Gorth

First generation Intel Pentium processors would probably have arrived at: 2 + 2 = 3.99999999999999999 😁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug

There is case modding and there is case modding... 😂 I wonder if this PS5 isn't going to overheat inside all that polystyrene or whatever it is she made it out of 🤔

Australia... the aircraft carrier that doesn't sink 😝

'Plot Armor' 😂

For a computer: 00000010 + 00000010 = 00000100 When the end result is right but the way to the result not what was intended: 2 * 2 = 4... When integers are too simple (2 + 0i) + (2 + 0i) = (4 + 0i) Add more...

Trump, Bolsonaro Modi, Orban... the four horsemen of the apocalypse bringing about the death of civilization 😝

I know the feeling. For me it's more a trip down the transcontinental highway with all the memories that has piled up over more than half a century. Sometimes wondering if that little 4 year old Gorth from my memories was real or just a figment of my imagination (of course similar when thinking back to teenage Gorth etc.)

What's wrong with the swamp? I love swamps in crpgs 😟

Anya's original design (from another one off work). A character named 'Ashe'

I would have failed the lingon berry test too 😳

I'm just about to buy tickets for a friend and I for a Halestorm concert in early February next year. We've seen them once before in Australia. That was just before Covid struck, so the last concert for quite a while any of us went to. Looking forward to pick up on regular concert/musical/theater etc. going again.

Moved a few posts from the Ukraine thread, as it was unrelated to events there...

As far as I know, nobody has touched Juice Media at the time of writing. Somebody who did get prosecuted: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/mar/17/friendlyjordies-producer-kristo-langker-considers-civil-action-over-nsw-arrest The charges came just weeks after Barilaro sued Langker’s boss, the FriendlyJordies’ comedian Jordan Shanks, for defamation over what he described as a series of “vile and racist” videos that had brought him into “public disrepute, odium, ridicule and contempt”. .. But police last week sensationally dropped the case, with the NSW police ordered to pay costs of $12,000 to Langker’s legal team. The tl;dr; the pretext was "stalking" because they follow the politicians (in public spaces) and document their activities Edit: The police effectively just barged in, knocked his mother over and handcuffed him, dragging him to a cell Video footage uploaded to YouTube of the arrest includes a period of commotion in which the camera is lowered, and his mother can be heard exclaiming she was knocked over and that a police officer had assaulted her. A police officer can be heard in the video denying that accusation, saying he tripped over. Edit2: NSW (a state in Australia) is ruled by the same party as Scott Morrison, the Australian Liberal Party. Hence why this takes place in NSW

Why do I have this nagging suspicion, that action was only taken by the New Delhi cops, after getting pressured by Austrian police?

My mouth has occasionally gotten me into trouble (since early childhood), but I wouldn't change my nature to appease a government. Besides, the current government isn't too bad. Those who got arrested were more prominent Youtube mini-celebs who called out the corruption of the right wing government. It wasn't only the few independent media, that Morrsion sic'ed the federal police on in order to silence them.

1) I haven't finished the game yet (in act v, working my way towards a place called Iz, slowly and steadily) and 2) I never played "real" rpgs, as in actual table top gaming sessions with a DM. But, while struggling through puzzles and getting increasingly annoyed (to put it very mildly, I'll leave out the cussing) with the number and complexity of them, I remember friends from my youth who did play table top rpg. One thing they discussed once was puzzles. If your character has Int 32, the character should be able to solve the puzzle for the player. The character should not struggle just because the player doesn't have Int 32. Similar 4th wall breaking stuff doesn't seem to happen with other stats. Ah, your barbarian needs to remove that boulder at the entrance? Be a good sport and go out in the garden and pick up a 200kg rock to show the player can do it just as well as his character 🙄 At least let Nenio or some other high Int character give you more clues to the solution (instead of google).

Unfortunately that doesn't apply to Australia

Speaking of Lindsey Buckingham... probably my favourite Lindsey Buckingham "moment"? (yes, I know I posted this song some years ago, but probably long enough, that most people forgot I posted it)

If a statement is part truth, part lies, all spin. Just pick parts to believe, parts to dismiss, ignore all of it 👍 Edit: That's my inner programmer speaking. Information systems are only as good as their data...

Maybe the way to save the UK is to get rid of parliament and re-introduce direct royal rule. Of course, they tried that 500 years ago and it backfired. For a decade the UK was not a democracy nor a monarchy but effectively a theocracy (Cromwell was a religious fanatic)

Murdoch Media... extremely dangerous to democracy. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

I have nothing to say about that

Ehh... it just prevented SA athletes from participating. I doubt it changed anyone's mind in the SA government (they probably couldn't care less about athletes)

When a Royal Air Force pilot snaps...

Maybe the firefighters got drafted into the army (no manpower left for control fires) 😁
