  Current issue: I'm moving from Castbox to AntennaPod. The cons of Castbox are just too much; lots of ads, the recommendation algorithm is infested with Right Wing Influencers, Religious Evangelists, Techbro and CEO glazers, "self-help" that is just Ayn Rand repackaged for modern men, woo/psuedoscience peddlers and other such garbage. It's also got lots of ads, very annoying. Many reasons to change. However, it's got two things going for it over AntennaP...

  You'll probably figure out how I know this, but here's a tip; when making a cosplay mask, you can build a cardboard dome for the top. You can build the dome by making a hoop around the widest part of your head. For most people, if the hoop fits around their forehead, it should be fine. BUT IF YOU WEAR GLASSES, YOUR GLASSES ARE THE WIDEST PART OF YOUR HEAD, SO REALLY TAKE NOTE OF THAT IF YOU LIKE SEEING :akko_aaa:

  Oh damn Audacity 4 looks pretty great actually. I wouldn't abandon my DAW for it but Audacity was always my goto for quick and dirty recordings, so this just makes it more useful. Introducing Audacity 4: New tools & a new look https://youtube.com/watch?v=BTQymidLYIM&si=1uNLyGGwbaDeGrls

  DLSS 5 has some people really tweaking, I saw a creator say that he preferred it on GTA V and that when he turned it off, it looked like a game from two generations ago. GTA V *is* a game from two generations ago (also it looked bad with DLSS 5 on, it had that artificial feel when there's massive disparity between the resolution of the textures and the amount tri count of the model, if you've seen some 4K texture packs for Fallout 3 and New Vegas you know what I'm talkin...

  It's only when you need to look up stuff about motorcycles when you find out what an SEO nightmare the overlap between motorcycle and bicycle terms are. And it's on things that are kinda crazy, there are approximately 0% of cyclists who use saddlebags but searching up "bike saddlebags" will not take you to motorcycle saddlebags. The word "bike" seems to heavily skew searches in favour of cycling. Infuriating stuff.

  Damn, I heard Delicious in Dungeon was good but I had no idea it was *this peak*, actual GOAT contender, it even has a great English dub. I'm a little angry I tried Mushoku Tensei first because had I known it was so mid I wouldn't have wasted my time.

  Happy #caturday ! Here's a couple photos of the regal and majestic Jellytot doing her thing. I especially like the tail eye cover photo, she is so done with us and our nonsense.

  One of those weekends folks. Four assignments due on a monday. I knocked three and a half of them out yesterday, but last big programming one is due at 11PM and I come up against Djikstra's, my old nemesis. I swear I've had this explained to me like several times, and I kinda get it, but then it comes time to actually write it as C++ code and then it's just a non starter, and the theory is weirdly far removed from the practical implementation. Ah well, that's for...

  Resident Evil 4 remake is R140 rn. I have tried a bunch of RE games, they haven't clicked with me yet. Champs and killers, last try. If I can't get into RE with REmake 4, then I'm going to just have to conclude that Resident Evil is not for me. That it is a series I prefer watching videos about rather than playing. Which is a shame because they all look good and run well on my PC, the community layouts for gyro aim are immaculate, Leon S Kennedy (the S stands for sexy) se...

  Nothing in this whole wide world feels as bad as struggling with a math problem only to go back and read the instructions that says all trig values are given in radians and then you look at your calculator and it is set to degrees. I need to go lie down and cry I'll attempt Newton's Method again once I forgive myself

  Hate finding out weird idiosyncrasies of C++ at 3AM when I have an assignment due, like come on what do you mean standard library vectors, stacks and queues don't return the element you pop? Worst still, you can index into vectors and deques but you can't index into stacks and queues. To print the contents of a stack or queue you basically have to make a copy you print front then pop, so you can't even just print the element you just popped. Maddening stuff.

  I can't help but get the vibe that HBO's Lanterns is trying to court the same audience as this latest crop of boomerslop shows like Landman and Yellowstone, and I just don't think it's going to work. Everyone loved how comicbook Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner was but now we're too embarrassed to show Green Lantern a costume in the trailer. Let comicbook shit be comicbook shit.

  I would love to see the stats on Prime Video memberships in the next few months now that The Boys ended. I imagine a lot of folks will nix their subscription until Invincible or Fallout comes back because what else is there, Beast Games? Maybe Reacher, but I don't think that's back either. Kinda feels like the only thing Amazon makes that people like are adaptations of works they've licensed.

  The SSD that houses my windows install kept having its space eaten. Turns out the Nvdia app was parking on 30GB and growing. Like what are we doing, champ, why.

  Mina The Hollower is out friends and I am so excited to play it. Also I handed in my last assignment for May and that leaves me with 11 days with no due dates. I am taking a week off!

  I do not say this lightly; IGN might have been right to give Mina The Hollower a 10/10.

  Happy Pride to US friends and others who celebrate (ours is in October) and I hope this month brings positive political change for all as well as joyous celebrations. May corporations and fascists have a terrible June, and may the rest of their months be even worse.

  Okay but like, the buried news here is that Valve and collaborators casually dropped an insanely good x86 to ARM translation layer to make the Steam Frame possible which is gonna be kind of a revolution in this space? And it's open source too? Like, gaming on ARM Linux is possible, and not in the "they ported Balatro to Android" way. A bunch of Android tablets are going to become very cool very quickly.

  You know, without Web3 NFT bullshit, there was a lost era of decentralized gaming back when it wasn't cost effective to have massive servers for users. Old games which used the host/join system. Hell, just games where one client in a LAN also acted as the server computer. I get it, it's just easier to run all your online interactions through Nintendo, but like... Those old games can still go online, whereas everything else just died. That's sad and we should make that a c...
