like it's so hard to stress to kids today that like, before mario 64, games like that *did not exist.* They really just pulled that one out of their asses and, even if mario 64 isn't the best game ever, it's an actual miracle they were able to do it at all, especially because they were doing it on crusty early 90s computers lmao

I bought what is essentially the same product from the same brand, I was expecting to get an improved version but reader? they made it worse. It only draws power from the output now which isn't powered on my screen

I hate that for simple things like "adding HDMI ports to a screen that doesn't have enough" you have to buy some shitty e-waste product and hope it supports features like "switches to the active line automatically" and "draws 5V from the HDMI 5V line"

Computing horrors 

I've lived a long and content life, ignorant of this horrible fact: there exists a UTF-EBCDIC encoding. Blessed by the Unicode consortium even. The eldrich horrors of EBCDIC unleashed by the Old Ones, now rise again from their slumber into modern Unicode.

Make your saving throw against sanity...

don't get me wrong, I still like the genre and I'm probably get it when it goes on sale and after they fixes some of the most glaring issues, but I yearn for a city builder that actually attempts to model real city planning instead of fucking Urban Dynamics

streets come with street parking that you can't get rid of, but no bike lanes. You need to hit like four or sth milestones to even get public transit

Show thread

what disappoints me most about Cities: Skylines 2 is not the mediocre state it shipped in but how little they broke up the city builder formula, it barely even iterates on a genre that hasn't fundamentally changed since SimCity
