Double Dragon Neon has an absolutely banging soundtrack. I wish I could get it on Spotify, but it’s only on Bandcamp. Mango Tango is amazing.

It’s from “The Mythical Man Month” by Fred Brooks. It was published in 1975. I’ve seen people make the same project management mistakes that the book discussed for the last 30 years.

I want to like vscode, and the vim bindings make me feel at home. I just don’t like it though, I find it so slow for a text editor, and the intellisense seems to be very hit and miss as to whether it’s going to work.

Every few months I open up vscode and give it a try, then go back to vim.

Yes, the rest of the world got the extra security restrictions in order to fly. I’m in Europe and we generally have better, faster rail networks than the US (and everything is closer together) so we don’t fly as much as Americans.

I used to work in the US about 10 years ago, and the contrast between that and when I visited in the 1990s to go to Graceland is pretty stark. It takes forever now to get through those TSA queues and immigration. You could also smoke on the transatlantic flight in the 90s!

Elite was released in 1983. It was originally made on and for the BBC model B, which had 32Kb of RAM!

This is a great idea, subbing to some of your communities now. Thanks!

The fuck man?

I mean, you can sum it up in a sentence. Is it really that complex?

“People with poor knowledge, experience or skill in an area tend to overestimate their ability in that area.”

Is your beef that people tend to conflate lack of skill or knowledge with low intelligence, which is not what the DK effect says?

do you need to stay in a tent for 5 days to get your butthole tattooed?

So it’s missing all the things that made Mass Effect good

I’d say that’s fair.

The graphics are pretty good and combat is enjoyable for about an hour, but the game is incredibly repetitive - drive around the planet, peril will be provided by cold/heat/gas, solve the exact same boring puzzles, fight one of two kinds of bad guy, go to a new planet and do it again, etc.

The story was almost in danger of being interesting at times, but the plot is cliched and predictable. I didn’t like Andromeda and I loved ME1-3
