I think is "shoppifinding" the whole environment into a closed one (wall in it) and making everything obscure and arcane to the user. This also has the perk for them to artificially make systems obsolete as they please.

Apple however, as much as I dislike it, is pretty successful at this crap because they have been like that from day one and have a pretty competent quality control over their own software most of the time.

W10 hid directX 12 away from older systems, now it's auto-hdr and direct storage that are supposed to lure you in...

I love how journos are like: "improved look" instead of "oh wow look another alegria inspired bright mess -.-"

Basically that is happening with everything.... see games overall, the prettier they get, the more hollow, stupid, repetitive and nickle and dime they get, not to mention rushed and bug riden... But "look those 4k 120fps graphics!!!"

Ever since we started running a light classical music channel fairly often for one of my grandparents, I'm noticing that, like... Gershwin is really identifiable. Only ever really sat down and listened to Rhapsody in Blue, but there's been like four or five of their other pieces that had me going from the other room, "Wait a tick, is that Gershwin?" and then going to check and finding out that, yup, it was Gershwin. Hard to recall anything else that's quite so apparently distinct.

I still can't figure out why people make such a damn big deal about graphics, because fancy graphics can't save a game with shit gameplay, also they take up so much space on a hard drive that you can't have a bunch installed at one time.

That lead me to DF. I love strategy and city building games. After a while they all seemed so simple and on top of that newer ones were simpler, and simpler, and more gamey and arcadey.... take total war or dawn of war series as examples.

I which all games tried to be more Dward Fortress like in the granularity it has. It migth be a turn off for some people but DF also has the mechanics already to some extent, and the potential to also be highly strategic, so you can go from design your king's bathroom and wardobe, to order towns fundations and mining expedtions up to command armies and wars.

It's really suspicious that Youtube can offer us clips from almost everything (restrictions apply).
Maybe torrenting is better.

Doing something, feel odd sharp prick in one of fingers, like sticking yourself on a safety pin or whatever. Look down, there's straight up a strand of my hair impaled into my finger, actually jammed past the top layer of the skin like a needle. What the actual fuck.

Think I've done that with beard hairs before. Turns out that really thin things are also necessarily pointy, if they're rigid enough.

Stick another entry into the "Why I Fucking Hate Human Biology" list, I guess.

People who seriously propose intelligent design have presumably never had their own hair stabbed into them like a bloody needle, 'cause that is just some A grade stupid nonsense.

Hair can stab into you? I’ve never had that happen before, is it only with short hair? If so, then me having long hair is probably why it hasn’t happened to me, if the length of the hair is irrelevant to whether it can stab, what factor(s) make a hair able to stab?

I've had it happen with hair clippings, especially the wiry hairs from my beard. It's never really happened with the head on my hair, which is past my shoulders again, but the ends of that are a lot more weathered and soft.
