Circuit’s Edge and Ranger X !

Maybe I can help!

It’s very small by land area, but it’s 18th largest in population. That’s not large, large, but it’s also not a smaller state.

Agreed all on your second paragraph. Thankfully, at least, there’s a step in the right direction happening, belated and incomplete though it may be.

CynicRaven ,

Heck yeah, this sounds fantastic. Are you able to give me any pointers in a response or DM on how to move forward with getting it all set up? My wife never had a 64 so she never got to experience the game. Ideally, we’d play it together each of us on our Steam Decks. I’ve bought All Stars or whatever it’s called on the Switch but the prospect of us playing through the game together almost like a couch Co OP experience is extremely enticing. Obviously, you’re not responsible for me figuring everything out so if there’s a good forum or even video link discussing it, I’d be most appreciative.

CynicRaven ,

Awesome thank you so much for the pointers!

CynicRaven ,

I know St Ives uses crushed up walnut shells and apricot pits for theirs.

CynicRaven ,

Hey! Would you happen to know the keyboard command to bring up the side panels when in a game in game mode? I know ctrl-1 and ctrl-2 work when outside the game but they don’t appear to work when in a game.

CynicRaven ,

The Glass Menagerie. Introduction of sad, boring characters. Nothing happens. The end.

CynicRaven ,

Heck yeah it is! These days the franchise is as associated with Bethesda’s entries and take on the content as is Interplay’s, leaving little room for Tactics to get its due.

CynicRaven ,

She must be a graduate!

CynicRaven ,

I don’t know the answer to that, exactly, but I see shit loads of people with Android phones using air pods.

CynicRaven ,

My kids termed that cinnamon bunning. :D

Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

CynicRaven ,

Nauru is all sorts of fucked up because of their history as a colony leading into mass extraction of their natural resource then leading to them doing a lot of shady shit to maintain their solvency. Granted this is a little bit old now so I may be out of date and I’m no geopolitical expert.

CynicRaven ,

Yeah, unfortunately been a thing since the gesture navigation was implemented. Somewhat recently I’ve gone back to the three button navigation so I could use Nova but I’m using Pie navigation so I can have the swiping to go back and also gives me some customisability to do some additional actions while swiping.

CynicRaven ,

I found the mind share that Apple enjoys makes this kind of inverted when things don’t run right on OSX or iOS whereas android is more in the Windows boat.

CynicRaven ,

I could be wrong but I think at one point the outside sources toggle was just a one time thing and affected all applications.

CynicRaven ,

Is it ever specified of the wine Jesus makes is good wine?

CynicRaven ,

Stay safe.

CynicRaven ,

Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I’d say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don’t get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn’t look nearly as sexy.

CynicRaven ,

I don’t care about right jeans making me look old because I just can’t wait until baggy pants become more acceptable to wear again. Much more comfortable!

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

CynicRaven ,

It’s interesting you mention Apple because while I have every expectation that you’re correct at the moment, the iPod absolutely benefited from piracy. iTunes allowed you to add your own songs to your library to sync with the device, and iTunes could also be argued to have been on a similar model to Steam because you’d pay to ‘own’ the songs and there was no subscription giving you access to songs.

CynicRaven ,

Is that a rhetorical question? I’ve had a few Apple products mostly in the past or issued to me from when, but I prefer android even when it can be disappointing to me sometimes. Was launching into nandroid via Haret when Windows Mobile devices were a thing too. I don’t prefer Apple stuff but whether it be sincere or perhaps theatrics, it seems like you’ve got an unnecessary and over aggressive revulsion towards them.

CynicRaven ,

Called half splitting in troubleshooting terms when I was in the Navy.

CynicRaven ,

Is that…a Wii U in on the far right in the thumbnail?

CynicRaven ,

Honestly surprised the article phrased it that it was problems within the Republican membership and not just the entire house of representatives.

CynicRaven ,

Hell yes to Prydain but I’m not sure who would do it. I’m sure Disney associates it with their dark time in animation.

15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone? (blog.google)

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

CynicRaven ,

My first wasn’t even an actual android! I had an HTC touch pro running Haret that would reboot the phone into Android. Was so great despite the quirks and bugs since… well Windows Mobile has plenty of that going on anyway.

CynicRaven ,

They may mean crushed it like Google killed Fiber. :D

CynicRaven ,

Hey dude, Colossal Order and Paradox gave them salmonella, how could you be so callous!

CynicRaven ,

Which wouldn’t have necessarily been a death knell, except by the point Microsoft had gotten their eggs into the Windows Phone basket, major platforms had already started shutting down functionality that could be accessed through third party applications so the App Store/Play Store official versions were the clearly superior ways to use the platforms.

In many cases, like with reddit even, third party applications are how many people have preferred to access these platforms, so long as the platform doesn’t lock down the API to kneecap them.

CynicRaven ,

Big Data has both Dangerous videos that are good and also Unglued.

CynicRaven ,

I have two thirds of a name shared with a famous actress. It used to bug me that people would call it out all the time, and for a short period of time I even considered going by my middle name instead of my first name. Around the time I got married and people shifted the third part of the actress’s name to a verb I started to warm up to it, and nowadays I mostly consider it a bit of built-in name recognition and mnemonic for people remembering my name.

CynicRaven ,

Geeze, seriously? He also got massive mileage out of denigrating Monica Lewinsky.

CynicRaven ,

I haven’t played it but I have read that Diablo 4 has been mostly well received. I guess there’s been a fiasco about one of the updates to it, but that’s not something unique to Blizzard and theoretically could be fixed in another update, no?

CynicRaven ,

Thanks for posting the link and also for taking the correction in stride and fixing the submission removing the reference to summoningsalt. None of us are perfect and I’m always glad to see people work to conduct ourselves in a dignified, honorable manner.:)

CynicRaven ,

The migration from Play Music wasn’t great for me. There are multiple songs that for whatever reason used a random YouTube upload for the match rather than an existing official one.

CynicRaven ,

Fuck yeah! I was just thinking about this the other day. Like a singular mask for all political communities, one for pictures, etc. Almost how Gaim/Pidgin/Adium/Trillion did for the multitude of competing chat programs back in the day.

CynicRaven ,

lol you better not be dead in the next month or so!

I think Adium was, or now that I’m looking at Wikipedia became the OSX(as it was named at the time) implementation of Gaim/Pidgin. Was its own thing but started getting Gaim/Pidgin stuff implemented in it. Trillian, I think, was distinct because it was a closed source commercial product whereas the Gaim/Pidgin/Adium has always been an open source free kind of deal.

CynicRaven ,

I think even that stuff could be said to be results of stuff like Aisles working with Nixon, and Justice Lewis Powell’s memoranda. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.?wprov=s…
