Hot take - everyone is hitting on nostalgia, but personally I think there’s more to it than just that.

Low-res games invite the player to use their imagination, something that gets lost in the pursuit of hyper-realism.

Unlike most modern AAA games, games like Stardew Valley, Minecraft, or BOTW/TOTK invite the player to use their creativity - not just in problem solving, but also in how they view the world.

This was just an inherent feature of older games, due to the limitations of technology, but now it’s a luxury in a world that’s increasingly trying to script or control how you think and interact at every turn.

Revisiting it on my Switch and literally just played that level today - masterful timing.

With 99+% of hashes matching?

Whatever the issue, theres good odds that the pieces with matching hashes are perfectly fine and the <1% of pieces with errors OPs bittorrent client can and did replace, so now the files are identical to source and good to go!

(I get that corporate environments are often off the table for this).

FYI in case anyone needs to hear this, but Firefox can be installed as a user in windows if you just decline the admin prompt when installing.

If you checked the torrent file and it’s showing 99+% that means you almost certainly have the right file but some minute piece of metadata is off. Good news is now you only have to snag ~1% of that file from the seeders that pop in an out and you’ll be set.

Had rats getting into the crawl space under our house. Was losing that battle until I swapped to chemical warfare - specifically a 5lb supply of cayenne pepper from a big online retailer. That and a leafblower and I hope the owls enjoy their dinner with a little Cajun flare. Have not had a problem since (also can’t go in the crawl space anymore, because, reasons).

Who the fuck doesn’t like NPR?

Absolute code amateur here, but my guess is “generic headers” are just a copy/paste job from another program (or vibe code), and declare a bunch of really common functions that never actually get utilized in the code.

Sorta like copying the same import statements in Python, whether you’re using numpy or not

All fun and games until you’re trying to remember the name of “the kid who played Short Round in Temple of Doom” and next thing you know Chris Hansen is knocking on your door.

Ahh perfect, I smell a business opportunity for you! Since search is cheap, make your own search engine and only charge $90/year!

Story of Infinite was fine but the gameplay was very repetitive and far too linear for my personal taste.

Had one play through, and baaarely made it to the end - glad I did but it was rough going there for the 1000000000th “Booker, catch!”

Kagi allows you to toggle AI result summaries in your settings, alongside a million other things, like down ranking sites that tend to come with slop and removing the vast majority of AI images from image search results (unless you want that of course, because Kagi is designed around user preference, not advertisers)

My workplace learned about split tunneling when COVID hit and suddenly everyone was working from home and doing data intensive Zoom calls via the VPN, just about everything locked up.

What I’m saying is it can also by used to preserve VPN bandwidth for the applications you want/need to have using it.

Looks like exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for - a clean and easy to use SSH manager!

One question: how are SSH credentials stored? Is there any option for password protection?

And one feature request: as a long time MobaXterm user on Windows, one feature I’ve yet to see in a Linux SSH utility is the “multi-execution” mode which let’s you send commands to multiple terminals at once.

Pizza’s core implementation is in C though. It’s just a fancy way to call C libraries.

Today I learned pepperoni is a C library.

Tell me more about these cow orks.

My understanding with processed food is that the main problem is much much less about how “healthy” the artificial ingredients are, and more about how the processing is usually designed around making the food more addictive (so you, say, crave a Cheeto more than you crave a carrot), and as a byproduct of the former, making it more calorie-dense, so you can consume more calories before you start to feel full.

Ahh yes, the classic tiger meal - euthanized Yorkshire terrier.

Nope. Disney.
