Krudler,

I don’t know what an egg farmer is either.

But I found a lot of this fun of the game opened up when I went into the unlocks and secrets menu and found out there’s things I could do to open up different game modes, difficulties, etc

Krudler,

Yes I’m seeing the same sentiment bubble up in multiple comments here. I don’t relate at all…

It’s been a few years since I encountered any meaningful discussion on Reddit that wasn’t immediately polluted by screeching buffoons. I’ve yet to see that here.

I hope this trend personally experiencing continues!

Krudler, (edited )

I appreciate that suggestion, I will definitely look into it! I’m intrigued by the idea of there being little narration.

Just tonight I tried to watch another documentary, and I think it’s what spurred my post. My grievance was exactly what you’re describing.

At one point they were talking about divers collecting a sample from the ocean floor, and the narration was underscoring how critical it was they do the dive while conditions are still safe, and how the waves could increase in intensity, increasing the danger manyfold! And it’s like okay… so what’s really happening is that these guys are taking some scuba tanks and they’re going to go down 30 ft and everything’s going to be fine cuz nothing’s happening here. (Edit: of course, accompanied by pounding string orchestra music)

Krudler,

I appreciate that recommendation!

Krudler,

Recent, no sadly.

This is at the crux of my grievance, when I watch documentaries that are 20 or 30 years old or more, what I see are raw looks at interesting topics that don’t have this kind of presentation.

I’m scrambling to find anything made in the last 15 years where the presentation is reasonably neutral, and mundanity isn’t presented in a hyper dramatic way. Or where the superficial presentation style completely overwhelms the more sober reality of the underlying topic

Krudler,

Computer UI design is what is being discussed; not really pre-internet media.

What happened is that pro tools became available to unskilled, untalented, and unseasoned amateurs around 2000. I think what’s being criticized is the “web 2.0” trend that arose when every nincompoop with cracked copies of Adobe/Macromedia Suite(s) could produce and publish trash, as became sooooo easy and cheap. Whereas prior to this shift in technology, design had to be well-conceived and intentional because proofing and publishing was an expensive barrier to tom-fuckery by hobbyists.

Krudler,

Thank you, this is an exact point I was making earlier today in a different conversation.

Google has two decades of information about me. Just as one random example, I’m hooked into their mapping app so they know everywhere I go and on what schedule, and can infer what I buy.

Not once in 20 years has Google advertised something to me that is in line with my interests and needs. Google knows I go to the cigar store every Monday to replenish my supply, and they’ve never suggested to me a product or service that can save me time, money, or make it more convenient.

Google’s ad system seems to shove garbage products in my face like black label shit from China (raycon, manscaped, etc) and products/companies that do not operate in my region.

How hard is it to know everything about a person, and still fail to advertise one single thing that is useful to them over decades??!

Krudler,

First thing I do with every new keyboard, at home or at work, is literally remove the CAPS LOCK key and throw it in the garbage.

Yes I know that there is software solutions, but it’s just easier this way, especially when I don’t necessarily have admin privileges

Krudler,

I’ve been thinking for like 10 years that phones should have calibration functions specifically for the keyboard.

I have big hands, I am talking about palm a basketball sized hands. This makes it nearly impossible for me to ever hit the letter I think I’m hitting. Surely there’s enough computing power available now to figure this out.

Krudler,

Flip such that the maximum rotation is achieved, height should be a natural arc a few feet high, then with open palm, strike down at the coin like your smashing a fly on a tabletop, and snatch it out of the air.

My buddy Julian taught me this 40 years ago… Doing it right now and I can still make it come heads every time. Why though?

Krudler,

Eat a banana, and drink a glass of warm water with one teaspoon of kosher salt and one tablespoon of sugar.

Krudler,

I’m Canadian. Not that it matters much for this comment but feel compelled to say.

Regarding laws demanding fees, I think it’s actually a good idea. Most platforms built-up with the shallow ruse of serving user interests and business interests. Then once the audience became captured by (really a few only) tech monopolies, they slowly leveraged the users to suck as much blood, when that phase was over they started sucking the blood of businesses. Nothing is organic and it’s a huge money-con building wealth off those they once served, now pulled the rug out from.

The complete enshittification of the Internet is upon us. These awful blood-sucking tech monopolies have dropped the altruistic ruse and they are in full end-stage capitalism mode. They’ve commodified the users, they’ve taken their business partners hostage, and it’s one giant fuckaround used to build wealth for stockholders.

Hell… were on a platform right now discussing it, which in large part exists because the investors of Reddit are pulling this same shit.

Krudler,

Look man, Vista was a complete piece of shit in every measurable way.

Even if you hand wave away the fact that most important hardware/software didn’t work with it and yes you could get stable hw going…

And give it that the gadgets were pretty cool, akin to my widgets on Android…

The entire thing was a misbegotten disaster of design and implementation. And from a business perspective, they rammed it down everybody’s throat a year before it was even remotely ready. Hardware partners, manufacturers, software developers, not just end users got fucked hard. Most people ended up with steaming lumps of shit that could open a web browser if they were lucky, and maybe use their recipe software.

People forget what Apple was doing with the Mac UI at that time, and Microsoft, decided to sell the sizzle of that, forgetting that they don’t know how to do that. And it was such a internal cluster fuck It was literally never going to be finished unless it got shoved out the door.

It was one 1/2 baked idea layered on top of the next.

And you know it.

Krudler,

That’s a very interesting fix on a rare bug.

Can we get this guy to figure out why the fuck the URL rollover in the bottom left will not go away unless you shrink the video, roll onto a different link, then full screen the video again?

I’ve tried every change to userchrome.css that I can find and none of them fix it

Krudler,

That’s a great question actually, I can’t find it as an outstanding bug, but Mozilla has multiple support articles on it leading me to wonder.

Do you have any suggestions on how I could search?

Krudler,

I had not heard about this and was completely confused.

So turns out they are releasing this game under the exact same name as the stinker from 2014. Dumb move imo.
