  Windows, the hype: "Microsoft is totally obsessed with backwards compatibility, it is both their major competitive advantage and their albatross" Windows, the reality: "oh, this game is more than 5 years old? yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to go fuck yourself"

  receiver did a pretty good brick imitation for a few minutes this morning and that's some shit I really don't need to be replacing right now because those were getting more expensive over time even before everything else started getting more expensive every once in a while I look at used ones and they're like "yeah we'll sell you one from 1992 for $200"

  please, everyone, join me in refusing to scan Google's QR code reCAPTCHAs if a site you want or need to use starts using them, complain to the operators, but here's the rub: don't bother arguing with site operators about privacy etc; instead, just lie, and say you can't get them to work

  decided last night I should play a Diablo with the kid so I checked out DevilutionX and that's real cool then I got Battle.net working under Wine and that was a big pain in the ass and I installed the Diablo II remake which I bought back when it came out but never played and was immediately grossed out by being upsold DLC for a game I played as a teenager then I got old school Diablo II working under Wine with D2DX and that is also pretty cool

  we watched the recent animated Gremlins show with the kid (actually pretty good) but now I have the Gremlins theme stuck in my head and it is not a subtle or gentle thing to have in a tight loop

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@livelakemichigan/116539103773546840 I desperately need to know the tale of pettiness behind the caption that is always superimposed on this webcam: "Outdoor serving of bar and restaurant customers by the owner or operator of Unit 1001 [The Shoreline Restaurant] or other restaurant personnel shall not be permitted."

  love having all the deckbuilding tools default to this hideous wretched Arcane Signet in Elvish now I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts because it'll be replaced with some Marvel Super Heroes bullshit soon enough #mtg

  why are the foil versions of recent legendary creatures so much cheaper than the non-foils? like the core 4 Ninja Turtles from their commander deck, or Tidus and Yuna from that deck; the regular versions are all between $3 and $5 but the foils can all be had for less than a dollar is it because one version of the card only comes in a precon while the other one only comes in a booster pack? it's still strange the price differential is so large #mtg
