(she/they)

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.

I am a certified lurker.

SimplyTadpole,

Reading these comments is making me sweat nervously because I made an 80s-themed submod for a racing game with era-appropriate metal music, and it seems that a decent chunk of the bands I chose for the soundtrack turned out to be fascist or fascist-sympathizing 😓

SimplyTadpole,

The night is also less hot and doesn’t have super-harsh sunlight that makes me go blind, either.

SimplyTadpole,

Yeah… I largely live under a rock and vastly prefer indie games (and older/abandoned big-name games) to most of the usual AAA games and live-service games.

Which makes it quite funny when I see so many Gamers complaining about how “gaming is dying” due to the enshittification of mainstream games, when I’m quite happy under my rock and sheltered from all that 😅

SimplyTadpole,

Yeah, in fact I rarely ever see the second one playing out…

SimplyTadpole,

I’m a pretty big fan of an online-only game that was killed while I was still in diapers, and I can only play a limited debug build of it that was leaked by a disgruntled developer who was mad the game was shut down. I often wish I had been able to experience it the way it was originally intended to.

I don’t have The Crew, but what I’m seeing lines up very closely to my situation, so I relate to it. And this is a cause I most definitely support, so I really hope this works out. I hate when games end up as permanently lost media…

SimplyTadpole,

oh good lord i hope not.

SimplyTadpole,

That’s good to hear. Everyone else was only talking about the US and EU, and I’m like… “what about me, who doesn’t live in either?” 😐

SimplyTadpole,

I miss MSN Messenger… it was part of my childhood.

SimplyTadpole,

Yeah. My country used to be a capitalist dictatorship in the 60s-80s and it very, very much kept people who disliked it from escaping it, and then tortured them for being “unpatriotic”. And as ICastFist mentioned, there are several other capitalist and even “democratic” countries out there that very much build walls to keep people from leaving, too.

I initially assumed this meme was criticizing capitalism due to pointing out how the rich plunder and oppress the poor (i.e. the US with Latin America, and Europe with Africa and the Middle East), then hoard the profits for themselves while propping up walls to prevent anyone from the places they exploited from getting to also share and experience their wealth and safety nets (i.e. America’s border wall with Mexico, and Europe sinking refugee boats while fanning fascism to pin economic issues on the migrants rather than the capitalists themselves), but reading the OP’s replies it seems the meme was actually made in defense of capitalism…?

Honestly, between this and the “you’d be morally obligated to vote for 99% Hitler” nonsense, neoliberals seem to be really, really bad at defending their own ideology, lol

SimplyTadpole,

aroace gang represent

SimplyTadpole,

I’m absolutely the one on the right…

What do those posters say though? I can’t make out the handwriting.

SimplyTadpole,

thanks!

SimplyTadpole,

In my school, we were taught to/made to write in cursive since like 4. And then everyone complained that my handwriting was illegible chicken scratch and yelled at me to write more legibly.

Then I switched to non-cursive (whatever you call writing the same shape as the text in the page here?) and immediately my text became legible. Then everyone switched to complaining that I write too slow.

I just can’t win.

SimplyTadpole,

That’s probably it, thanks!

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

SimplyTadpole,

Can confirm (but mine is the regular trim rather than the X version).

SimplyTadpole,

Yes, for over a year now (since early December 2022, don’t remember the exact date).

My experiences with it seem to constantly be different than that of most users, because Wayland was a direct upgrade for me - I couldn’t play games properly on X11 at all because they would stutter and freeze really badly even when Vsync was disabled and the game reported to be running at 60 FPS, but Wayland fixed the issue altogether for me.

…Granted, I’m on an AMD card. If I was on Nvidia it’d probably be another story entirely. :x

SimplyTadpole,

Hopefully we can can order some Granny Cream’s Hot Butter Ice Cream in this thing

SimplyTadpole,

I’m very glad I’m not the only one here to have thought this 😅

SimplyTadpole,

It’s another “don’t create the Torment Nexus” situation again…

SimplyTadpole,

Christ, Gamergate is still around? :/

SimplyTadpole,

I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/

SimplyTadpole,

Oh holy shit, that’s horrible… I’m so, so sorry you went through that ;-;

SimplyTadpole,

It’s the “Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing” strategy.
