I don't know if it applies here, but sometimes I get the impression people buy games in order to not recommend them, which is some insane behavior. You'll see low hours at review time and then months later they haven't even refunded within the allowable window.

Surely some or most people figure it out (AI slop textures in this case) too late, but it's not all the negative reviews. Especially because this was known about ahead of time and Aspyr is infamously shit.

    I wish they sold egg nog in shot glass quantities. I only ever want about that amount.

    Don't really get sick of anything recently. I keep the variety up with food. When I was young I would eat the same breakfast every morning to the point I never ate toaster waffles ever again to this day, and breakfast sausage eventually caused a nausea response just by smelling it. Up to a decade after I last ate a link at the time. I can now, but it's unhealthy so that's not very often. School was a long time ago for me.

    Folding@Home for protein folding simulations to cure diseases. Probably newer examples, so I'll say medical research and simulation, vaguely.

    I've admittedly accelerated my competence in daily driving Linux by using LLM like a search engine. I'm struggling to come up with much else that's positive. Even that's kinda neutral. It's only true because search engines got worse for a myriad of reasons.

    I have a local option, a small three screen theatre with reasonablly priced snacks even. The big corps charge out the ass like that but small towns get Magic Lantern theatres, pretty sweet.

    Yes, but to a lesser extent now that everyone is focused on the young kids since I'm in my 30's. I still enjoy reunions, but I won't go camping if there's gonna be a group of five year olds there for example.

    I don't tell them this, just you guys :p

    spoilerThat could be true, especially since changeling Bashir is active on the station then and didn't interfere. Also I think the 16 hour fatigue thing is unique to Odo and most skilled changelings don't have that limitation? Or the forced form is like a cast and didn't tire Odo out. Plus skilled can mimic internal organs and brain patterns clearly even if Odo normally couldn't or didn't bother.

    I see Github takedowns in a similar light to Google YouTube strikes. There's no humanity or any attempt at defending creators, just spineless or bot corporate actions. Usually bots.

    A fool uses Github for spicy code now. Like a 14 year old recompiling OOT with Claude from what I hear.

    I'd assume some useless forks that weren't renamed or active. Or redundant secondary mirrors.

    The active Switch 1 repos are all self hosted now:

    Ryujinx continuations:

    https://git.ryujinx.app/projects/Kenji-NX

    https://git.ryujinx.app/Ryubing

    Yuzu continuations:

    https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden

    Edit: i think suyu fork is maybe dead.

    I'm surprised Nintendo isn't going after all the Switch 2 slopulators or static recompiles yet. I don't think they violate DMCA because they work differently, not decrypting anything or using keys, but it's Microsoft in the USA.

    I'm a big fan of zeolite cat litter and the litter box system with absorption pee pads beneath. I've tried all the things over the years. I hate clay especially.

    Despite the initially high upfront cost to get started, I think it's cheaper long term. Even more so because I recycle the zeolite pellets by rinsing them in a big bin instead of throwing them out and buying more. I dry them out then stir in baking soda. It's a porous mineral formed into pellets, doesn't break down just gets dirty over time. You lose some over time of course, lodged in turds and kicked out, fodder for the vacuum, but it's so cheap and way cleaner. The two cats aren't tracking that heavy pellet all over the house like clumping clay or urine soaked wood pellets that disintegrate into pee mulch. Ew.

    The pee pads aren't very green of me so maybe next step is figuring out an alternative absorption medium to put in the tray beneath the pellets.

    So I'm not recommending any brands because they'd all hate me for not being wasteful and fully replacing pellets every month like their bags instruct. Zeolite is zeolite, buy the cheapest per KG that day. I'd just say avoid Purina/Tidy Cats brand when possible. They over charge, especially for pee pads.

    We released Dolphin 2609b on 7 November 2026. You can find the full change log below.  
    
        Fixed an issue which causes Dolphin to crash on Windows if the time zone is set to "Mountain Time (Alberta)" or "Pacific Time (British Columbia)".  
            In older versions of Dolphin, this crash can be avoided by temporarily changing the time zone to "Mountain Time (US or Canada)" or "Pacific Time (US or Canada)".  
        Fixed an issue where colors are corrupted on Adreno GPUs when using driver versions 0.7xx.xx+.  
        Fixed an issue where adjusting any slider control on Windows and macOS can cause Dolphin to crash.  
        Fixed an issue where Dolphin on macOS did not support any UI languages other than English due to missing translation files.  
        Fixed an issue where loading a corrupted graphics mod can cause Dolphin to crash.  
        Fixed an issue where Driver: San Francisco can freeze during loading screens.  
            We added a patch in 2509-519 to cap this game's frame rate (for more information, refer to the Dolphin Progress Report: Release 2512).  
            Unfortunately, this game contains the MetaFortress anti-piracy system, which detects the patch and determines that the game has been tampered with.  
            We have decided to remove the patch temporarily so that the game can at least function.  
    
    Here are the security patches in this hotfix release.  
    
        Fixed an issue where loading a maliciously crafted LZO-compressed save state file can cause Dolphin to write beyond the boundaries of a buffer.  
        Fixed an issue where loading a maliciously crafted FIFO log can cause Dolphin to write beyond the boundaries of a buffer.  
    
    Hotfix Release 2609a  
    
    We released Dolphin 2609a on 7 October 2026. You can find the full change log below.  
    
        Added a prompt on Android to request permission for local network access while using NetPlay.  
            This permission is not required if you only want to play with others over the internet.  
        Approved additional codes and patches in various games for use with RetroAchievements in hardcore mode.  
        Fixed an issue on Google Play where Dolphin was accidentally listed as compatible with 32-bit ARM devices.  
            32-bit ARM support was removed in 2015. We have no plans to re-introduce support.  
        Fixed a bug which caused the settings menu to crash on Android 9.0 (Pie) and older.  
        Fixed a bug where a GameCube controller plugged into port 1 of a GameCube Controller Adapter did not work in NetPlay.  
        Fixed a bug which could cause games to crash at boot on macOS.  
    
    Here are the security patches in this hotfix release.  
    
        Fixed a bug where attempting to assemble certain syntactically invalid source causes Dolphin to crash.  
        Fixed a bug where a malicious NetPlay host could cause clients in a room to reserve an excessive amount of RAM.  
        Fixed a bug where a malicious NetPlay host could cause clients in a room to write part of their memory into a file on the Wii NAND.  
        Fixed a bug where a maliciously crafted save state could cause Dolphin to write outside of a buffer when loaded.

    And you can’t take it back  
    So cool down  
    We got too much to lose now  
    So don’t you say something you’ll regret  
    I know you’re seeing red

    Who’s wrong and who’s right  
    You’re so in your head  
    You flipped and you made a villain instead  
    Can I change your mind  
    By blurring the lines  
    Get out of the wringer  
    I can convince you it’s not black and white  
    
    Never thought it would get this bad  
    We always said we were ride or die yeah  
    Look, your temper is up  
    Your head’s getting hot

    So cold when your eyes go dark  
    Look, your temper is up  
    Your head’s getting hot  
    
    And there’s nothing I can do to calm you down  
    At the point of no return with no way out
