Lol at the ending
We’ve still got a few years until the three seashells take over and Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.
Unfortunately, I think this is the most likely scenario. Going from our modern technology levels, which are more than capable of destroying the world, to Dyson spheres is a huge leap that will take who knows how long (decades? centuries? millennia?).
Before that happens, we have to live together on a planet without blowing ourselves up or making the planet uninhabitable. As technology continues to advance, walking that knife edge of survival seems more and more difficult. The pessimist inside of me says that no civilization has been able to accomplish it.
Yeah, it seems very possible that at one point, civilization will turn inward instead of outward. Why go through the time and effort to colonize the stars when you can just create a cyber-utopia? If you’re advanced enough, you could make it feel like an eternity while almost no time passes on the outside.
Sure, your planet might get destroyed by a cataclysmic event in the far future, but if you can make that feel like billions or trillions of years, who really cares?
Maybe this makes me old, but I much prefer a written document explaining how an API works over Swagger.
Same. Especially since I’ve been building EDWs for most of my career. People are always surprised that it actually takes time to integrate with different systems.
“What do you mean you can’t just pull all the data out of this system that we don’t have database access to and are still building out the APIs?”
I kid… The people asking for stuff don’t know what backend databases and APIs are.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.
It’s 4 years old. The pixels have aged since then.
Yes, veroxii and I are married now.
I made this one on a post a few days ago:
Are you… are you hitting on me?
Don’t you come “bussin’ no cap” at me young man, I’m happily married.
Pretty sure Valve issued a statement telling people not to huff their Deck exhaust. But fuck that, don’t tell me how to live my life!
Yeah! Where that tiger dick?
The key to XCOM is never to sprint (run with both halves of your action meter) if you can avoid it. Move with half the action, the fire or overwatch.
I enjoyed the XCOM-like parts, but couldn’t stand the running around, material gathering stuff. Just let me be super heroes non-stop battling bad guys, with a little bit of room between fights for upgrades. I don’t want to go fishing with Blade.
Any time I hear about this, I can’t help but think of this comedy bit by Louis CK - https://youtube.com/watch?v=DXtHF0WRX64
Yes, I realize Louis CK is a POS and shouldn’t be seen as a moral authority on any subject.
I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It’s like a perfect little dose of relaxation.
I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!
