Sony’s PlayStation Portal gives a confusing first impression
  • I suspect I'm pretty much the only market for this thing. I can play while in bed, which is where most of switch gaming currently happens. The price is probably reasonable for what it cost them, but they need to explain why anyone besides me would want one.

  • Ohio’s Catholic Dioceses spent at least $1.7 million to fight Issue 1. The church lost
  • I wonder if they consulted all of the people their priests raped before spending potential settlement money on this?

    Celibate all male priest-hood, yea what an amazing idea. Dipshits. US catholic charities do a better job of actually offering the services that hardline protestant churches don't bother with, but the catholic church abdicated it's moral authority on issues like this when it specifically and cynically sacrificed it's own parishioners to preserve the illusion of a caring and wise church.

  • US Senate circumvents Tuberville holds and confirms new Air Force head, first female on Joint Chiefs
  • “So I asked Jesus, should I do my job or should I hold a nation’s military hostage? Jesus said ‘no comprendo’ and went back to mowing my lawn. That was my sign from god that I should be a useless barnacle instead of doing my so-called job.”

  • Krull (1983)
  • It's a fun movie, and the musical score is kind of impressive in one very specific way. Do you like musical flourishes? They put flourishes in your flourishes so that you can flourish while you flourish. Er... The score is very unusual, which makes it kind of fun.

  • Why do you hate Microsoft?
  • Meh, hate the game, not the player. I've spent half a life and my whole career adjacent to MS, my anger about their products and practices has long since turned to cynical acceptance. Yes, they have over stepped the bounds of fairness and good taste many times, but I've seen other vendors do so much worse. If you don't like Microsoft products, advocate for something else. The bottom of the bottle is that Microsoft has a duty to pursue profit for it's shareholders, and some of that will be ugly. These days there are workable alternatives for everything they sell, which wasn't always the case.

  • Wisest Upgrade from Raspberry Pi
  • Pretty much this. There is a significant learning curve to kubernetes (or similar, I guess?), but it's a handy skill to be familiar with. If things basically run but with degraded performance on one raspberry, there is no real need for a vertical performance increase. Adding the second will provide almost double capacity, with some HA added for fun.

  • Zelda producer says there are no plans for Tears of the Kingdom DLC
  • This does not surprise me, and I'm not even very disappointed. TotK is essentially DLC, more of the same would have felt cheap. TotK gameplay has some new and interesting elements, but it still feels like BotW with extra stuff. And that's fine, I loved BotW.

    The heart of BotW was traversing Hyrule, the map was the central puzzle (sometimes even the enemy). Once Link powers up with stamina, abilities, gear, and teleport locations, the game starts feeling empty. Because at the same time as you're powering up, you're removing reasons to have to travel (by completing quests and such) over the map and removing the main challenge.

    The first thing I noticed about TotK was how little I had to fight with the terrain. I was still interacting with the map in a fun way, particularly because of vehicles, but it was trivially easy to do. Aside from the depths being locked behind chasms, there isn't anywhere you can't go easily if you want to. I started travelling overland when I didn't have to, but I didn't have to.

    If they re-tread this Hyrule again, I hope they do Zelda's Time Sage story. Legend of Zelda without Link's skillset would be a totally different way to interact with the map.

    Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to the next version of Hyrule.
