    That’s the way it always seems to work. Watch how fast gun legislation gets put through when a politician’s kid gets caught up in a school shooting.

    Watch how fast the conversation changes when the protests aren’t just “radical extremists from the left”.

    What’s that line? “Soon, they will have been against this all along…”













  • That screen looks incredible. I’d love to have something like this, I just can’t really justify it to myself. My phone already will play pretty much anything I want to emulate, the only hassle is needing to lug a controller around (one day I’ll buy one of those backbone controllers or something).

    Still, as a lover of tech and games, this kind of product speaks to me. I just WANT it. I don’t need it.





  • I’ve been using Chris Titus’s WinUtil : https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

    I have no idea if it is open source or not, I’m not really sure how to check that. I’m pretty sure that his utility includes shutup10 within it. Regardless, yeah, I should have linked it. Thanks for the reminder. It’s been a fantastic utility and I’ve been very happy with it. Between that and WinAeroTweaker, I have my system set up pretty much precisely how I want it.

    I am so close to jumping on the Linux train though. Not for any usability reasons within Windows, as I said, my install is pretty much perfect for my needs at this point. More of a moral stand against a company which I vehemently disagree with their stance and actions in the world. The only problem I keep coming back to is that 1 or 2 of my games won’t work on Linux due to anti-cheat bs. That’s pretty much my only sticking point now.

    I had one of those “LightScribe” burners. I think I only used it a couple of times because the media was much more expensive than standard CD-R and I didn’t care enough to get good at it. It was just a slow extra step when I’m trying to burn a quick cd before I head to the bus stop in the morning.

    Funnily, burning the lightscribe cd was faster than the first mp3 player I had. My first mp3 player was a Creative something or other with 32mb of storage. Adding the ~15 songs you could fit on it took fucking donkey’s years.
