Transit guy says: YOU CAN'T SKIP RELEASE 11B OF SC2KFIX! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!
This is a *critical* patch release that fixes several major gameplay bugs and adds a greater variety of terrain and QOL features to the New City screen. github.com/sc2kfix/sc2k...#retrogaming#SimCity#sc2k#sims#maxis
My son was suspended from school for giving another student a "pigjob" and now we're all sitting around the empty dinner table as a family with our palms flat on the surface staring at nothing in particular in silence. It is understood none of us will ever ask what the word means.
i was a lot more depressed when I was doing a mix of C#/WinForms front-end shit and back-end C++ stuff for Freelancer but at least we just used a dogshit SVN server at the time and I could clobber other peoples work and tell them to fix it themselves. Now I'm clobbering my own crap and crying
In short, vote for me, and in my benevolent reign over the planet I will outlaw all computers more powerful than a PDP-11/70 and connectivity faster than 64 kbps
I've been maintaining two branches for sc2kfix: main, which is the Release 12 development tree, and r11_patches, which is self-explanatory. but now I'm realizing Release 12 is slowly being folded into The Successor Project and so I should just rebase r11_patches off the current main branch... but no
I've done so much weird cherry-picking from main to r11_patches that r11_patches is so massively disjointed in the git history that Visual Studio is looking at the rebase and going "OH HELL NO" which makes me also go "OH HELL NO" because I just wish I could go back to writing C# and WinForms
the Cisco AGS is 40 years old this year, which marks 40 years of absolute terror in the hearts of network administrators experiencing their terminals freezing and/or echoing "connection reset by peer" after entering a configuration command
the default key to use the light augmentation in deus ex is f12 which is also the stream screenshot key. so here's all of the times i used the flashlight in my last playthrough of deus ex
i had to turn my phone SIDEWAYS to get the whole dome in frame. thought i was lookin at an upholstered bowling ball for several moments. visible from space ass cat
i have a theory that the moment you've truly become an oldhead at a job is when you see something wack and go "what dipshit did this this way" and the answer is "yourself, 5+ years ago"
there is a UPS at work that is stuck in a self-test loop and emailing me twice every three hours and despite being on vacation this week I'm half tempted to log into the VPN and take myself off the UPS notification mailing list
oh sweet fucky jesus the reason my proxmox backups have been intermittently failing for the past month is because I put the same IP on two machines that only very occasionally talk to each other through a DAC
I am a network engineer in my professional life
someone please hit me with a baseball bat
me, for weeks: "man maybe NFS on proxmox just sucks somehow, I can't even reliably remount these shares"
me, this evening: "hey wait a minute why do both these machines have 192.168.255.1 assigned on bridge1"
to complicate matters the "NAS" is actually a VM on .10 on bridge1 of one of the hosts so backups from that host would work fine... unless the two tried to do a backup at the same time.
clearly the solution to this problem is to cobble together more load-bearing PCs in my 600 sqft apartment
Happy birthday, Sci-fi Queen. 🥳

it is wild how bluesky has like. a whole staff of lowtaxes. like they're all lowtaxing in their own ways. they're spending 0.5-2m a year, conservatively, on lowtax payroll

Last month we passed a milestone without my realizing: I have now done over ONE THOUSAND STRIPS since I took over FLASH GORDON in 2023. I cannot thank you all enough for reading, discussing, and sharing the comic these past few years. Truly the best gig I've ever had. Much, much more to come ⚡
My favorite Mr. Beast moment was when he got punched in the stomach by Mike Tyson and for the briefest of moments, Jimmy Donaldson's lazy grin was replaced with an expression of animalistic fear. For an almost imperceptible window, there were no metricd or merch opportunities, only flesh and pain
Not joking: I think this is a legitimate form of living history for online games. It's like an old-timey pioneer town where people pretend to be blacksmiths. This is a more accurate way to experience what WOW was like 20 years ago than being in an empty server
Hopefully wrapping up FFXIV's 2.0 MSQ today, and we're kicking things off with the truest form of the adventuring spirit: breaking our friends out of jail twitch.tv/shinkazevt
Doing some stuff with family this afternoon, stream will be in the evening (skipping Freelancer, going to see if we can bang out the rest of ARR 2.0 in one go instead)
Hotfix 2 for sc2kfix Release 11a has been released. This hotfix fixes a significant display bug in rendering currency strings. Please revisit the release page and download Hotfix 2 at your earliest convenience. Sorry.
I understand completely why Maxis didn't ever create another newspaper system as complex as SimCity 2000's, but god damn if they didn't knock it out the park writing a system to generate the most Onion-style articles possible.
Stream schedule for this weekend/next week! Moved a few things around to fit around work a bit better -- Sunday and Tuesday didn't work out for me nearly as well as I wanted so we're going to try for Monday and Wednesday instead.
