I loved Van Helsing. It was seriously brain dead entertainment but action was great and the effects were good. I loved The Brothers Grimm, that came out the year after, better though. Horror movie, comedy, action. I passed that movie over back then because of the critics, so took a few more years until I actually got to see it.

What alternatives to git are popular-ish these days?

Before I was introduced to git, i had only tried Microsofts SVN server and it was a crap experience compared to git. Git just clicked with me, i fell instantly in love with it. It was fast and logical. And its file merging worked great. The only drawback was the program command args, it was hard to understand. So I relied a lot on GUI apps. And still do because I suck at memorizing more complex commands and args and at navigating the history graph with only colored ascii text.

Thats an irrational fear. You should be more afraid of sharks. If they get into your house, they WILL delete your code.

Downloaded installer or MSStore? I had an issue for a short time (a single version then it got fixed) where only the Store version caused system stuttering.

Also maybe, you haven't messed with Windows virtual memory page sizing?

Once I can pick and choose my body and change it on a whim, and it feels like my body, Im gonna end up staying in VR unhealthily much.

Even with the tech we have today, when I first used VR and selected a body for something like VRChat, I started feeling like the body was my own. You know the "fake hand" experiment? Something like that. But the illusion is quickly destroyed as soon as I touch something or movement dont match up. And the effect gets weaker for each time.

It was such a cool feeling. I want it again.

I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on reddit and hope anyone corrects me if I'm wrong. Works great imho.

Not ChatGPT, but other new AI stuff is likely to take a few jobs. Actors and voice-actors among other.

I have come over a few Reddit communities who moved to Discord of all things. I don't get why. That isn't even remotely the same type of discussion platform.

Punching down? It was intended to be a relatively tame joke about the world have been small for quite a while, and pre-emptively make light of those who would think this "being too easily offended" is a relatively new thing. Im sorry if I failed to communicate this correctly.

I doubt they do Scandinavian layouts?

I would love a modern C64-themed keyboard myself.

We need only two buttons, 1 and 0. A bit slow to write on though.

Understandable really.

I do miss the time we could joke about something in a faraway land, and by the time it reached them many months later by word of mouth it would have mutated into something more culturally acceptable. We should never have invented the printing press.

I'm pretty sure theres been a lot of christian Bible burnings, theres even YT videos of a few. I cant find anyone claiming all christians are brutal ass-backwards murderers but it probably exist. Not that anyone cares enough to cause a diplomatic issue just for that. Also the "christians" burns other "christians" Bible's too ocassionally, just because of slight differences. Probably a big reason why nobody cares anymore.

I dont know how useful it would be. I've read some of the Bible and it seems VERY separated from the morality of real life christians.

Its still better quality on the writing than the average comicbook story. And I still enjoyed the comics. So doubt I gonna tire of it before its so unpopular with the average person that Marvel can't afford making them any longer.

TIL Muditā is a dharmic concept of joy, referring particularly to an especially sympathetic or vicarious joy, or the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being.

Crash my car into a rock wall at 30 km/h. I'm glad I had dropped off my passenger because the passenger side no longer had leg space.

For me its less of a contract and more of a built-in instinct. I feel physically ill if I think I unfairly annoy or hindering someone. I dont get why others feel like its only a contract, one which they can break if they want to. But they can and I have accepted it. So I dont despair, they are only human (and so am I).

Huh. Got a nonsense reply like this when I was ranting on reddit too. One person who suddenly claimed "so you just admitted you cheated" when theres nothing in the post about actually admitting cheating. A bot who cant read properly? 😂

I was instantly permabanned for adding RAM to my computer while having the game installed. First game I've ever been banned before. And instantly permanent? I would think there would be a warning at least! I wonder how many else are falsely banned.. Because @kadu@lemmy.world have a point, it used to be those who cheated who complained, and this makes it difficult for a faulty cheat detection to be picked up by the devs. More so when they think "they have fixed it" after the first time a wave got falsely banned.

I spent a day really angry about it, ranting on reddit. Was pretty shocked from it. Then I calmed down and figured I didnt enjoy that game enough to take it further.
