I Am Mother (2019) — 8/10

I went into this not knowing anything about it, and was surprised not just that it was good, but also to find a familiar face that we don’t see nearly enough.

I intend to replace my printer’s hot end with a simpler one and this is the dream of dual-filament printing that I have to give up on so that I’m able print anything at all

Lately the Pokemon Go gym accessible from my couch is never the right color and that’s sucking 80% of the fun out. What a crazy way to design a game.

Unclogging a regular 3D printer: unscrew the nozzle and scrape the inside of the tube.

Unclogging my stupid dual-extruder printer: haha nope — I mean, you could fill it with acetone then wait a few months to make sure there isn’t any left when you plug it back in, good luck!

# 2019/07/13 - 16:08 — publié d'abord sur @ff00aa

Buying a 3D printer was a bad idea and getting a cheap dual-filament model was the worst idea. I could have saved money and so much time and energy going to a makerspace instead.

On the other hand I didn’t expect Mudrunner would be much better with a steering wheel, but exploring a hilltop in an F150 with each bump coming through force feedback feels amazing.

Now that I’ve got enough space in my living-room I finally got around to try Wreckfest with a steering wheel. Force feedback seems pretty good; shame that the cockpit and hood views are almost useless for the lack of rear-view mirrors.

I thought the Switch Lite would still have video-out, but that was silly — of course they need a reason for the $300 model to keep existing. Not that I intended to ever plug it into my TV when I buy one.

I started playing Torn and closed it in horror after two minutes. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to record an inner monologue for a first-person VR experience? That stuff’s already immersion-breaking enough in flat-screen games — it’s outright sabotage in VR.

Apple talks a lot about services being the future of the company, but then they pull shit like this and it makes me wonder if they have any clue that the most important part of a data service is protecting its contents.

# 2019/07/09 - 21:43

@chockenberry:

Here’s something simple that Apple could do to focus adoption on people who really need it: remove some popular Emoji in the beta. It would have minimal impact on testing, but normal folks would say “no way!”

They use Emoji to drive adoption: they could use it to throttle, too.

Ceux qui croient en l’existence d’une minorité homosexuelle depuis la nuit des temps tentent surtout de se persuader que l’Ordre Hétérosexuel existera pour toujours, ce qui est un piège tendu à celleux pour qui l’horizon politique est d’abolir la domination patriarcale.

# 2019/07/08 - 15:05

@MarguerinLDN:

On devrait se méfier de ce genre de discours. Plutôt que de dire que les “LGBT” ont “de tout temps” existé, on ferait mieux de rappeler que c’est bien le système homo/hétéro, à travers lequel nous vivons notre “sexualité”, qui n’a pas toujours existé. Son emprise est récente. [twitter.com]

The buzz I’ve seen on Eastshade was mostly “a walking simulator with painting” but that doesn’t do it justice at all. They clearly set out to do an indie-sized Elder Scrolls-without-combat and I think they very much achieve that. Lovely world with unexpectedly well-written quests and dialogue.
