I noticed that, too

A friend of mine had this (same friend who introduced me to the Tex Murphy series). It was fun to dink around in.

This has been in my "I'll get around to it eventually" pile for yeeeaaars

Oh, for sure. This isn't a "he did a good thing", just "he did a thing of significance".

Celebrating the death knell of the AI bubble (Thiel completely divesting from NVIDIA)?

What a sweet baby!

I remember seeing a birth announcement in the paper when I was a kid that looked almost like a faceroll. Apostrophes and random capitalizations scattered.

My second NAS was a gift from my mom, which is half the reason I named it STORGE, the philosophical concept of familial love. The other half of the reason is it just looks like I misspelled "storage"

I always overthink my device names. My first NAS, the brand is Buffalo, which made me think of that "Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo...etc" sentence, which in turn made me think of the "shi shi shi shi shi shi shi" Chinese poem, Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den. So its name is STONEDEN.

I'm sure you'll be shedding light on it, but as someone who nearly fell down that rabbit hole in his teens, I can't even begin to imagine how one could succumb to it *while in a relationship*.

saaaaame 😭

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

This -- it wasn't really until the advent of widespread artificial light (gaslights in cities first, then electric everywhere later) that that pattern started to get broken.

Have you played Sunless Sea?

I'm too online...it took a couple seconds before I realized "SA" meant South Africa, not SomethingAwful. 🤦‍♂️

Okay, so does nobody know how to slide, or is this particular slide actually that fucked up?
