Combat in Morrowind: *whoop* *whoop* *whoop* *whoop* AH!!! *whoop* AH!!! *whoop* *whoop* *whoop*

Fucking love this game. 10/10

Most of my childhood memories have been saved on grainy, imperfect pictures and, yeah, I’m content with that and cherish them all the same (probably even more so, because that reflects the time in which they were made). If I want high-resolution photographs of something, I use a proper camera, but there’s really nothing about “high-resolution” that implies “treasured memory” to me or vice versa.

Considering that even a midrange smartphone today is leaps ahead of “real” cameras from the past, I guess a different way to phrase your question is “Am I content to have my memories preserved with the image quality of a camera from 20 years ago?”. And the answer to that would be a clear “yes”. But to each their own.

I mean, if showing pictures from your phone on a big screen is something you do so often that your phone absolutely has to do that and do it flawlessly, then yeah, I guess a midrange phone is not for you. But that’s such a specific requirement, I can’t exactly blame a company like Fairphone for not catering to those needs.

This, and in terms of repairability/sustainability, it’s hard to make an “everything device” and do it well. Every time you think you got all user requirements covered, another user comes around the corner with a new set of hyper-specific requirements, and you’re back at square one figuring out supply chains and design fundamentals. If your aim is to make something repairable and sustainable that is hard to make that way, it’s much more feasible to just make two separate devices.

Nach Staatshilfen zu fragen hat bei Volkswagen doch Tradition. Für dieses Traditionsbewusstsein hat sich der Vorstand seinen Bonus in meinen Augen verdient.

Explain. (I’m old.)

“Danke, aber ich schaue erstmal nur. Ich melde mich dann, wenn ich eine Frage habe.”

You’re saying that, a generation ago, keeping your shoes on was normal?

The Iliad is actually a great example for this, because the recent translation of it by Emily Wilson received a lot of praise, and I know a few people who work in that field and would of be extatic to have a signed copy of it.

France should be “shoes off”. Never seen a French person who kept their shoes on in the house.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”

I think we can all agree that the best option for this story-wise is a rom-com centered around Karlach in an alternate reality where her infernal engine makes her get into all kinds of shenanigans while on a quest for true love (spoiler: there was love in Avernus all along!).

His fucking dagger paws that he drills into my chest to make me get up in the morning.

Später im Untersuchungsausschuss: “In der damaligen Situation mussten wir schnell Entscheidungen treffen, da sich die Chips-Preise teilweise stündlich änderten. Vor 3 Jahren war ich Taufpate des Sohnes von Herrn Funny, der mich damals beim Hauskauf unterstützte, darüber hinaus sind wir jedoch nicht umfassend miteinander bekannt.”

I used to be able to just say “please download the materials from [learning platform] and organize them so you can work with them before class” and that would be fine. Nowadays I have to give step-by-step instructions that involve things like “create a folder”, “navigate to your download folder” and “cut (ctrl-x) the files and paste (ctrl-v) them into the new folder” unless I want half the students to get lost.

Some don’t even have a concept of downloading a file. They’re so used to streaming and mobile UIs that they seem to think that a downloaded file is simply gone once you close it (and needs to be re-downloaded).

What it feels like to look at a TV that’s close enough to justify 8K:
