Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic

Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

APL would like a word, though I imagine ROT13 on APL source code might actually be horrific.

I'm actually pretty opinionated on gamepads.

For most arcade games, fighting games, and most 2D PC games I tend to go with a 6 button Sega style gamepad. The D-pad really lends itself to fluid, rapid movements. I honestly like them so much that I've picked up 6 button ASCII pads for my PS2/PS1 and Dreamcast.

For PC games, Retro-bit makes good ones that are officially licensed by Sega. Their original wireless Saturn pad was my go to for years. They also made an updated version with dual analog sticks and four triggers instead of two, which I quite like. They also make a larger pad based on the original Sega Genesis pad, but it lacks triggers and only has one start button. 8bitdo, which is a fantastic company, also makes a 6 button pad.

For everything else I use a DualShock 5 as long as I'm not using the D-pad much, and an 8bitdo Pro2 if the D-pad matters.

Do they not show this episode on cable anymore?

It would be idiotic too, cause it would only make them mad and make them even more dedicated to tanking the IPO. It would be the absolute worst thing he could do.

That said, buy popcorn futures because I totally expect him to ban the sub, remove the mods, or restrict discussion of the IPO

I don't know, I feel pretty strongly that they're linked. Clearly the cell phone outage caused the solar flares.

Woulda been cooler if they spun up a US government Mastodon instance and made his account there, but this is certainly a step in the right direction

I stopped going when they replaced 90% of the cashiers with self-checkout and the lines tripled in size.

There were times where I spent more time in line than I did shopping there.

Everything that should be an app has become a web page and everything that should be a web page has become an app

My understanding is that it's a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly
