Invested in a water cooler setup back when I had a Bulldozer chip, which was near essential. Now on a Ryzen, and getting it to exceed about 35 degrees is very difficult. Been very good for long-term stability of my desktop - all the niggling hard disk issues seem to just go away when they've not subjected to such thermal cycling any more.

Fantastic chips.

Original release was fantastic - super-smooth, high resolution, "how I remember it on the N64", ie. not true to the original at all, but like the impression it made on me as a youngster. Super-dark storyline and minimal hand-holding makes it very unusual for a Zelda game, absolutely stunning bit of porting work. Everything you could possibly want in 2024.

And then I got to the down-the-well bit, and that can just fuck off. New release needs a dedicated keybinding to skip that time-wasting shit, could bind it to a mouse button just so that there's no difficulty finding it when the time comes.

More testosterone gives male cats rounder faces, and Big G has a very round face indeed. I reckon he's still packing the pom-poms.

Just sing it! Couple of extra syllables in fee-ee-ling, you're right back on the beat.

Absolutely no regard for the thoughts or desires of anyone other than WASPs? This is a picture from the 50s, right enough.

By the time you've paid for the game, a headset, a suitable graphics card, and about two dozen pairs of trousers to ruin for every hour of gameplay, then that sounds a pretty expensive hobby.

Heavily-salted bleach flavour, too. Unusual for jell-o, but strangely familiar at the same time.

No 'a', so it's perfect for ordering some piss.

Clicking the 'Activate' link prompts you to enter your shoe size and postal address, so that you may receive a shark plush toy and your own pair of The Socks.

Oh, grapefruit. I didn't think gfuckfruit was very likely.

Don't suppose it has the same work-around as Dark Souls? In a game with a serious medieval theme, it does of course censor all knight-themed characters to eg. K***ht Solaire or whatever. Unless you change the system language during character creation. Then you can play with any swear in your name you like.

Amanda canonically gets back to earth to die of cancer as an older woman, so she does manage to return from the "floating in space" ending of Isolation, too.

Creative Assembly have confirmed Isolation 2, as well. Hype!

 

Hey gang! Looking for some recommendations on issue tracking software that I can run on Linux. Partly so that I can keep track of my hobby dev projects, partly so that I've got a bit more to talk about in interviews. My current workplace uses Jira, Trello and Asana for various different projects, which, eh, mostly serve their purposes. But I'm not going to be running those at home.

The ArchWiki has Bugzilla, Flyspray, Mantis, Redmine and Trac, for instance. Any of those an improvement over pen and paper? Any of those likely to impress an employer?
