Netflix in talks with Metallica about how to best protect its brand after threatening to sue customers and whine about not getting enough money.

"We've tried doubling the price, that should've done it but these stupid people keep paying! Then we added advertisements, and now we've got to figure out how to make sure everyone jealously protects their password like Gollum protects the one ring!" Netflix said in a statement

Made it further down the island. Sleeping only works for 1 hour before an "enemy arrives", but a few steps and the enemy is no longer in range, so I don't know where they're spawning. Found this gap in the gaps, so presumably you could swim to the island from here.

This didn't quite seem right, so I ended up doing some console stuff and ended up on the island proper, but I don't know if this is the wrong island (it shouldn't be, the map seems to suggest it's the right one) or if it's just degraded because I walked from Sentinel.

There was one landmark I could count on, there's a big rock formation near the western edge of the island. Can't miss it, and the likelihood of two different islands having the same strange rock formation on the exact spot doesn't make any sense.

So there we go, I did make it to the island. It was basically uninhabited except for a standard dungeon I didn't talk much about because it was after the console shenanigans, but it seems the most interesting things about the island were because the game never really expected anyone to take hours going over the ocean from the south to see this little place.

No, that was arena. Daggerfall does have a map. It was procedurally generated at Bethesda when they were making it, but it's all in the game. Copy that I'm using even adds a bunch of stuff like roads and different encounters so there's a benefit to walking between cities yourself instead of fast traveling.

Daggerfall unity. Gog has a copy for free packed with a bunch of mods that make it look and play well in a modern sense, and it's still one of the biggest games of all time.

There's an island in the game Daggerfall that's just north of Sentinel that's always bugged me. There was nothing on there, but it was considered its own region, so what's there?

Well, now with Daggerfall Unity I flew there, and I'm not sure anyone was supposed to make it here... Pretty sure that's a massive fall into the void if you walk off.

Once I made it over the void, the trees are all.... ghost trees? They're all transparent for some reason. I tried to go to sleep to spawn an enemy, and apparently it spawned but I can't see it anywhere. I walked to the other side of the island and suddenly there was nothing again, just the void. I flew to the top of a big rock and it looks like the trees are transparent on a gradient. The further south the trees, the less transparent they are.

If I see anything else interesting I'll post a reply.

I put my instance on fediblock because the sort of people who would mindlessly use that list are worth being blocked by.

"oh god, imagine cleaning my house!"

"who farted?"

Thankfully my grandfather's story was passed down through the generations, and made it into my book to my son.

Imagine the trauma of not only watching your best friend die right in front of you while you were walking down the street, but watching moment by moment as the free country you fought for melted away one hour at a time.

On November 11th when we're asked to remember, I do remember, and it makes me mad as hell that we betrayed them like that.

This is what our ancestors who fought feel about the world their kids made.

Epic cope. I don't know why they don't just go back to Facebook and Twitter where their masters will silence any dissent for them.

Yes, even Twitter even now.

It seems to me that there's actually a point of diminishing returns when it comes to bandwidth. For most end-users, they might never even notice the difference between 50mbps and 500mbps and 5,000mbps. Especially since most websites don't serve that fast to individual users.

I think there is an argument to be made for opposing russia, but it also seems very clear to me that the West thought that they could just bully Russia into submission on the tail of bullying the entire world into submission during covid. It was a decadent plan divorced from reality. A massive and resource-rich country ready to go to shooting war is not the same as a bunch of truckers peacefully protesting government policy.

Krypon fusion paint is great for stuff like that. You need a tech who is good enough to take the machine apart so you can spray the parts without the parts getting covered, but it has a great finish on plastics. I've used it on both laptops and desktops, and been really happy with the results.

Lots of people have lots of plans, but only a few of those people actually make those plans happen. History is made by the latter group, no matter how much better the plans of the former.

So they refuse to prosecute people who actually steal things every single day from brick and mortar stores, but they'll pass an impotent law like this to "do something"

Just an embarrassment. Imagine being a US lawmaker and actually backing this.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance in New York looks like.

You have to remember that when the media and the state work to make people terrified of something that isn't dangerous to most individuals, a lot of people end up terrified forever. There's probably still people scared to fly on planes thanks to the scaremongering over 9/11.

When I say "with", I mean sticking with his content assuming it'll get funny again at some point.
