Counter offer: Be a huge nerd and hang out on Lemmy instead.

You’ll probably be scraped by AI bots anyway, but we have penguins and Star Trek memes. And knives.

Being worn by someone awfully short. Perhaps he’s secretly a duck.

It is indeed AI, and imagine my disappointment to learn this because as you can probably guess I would watch the hell out of a random cyberpunk anime involving goth chicks and penguins.

I guess we still have Evangelion, which is probably what this is riffing off of anyways.

(A note to interested readers that there is also Penguin Highway, which I thought was halfway decent.)

“When will [task] be done?”

When I told you it would be done.

“But why isn’t it done now?”

Because it’s not when I told you it would be done yet.

“Well, you need to hurry up and do it faster, because we need it right away.”

Great! But you standing here arguing with me about it is now actively preventing me from getting it done. It will be done when it’s done, which will now be about 20 minutes later than it would have been before you came over here and started shooting your mouth off about it.

If I had a dime for every time I’ve had this conversation with middle management in my various careers, I’d at least be able to afford a Taco Bell combo meal by now.

It’s a melee oriented Metroidvania. Think Ori And The Blind Forest but with more insects and inexplicable frilly faux-Victorian edifices, and less pokey combat. You could play it on a SNES pad if you wanted to. I got to 100% on it back when using a cheap wireless keyboard from my couch.

I don’t know about you, but Hollow Knight’s main contribution to my household is that my wife and I still call any filigree wrought ironwork benches we see “save points.”

Especially since VBA can make calls to the Windows API directly and through that avenue do all kinds of funky things to your system.

This is totally expected and also absolutely peanuts compared to Intel, who once released a processor that managed to perform floating point long division incorrectly in fascinating (if you’re the right type of nerd) and subtle ways. Hands up everyone who remembers that debacle!

Nobody? Just me?

Anyway, I totally had — and probably still have, somewhere — one of the affected chips. You could check if yours was one of the flawed ones literally by using the Windows calculator.
