I dunno ask the liberals who fight leftists more then Republicans ;)

Not supporting Dems in 20xx is, was, and will be letting it catch on fire again.

Iirc Newgrounds did something like that because they had accounts that are well over 21 years old.

After a while, you think "why does this keep happening?" You look into it and find out the wiring in the bathroom is faulty of course.

You start saying we gotta fix that bathroom.
But the next person replies "What are you talking about!? The house is on fire! That the important thing!"

I recently heard someone put it like this:
Leftists want to fix the bathroom.
Liberals say "What are you talking about!? The house is on fire! That the important thing!

So they do, and after out, its business as usual...
2 weeks later a fire breaks again.
This keeps happening, over and over. 1/2

(X) Doubt.
The most I could believe is a AI agent has the ability to read files/directories. Someone didn't set permissions correctly on a new file/directory, so the AI agent could be used to inadvertently leak the contents of those files.

Of course its also likely to "hallucinate" details so.

Well, good thing we didn’t silo off a bunch of important game knowledge in individual discords instead of forums or wikis or gamefaqs for some reason

Yep this.
HDR isn't one thing, there are multiple standards, and multiple factors within those standards. Like how many dimming zones there are on an LCD.

Unfortunately a lot of screens that really have no business attempting HDR, get it tacked on anyways so it says "HDR!" on the box. 🫀

They knew not to make one. Else everyone would ask their local Elliot to cook hundreds of 'Warm Egg Soups', creating another egg shortage.

$70 - per year.
Oh it gets weirder. Going on the Wayback machine every other month the price changes dramatically, at one point you could buy a lifetime license for $199 or subscribe for $19 a month.

Page source of 1harmeachday' website.
The code shows it reads the current date and applies "Plucked out a hair on my head." to today, "Told myself I was worth nothing" to yesterday and so forth.

Hate to break this but...
No the page source shows it always shows the current date.

Uuuugh. I feel that.
If a machine said "VHS" it was generally meant to do something other then Play and Record tapes. (VHS Rewinder)
And even then people colloquially would just use the word "Tape" instead.

I remember daily checking the shipping of my laptop years ago. It went from China, to California, detoured to Japan, then to Eastern Canada, then iirc to Florida? before it finally started making sense and coming towards me.

I have a screenshot (somewhere) of the tracking info it was so crazy.

Yeah.... that is one option.
The back panel audio happily works, but has this weird popping after being silent for like 20 seconds and when audio comes back.
Not sure if thats -12V related or some annoying power saving feature I dont know how to turn off.

Front panel audio and CORSAIR PSU issues explained There's a small chance you might be having issues with your front panel audio, and it might be related to the now-endangered -12V rail.

Its not mentioned anywhere on the corsair product page as far as I can see.
Only found out after digging for a but and finally finding this; www.corsair.com/us/en/explor...

Well fuck me.
So I found out the problem with my PC was the PSU. - It was still under warranty!
Corsair sent me a updated one and...

Audio is messing up, and thats when I learned Corsair PSUs no longer have a -12V rail.
Apparently ASUS Mobos used to use that for their audio amplifiers.

Are Bsky posts scraped by Google?
Cause first thought was: They want to use twitter, they want when you google their quote twitter comes up.

Month later, problem came back up.
Always happened when loading into a game like FFXIV or Vintage Story...

Oh a whim I swapped to a backup PSU that doesn't fit into my case, and is a lower Wattage.
... Problem goes away.

Well then. (wonder if warranty will apply >_> )

I didn't say the ROM, I said system memory.

Most games load only the parts of the Game's map immediately around the player. Hence why if you scroll to far away, NPCS respawn/reset.

DS1 however since you can alter the map by pushing blocks, placing objects, exc must remain in memory at all times.

Screenshot of the Gameboy version of "Dragon Slayer 1", featuring the player in combat with a Skeleton.

The elusive Level 2 map of Dragon Slayer 1,
Black pixels indicate "Rocks" that can be pushed Sokuban style if a player is holding a ring.
Dark green pixels indicate some kind of item. (Chests, Coins, Potions, Crystals, exc exc)

The map features a large maze on top. An open field with spread out items spelling out one of the developer's name (Jun) in the middle.
And a "Treasure Room" on the bottom with items making pixel art, and spelling another developer'd name (Torajima).

The levels for Dragon Slayer 1 on the Gameboy are 80x100 tiles, and uses *half* of the systems memory.

Oh and the map is technically screw shaped? If one were to walk East 80 tiles, rather then looping back to the starting position, you will end up 1 tile south of it. (Hence screw shaped)
