It's kinda funny that in modern English Austria and Australia get their names easily confused, because Australia comes from Australis, the latin word for "south", but Austria comes from Ostarrîchi, the Old High German word for "Eastern realm"

emulation is a golden example of the rule that you can fix anything in programming by adding a layer of abstraction

It'd kinda be interesting to see a remaster of one of the donkey kong country games (or some other prerendered-sprite-graphic game) in modern HD. (ofc who knows if any of the original models were kept or if they'd survive being seen at high resolution but)

Me: Oh, this is a really nice didone serif monospace font. (New Heterodox Mono) It even has a decent loop size on e to make it easy to distinguish from c. Also me: It doesn't have old style figures though Still me:

Man. C++ finally starts to get serious compile-time type reflection just in time for all the major compilers to turn into slop. This is such a depressing time to like computers.

i make fun of webcomic artists that are still stuck in the 20th century but if I can just click two links and read a Kevin & Kell strip from 1995 maybe they know what they're doing

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: the mutant overlord Apocalypse has an arabic name - En Sabah Nur - despite being born before the Arabic language appeared, and the name not being correct Arabic anyway. It would make sense that people predating the creation of Arabic would not speak it very well.

The weirdest variety of sloplord I've run into is the type who seems to sincerely believe that they're the only one doing it right so their slop isn't actually slop, but all the other sloplords are in fact sloplords making slop.

HBO distinctly factored in piracy in its "our show is popular" ratings. Like, they publicly said they did not support piracy, but they also notably stated that its popularity (and thus merchandising) was based on torrents. So, basically, "do not touch".

For years and years I thought the cover art for Earthbound was really bad but then I realized that you can see Ness reflected in the monster's visor and now I think it is good

Earthbound recreation label by Reddit user G4560 based on scans by Near. I'd rather have used Near's unmodified original, but I can't find it. Near isn't on the Internet anymore.

I've been using an ortholinear split ergo keyboard for close to six months now as my main. Went back to staggered unsplit (and even worse, staggered unsplit with a nonstandard stagger because it's based on a weird 1970s keyboard) and it's so weird my hands feel all cramped together.

Screenshot from the Wikipedia page for “deely bobber” with photo captioned “This cat's head is too small for this deely bobber.”

The pic depicts a hand holding a headband, which has a pair of silver balls on antennas, being held up in front of a untrusting cat.

I've always felt like "clanker" is an attempted psyop in the same vein as "AI must be stopped... because it's SO GOOD IT WILL KILL US". It's an attempt at creating a controlled opposition that buys into all of the sloplords' fundamental premises.
