That’s just a whimsical interpretation. If Nier hadn’t existed, he would have chosen another game he liked. Nier wasn’t his main motivation, just a guinea pig.

Best of all (for him) is that he can run for president in the future and potentially rule for two more terms.

You should get that checked

When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.

Worst answer to “Is that a roll of coins in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?”

Thank you too, Docker pants.

That sound was the best part of connecting to the internet, like a liminal space

I swear the faster modems also made a bell-like “clong” sound

You were working with computers since before smartphones existed, that’s a pass of course.

My litmus test is: “Have you tried Linux?”

Even if they just used a live cd for curiosity, it means they know enough about computers to grasp the concepts that make them versatile, and were exploring around the net enough to read about it.

If there’s a secretary bird today, who knows what was their highest position then?

There even was a Tyrannosaurus Rex, that means they had at least one monarchy!

Dinosaurs had a stagnant civilization that needed external aid to destroy itself. We need no stinking asteroid for that!

It seems both suck at handling our Bluetooth headphones.

Well, I have this weird issue when playing Fallout 76 through Steam on Ubuntu 24.04.

If I use my Bluetooth headphones to play, journalctl shows periodic streams of pipewire errors (not near my laptop or I would paste the errors), and after one or two hours audio will become silent. I can recover stopping the game, reconnecting the headphones, and starting the game.

It seems like a problem with the game, as other games, including the other Fallouts, work flawlessly. Still shouldn’t overwhelm pipewire IMO.

TBH the last audio quirk I had on Linux was two years ago, it wouldn’t remember the volume of my headphones, and it was solved on its own after an update.

It’s more of a predictive keyboard on steroids.

“Actually, I want to own it”

That system raised the majority of Chinese from extreme poverty to middle class, right after the atrocious Cultural Revolution. That was a good thing.

The latent risk that the next _dictator PM undoes that is a very bad thing, though.
