At least once..

..the brown slop on the left could easily be a two’fer!

I’ll give Libre Office a crack over the weekend, if/when I get my Bazzite installation going and will see how it goes; I wonder just how much support it has for the newer functions that have outputs that overfill into adjacent cells (e.g. UNIQUE)?

I think the biggest hurdle against transitioning away from Windows to Linux for most government offices isn’t the OS itself - but rather the MS Office suite!

You’d honestly be surprised how pervasive Excel is amongst white collar workers; and I think the biggest hurdle is the uncertainty of compatibility (of formulas, macros, workbook links etc.) from Excel to Open/Libre Office alternatives.

I literally started downloading the Bazzite installer on my PC just before heading out to work - will be installing it on a spare NVME and seeing how it goes tonight hopefully!

Bazzite does have a Nvidia-specific build, I’ll report back in a day or two how I go with my 3090.

Very true, same applies to the ESRB in the US. The ESA literally only formed the organisation to self-censor rather than leave it to the Gov’t following outrage over Mortal Kombat — if I’m remembering correctly?

Here in Australia, the ACB is a government body — but just about as useless, if not even more so! For the longest time, we had to have our games additionally censored because they were viewed as for children and therefore couldn’t depict excessive violence, any sexual themes or drug use. Manhunt, Grand Theft Auto 3 & Vice City were notable examples.

What am I getting at, even I don’t know. I guess to say that both implementations can be shit..? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Haven’t played the GTA3 Dreamcast port yet.. it always felt more like tech demo than an actual game to me, especially after playing Vice City.

Will definitely give it a go at some point in the future, though - hopefully?

Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Ren & Stimpy, etc.

That was a rabbit hole to fall down, unlocking so many childhood memories! For some reason, I thought those were all by Klasky Csupo, turns out I totally misremembered… 😅

May as well throw CatDog onto that list too, I sing the theme song to my daughter to make her laugh..

I kinda feel sorry for later generations, there really is no way that modern kids animation holds a candle to what we millennials got to experience.

Until Samsung (in particular) actually deliver on their stated promise, I’ll remain skeptical.

Especially as less than a year ago iFixIt had to terminate their relationship/agreement because Samsung failed to deliver on their promises to aid in end-user repairs.

For all their myriad of flaws, Apple at least has a proven track record of providing long term security and feature updates.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Region-specific bonus tracks that are literally not available on any streaming service in an official capacity; the only place I can find them are on YouTube - where they could get DMCA’ed at a moment’s notice..

Two tracks off the top of my head like this are:

1. Don’t Tell Me It’s Over by Blink 182, from Take Off Your Pants & Jacket
2. Subject to Change by Sum 41, from Chuck

Didn’t know about the NES game, thanks for the heads-up! It looks like it was only released in Japan and based on the original Kyatto Ninden Teyandee version, and not the deranged English dub.

Even calling the original series notionally relevant is probably a stretch, it wasn’t even renewed for a second season! 🤣 But I guess we have its general failure to thank for setting in the Rube Goldberg series of events which led to the absurd English dub?

I honestly have no idea who greenlit this or why; but given just how obscure the source is - I have hopes that it’s a passion project, and will be made with love and care.

“One of us, one of us, one of us!”

While the win is good, the fact that it’s still a PEGI 12 game while FIFA is a PEGI 3 shows what an absolute joke the whole process is.

Australia had to deal with similar levels of bullshit for way too long before our ratings board finally capitulated to common sense and introduced an R18 rating (for games like The Last of Us, not even XXX content!).

We have an endemic gambling problem too, so I don’t foresee much common sense coming out of that mob anytime soon - either.

$250K isn’t that outrageous of a household income (or at least it shouldn’t be); literally two good white collar jobs would reach that point in the coastal cities.

The bigger thing at issue is to not frame it as 90% vs 10%, it’s literally 99% vs 1% — if not 99.9% vs. 0.1% if we are really talking about the ‘disconnected from reality wealthy’.

That’s the line that the wealthiest amongst us are trying to draw, in order to build class disunity. A white-collar household pulling in $250K has a lot more in common with a blue-collar household pulling in $65K, than they do the oligarchy above them.

Colour me intrigued, have never come across it before..

..and brand recommendations for the zero-sugar variety?

Would you happen to know whether this is something that a UserAgent spoofer would suffice to get around?

I’ve only ever played the first three Resident Evils (and only completed Director’s Cut & 2!); having a lot of fun going back and playing through all of the experiences I missed growing up.

Thanks! I was already aware of that, but others might not be.

I used tweet in the generic sense because like hell I would ever say “Holy crap, that’s a real truth!”

Buying direct also gives those companies a higher profit margin; meaning they have the opportunity to expand, or better pay their employees (whether or not they do, is a seperate matter).

I’m going to be sick..
