  • My favorite puzzle game of all time, but it's not really Tetris.

  • Both buttons for a toilet clogging doo doo

  • I never saw anything but two dinos.

  • Fuck yes, that road has needed an improvement / speed limit reduction for a long time now, especially the stretch just south of Parmer where the speed limit is a very high 50 MPH (people will drive much faster than that). A bunch of apartments were built there in the past 5 years but the road wasn't modified to offer a protected way to turn into/out of them across potentially 3-6 lanes of traffic.

  • As far as I'm concerned, RAGE is a modern game. It even looks and plays like a modern game, so it can't really be retro.

    To call it retro is like saying League of Legends is retro because it came out in 2009.

  • It's worse than eating fast food everyday lol

  • Babe, let's play Stardew Valley IRL like omg

  • Looks like most people didn't care enough for VIII, huh?

  • What do you use as your controller? I got an Anbernic handheld now but I've always been curious/intrigued by just running them on a phone, I just never quite found any of the control methods quite satisfactory.

  • Weird, the K4's latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

  • Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updates to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

  • Or even a kangaroo, those things can be scary af. Forget about anything bigger.

  • AFAIK they're large chips though, and larger generally is more performance but also much more expensive to manufacture.

  • Wouldn't adding a bunch of extra features to an ARM CPU make it become less power efficient and more like x86?

    I've heard that ARM isn't inherently more power efficient in some special way over x86, x86 has just been around so long and has had so many extra instructions added to it over the years, but that's what allows it to do so much / be so performant. If you took an ARM CPU and did the same you'd have roughly the same performance/watt.

  • 30 fl oz is A LOT of beverage, a normal sized energy drink is more like 8-16 fl oz, and usually has only 100-200 mg caffeine tops. I've noticed a lot of 300 mg drinks start to get phased out in favor of drinks that only have 120 mg, which is actually a pretty reasonable amount for an adult.

    For instance, I'm about 190 lbs and I need close to 250 mg to adequately feel its effects for exercise, and there are studies that show this is an appropriate amount (mg/lb) for exercise benefits.

    However, even though 30 fl oz with 390 mg is about in line with the smaller drinks for caffeine/volume, I think ideally they should just not offer such a large size drink.

  • Can the award be given out if you just commit suicide? I think it's reserved for very special, unintentional deaths lol

  • How so? You just push the seat back and get out, it'll be about as much of an issue as a normal (very cramped) seat.

  • No you can't

    Chrono Cross and Trigger arrangement: "Lost Orphan"

    I absolutely love the Chrono series, and just replayed Chrono Cross recently via the new "remaster".

    While playing, I had a piano intro idea for the song, "Burning Orphanage", and decided to try working it into a full song. It eventually evolved into this, kind of a prog rock song with piano being the main driver, but there are electric guitar parts, organs, synths, mellotron choir, and rock drums. I also realized that I could smoothly transition into the song "Silent Light" from Chrono Trigger, so I incorporated that as the second, slower half.

    The progression of the song is recounting Kid's trauma of surviving Lynx's attack on the orphanage (Burning Orphanage), but then feeling lost and alone after her escape (Silent Light) and eventually kind of finding peace but never forgetting.

    The actual scene from the game is one of the most heart breaking and climactic events from the whole series, IMO, and I wanted to try giving it even a fraction of justice.

    It's currently still a work
