D-4got10-01 said @Demolishun Lucky you.

Mine has died recently.

When I plugged it in to the wall socket, a bit of smoke came out.

Once I opened it up I noticed the tops of two capacitors had a convex shape.

On topic, though: yes - I love the current generation.

/s

Assassin's Creed Valhalla had a day 1 patch of roughly 100 GB, IIRC.

There are many more games like this, sadly.,@Demolishun I'm definitely planning on getting it fixed.

Before I got a chance to unlock my old HDD in preparation for upgrading it, the console developed yet another ailment, though.

I may need to find a service that can fix it, but the console is worth it.,@retoor Now that you mention it, quite possibly what happened there.

Either way, that timestamp made me laugh.

'Here's a message from the past for you'.,As a general rule, whenever I am interested in something && the other person is much better at it, than I am.

One such person is my oldest friend, whom I met at my fist job.

We've been friends for roughly 16 years && I've learned a lot from him.,Some people have a problem w/ listening to reason.

...also seem to be lacking some common sense.,'General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.',@Demolishun In one of my past projects on Android, when you were in the Main Menu && pressed the Back key, the game would ask whether or not you'd like to close it.

Choosing [Yes] would 'close' it...

...in reality, the game would simply minimize.

A blatant lie, to be sure.

IIRC the idea was to have 'quicker' startup of the game.,Cool stats.,Not sure how, because I visit the site very rarely, but somehow I've recently stumbled upon the '@whatever' channel on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/@whatever

They somewhat cover this topic.

...mostly dating-related talks, as far as I've seen - yes, but it is related.

I am not saying that one necessarily has to date to have children, though.

One-night stands can have their consequences.,@retoor You're welcome, have a nice time off away from coding.

Also - yes, having a kid from a one-night stand is fucked up.

Wouldn't want that, personally, therefore I'm not engaging in those.

W/ all the people in the world, however, there are those who are bound to disagree, as is their right.,- 100%'ed Heavy Rain sometime in 2010.

- Detroit Become Human is in my backlog.

- After spending _a lot_ of time playing the Prince Of Persia Warrior Within, I lost the ability to wake up when I'm about to die in my sleep...

...I just rewind the time to moments before my death && continue.,Definitely ! a complete list... would take me too much time to think about it, but:

- Be intelligent.

- Don't do stupid shit. /* Too often. */

- Be self-reliant.

- Don't bother me w/ bullshit.

- Whether it's good or bad news, just be straight w/ me. Never sugarcoat.

- Be truthful.

Bonus:

- Some overlap in interests. /* The more, the better. */,Just leaving a comment to show my appreciation.

All hail king Lothbrok.,Damn, these look amazing.

Props.,Can't remember exactly, as it's been quite a while ago.

It was either any of these, or some combination of:

0. Was frustrated w/ something tech-related.

1. Was looking for new programming-related jokes to fill the void left by devopsreactions.tumblr.com/ , which has been inactive for _some_ time.

2. Was looking for a solution for some problem.

I had been lurking for a month, maybe two before I decided to create an account, as I felt it would be worth it.

Am ! disappointed.,WTF, indeed.,I see something similar in my current company.

At least w/ the leadership.

Personally I don't get it.

If it's needed / beneficial for the job && you don't understand it, don't ask for it to be dumbed down.

_Educate_ yourself!,@Lensflare Very true.

I see the trend of packing things tightly very often in multi-platform games && even in my own project.

'Let's take all of that info && display in on one screen.'

...end result is a lot of very small text that is barely legible.,@lorentz Ditto.

I liked my Firefox w/ the sharp, rectangular tabs more, too.,I'm guessing 'grug' is a reference to this one:

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/...

Went over my head, but I had no problem looking it up.

Sadly, people tent do be too lazy.,@Lensflare Thanks.

Saw that one, too...

1st fucking result on google...

Not sure how I failed to click on it, though.,@Lensflare Depends on the barrel.,Scammer / spammer testing our defenses?,People like mr. smiley make me very nervous.,@Grumm While still probable, less likely.

Yes - fuck this.,@thelevenin By itself - no.

There are certain indicators that tip the scale in the unfavorable direction, though.,Why crawl out, though, when you can:,Fuck.

Definitely !something one wants to hear after such long investment of time.

Hopefully the new project will be interesting / challenging, though.,Some time ago, I was up at night && wanted to check the time.

Saw this thing pictured below.

I found it just as funny as today's date, but that time happens every day, so it's not as grand.,Unfortunately, no.

Back then my PC was pad-less / joystick-less.

Had a C64 && a knockoff Atari 2600 w/ a whopping *1000 games that both had joysticks, though.,\m/,I am reminded of the Internet Of Dongs.
