Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion (Nintendo Switch, 2018)

no lie this was maybe one of the best experiences I’ve had in a video game and it lasted most of an hour, and was all caused by a damn physics glitch

eventually I found safe haven on another freighter which warped into the system, laying low there before emerging and gunning it for the system’s space station and ultimately saving after about 43 extremely tense minutes haha

I then stood my ground, given I’d done nothing (really) wrong, and was treated to about a twenty minute chase with the system authority, who I could not evade in my basic ship, and who had disabled all my speediest forms of travel

this glitchy flickering went on for about five minutes before I was suddenly out, …and came under attack by the system authorities for “attacking” the freighter 😅

(I may have fired a few rockets to see if it would unstick me, to be fair)

when you make A Mistake (warning: glitchy flickering at the end)

relatedly: the thing where Steam now opens the desktop chat window at startup on a Steam installation configured to launch into big picture mode is um, completely fucking horrible and breaks your ability to use big picture mode as intended at all?

me, having played a bit of no man’s sky: ah, a work day, I should be responsible and concentrate on work

my brain:

honestly I very sincerely would love to see no man’s sky on the switch, but I do understand if the GPU compute requirements just put that out of the realm of possibility

[slaps roof of tummy] this bad boy can fit so many fucking pizza in it

hey does there exist a Bluetooth card/dongle which won’t cause Windows 10 to fucking crash at the driver level whenever more than one device is actively exchanging data?

“Food can’t be produced competitively in Australia anymore. Blame the people who want to get paid a liveable quantity of money for their labour in conditions that aren’t likely to get them killed. I do.”

browser extension to replace “unionists” with “people who want to get paid a liveable quantity of money for their labour in conditions that aren’t likely to get them killed”

I take back everything negative I’ve said about Photos dot app because it may have just singlehandedly redeemed itself

an interesting difference in implementation between Twitter image captions and Mastodon image captions is that Mastodon will gladly show image captions to anyone, but Twitter only shows them to screen reader users

No Man’s Sky permadeath “flew into a star%” speedrun category

hey can anyone recommend a 4+-port HDMI switcher? Preferably 4k60-capable, and bonus points for having any sort of auto-switch function that isn’t glitchy as hell

I’m so glad most USB to Serial adapters were designed in 1999 to match the original iMac and have *never* been changed since

freedom keeps trying to ring, could it have some decorum and text instead? 🙄
