Concerning indeed

I see the great minds are thinking alike

Eh possibly, but many of the women I've slept with have told me that I make them feel safe and that it's a huge turn on for them. Shocking, I know, that people might want to feel secure before they get intimate.

My reaction when I heard it was trending was to slap this together:

As a tall man who likes to walk at night, I have long understood that women alone at night do not wish to encounter me. So when I happen to find myself following a woman down the street, I will either slow down, cross the street, or stop and look at a sign or something for a minute to give her some space.

In a dangerous and shitty world, a person has to find subtle and quiet ways to express care, compassion, and solidarity. It costs me nothing to make a woman feel safer.

As one-hit wonderland would call it, "the failed follow-up" to Torn. Smoke's a great song too, a lot of similar vibes, not as good of a hook though. I'm astounded to see that she's still active in music, I'll have to check out some of her recent stuff!

I like how I know this story didn't happen anywhere close to me since: no one calls them "cycle paths", we hardly have any "bike lanes" anyway, and we definitely don't have any trains to ride while discussing biking.

Now, if this had been a story about guns, trucks, and psychopaths, it would have been very relatable.

The book is very good! I happened to catch wind of it right after it came out. Its a great mix of Visitor's personal experiences in TV, and her research and interviews with many women who've worked in Trek over the years. She writes well and the stories are both personal and educational about the history of the show and the medium.

46 LPs, holy hell, now that's a collection!!

Mmmmmm.... gonna just put this on the Christmas list for now...

LP24 / LP25 / LP26
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS, SS)

LP27
Castlevania: Bloodlines (GEN)*

Wow, just put those 4 on repeat all night DJ! A shame there's nothing from the Mercury-Steam games though, Lords of Shadow had some pretty good tracks.

He likens Arkane's approach to studios like Larian and FromSoftware: "Those are people that have been doing, over and over, the thing they know exactly how to do, until it hits super hard. So to me, that's what Arkane had to do."

Damn, what a concept: doing the same kind of game multiple times, iterating on the design to perfect it. Obviously Bethesda gets releasing the same game over and over again, but this idea of "improving" the design is so alien to them. Wouldn't adding thousands of microtransactions be an improvement?

I wanted to take a moment to thank @jet@hackertalks.com for the multiplayer server they set up! Tomorrow is the last day for it, and I thought I'd share some screenshots!

@badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev and myself managed to meet up online a few times and had a blast building up the factory! We got half-way into Tier 4, unlocked a lot of goodies in the MAM and the ticket booth! A few more days and we'd get to phase 3!

Sorry I never ran into you Jet, but if you decided to keep the server up for a little longer, I wouldn't complain. I'd pitch in some monetary support as well.

Anyway, here's some of the fun we had!

BadCodeCat glides over the moon.

The parking lot at night (yes, we unlocked the cybertruck, even parked it correctly!)

Close up of the skate park (for doing sick flips in the cart!) Back-to-the-Future-style hoverboards when, Coffee Stain?!

I rode the freighter up to get a high overhead view of things!

A final shot of the factory at night.

This was my first Satisfactory multiplayer experience (and kind of my first factory game MP at all!) and it was a great time! Thanks again for setting it up Jet, hope to catch you online some other time! And thanks to BadCodeCat for being an awesome Pioneer to work with (and taking many of these lovely picture!)

Someone posted an Evangelion joke elsewhere that reminded me of the incredible Propane Genesis Evengelion.

I was rewatching that when I ran across this brilliant parody in the same vein. There's a sequel for the closing theme as well.

 

I was scouting a high place to set up a radar when I noticed this great view! Couldn't quite get everything in (there's another factory off to the left, and my main/initial layout is directly under me, as evidenced by the space elevator) but I liked how my little empire looks, pockets of industry in a wild world.

I like also the evolution of my factory building as I unlocked parts and started to care more. From naked buildings on platforms at the far right (and below) to a roofless but walled factory in the distance, and then my most recent building in the mid-right distance. The only one so far with walls, floors, AND a frickin' ROOF! It's even got lights and windows! Yeah, we get a little fancy sometimes, haha.

How's your factory/empire looking?

 

From their 2003 debut album, Fire, which it pretty much is all the way through. I remember this song exists about once a year and binge it for a day.

Foster the People has a new album out, pretty good! Torches, their debut, is one of my favs, and I've enjoyed some of their later work too. This one definitely sounds like FtP, though I think there's a little more brass and other jazzy sounds being pulled in. I haven't listened enough to have any album picks yet.

Have you listened yet? What tracks did you like best? What's your favorite FtP song?

I had wondered about how some things were done with the new episodes. I'm glad they released some documention and kept the standardization so that the rest of the broader Doom community can build off the new release.
