depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!

hilariously more drugs can also help, heavily depends on your brain and your current relationship with drugs

i’m using photogimp and haven’t looked back, it’s surprisingly robust

i just bought and returned four fake-ass 512gb microSDs. now i won’t touch samsung memory at all, the market is FLOODED with fakes.

i’ll never forget the first time i got bit through a shirt. i swear they get bigger the closer you are to a lake.

i love when lists like this include “metal” bc you can get a vague idea of when they were conceived.

it’s a little like how everytime a standout hit movie or game comes out, without fail it’ll be topping “best x of all time” lists for a year or so. at least until the next big exciting thing releases lmao

this is how i learned how to play hearts!

i don’t think we need one?

omfg blueglass BETTER play this at GDQ. i miss him so much.

i’m blown away that the switch 2 is so beefy. nintendo has been the “lower spec consoles but AMAZING first party games” company for as long as i can remember.

not useful to you ≠ totally useless

your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.

if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.

also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.

that’s very interesting, thank you for sharing!

this comment genuinely reminded me that i need to both find my choker and finish installing linux on my x230t

in response to plans?

chill.

in response to something like a political opinion?

highly sarcastic.

this is why the og ds mariokart is the one i’ve sunk the most hours into BY FAR

i choose to believe this particular engineer saw the potential for this issue, but just hated those cables with a burning passion.

try thrifting if that’s an option near you!

babe i’ve given BOTH of us a great idea. i’ve still got my very first big ass CRT. i’d love to give it life again.

bonus points if you reuse the old DVI hookup as a video out. TIL regular-ass DVI can handle 1920x1200 @ 60hz!
