New plan: become an elite athlete, take advantage of free healthcare every 4 years. It’s honestly a better plan than my current one, which is to pay 16k every year for healthcare, only to be too scared of extra fees to use it.
I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don’t always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.

I was thinking more of an open API of how the game interacts with multiplayer services, so that in theory anyone could setup a server, or server services. In practice I completely agree with you though. Nobody wants to do the whole “Oh wait, you’re on that server? I have an account with that other server” thing. Steam, or some other party, would just become the defacto place.
Oh, it would be super fun if you’re into the game, as long as it doesn’t become a job, which it might.
I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.
That being said, before that happens, as a developer I’d be like: here’s a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you’re now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.
But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.
That’s such a capitalist way of thinking. “The daycare down the street is never going to compete with ABC Baby Slaughter as long as their rates are higher!”
Non EV owners can’t grok how convenient home charging is, and the reality that station charging is a general rarity.
I actually don’t think it is a deal breaker. How many 300+mi road trips does a person take? So what if it takes longer a few days out of the year?
And you can always prioritize fast charging when shopping EVs, if that’s important. We knew full well we weren’t getting the fastest charging EV when we bought ours. But, like I said, it was fine on our big trip, and really we didn’t stop more often than we usually do, even if our stops were a bit linger, and it didn’t have a negative impact.
EV owner in the US with home charger. It’s the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it’s all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I’m always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we’re supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there’s a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it’s not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don’t like about the CCS plug is that they’re so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there’s that to look forward to.
We feed them to our chickens 😝🐔
Went on vacation. Felt like I wasn’t really able to enjoy it. Decided to go off my meds and had a good day. Came back and immediately went depressive. Back on my meds now. 🤷
Yea, that sounds like it sucked. Glad it didn’t happen to me.
Actually not bad. Lots of unique colors and features that are easy to spot.
Oh man, I loved my Surface Pro 3. I used it as my main device for home and work for years. Not invalidating your experience… I’ve used devices that others thought were great that I thought were garbage.
Is there anyone who likes reading code more than writing it?
Omg, did you just invent MicroAI’s? I love it. Huge potential.
There was a place on Venice beach called Rose’s Thai Window which had the best pad Thai. You could get it mild, medium, spicy, or ‘Rose spicy’, which is how she made it for herself. Whenever we tried to order it Rose spicy, she would flat out tell us no. On the last day the place was open, before she moved back to Thailand, she finally made it for us. I lasted literally 2 bites before I couldn’t taste anything anymore, except pain.
Yes, it’s the embarrassment that’s really important here. 🙄
