Correct me if I’m wrong, but Genesis/Mega Drive games ran at 320x240px - right?

So we could theoretically fit 12x9 (108) games at the same time on one 4K screen.

…now I kinda want to see that in action!

Pretty much; classic, textbook Dunning-Kruger Effect in action.

Given the relative dystopia we find ourselves in, I honestly think a TV adaptation of The Running Man might be quite fitting? Something of a cross between Ninja Warrior, Gladiators and Squid Game.

Given the current US administration, there’s an equal chance of it being fictional or an actual live-action game show featuring migrant ‘runners’ and masked ICE agent ‘stalkers’.

Movies and TV shows are modern art forms, and as such are created by artists.

Artists have almost always been politically left of centre, usually wildly so.

Video games have likewise been ‘woke’ for a long fucking time too - but don’t you dare try to make that point to Gamers^TM.

I will be very disappointed if that is the case; more than just the main character, he is the actual name of the show!

Never thought I’d find myself in agreement with The Dark Lord, yet here I am…

I’m counting down the months until my work relocates to our new head office. I can say goodbye to the 35-75 minute commute (each way), and have a reliable ~60min train ride.

Sure it might take longer, overall - but I’ll be able to relax by reading a book, taking a nap or playing a game. I’d much rather that than deal with the anxiety of bumper-to-bumper traffic in a sea of SUVs filled with inattentive drivers.

I literally drive past at least one accident every day on my way to work. The Monash Highway in Victoria, IYKYK.

Have the same question, but hazarding a guess - the rule of thumb would be using the bottom of the cells as guide?

You remember those old “In Soviet Russia” backwards jokes? It’s like that, but unironically.

Putin has consolidated power to the point that he doesn’t serve at the behest of Russian billionaires; they only exist due to his whims - and they can cease to exist just as quickly.

‘Blowout’ by Rachel Maddow touches on this, it’s an interesting read/listen.

Yeah, that’s basically it - there’s a small removable filter/container in between the two vegetable drawers that you fill up with water.

It then pumps the water into an ice tray in the freezer, and dispenses ice into a tray every few hours.

Edit - it looks like this:

We’re likely in a similar boat, due to the size of our fridge nook. We had the LG 530L French Door Fridge Stainless Steel GF-B505PL previously, that the compressor failed in.

I’d you aren’t already, you should be pulling the fridge out every six months or so and cleaning behind it to keep the compressor free from dust bunnies.

We managed to just squeeze in a Hitachi 638L 4 Door French Door Fridge in the same space, even though it juts out by ~10cm - the added 100L capacity (and bonus unplumbed ice maker) was worth the trade-off.

Just be aware, LG’s linear compressors (ie. the ones that claim a 10yr warranty) are prone to failure; ours crapped out after ~3 years and was deemed uneconomical to repair.

Thankfully we have pretty strong consumer protections in Australia (and I expect similar, or better in the EU for OP); so we ended up getting a full refund from the retailer which we ended up putting towards a Hitachi model, after way too much research.

It’s even more egregious than that; I’m pretty sure a court ruled a while ago that international airports count as borders too, for the purposes of ICE.

In a similar vein to ‘Only Murders In The Building’, with a likeable enough cast and adequate writing, viewers are more than happy to overlook the plot contrivances to necessary keep the premise of the show going.

They’re great also (have a Silent Power 10 in my NAS); definitely a step up from what you had before! 😄

Well worth investing in a Seasonic unit, either directly branded or a unit that they OEM for other companies (Phanteks, in my case).

Not only do they offer a ridiculously long warranty (10+ years), they are basically the industry standard when it comes to smooth, reliable power delivery.

They may be on the more expensive side for any given wattage range - but given that they power EVERY component in your system, it is one part you should never cheap out on.

We need both; even if passionate developers are put in charge of projects — they are still likely to be stymied by an overly conservative C-suite.

Successful ‘weird games’ in conjunction with indies would lead to a positive feedback loop in the industry and allow for more creativity across the board.
