OK, russki.

Pfft. I’ve been a brain in a jar producing my own reality for over 37 years. I’d be demanding my own accolades if any of you actually existed.

So you’re saying they designed it stupidly for no reason? Gosh.

You know that meme with the guy on the bicycle who puts a stick in his own spokes?

Yeah.

Even for personal use, I’ve tried various alternatives to Photoshop over the years like Gimp and Krita and they just can’t compete. Photoshop is just ridiculously powerful, so it sucks even more that the company that owns it is so shitty.

You can still save locally even if you’re using the Creative Cloud software. I stuck with CS6 for a long time because I hate software subscriptions, but eventually bit the bullet to get access to the new features and a UI that actually scales to my monitor. It’s been mostly fine, but I’d still prefer to just own the software I use.

The only time I ever got screen burn was because of this wallpaper.

It’s a solution looking for a problem. As someone in the comments of the article pointed out, Microsoft spent a lot of money investing in OpenAI and now they’re desperately trying to find a way to justify it.

Now ask him if he would consider any election where republicans lost to be “fair.”

I never figured out parrying in Dark Souls or Bloodborne, so I spent the first few hours of Sekiro cheesing enemies by sprinting around them and taking pot shots. This worked up until the Blazing Bull before I got stuck.

I restarted the game, making a point of trying to parry the easier enemies. When I actually tried, I found the timing to be a lot more forgiving than the other games and you can even spam it a bit because the animation is so fast. Once I figured that out, I finally started playing the game correctly and ended up defeating every boss and mini boss.

By “meaningful growth driver,” they mean it’ll give Andrew Wilson a boner that makes him ugly cry.

Honestly, the Lumia Windows phones were pretty nice. App support was lacking but I have never been an app user. I would have kept using mine if the BlackBerry KeyOne hadn’t come out shortly after.

I think it’s common for former BlackBerry stans to go for unconventional phones to replace them. iPhone and typical Android phones are boring to me. I’m currently using a Surface Duo 2 and looking into a foldable as my next phone.

This is why, as a software developer, I’m against designing any system that assumes what the user wants and tries to do it for them automatically. On the occasions where the assumption is right, it’s a mild convenience at best. When it’s wrong, it is always infuriating if not dangerous.

It’s not nice to insult someone for their appearance, but it’s okay to not be nice to evil people.

“I told you I ain’t a bear.”

The Neanderthal is genuinely more attractive. No wonder humans interbred with them. “Hey, gurl. You got a brow ridge that won’t quit.”

Myst also has a pretty good series of novels that add a lot to the story.

The Outcast games (not to be confused with Outlast) have great world building, putting the kind of detail into the alien world that you’d expect from a really thorough high fantasy novel. The first game is a bit clunky even in its remake form, but the sequel “A New Beginning” is basically a modern action game.

You don’t really need to play the first to play the second. The main character starts with amnesia so everything gets explained to you again.

She is clearly a shaved bear that Russia sent over.
