Y'all, @mc_frontalot is on the fediverse! How did I not know this?

I know I shouldn't be surprised given the man we're talking about but still, it makes me a little giddy

I'm sure he doesn't remember meeting me years and years ago at a show in NYC where I was working the booth that hosted him (GGn) but him and his crew were so genuine and down to earth and legitimately good people. I even wound up beatboxing on stage to fill some empty time between sets

If you're not familiar with nerdcore or front himself, it's worth checking out. I'm not even a hip-hop fan but his flow is so unique and lyrics so niche I can't help but love it

@neatchee I got him on my site a million years ago! https://usesthis.com/interviews/mc.frontalot/

You know you must be doing something right if you're upsetting the Nazis.

Got hit with the poa.st-adjacent trolls this morning in response to my Helldivers 2 post. Not even a little bit surprised.

Have to say, it's nice when the servers worth suspending self-identify

@neatchee Ah, I wondered how these dipshits found that.

I'm honestly annoyed with PC gamers' response to Helldivers 2 requiring PSN accounts.

Refunding a game you've played for >200hrs because you have to make a new account? It's so childish.

If you're worried about a data breach or something, do what most security-conscious people do: use a unique username/password.

If you're in one of the few countries where PSN isn't an option you have a legit argument once they actually lock you out but the devs already say they're working on that problem.

If you're getting btfo because Sony wants your gameplay data, I have no sympathy.

I have plenty of issues with Sony. This ain't one of them

@neatchee Won't somebody think of the outrage?!

@neatchee Lol, I seem to have upset some Nazis with this, oh no.

@neatchee The latter, I would guess (Detroit Riot peeps.)

And there it is, the contractor canceled. And I tented the work area outside.

If you want all log levels (debug, info, warning, error) by the same amount of characters so they align in the console, how would you do it?

'Debug' gets shortned to... DEBG? DBUG? Error looks weird as EROR, so I gave it an extra R. The bonus level HTTP made me make them 4 chars instead of 3.

@joshhunt DBG, WRN, ERR?

As someone who once wrote a System 7 INIT extension to make his Colour Classic think it had a bigger screen so it would run Marathon*, I have so much love for people who hack hardware to run software it was never designed for.

  • It technically worked, but half of the game was drawn on top of itself.

My old boss’s child is missing and is just a couple years older than my own. I cannot imagine the pain right now as they go through this.

TFW you realise you're older than Voyager 1, but haven't gone anywhere near as far in life.

The Voyager 1 resurrection is just remarkable. I keep thinking about how they did an OTA update across 15 billion miles. I won’t complain about bad WiFi when downloading content again.

A thing I really like about fedi culture as it exists in my little corner is that it’s possible to think out loud about things I’m really unsure about without getting immediately socially disciplined by people who read earnest blather as a tryout for Media Thinker jobs.

@kissane How are you picking where to post stuff? I will occasionally dip into Bluesky, but I almost never post.

@kissane That seems like so much work!
