOS and annoyingly plugging in a m+KB and spend a lot of time micromanaging the uploads.

    At no point did I think to put thess two together! Great idea!



  • People underestimate how much work is involved with anything involving selling online content. This isn’t just Only fans.

    But if it’s an hour of work to make $100, why wouldn’t I?

    There are people giving plasma for money.

    There are people jacking off animals for money.

    There are people who spend hours scamming old people for money.

    Time is a investment though. Unfortunately $100 a hour is not the best use of my time. But maybe it is for you and your situation.



  • I must have been asleep at the wheel. I didn’t know about Atari 50. Not in the article is also the game Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

    But though it’s in the same format, The Making of Karateka was a different challenge for the team. Atari 50 presents a bird’s-eye view of an entire company over five decades, spanning from the arcades to home consoles like the Jaguar. It’s filled with smaller stories about individual games and hardware launches. The Making of Karateka, on the other hand, is a deep dive into the creation of one defining game, which in turn means it’s very much about a person: creator Jordan Mechner.
