Past 30 years: VIDEO GAMES ARE THE DEVIL!

Now: DIE FOR YOUR COUNTRY!

On the bright side hospital and airline computers don’t have GTA installed on them

Are you sure?

Mostly that I’m bad at it and can see my imminent death coming 5 to 10 second before it actually happens.

Rain World is the most awesome and frustrating game I have ever played. I’m glad it’s still getting support.

Yay, ageism!

TikTok users are pretty evenly spread from age 10 to 50.

Thanks, the vinyl is a little fiddly to work with but it’s worth the work for one off pieces.

Oof, so the price has gone up but this is what I am using: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001CJIHFI

Along with this grit: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08KHLW2DJ

Does an old work sock count as a filter? I could use the gasoline though…

Oops, replied to the wrong comment, in actual answer to your question:

I’m using a Cricut vinyl cutter but would never recommend one to anyone, their locked down cloud app is terrible. After I get a stencil cut I stick it down and then mask off the entire rest of the glass with tape. For a blaster I am using a tiny one that looks like an airbrush, it was ~$100CAD on Amazon. I use a pair of old socks as gloves in the side of a big clear plastic tub they keep the grit inside and let the air out! And that’s about it, I just blast all the exposed glass until it is frosted, I don’t think you can ever blow right through but if I hit one spot for too long there is a step in the glass at the edge of the pattern.

That’s a good point, probably made of cadnium glass.

Valve has been the least shit player in the game distribution ecosystem for decades. Maybe they could lower their cut but the push for Linux compatibility is worth any premium they want to charge.

In 7 and 8 I really liked the Gnome-like ability to just type the first few letters of a program and hit enter. OpenShell looks like I’m not the only one.

It’s the combination of suing for sales that do not exist because they choose not to make those sales. I can’t type it any slower, man.

Nintendo shouldn’t be allowed to litigate against people they accuse of cutting into sales of not-for-sale games. They know there is a demand for their old catalog but do not release it for sale, forcing a market for piracy.

Nintendo has hundred of games that people are willing to pay massively inflated prices to play, but Nintendo would rather sue emulation projects.

Stop it, just stop. Its been too long to get my hopes up again.

Ooo, tough call. I guess EA should be in there too.

Emulation is not a crime. Refusing to re-release existing games should be.

No company hates its fan base more than Nintendo.

I had a similar problem with an NUC where the install would work but was unbootable after. In my case the USB showed up as both a BIOS and UEFI boot device and the mobo was picking the legacy mode. This made the install a legacy boot install which was not bootable.

To fix it I had to manually choose to boot the install USB’s UEFI mode.
