Company has forced Copilot reviews on every PR and good god, it likes to waste your time.
I changed a comment to fix some weird grammar, and Copilot reviewed that change by suggesting a fix for weird grammar - the one I just made.
Yeah...thanks....

Is it actually legal for HGVs to be driving three abreast in BC or is it just another symptom of BC drivers not having any idea how lanes work?

Finally got my hands on a copy of Riviera for PSP. Ironically I owned Department Heaven 2, 3 and 4 but not 1. Telling people or putting it on the box would probably help.
(I know they have only light narrative relation but I still wanted to play them in order once I found out they're a series.)

Putting up cabinets when you live alone and are a huge nerd: stack frames, counterweight the overhanging section with your gaming rig's 240V step up transformer, and measure the level with a graph of your phone's raw gyro sensor output.

Accidentally put a network drop where two cabinets will meet. Do I do drywalling and painting to move it a few inches, mill out the load bearing spines of cabinets to accommodate it, or just have the cabinets not be centered on the wall (the obvious and practical fix that will drive me insane)?

Forcing myself to game and eat and rest without guilt today, so that I at least feel that Christmas occurred. Ain't quite the same when you live alone and your family's 7000km away.

There's something deeply ironic about starting Cyberpunk 2077 and going through a launcher, then an EULA, then data sharing settings before you can get to the game.

Today in "GitHub Under Microsoft is Not Fit for Purpose", the "is:archived" option in GitHub Search works correctly when searching for code, but has inverted behaviour when searching for repositories - the things being archived.
It has apparently been this way for at least 2 years.

Stack Overflow still using their blog to relentlessly push AI.
AI is still banned from Stack Overflow, BTW. They don't want their inputs polluted, they only want to sell the output of the actual humans they're ripping off.
Cunts.

If Trump wants a ship with his name and hilariously slimmed down artwork of himself on it, can't he just ask a middle eastern oil producer to buy him one? Demand one as tribute from Venezuela? Seems to be how America the Unmasked does things.

Cave Shooter ports are so frustrating. Mushihimesama is on Steam, Espgaluda II is not even though it's on Switch right next to Mushihimesama. Espgaluda 1? Fuck you, import a PS2 copy. Guwange is on 360 in the west though, but only digitally, unlike Deathsmiles which is hard-copy.

Got lucky, found a 144Hz IPS monitor in a thrift store last week, so I upgraded my portrait secondary monitor to the same frame rate as my main gaming monitor. Mmmmmmmmmmm got rid of all the annoying left-to-right update lag, it's so nice.
Time to get my arcade stick out and play some shmups :-D

It's honestly amazing how many shmup PC ports don't support vertical monitors properly. Like....that's your whole thing.
Feels like more of them support it on Switch, which is bonkers.

Started The Witness as my new lunch game, expecting a bunch of line puzzles, only to get into it and find out that most of the puzzles don't require logic at all. You are forced to wander around them in circles until you find the magic spot that gives you the answer.

Look, I get it: you're an average BC driver and you don't believe in maintenance. Your tyres, brakes and wipers are shit, and you're still surprised every time it rains in Vancouver. You want to trundle home at 50. Safe. Commendable, even.
But if you could do that OUTSIDE THE OVERTAKING LANE...

Really not a fan of the latest mental health symptom my body has developed this year. Any time I have anything important going on the next day, the fucker refuses to sleep, even for a single minute. Blatant bit of self-destruction from my subconscious, no idea how to combat it.
