There are tons of utils to customize the MacOS UI, including lots of open-source ones and some that kick ass off anything on Linux or Windows. Anyone saying that MacOS can’t be customized, has never used MacOS.

How do I block PizzaCake comics from appearing in my feed? I don’t need any more basic USian political whining than I already get.

My former boss had trouble buying beer sometimes because he’s short and thin and made the mistake of going with another coworker who permanently looks under eighteen years old. He said he ain’t making that mistake again.

Meanwhile, during covid, my method of verifying the age was pulling the mask down.

We also got thoroughly blazed all together at multiple times, locations, and various configurations of other coworkers and drugs of choice. We were in programming.

you’re talking about Dawkins or the person I was conversing with

The commenter.

The difference between you and them is they’re saying it doesn’t matter whether Jesus or God actually physically ever existed and actually did what’s ascribed to them — but, if people believe that they do or did then Jesus and God effectively exist(ed) as far as people can tell. It’s kind of a variation on solipsism where the noosphere dictates the effective perceived reality instead of any one individual mind.

As I mentioned, you can catch a further glimpse of their peculiar worldview if you peruse their previous comments, but this particular take here is probably the most comprehensible I’ve seen from them so far.

That guy is pretty much Baudrillarding that people live in the world created by media — including folk communication like memes in this case — so if this collective consciousness says something is true, it might as well be.

(You might want to tag the user, as they regularly say pretty weird stuff, this one is rather mild for them. Or don’t and let yourself be surprised.)

‘Fallout’ isn’t just ‘derived from’, it’s a direct descendant of ‘Wasteland’, with some of the same people involved: Brian Fargo was the director on the original ‘Wasteland’, then founded Interplay aka the developer/publisher of ‘Fallout’ 1-2, and shortly thereafter inXile Entertainment that later developed ‘Wasteland’ 2 and 3.

Also, some of the folks who developed ‘Fallout’ made ‘Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura’, which is basically fantasy ‘Fallout’ — by folks of Troika Games who previously developed ‘Fallout’, and later ‘Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines’.

Judging by other comments, they are indeed randomly generated, but that doesn’t make them good:

That’s the worst part. All of those randomly generated filler quests that send you back to a location you’ve cleared twice before to kill the same named raider npc are at the very core of what is wrong with Fallout 4.

Hate to break it to you, but trains are in fact amazing for intercity freight. They’re not for the last mile, of course, but trucking or airlifting your Amazon shit into your city is plain dumb.

Broken arms eh.

Check this out: Children’s railway.

There’s also a long-running series of train simulator games, of Japanese origin, that had specially produced controllers for PlayStation 2.

Just like Japan has the ‘Air Traffic Controller’ series, when Western titles seem to have ended in the nineties.

jumped a curb

I mean, they do that sometimes. Particularly in countries with poorly maintained tracks.

I guess then that they just block popular third-party VPN services. Still not sure why, though, if it’s not mandated by law.

There were actually multiple action-adventure beat-em-up games in the MK series. Namely ‘Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero’, ‘Mortal Kombat: Special Forces’, and ‘Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks’. The last one of these is for PS2/Xbox. All three received pretty poor reviews.

Plus there was ‘Mortal Kombat: Onslaught’ for phones in 2023, but it seems to have required multiplayer, and has already been shutdown.

could have been a cool turn based JPRG

Yall know that ‘Fallout’ was originally turn-based? No need for anything Japanese in there, the RPG system was pretty good.

The nineties had some cool turn-based tactics games, like the ‘Jagged Alliance’ series, ‘X-Com’, ‘Incubation’. Even realtime tactics were very nice in the isometric view, e.g. in ‘Commandos’. Now that everything needs to be in either first-person or third-person from behind, such games rarely pop up.

‘Critical Depth’ is an underwater vehicular shooter for PlayStation 1, with movement in any direction, though still having the up-down axis. Basically underwater ‘Twisted Metal’, from the same studio.

I would not jumper other cars from a battery like this either.

You can hook the batteries of the two cars up and just let the other car charge for like five minutes, this way there’s no current surge and presumably nothing should melt.

Learned this when I ran out of battery in the great outdoors and one car that’s rolled around was a Google Maps camera car. The driver said there’s so much electronics hooked up on his car that letting me start mine off his battery would shut his whole thing down.

After all, his last name literally means ‘Hungarian’, it doesn’t get more sovereign than that. Otherwise it would be like if James USA turned out to be a foreign asset.

At this point I feel like every flavor of everything is salt, vinegar, and a dash of other stuff. Except for sweets… hopefully…

you’re missing green goo

It’s right there in the cup.
