The important thing you need to know about Vampire Survivors is that somehow, even late game, they find a way to keep the playing field visible and accessible

I can always tell whether someone is technical or not when I tell them that I used to work for a company whose primary product was random numbers.

Technical people go "oh, cool". Nontechnical people look at me like I just fucked their dog.

Randomness is hard, friends!

I like dense lore, but 12 MONKEYS (2015) must be completely unwatchable for folks who don't enjoy idling on the deeper implications of everything between episodes.

If anyone's interested: the Raycon bone conduction headphones and "Fitness Open" headphones? Great. Do the job perfectly, and the price is right.

They're nothing special, but they work, and have multipoint which is nice. You get exactly what you think you're getting, essentially.

TIL: the girl in THE OFFSPRING's video for SHE'S GOT ISSUES - vintage 1998 - is a pre-fame Zooey Deschanel.

Okay, it's not quite "Dexter Holland (lead singer) is a microbiologist who was cited as a crucial contributor to the COVID vaccine" - also true - but still.

The flu vaccine kicked my arse a bit (since I'm immunocompromised with the MS treatment). STILL worth it. Flu is no joke. Don't be fooled by people calling a cold flu - when you get it, it will have you on your arse.
Always get flu shots. Always.
Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Musk's latest move to show on Twitter where an account was created and is used confuses the balls off me. I've been talking to @mogtheconfessor.bsky.social about it.

It only burns the Right. And sure, he's disaffected from Trump, but he's still a fascist. It is as simple as getting his own back?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

The purity test bloc of our side drives me up the fucking wall. They're unable to win. Anyone feeling encouraged by a small step Left is to be accused of being a fascist and counter-revolutionary.

It conveniently means they don't have to do anything, because only zero to revolution matters.

I'm really not sure when Belkin pivoted as a brand. I mean, I'm old enough to remember when if you wanted a shitty keyboard or mouse and only had ten quid, Belkin was your brand.

And now they're getting featured on the Apple Store. Total 180.

Yooo. STARGATE is coming back, in the same canon as the previous shows.

I have a deep and abiding love for STARGATE in all its forms. Yes, even UNIVERSE. Probably not INFINITY but nobody except STAR TREK is perfect.

There has to be some mileage in a story concept where humanity is so utterly irredeemable that the Rapture happened and nobody noticed, and thus the tribulation started and nobody connected the dots.

Seen so many people saying "but Clinton is probably in the files, want them released now?" like it's some kind of gotcha.

Yes. I do. And I want everyone to go down. People I hate, people I love, people I've never heard of. If the evidence shows they've been fiddling with kids, in the bin they go.

Adafruit's CYBERDECK HAT combined with the Pi 500+ and Pimorini Hyperpixel (4in) is truly hilarious.

TACO is true, but I worry about the effect of using it as a rhetorical tool. There are plenty of ways to attack him on the high or low ground - he's orange, for fuck's sake.

But if we get him pissed about being seen to chicken out, it means that he can't be walked back from his most egregious shit.
