what is even more funny about this is that the name of that directory used to be locale-dependent, so in sweden it was just called “Program”, completely nullifying that idea.

huh? it absolutely is

i’ve never had the time to get into emacs, would love to though.

also, some layouts have the : on its own key, and if you include the esc in vim commands you’re not using vim correctly :)

four. the ! is unnecessary. how many actions are there to save and quit in other editors? ctrl, s, ctrl, w is four. move to file, click, move to save, click, move to ×, click is six.

and that’s before we replace the wq with x.

surprise! it’s actually banning tylenol

what? this is everywhere in sweden

and pitepalt!

everyone gets pizza

i played and loved all the myst games, including uru live. i was really excited for neyyah, followed development for years. think i’m a third of the way through now, going by achievements.

so far, it feels like what people who don’t like myst think people enjoy about myst. it’s beautiful, densely detalied, and impenetrable . it starts with a five minute lore dump (cut down from fifteen in the demo, the dev was really proud of having “streamlined” the experience), there’s a new made-up word introduced every sentence (don’t worry, you get a glossary), and all the puzzles so far have been “align these in order” or “put the square thing in the square hole”.
puzzles are sort of integrated into the world like in riven, but in a weird haphazard way where there are random screens placed in the world. there are encoded notes everywhere, and they’re unreadable unless you “know the trick”, which you learn fairly quickly and after that they all become plaintext instantly. which is just as well because most of them are just fluff.
there are hints at interesting mechanics but i’ve not gotten there yet, the biggest change so far is getting a briefcase full of balls that activate machines. the balls are one-time use and uniquely coded so once you put the right ball in a machine it stays on and you no longer have that ball. it’s basically a series of fetch quests but you get all the items at once and have to just go around and put them in the right place.

all in all, a strange experience. i’m holding off on final judgement but so far i’m only impressed by the graphics. i’m hoping the story finds its footing soon because my patience with the glossary is starting to wear thin.

as a child it was cool. as an adult it’s just sooooooo loooooooong…

football is all like “ew i don’t want to touch this panda egg”

i mean, weird filters have been a thing for a while now. i don’t get them, but they were on a phone i bought in like 2014. i could add ar dinosaurs to photos.

i’m 2000 cycles in and i’ve never even thought of changing it, four bathrooms seem to be working fine for 16 dupes…

no, translated

yeah we call it “rucola lettuce”

is this a language/culture thing? because rucola is absolutely in the “a kind of lettuce” class of vegetable here, together with romaine and kale.

it’s mojo jojo

it is apparently D-segment, yeah. i have a C-seg car and have found the model 3 to be very similar in size, but maybe that’s just a matter of the height making it look smaller.

“slightly lower” == 2/3rds, apparently. the model 3’s pack is 250Wh/kg. also, 500km range in what? the only way you could fit an equal-range battery in a contemporary compact vehicle like the model 3 would be if it had almost double the density of Li-ion.
