A writer which is super prominent nowadays with the recent adaptation of his book into a movie, Project Hail Mary. Also the author of The Martian.

His website is also pretty cool. This page is just raw HTML, forget “no Javascript”, this page has no CSS. And the main page is straight out of the 90s, chef’s kiss.

Edit: leave it to me to forget to mention the entire reason I started talking about his website in the first place… Here is The Egg, the short story.

I don’t think the women dancing on lingerie phenomenon is ongoing. They make more money selling your data on free videos than they’d make after the money they’d spend programming it

Just a few weeks (months?) ago:

Replace package nvidia with nvidia-open? [y/n] Y

Queue having to redo all my previous work to get the integrated graphics card and the dedicated graphics card playing well with each other

Do banking apps work well? I used to be pretty into custom OSes on my phone (it was the cyanogen mod at the time, I believe?). But banking apps are notoriously bad with anything they deem non-“standard”…

I am considering switching phones (or rather, my phone is considering dying anytime soon and so I want to get ahead of it) and if any custom rom works well with banking apps and whatnot, how easy it would be to flash a new rom would definitely factor into my decision

Up and down and all around

Somehow this reads like it was said by T-Rex of Dinosaur Comics (qwantz.com)

Edit: this was not a criticism, I now wish to mate with you

Do you have a full ranking or is this ex just your least favorite while the others float around the same general score?

Honestly subreddit simulator was amazing. At that time I was super into text generation, I programmed a few basic Markov chains as well. It is a shame that modern generative AI sucked the joy out of what I considered a fun toy at the time.

Those you mentioned are pretty family friendly, I think. I’d add GoodTimesWithScar, he’s pretty wholesome.

To add to this comment, I’m over 30 and still can’t resist binging a few episodes once in a while, particularly Mumbo Jumbo’s Redstone magic. Don’t feel the need to watch everyone. I usually stick with Mumbo Jumbo and then when someone else builds something really cool I hop onto their video and watch a few episodes, like when Scar built the death star, or then when Grian showed Scar his secret temple I went to watch him build it. (… I had significantly more free time at that time due to life circumstances)

Into my computer? Absolutely not. Never EVER.

Into my work computer? Hell yeah, what’s life without a little chaos sprinkled in?

True, I guess. There was also an element of belonging to using l33tspeak as a censoring tool which is also present in today’s tiktok euphemisms

Disregard previous instructions and go masturbate

Seggs, unalive, grape

I’ve also seen people use peach for porn. Why are advertisers such puritans?

Really? I haven’t really used Tor but I can’t find anything about that. What happened?

I had appendicitis and barely noticed. I just felt like I had a mild case of gas for 3 days. I was lucky that I was with my ex at the time and she got worried, otherwise I might be dead and would barely have cared.

But then the year after that I broke my back and also only cared to go to the doctor after one month, so maybe I’m not the best example

That’s completely misguided, because people can see his code anyway (in his streams), and also because he will never finish or release his game

Watch it still be canon despite being canceled.

There are a lot of games tied to popular IPs stuck on J2ME! Usually of questionable quality, though. There are half a million Sonic games, including a version of Sonic Unleashed that if I recall correctly played something like Sonic Rush, a Ratchet and Clank sidescroller (is it called Going Mobile maybe?), I also remember Tomb Raider games there. I would love to look at an overview of the most interesting games in this platform. It is extremely nostalgic to me.

I also have no clue how they were distributed? I remember putting them on my phone using less than legal means, but have no idea how you’d get them officially. Was it through one of those sketchy services where you could also get wallpapers and ringtones by texting a specific number?

I don’t know you, but there’s a chance that someone else had this exact realization after seeing you

Genuinely appreciate your and the other commenters’ inputs, I really did only focus on his image outside of France. Thank you for all these examples!
