Spastche··on Getting into Pinball
maybe it's due to the Gravitram at OMSI? I loved watching that thing as a kid and love pinball to the point where I'm tempted to DIY my own machine.
Spastche··on Unity's Just Not into You, Indie Developer
Valve seems like the only company that would do this reasonably. but they've got better money makers to deal with
Spastche··on ‘Stop Making Sense’ Is Back, and Talking Heads Have More to Say
Spalding Gray is amazing in that
Spastche··on ‘Full Metal Jacket’ Seduced My Generation and Sent Us to War
this has "conservative who listens to rage against the machine" vibes. ...did they pay attention AT ALL?
Spastche··on One CTO's quest to never type “the” again
Trying to eliminate words is like trying to eliminate punctuation.
Spastche··on Ask HN: Who can I discuss ideas/ projects with?
if you're a bit older, IRC is the place to go.

Safeway is not safe for your wallet
Spastche··on How the Army tried and failed to build a bicycle corps (2020)
"Bad Teeth No Bar" gave me a chuckle
Spastche··on A Gentle Introduction to IMAP
*that you know of
Spastche··on A Gentle Introduction to IMAP
email blacklisting could be considered a walled garden at this point. big providers are the only real option if you want guaranteed delivery these days. people will say otherwise but you don't always know when you're blacklisted by an email provider
Spastche··on New research finds that fully remote workers are less productive
"could be less productive"

whats the chances whoever wrote this has never been in an "open office" before? I can hear everyone's personal conversations and it's distracting as hell

also the example is an indian city, just in my experience there's definitely a productivity culture gap with other popular offshoring countries, not sure about india but there's so many factors at play here. remote works well for me, as a single homeowner with no distractions at thome

Spastche··on Elon Musk accused of taking X account from Gene X Hwang: ‘They just took it’
look at the fall of freenode in the past year or two for a similar situation
Spastche··on Hipgnosis, the designers who changed the record sleeve
the one thing I think makes Coil stand out from everything else is just... they knew how their equipment works. The sounds they can get out of their gear is amazing, there's really nothing like them, even TG and PTV can't really match in terms of timbre / sound design / whatever you want to call it.
Spastche··on Threads is losing active and engaged users. I think I know why
On facebook, I get stuff on my feed from random police departments halfway across the country, and bizarre comics from foreign countries with a different sense of humor. It's really bizarre.
Spastche··on Ask HN: Who's the current “Don't Be Evil” corporation?
Arizona Iced Tea
Spastche··on The working-from-home illusion fades
I can't read the whole thing but who published the original paper probably says it all:

>published in May by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

is it just me or do they have an interest in people going back into office? How much do they have in commercial real estate that's probably in the toilet right now?

Spastche··on Debris found came from missing Titan sub, says friend of passengers
this is the first I've heard of that but it would not surprise me one bit
Spastche··on What is it like to be a man?
a lot of ball adjustments on a sweaty day
Spastche··on SimCity 4 was released 20 years ago
I think that's the most common complaint about the game, hopefully they fix it in the next one.
Spastche··on The 90s style art for this code game is incredible
reminds me of the Ultima Online install screen
Spastche··on YouTube, the jewel of the internet
agreed. I've found some great music from youtube's algorythym (niche and rare old music comes up ALL THE TIME for some reason I don't understand but I'm not gonna argue), and it's definitely better than the youtube shorts one, which shows me bullshit all the time, whereas my main feed is mostly relevant stuff.
Spastche··on Popular porn site must delete all amateur videos posted without consent
I don't remember that but it wouldn't surprise me
Spastche··on Popular porn site must delete all amateur videos posted without consent
not the same as my example at all. WHOIS information is already out there, mods on the sub are like "yeah we agree it was wrong, go ahead and ban evade we don't care, the admins fucked up"
Spastche··on Popular porn site must delete all amateur videos posted without consent
reddit admins have banned popular users for posting public WHOIS information. it's ridiculous.
Spastche··on Database “sharding” came from Ultima Online?
Rust matches the hardcore harshness of it

I wish I could find a game more on the "numbers go up" / programming side of things. I think I enjoyed macroing in UO more than anything about it, just writing my own scripts to raise skills. I automate webgames sometimes when I'm bored, but even that's not quite the same.

Maybe I'll reinstall UO this weekend and play a player server.

Spastche··on Denver’s e-bike subsidy program produced more new riders, fewer car trips
used and self financed costs out a majority of those costs
Spastche··on ‘It took over my life ’ How one man made his dream 90s video game on his own
Pirates! but vaguely Tailspin / 1930s / Temple of Doom would be brilliant.
Spastche··on Why do modern pop songs have so many credited writers?
this is worth watching too

Spastche··on Facebook Announces Meta Verified
seems like needless rent-seeking for a dying company
Spastche··on A Pigeon Was Dyed. Then It Died. Now the Police Are Investigating
dying pigeons is a tradition in Spain, there's perfectly safe ways to do it (not sure what they use in Spain, but Koolaid is perfectly fine for pets), but someone using a toxic dye for a gender reveal deserves the worst.
