It was Oblivion they re-released recently. :)

TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That’s so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.

It took me a minute! I think “Community College.”

Oftentimes they have a much more open layout where anybody can just walk onto the campus. Pro tip though: They’re way cheaper for getting a ton of prerequisites out of the way. XD

@Tollana1234567@lemmy.today correct me if I’m wrong? Haha

…and I will NOT stand for it!. . . Won’t stand for much, lately. It hurts.

That sounds AWESOME. I was just thinking of those little replacement motion sensor switches you sometimes see in public buildings but this sounds way cooler.

…Also sounds perfect for my other wishlist project: To make a vent system like this for the litter box to siphon all that inevitable dust and stank. X_X A sensor relay like that sounds PERFECT.

Not to be a mega newb but, know where I might start to look for something like this? 😅

LOL. Meanwhile I’m scheming to replace the switch in their bathroom with a motion sensor, because my housemates will just routinely stink up the entire hallway and shuffle back to bed. Like the switch is RIGHT THERE?! C’MON‽

All about that dubious lookin’ Kirby Shrek 😂

That’s so cool. It has such “this is fine” meme vibes but… It’s actually fine. XD

No way! That ladybird beetle is HUGE!!! O.O

Hugs, blessings, and prayers for you, my friend. It’s never easy when our fuzzy family has to leave us. :( He seems like a really lovely cat who loved you dearly. ❤️

This is SO cool. I love that digital punk vibe that harks back to the cool days of the old web…

Brilliant! The expression, the feline, the composition, everything. Lovely shot. :D

Nice blep capture!! 💯

Lol. Lmao, even.

ROFL, perhaps!

I’ve even tried running models on my local machine just to see what the hype was about. I spent a ton of time watching my GPU spit out things that were…interesting and novel for a bit, but ultimately realized it was just wasting my time with petty novelty, I could NEVER in my right mind attribute my own “skill” to any part of this process.

My time was better spent going back to struggling learning to draw and continuing to study Blender, even as the prophets of the Ai apocalypse hype machine denounce my futility in persisting to become an accomplished human artist that expresses my soul.

I want my affordable hardware back! I’d rub that genie lamp and replace GenAi with personal computing and free art classes in a heartbeat!

Seriously well-said. Thank you.

I notice a few little arrows displaying a frustration with your reasoning, but no valid argument posed against it. (Perhaps a bit of crass at the end there rubbed them the wrong way lol)

I really appreciated this response as a whole, though. I think all this purity testing and “witch hunting” does more to fracture our bonds with each other than it does to punish bad behavior from people behind the work itself, where the ire should be directed.

I dunno, I take the approach, to quote Bruce Lee, “Take what works, leave the rest.”

I’m a hopeless idealist in a lot of ways, but I think we cripple ourselves by applying stringent purity tests everywhere in a vain attempt to Never Do Any Wrong Ever.

If you look hard enough, you will find something you dislike or an objectional opinion from any creator of anything, just about. And if you haven’t, it just hasn’t come to light yet. (Hats off to the wholesome BS-avoiding creators out there not being bad to anybody! 💜)

People are, and will always be, imperfect, and while I think we should be aware of authors’ biases or failings when consuming their work, attempting to boycott everything containing an objectional element all the time only serves to make our culture heavily insular and rob oursleves of our own enjoyment in spite of the creator’s personal failings that may have nothing to do with the work in question.

I’m not for supporting someone’s mission in actively being a malicious person, and people should be called out for bad public behavior, but there very much is this twitteriffic phenomenon in recent years where the line gets closer and closer and closer to demanding absolute perfection from people who make stuff, and I think we could all agree there’s a point where it becomes a futile exercise in the ridiculous that only serves to make us more bitter, angry, and cynical.

There we go, there’s the childlike wonder and whimsy we so desperately need.

Make it so! :D

Two that I just absolutely LOVE after I came across them:

Theocracy:

Uplifting Christian power metal. They SHRED and bring me hope in this dark world.

Smash Into Pieces:

I’m digging pretty much everything they do. “Trigger” is a favorite but I play the dopamine out of everything they make. That’s a really rare and fantastic feeling to vibe so well with a group/artist. :D

The Tuna Kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3s-Q8oKrYU

Here comes…DR. TRAN! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0kRE5OTZI

Herpex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrVqD67zils

I’m sure I got so many more but I should be sleeping. Lmao will edit later maybe…

So much of my gray matter is reserved for gems from these videos such as:

“You’ll have SO many babies. Four HUNDRED BABIES!”

“What if everything you ever wanted…CAME. IN. A. ROCKET CAN‽”

"YOU’LL FEEL LIKE A JET FIGHTER MADE OF BICEPS! (ZZooOoOOooom!)

“You’ve had the worst, now try the THIRST…QUENCHER!”

“Wuht abut muh blue collar?” “JUICE SPRINGSTEEN.”

“Manana, Fizzbitch, and GUN!”

…okay the entire freaking videos are just, in my brain now.
