Agree that the actual monster designs looked dull. Funnily enough in a “new pokemon” kind of way. Other monster collecting games like SMT and Digimon seem to manage to produce more interesting monsters/pals/demons.

Have they ever got the physics right on a SMB game when releasing on a non-gamecube platform?
I don’t really rate zsh personally. I find the additional features/syntactic sugar it adds are a poor tradeoff for lower portability. I also end up changing the settings in my zshrc to make it behave more like bash.
Amazing! I love how traditional religious art scales figures according to their imporance. It seems counterintuitive to our modern eye that focuses on perspective but there is an undeniable logic to, “most important thing should be largest”.
Stephen Fry the comedian/tv presenter is also a huge linux advocate. Specifically Ubuntu. He’s been using it for decades at this point.
Piranesi’s Imaginary Prisons are one of my favourite series of prints. Up there with 36 View of Mount Fuji by Hokusai, albeit in a different medium since they are etchings instead of woodcuts.
The story behind them is that many artists during the 18th century were forced to make prints for rich tourists from other European countries who were doing the Grand Tour. Often the features of major landmarks like the size of the coloseum were exaggerated to make the prints more impressive. The Imaginary Prisons series of prints takes all of this embellishment and inverts it to create a series of fantastical, claustrophobic dungeons. They are very gothic and have impossible architecture which may have inspired later artists like MC Escher. I also personally think they might have inspired the architecture in the Dark Souls video game series.
If you want to experience travelling back in time with an operating system then OpenBSD feels like a time capsule, albeit one which is still being maintained. I realise it is not linux but using it is very similar to what linux was like before 2010.
I think the LARP elements of this distro put me off trying it back in the day. Calling the package manager a “Grimoire” and having to “cast” packages to install them was just too much for me.
Fun modern link: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was apprenticed to Kuniyoshi (who shared a studio with Kunisada). He was a great woodblock printmaker in his own right, but many art historians note that he was one of the first artists to popularise comic book prints known as “chuban” which were one of the precursors to modern day manga.
I call it the scenic route through education
I double majored in art history/philosophy and it was a tonne of fun! However I didn’t pursue it any further and now I work in IT.
This will be terrible but I’ll watch it. The story in the games is soap opera tier but somehow it works as part of the full package.
Agree, it’s literally all I need for my browser in terms of add-ons. NoScript is nice to have but not essential.
The level requirement is offputting! I’ll need to progress another 50+ levels in the base game to be able to play this DLC. Maybe this is a sign that I ought to finish the main game (or at least get much closer to the end) before jumping on the hype train and grabbing this DLC!
In my opinion the intermediate stuff on windows is just as conceptually complex but presented with nested GUIs. People internalise that complexity out of familiarity.
A boring dystopia
I think it refers to a state of religious fervor here. Like people speaking in tongues in modern day evangelical churches.
In terms of drugs they have been used throughout history but in this era it would need to be mushrooms or potentially in a highly rare cases ergot affecting communal grain supplies. Should emphasise that there is no evidence whatsoever that these writers/artists were using psychoactive substances.
Windows -> MacOS -> Windows -> Ubuntu (2012) -> Arch (2013) -> Gentoo (2016)
Gentoo cured my distrohopping
Lua is as easy as python, potentially easier. I don’t think writing a one-off script with it to solve a specific problem is a nuts idea.
