...Germany's ongoing proxy dealings with Russia. I tried to explain this to a friend of mine that almost all wars are proxy wars. Globalization makes this more extreme and dynamic, but even before super complex supply chains we had trade routes that basically defined where wars would take place. Th...

I should have instantly called an ambulance in retrospect, just so it is taken seriously from the start. Hospital triage is such a weird thing, partially because of how people outwardly express pain. I've been told by a friend that I downplay my problems a lot and she's probably right because I usu...

Another screenshot of The Bomber showing high-visibility markings on a dark trail. No more hiding!

The Bomber This cycle model is designed for players that turn floor mirror intensity all the way up for those fat, juicy trails. The design is partly inspired by Pike's Donut, I remember several players mentioning they liked it because it was short and stubby. The Bomber has a high visibility marke...

Superb. I'll raise you with my jam right now: PSYQUI - Awakening

Team Scheisse Oh no, I think this is my new favorite band for the month of January. I feel super inspired by their music and videos. This might temporarily break me habit of listening to mostly Japanese bands for the last year. Speaking of, I've been going back and forth between future electronic p...

Sad news: Key bitcoin developer calls on FBI to recover $3.6M in digital coin "On New Year's Day, Dashjr took to Twitter to report that his entire bitcoin holdings—worth roughly $3.6 million—were “basically all gone.” He said the hack stemmed from the compromise of a PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) k...

I'm retiring from anything related to web development and I would like to pass on the following domains to anyone interested in owning them: * retrocycles.net * retrocycles.org (redirects to .net) * adventuresoftron.com I made this Retrocycles site to celebrate the Steam launch and re-branding. It's...

I do believe that re-educating the tierings by more democratic means would likely sacrifice accuracy for transparency. Maybe. There is probably a way to add transparency to the current system of "cloaked committee creating a secret database" and maybe we should think of how to do that if ...

Just wanted to say the newauto system is fantastic and I have no complaints. Games are better now than they have been in years and I think a major factor is the human sort and larger number of tiers. What sort of interest is there in anonymised judging? I see in-game some people are a bothered by th...

...the second you let your guard down a little because you're happy to see the people you could not see all of that time, that bug catches you. Exactly what happened to me just before Christmas last year. Met a couple friends at a brewery for two rounds of drinks, half of us got sick. I even wore a...

I'll be removing the dead links. I saved you some work. This pastebin has some HTML you can drop into the links page. I've replaced dead links with the best recent snapshot from web.archive.org, and commented out anything that was not in the archive. As a Tron historian I think this is a good pract...

I never saw the appeal of Kate Bush, but Placebo is a great band.

I was always into those Line6 things... I have no experience with Line6 equipment. I am primarily a bass player who's sound and rig was decided on before Line6 existed, though I've heard lots of good things. The guitar/singer player in my band uses a Line6 HX Effects and some of the sounds are incr...

I've never heard of this game. That scene is amazing even without context. I'll look into this more, might be something I can play if there is an easy mode!
