If some motherfucker I was at relative peace with came in and kidnapped my son, the war wouldn't end until that motherfucker's ancient ancestors regretted what that motherfucker did.
I've been playing the new port of The 1995 classic game Terminal Velocity by 3d Realms, called Terminal Velocity: Boosted edition.
It runs at 1080p nicely, and can be controlled with an xbox controller.
Although the setup mentions a 3d card, I don't know what it thinks its doing -- it looks to me like the game is still using software rendering, especially when you get close and the perspective gets all wonky. Also has heavy aliasing, looking like chonky 90s 3d.
The higher resolution dumps the difficulty level through the floor. You can see enemies long before they even start up their AI, so you can pick them all off easily. Also
The game really benefits from the xbox controller. I'm about 2/3 of the way through the game now, and having all the controls close at hand like that really makes it nicer to play compared to the old days with keyboard. I've never made so much progress in the game as I have this time through, and I think the nicer controls have a lot to do with that.
Another subtle but important change is the addition of autosaves. It really saved me after the first boss where I died in the tunnel after the boss but I was able to load the save that dropped right then and finish the level. It's another big difficulty drop, but it's also a modern feature I appreciate.
I'm really enjoying it, but it's a game I always liked but never quite got into. I'm not sure if everyone would feel the same. Regardless, for people with fond memories of Terminal Velocity or that era of gaming, it might be worth the 10 bucks.

I'd pay thousands of dollars for a crispr treatment to flip the mighty mouse gene that makes you stronger, leaner, and live longer.
These policies are ultimately genocidal and suicidal. Stuff like food and heat isn't a luxury, it's required to not die and if these people got their way a lot of people will die lacking food and heat.
But also, the policies aren't real. We stop making things because it takes energy, then get China to do it for us. China(then any other country willing to sell its environment for money) becomes the west's painting of Dorian Gray, taking on the environmental consequences for our consumption while we can walk around looking angelic.

I remember earlier this year when people were pretending climate change in Hawaii and in the Yukon were equivalent and must be equally responsible for both sets of fires.
If it's -40C and you raise the temperature by 1.4C (climate change per century according to their data), it's still really cold. If it's 40C and you raise the temperature by 1.4C really hot just got even hotter.

I want to get something like the Raspberry Pi 400 and hook it right up to the living room TV.

I'd actually accept the idea that Trump isn't a conservative. He's a 90s Democrat. There are countless video examples of him espousing relatively progressive ideas, and relatively few of him really espousing conservative ideas. Even how he actually ran America is pretty liberal. How many Republican presidents would have loaded up lead bullets during the summer of love?
I saw a post of someone saying there was "no evidence" of corruption.
So now we know where all these blind fediversers we're putting content descriptions are, they're Democrats.

I believe it's just the way they call it. My Corolla was part of a recall, they just needed to replace the airbag module. Recalls seem to happen all the time, because it doesn't mean they're taking the cars back forever, just until they fix the thing.
The craziest thing is they seem to think think this is the path to keeping power, but we're seeing an unprecedented swing to the right -- not just in america but around the world because so many experiments have failed so catastrophically.
They push back with the same arguments but after having seen what the consequences of certain policies are the smug sense of superiority isn't fooling anyone anymore. Next year could see a sea change in North American leadership.

One thing people don't realize is how little it takes to be exceptional. Many people are just terrible, so just being ok is exceeding all expectations. Then if you can be ok for a long time then that's like being a rockstar.
For folks without a supercomputer, matrix conduit isn't as shiny as synapse but runs reasonably well on low end hardware. You'll want to keep registrations off by default though because it lacks anything like captchas for it and so you can become a spam hub quickly. :/
Worst case scenario there's at least domain blocking or defederation, and that's assuming threads doesn't do it for us since we're icky wrongthinkers.
