@jk they're cutting down trees in some parts of london just so 5G will even work

@jk don't worry 5G has a range of 3 feet and cannot penetrate most solids
it has high bandwidth in the sense a 1TB microSD delivered via slingshot does

I want batman to hear about a crime, find that it's just a riddler thing and sigh with relief because at least its deterministic

Show thread

I call them puzzles for clarity, not as an accurate descriptor of what they are. The riddler does actual puzzles

the joker should just make Sierra adventure game puzzles in real life; which is to say create problems that are hideously contrived and can only be solved in hideously contrived ways, but because he operates in a physical reality the weird contrived nonsense he sets up always kills at least a dozen people

also characters don't really need to be deep in fiction, they just have to serve the narrative. the Joker can absolutely be compelling as a random crisis generator for hypermethodical batman

I don't think the joker should ever present coherent reasons for what he does. he shouldn't have a traumatic past or any past at all. I dont think he should strictly even be intentionally criminal. I think the joker should just be someone who continually does things with no clear connective logic or purpose

@body@mastodon.social the joker movies would also be better

re: covid19-adjacent, food 

@body@mastodon.social i was attempting sourdough cultures BEFORE the global pandemic

doom eternal spoilers, politic 

i really appreciate the narrative thread where authority and those subservient to it both excuse industrialised genocide and blame the Doom Guy for it, despite the fact he is trying to stop it, and him trying to stop it has no effect on whether they do it, and they could just not do it.
It's like how in real life when you point out that a politician is murdering people for no reason and a bunch of scum come out the woodowork to tell you well maybe you shouldn't have been so rude to Oldmoney J. Turbohitler it's not his fault that he had to kill all those natives in order to poison their sacred land sucking some inefficient fuel out from under it with a massive dangerous machine

on one hand I'm glad for fairly standardised computers with similar layouts from the RPI0 up to weird carbon fibre water cooler computo-pyramid from alienware
but on the other hand im gonna miss weird architecturally unique machines

@Nine infact everything on the DS was in software, it didn't have a GPU either

@Nine ok yeah the uh. Instead of a sound card the DS had a GBA CPU which was dedicated entirely to sound in DS mode; so the original game would've had a software audio renderer instead of a hardware one like on newer phones and consoles

@Nine probably a significantly different audio renderer on the DS compared to any of the subsequent platforms

@envgen people see horizontally though (2 circular visual fields combined into a horizontal oval)
