@gabe Whoa. Impressive.

Happy π day, everyone!
When I was in school in Russia I learned a little poem to remember some of Pi's numbers. The principle was simple - count the number of letters in each word for a digit after 3:

Я знаю и помню прекрасно
Пи лишние знаки мне вовсе напрасны

(I know and remember well, Pi's extra digits are useless to me)

Now THIS is how you do a sound card setup test. 👍

@Bogusmeatfactory I'm not a fan of puns, but my respect for Josh Mandel increased x1000% after I played this game. I just didn't know *this* amount of puns in a videogame was possible.

Them: What are you thinking about?
Me: Oh, nothing.
My brain:

Fortnite is as old this year as Wolfenstein 3D was when Deus Ex came out.

What do you see? Business people, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Going through a 90s Japanese CD-ROM of a desktop image generator featuring photos of nude women, and even before I hit the photos with visible landmarks it was obvious the pictures were taken in early 90s Russia. Which means the budget was nearly nothing. In early 90s Russia a foreigner could get nearly anyone to strip for just a couple of bucks.

@garrencho I don't do anything except play them. I find the files on the internet.

@SnoopJ Eggers' movie is interesting because despite very clearly using Murnau's and Herzog's versions as a starting point, Eggers doesn't actually copy anything, and that includes the original's iconic imagery, which *every* other version references. Eggers' movie is basically its own.

Ok, the 2023 was not good, but it was still a fun watch, in a way. It was entertaining to see it fumble pretty much every single one of its, mostly good, ideas.
