    It’s a charicature. I’m not laughing because I think it’s real (which would be kind of mean, anyway, since I’d just be laughing at someone screwing up). I’m laughing because it’s relatable to real experiences many people have had, and because of the added commentary about software development.

    Your hyperfocus on reality in media, and failure to see the comedy for what it truly is, is far more cringe than the video 😉

    EDIT: it’s like asking why people laugh at the obviously fake stories stand-up comedians tell because they’re made up. Like, yeah, no shit, that’s not the point.



  • Ado has a crazy range of styles in their music too; it’s very hit or miss for me. This one needs to have me in the right mood heh.

    Some tracks worth checking out that have a different style:

    And while it’s much more similar to the OP track, no Ado song list would be complete without her most famous song and the one that shows off her vocal creativity and flexibility the most:

    The range she has in her voice is truly impressive. Interestingly she has no formal vocal training and learned everything emulating sounds from other musicians and especially vocaloid tracks.

    She also writes almost all her own songs and is heavily involved in the mixing and production process

    Oh, and she’s only 22, but has taken Japan by storm




  • This is only sort of true, unfortunately. Polaris is a two-star system: Polaris Aa and Polaris B.

    Polaris B is much older than sharks, by several billion years.

    Polaris Aa appears to be younger than sharks, at a measley 50 million years old, compared to sharks’ 420 million years

    HOWEVER it is unclear whether Polaris Aa is actually that young. Scientists believe that, based on some contradictory findings, that measurement may be inaccurate if Polaris Aa is formed from two different stars that merged. In that scenario, the model we use to calculate star age would no longer work and could give wildly inaccurate estimates of the star’s true age

    TMYK








  • You’re correct on all fronts, but I guess what I would point out is that those design elements were a staple of the FF franchise long before 7. It was another turn based strategy role playing game in a series of turn based strategy role playing games. With OOT you had a real time action adventure franchise with a game using design elements you’d expect from…well, from a turn based strategy role playing game xD

    That’s where I have issues with OOT in hindsight. It stumbled in executing on its own self-image, whereas FF7 did a better of job of understanding itself





  • I’m with you 100% on everything you wrote here and I’ve had this argument with my brother countless times. He blames Rian Johnson for everything bad about the sequels and it’s bs.

    Personally I think the biggest thing TLJ suffered from was the split focus between Poe and Finn. It made both stories rushed or weak in various places.

    And for that I blame Disney. Did you know that Poe wasn’t even supposed to be a big character? He was supposed to be in the first scene of Ep7 and that’s it. But execs saw his performance and insisted they needed his character to play a bigger role. As such, we get attention split between Poe and Finn and both suffer for it.

    I feel awful for John Boyega who was such a massive Star Wars fan, got the role of his dreams, and then effectively got sidelined for a pretty-boy.



  • My solution for this type of situation is MicroBin running on my home network from a non-standard port, with a port knocker to open and close the port when needed.

    My router handle DDNS so I can always contact my home network easily. I port-knock to trigger an iptables command on the router to forward traffic to the MicroBin host.

    I also have my phone set up to connect via openvpn to my home network so that I can remotely do things like start and stop services, set port forwarding rules, etc.
