As one-hit wonderland would call it, "the failed follow-up" to Torn. Smoke's a great song too, a lot of similar vibes, not as good of a hook though. I'm astounded to see that she's still active in music, I'll have to check out some of her recent stuff!

I like how I know this story didn't happen anywhere close to me since: no one calls them "cycle paths", we hardly have any "bike lanes" anyway, and we definitely don't have any trains to ride while discussing biking.

Now, if this had been a story about guns, trucks, and psychopaths, it would have been very relatable.

The book is very good! I happened to catch wind of it right after it came out. Its a great mix of Visitor's personal experiences in TV, and her research and interviews with many women who've worked in Trek over the years. She writes well and the stories are both personal and educational about the history of the show and the medium.

I wanted to take a moment to thank @jet@hackertalks.com for the multiplayer server they set up! Tomorrow is the last day for it, and I thought I'd share some screenshots!

@badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev and myself managed to meet up online a few times and had a blast building up the factory! We got half-way into Tier 4, unlocked a lot of goodies in the MAM and the ticket booth! A few more days and we'd get to phase 3!

Sorry I never ran into you Jet, but if you decided to keep the server up for a little longer, I wouldn't complain. I'd pitch in some monetary support as well.

Anyway, here's some of the fun we had!

BadCodeCat glides over the moon.

The parking lot at night (yes, we unlocked the cybertruck, even parked it correctly!)

Close up of the skate park (for doing sick flips in the cart!) Back-to-the-Future-style hoverboards when, Coffee Stain?!

I rode the freighter up to get a high overhead view of things!

A final shot of the factory at night.

This was my first Satisfactory multiplayer experience (and kind of my first factory game MP at all!) and it was a great time! Thanks again for setting it up Jet, hope to catch you online some other time! And thanks to BadCodeCat for being an awesome Pioneer to work with (and taking many of these lovely picture!)

Someone posted an Evangelion joke elsewhere that reminded me of the incredible Propane Genesis Evengelion.

I was rewatching that when I ran across this brilliant parody in the same vein. There's a sequel for the closing theme as well.

I was scouting a high place to set up a radar when I noticed this great view! Couldn't quite get everything in (there's another factory off to the left, and my main/initial layout is directly under me, as evidenced by the space elevator) but I liked how my little empire looks, pockets of industry in a wild world.

I like also the evolution of my factory building as I unlocked parts and started to care more. From naked buildings on platforms at the far right (and below) to a roofless but walled factory in the distance, and then my most recent building in the mid-right distance. The only one so far with walls, floors, AND a frickin' ROOF! It's even got lights and windows! Yeah, we get a little fancy sometimes, haha.

How's your factory/empire looking?

From their 2003 debut album, Fire, which it pretty much is all the way through. I remember this song exists about once a year and binge it for a day.

Without the context that his job (from previous comics) is to put a gun to your head for help making decisions, this is basically nonsense. Fantastic beautiful nonsense.

Foster the People has a new album out, pretty good! Torches, their debut, is one of my favs, and I've enjoyed some of their later work too. This one definitely sounds like FtP, though I think there's a little more brass and other jazzy sounds being pulled in. I haven't listened enough to have any album picks yet.

Have you listened yet? What tracks did you like best? What's your favorite FtP song?

Remember when Humble Bundle was actually a charity and not just a charity-themed storefront owned by IGN?

Well, technically owned by IGN, a subsidiary of Ziff-Davis, formerly J2 Global, formerly Ziff-Davis.

I'm sure firing what was left of the employees with any commitment to the concept of HB and folding the brand under the rest of your e-commerce verticle will have no further adverse effects on the quality or usability of HB as a service.

Thankfully, it's not the commentary I was afraid he'd offered. JB sounds spineless in this, it was a joke and an honest expression of the very real existential fear people feel towards Trump rule.

I fucking hate this. Trump gets on mic everyday to wish death on some innocent groups of people but we're fucking forbidden from joking about it towards him?

Edit: I hope everyone who downvotes me gets very peacefully and nonviolently re-educated.

I've gotten back into tinkering on a little Rust game project, it has about a dozen dependencies on various math and gamedev libraries. When I go to build (just like with npm in my JavaScript projects) cargo needs to download and build just over 200 projects. 3 of them build and run "install scripts" which are just also rust programs. I know this because my anti-virus flagged each of them and I had to allow them through so my little roguelike would build.

Like, what are we even suppose to tell "normal people" about security? "Yeah, don't download files from people you don't trust and never run executables from the web. How do I install this programming utility? Blindly run code from over 300 people and hope none of them wanted to sneak something malicious in there."

I don't want to go back to the days of hand chisling every routine into bare silicon by hand, but i feel l like there must be a better system we just haven't devised yet.

I take the square root of the negative trolley, then use my imaginary streetcar to establish a complex track so I can start killing in an additional dimension.

I "joke" all the time that the CIA ended their mind control programs because they succeeded and moved all if it into the private sector in advertising.

POS I find very funny as I'm often working on Point-of-Sale equipment, and most of it is running Poorly Optimized Software, making the whole thing a Piece of Shit for the users.

Just recently, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said he hopes Starfield will be a 12-year hit, just like Skyrim.

Yeah no fucking shit Phil, the fans would have loved a generation-defining megahit as well! Maybe you should have told Todd to try making the game good as well as marketable?
