Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.

That movie is so damn good. Every other film adapting a comic book has to make it either an origin story or some major event in canon. Dredd is literally “this is a slightly unusual but not that abnormal day for this guy” and it’s absolutely riveting. And that’s how the Dredd universe is: everything is intense and over-the-top.
Same. As far as I’m concerned that film is a depiction of what happens if you enter The Warp without a Gellar Field.
When I first saw the movie I was very unhappy because it was not at all what was advertised. I was expecting a sci-fi thriller, not Hellraiser in Space. It was quite badly marketed. If it had been marketed correctly it might’ve done far better.
You know things are really out there when “I drink pee recreationally” is a valid credential of expertise for a topic that isn’t “things done at a German sex club”.
Also… I’m not exactly vanilla myself, and yeah: one of the things even the most depraved toiletplay enthusiasts know is “human waste is not good for you”.

Much as I would love it if my home city was this cool, this is an edit of a photo someone took in Winnipeg.
Also why do such a clean edit and not add in actual Gowron? Come on now.
I mean this positively: current AIs come up with the most bizarre, insane shit. Sometimes that’s great: a new approach or perspective when trying to solve a problem or interpret data can be exactly what is required to actually accomplish the task. Other times it’s unhelpful, but often so unhelpful it can be hilarious if the stakes are low-to-nonexistent.
That said, that’s exactly why they need to not be as ever-present as they are: by human standards they are literally insane, incapable of consistent reasoning and frequently perceiving the world in ways that do not match reality. It’s not accurate to say the technology is in its infancy, but at best it’s in its adolescence, and just like an 8-year-old it should not be put in charge of dangerous things like drone strikes or ambulance dispatch.
Modding Bethesda’s Gamebryo engine games, especially Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, and especially doing so using only the built-in functions, i.e. no FOSE/NVSE. Not that I’m averse to using them, but I prefer to do what I can without them before I do. Thanks to that approach I had little trouble making Fallout 4 mods that could run on console editions of the game.
It was great in design but too few peripherals made use of it. The lack of input devices (e.g. mice, joystick, keyboards) meant that for most people it was far less useful than USB.
Still pretty cool that you could (and still can) use it for networking in a pinch, not to mention the decades worth of video devices that will happily dump their contents to DV video as long as you have a FireWire port. Finding a VCR with DV output is one of the best ways to digitize old VHS recordings if you can’t set up VHS-decode.
It was simple once I figured out what I needed, but I had to cycle through a few different OSes before I got something that worked with my hardware. You might have luck with a “specifically for emulation” build like Lakka or Batocera, but for me I wound up installing Debian 12 and then having it just auto-login and run RetroPie on start. Works great though.
Anywho, best of luck!

It helps if you branch out from general meme communities a little, but you can keep it all memes. NonCredibleDefense has kept me on top of the various ongoing conflicts, for example.
My Father-in-Law picked up a smart doorbell that did actually hook up to the existing analog system. Works great. It’s certainly possible.
I took an old 2007 ultrabook and made it into a media and retro game station for the break room at work. It’s a 32-bit Core Duo - not even Core 2 - but that’s enough to play H264 video and basically any emulated game through the 4th console generation (SNES/Genesis) and some early parts of the 5th (e.g. some of the 2D PS1 games). Been a great hit at work.
The barebones $20 version can. This definitely can.
Doesn’t sound like they’re going to backport this unfortunately. Damn shame: I absolutely love The Division but having it on Steam means I have to run two launchers to play it. It usually works… usually.

Despite the apparent speed of advances, AI is a technology that is still in its childhood. It’s as if tech companies found a way to create a 6-year-old out of GPUs and way too goddamn much electricity. If you can overlook the resource usage required, that’s kind of cool.
The problem is that those same tech companies (and some governments) have decided that they all need their own synthetically created 6-year-old and that they should give it unlimited funding and the ability to make life-changing decisions for everyone else, and anyone who isn’t jumping at the chance to have their life overseen by a machine-generated child with poor impulse control and a propensity to hallucinate is just “getting in the way of progress”.
