Two lips on my organ? They knew.

Lol, been there. But my former CTO had one that I think takes the cake:
My (now former) CTO showed up to a C-suite/executive meeting shortly after he joined the company and they asked him to sort out the fucking A/V setup (read: projector, computer to put the slideshow on, clicker to advance the slides, hooking it all up, etc). In a hotel conference room that was “bring your own hardware”. With no warning.
And these chucklefucks expect perfection. We must have burned over a million on the executive conference room at our HQ. “The camera that automatically zooms into who is speaking isn’t fast enough at changing targets” type shit.
We’re a company of over 4000 employees. Every single C-suite/executive meeting before then they would book one of the senior members of our in-person internal tech support team for support for that shit, so they should have known better.
It wasn’t some joking hazing thing either. They legitimately just hadn’t fucking planned for how they were going to present their slideshow at this off site location and expected the CTO to just magic it together. Why they needed to do it offsite when they had a fancy ass overly expensive room built for conferences at the HQ? No fucking clue.
The things that come out at tech division happy hours are wild once the higher ups get a few drinks in them.
I’ve had to be very direct with my family that I don’t fix computers (anymore, I used to do remote and hands on helldesk), I fix the deeper kind of stuff that keeps email working for an entire company, or makes sure new hires can log in to work stuff.
But it isn’t a PC with Xbox compat.
It’s just a portable PC with Windows Gamepass and some stuff toggled to make it easier to navigate using a controller.
So it’s been about two and a half years since I’ve played (before my daughter was born), so take this with a grain of salt. I think last big update I experienced was the addition of the Reapers’s equivalent of the Athena’s Fortune faction.
Unless they’ve changed how captained ships work, every time you log in your ship only has a basic set of resources (like 30 wood, 30 canonballs, 15 bananas, something like that). Stocking up from the outpost barrels was an every session start thing. The whole captained ship thing was originally just a way to save your ship cosmetics and adding a bunch of ship specific achievements. Also gave access to a convenient one stop sell location and some “captain” exclusive quests.
Regarding PVP, natural “emergent” PVP has really dried up since they added in the hourglass (dedicated PVP match queuing) and the ability to server hop (lose all your sellable loot and active quest progress, keep the barrelled resources on your ship). So people up for scrapping usually hop servers until they find a popular and lucrative server event happening where there are likely to be other players. There already was the Reaper’s flag and emmisary to imdicate you were up for/looking for PVP too (both make you visible on the map to the whole server). So a lot of players left running around aren’t as bloodthirsty.
Also, unless they changed server limits again, each server has an absolute max of six ships. It’s a big sea for so few ships. Especially when we stayed around The Roar (volcanoey area at the east side of the map) we could go entire sessions without running into other players.
Man, I really hope it’s still around when I have the time to come back to it. Awesome game.
They crawl wikipedia too, and are adding significant extra load on their servers, even though Wikipedia has a regularly updated torrent to download all its content.
I think he must attract a certain amount of viewers from the “train wreck” effect. He literally was using the stench from the sun hitting a decomposing rat corpse in his room as an “alarm clock” for a while. He has had roaches crawl across him live and not reacted.
So I can kind of understand getting some sort of twisted satisfaction that you’re doing better, or having the same sort of fascination people have with train wrecks and disasters.
What I don’t get is why anyone cares about his takes on anything. The man willingly lives in decomposing filth. He’s clearly not a source of knowledge or good opinions on fucking anything.
Most of these trimmed down portable Wiis boot into a homebrew menu as they don’t have the IR lights attached by default (the Wii “sensor” bar which is just two IR lightbulbs), needed to navigate the menu using a Wiimote.
It’s a novelty. Hardware hackers have been making smaller and more portable Wiis for years, finding more parts of the motherboard they can cut off, ways to rearrange mobo parts and reconnect them without impacting functionality, discrete parts they can replace with more modern smaller equivalents, etc.
This represents the smallest they’ve been able to cut down Wii hardware, still have it be functional, and still have the core be the original hardware, not a general use CPU with an emulation solution running over top. It’s not a commercial product meant to compete with emulators on existing portable devices like phones and SBCs.
This is shockingly “public” considering there’s legal proceedings now.
So even this instance of personal responsibility is significantly offset by the actions of a few. I’m all for doing what each of us can, but that’s fucking hilarious.
This is just a blatant grift. The link on how to add links just sends to a ko-fi page where you’re charging money.
And completely ignoring a whole bunch of reasons that “the million dollar webpage” worked that mean that something like this won’t.
Good luck I guess.
There will always be more content than anyone can keep up with in a single lifetime. I’ve long since lost the motivation to race along at the front edge of new shit.
I pick up new artists from shows, movies, youtube videos, and games. I also regularly let youtube music (revanced, so no ads) run past the end of my playlists and suggest new stuff. I used to use Pandora for this as well.
On super rare occasions (been over a year now) I’ll check out you groove you lose threads on 4chan and discover a few more artists.
Yeah. Anthropic regularly releases these stories and they almost always boil down to “When we prompted the AI to be mean, it generated output in line with ‘mean’ responses! Oh my god we’re all doomed!”
Because you can buy other people’s code for cheaper than developing it yourself, as long as you use it within the restrictions of the license you paid for.
What? There’s a big difference between “legal to sell as a compiled binary” and “legal to release as source”.
Since when have rights holders ever been held responsible for the actions of online players?
The only instances I can think of are when games exclusively target minors, like Roblox.
And in what crazy world would those scant responsibilities carry over to community servers after official support was ended?
What a cop out.
There’s a setting in the user profile to block/not block stuff tagged nsfw
Oh, when eleven runs away to the city? It gets even better: none of that shit comes back up again.
But it absolutely does keep leaning into teen romance. I always felt it was a decent show but overrated, and it dropped off hard.
Huh? Investment people definitely didn’t wait for that classification to start turning it into a speculations market. The SEC actions were largely reactive.
My local bank’s investment and wealth management bros were already all about crypto long before regulations.
