I see DLL Hell is still going strong…

I got a message saying I needed to sign up and completed a course I’d never heard of so I marked it as spam and deleted it.

Turned out it was genuine…

People put clothes on to go to bed?

Yeah, as in America.

Benadryl doesn’t contain anything like that in the UK, it’s got Acrivastine instead (at least for the “rapid relief” stuff).

Cetirizine and Loratadine are the other generics, I think. I don’t find those as effective for my needs. They last longer but take longer to get to work. None of these make you drowsy.

You can only get diphenhydramine here as a sleeping aid as far as I can tell. I’m sure it works as an antihistamine as well, but I don’t know why a country so car dependent as the US would decide that hayfever sufferers should have the same driving skills as a drunk.

Why the fuck are you people using sleeping pills as antihistamines?

Ah, the 200 Go Fuck Yourself pattern.

I use HTTP error codes in my API, and still occasionally see a GET /resource/{“error”:“invalid branchID provided”} from people who don’t seem to know what they are.

Fucking Chrome/Electron is why.

I honestly wouldn’t mind that if they could all use the exact same runtime so the apps could be a few MB each, but nooooo.

*Bleck.

What do you think the push for cloud streaming was about?

Can’t pirate it. Don’t even have to sell you it, they can just rent it to you for as long as you play.

Suspect the reason that’s cooled off a bit is because Denuvo sort of works, and consoles have proved difficult to crack.

I don’t think he knows about second pandemic, Pip.

Given how this one’s going, that doesn’t seem like a great plan.

He is trying. Just needs a bigger grinder to feed them all into.

I’ve got a small tube of hydrocortisone cream. I’ve also got a small tube of toothpaste for travel use.

Accidents have very nearly happened. If it wasn’t for the minty smell it likely would have done by now. Especially when not wearing corrective eye-wear.

It was a strange time.

There were so many competitors all of a sudden. CD-i, 3DO, Jaguar. Even Commodore had the CD32. Nobody had one, it was all Mega Drives and SNES.

Nobody could seem to decide if CDs were the future or 3D. I guess Sony’s success came out of nowhere but also because they hedged their bets and made the only machine that could really do both. Games like Final Fantasy VII that really made use of both were a pipe dream for other platforms.

Plus they realised that because CDs were cheap to make, budget re-releases could be a thing again. Seeing dozens of great games at £20 a go certainly swayed me from the competition.

Wall-E is the future.

Well it is 4chan.

My cousin dropped out of university after a few months, and wanted to be a pro gaming streamer instead.

Oddly enough he never did achieve that, and now mostly sits around his parent’s house doing quite a lot of being depressed.

Yeah, I can see why tbh.

Every shot just lacks enthusiasm, and just screams “I thought this would be easy”.

Part of me wants Trump to live long enough to see his tacky Florida golf course three feet underwater.

The other 99% of me wants him to die of leprosy.
