par for the course for libertarians.

golly i didn’t realize identity politics had such a large role in console preferences, TIL

ds9 is best trek imo. the double fake identity twist is just silly enough that it somehow feels conceivable, even with the cosmetic surgery angle. i don’t know that i’d take a plot like that seriously in anything other than a star trek story lmao

depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!

hilariously more drugs can also help, heavily depends on your brain and your current relationship with drugs

i learned about crosscode recently, and i could tell from just a few gameplay snippets that it’s a game i’ll spend a lot of time with. at full price it was only $20, and i’m more than happy to support the devs.

their next game, alabaster dawn, looks really nice so far too.

i’m using photogimp and haven’t looked back, it’s surprisingly robust

i was using this russian movie-web host that had an insane amount of non-english content. there were also loads of dubs for almost everything. some english shows would default to spanish or russian, but the original audio was always available too.

everything was so easy, i miss it dearly :c

ps: there’s a russian dub of shameless and the VAs are surprisingly spot on

some of Shleeb’s backcatalogue is up on Flixto, but you have to VPN to Croatia
