"Knock on Wood" is the one superstition I always follow. I am very rational/skeptical, but I just follow that rule.

On the other hand, I'm very loose with what I interpret as "wood". Most of the time, I'll just knock on whatever paper I have with me, such as a paper receipt or something in my purse

ALttP is so good, so polished so it's a pleasure to play.

Also did the randomizer. It's played with the Japanese v1.0, so it includes a bunch of fun minor glitches like being able to hook shot through rocks or swim before you get flippers to sequence break

I personally disagree that the original is best. It's high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

I'm a fan of the "piece swap" feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I've played.

"reportedly" ~~is~~ in the sense of "that's what we're reporting"

A third movie has not been confirmed or spoken about by anyone outside of Villeneuve; the news is that he's open to a third movie, but probably wouldn't take it further.

I loved part 1, so I'm looking forward to part 2 (and hopefully part 3), but hopefully the second does well enough to keep the door open for a third. This is a Warner Brothers movie, so there's still a chance part 2 is completed, and they decide not to release it, a la Batgirl

Me too, especially because I loved the theory that Season 4 was the palate cleanser before an even darker Season 5 with Amelia as the protagonist passenger

I cancelled my HBO Max subscription in protest when Infinity Train was cancelled. Fuck Zaslav

Neovim is a rewrite of the vim project. From a high level (or from the perspective of a beginner to both), there's not much difference between the two. That is, basic usage will be the same regardless of which ones you choose. Like, the model philosophy and default key bindings are basically identical.

You start seeing major differences with more advanced usage and under the hood.

  • Neovim is built to support async processing, while Vim is entirely synchronous

  • Neovim offers native Language Server support while Vim requires plugins to do so. (Language Server Protocol is part of what makes VSCode so powerful)

  • Vim plugins are written with a custom script called "vimscript" while Neovim plugins are written in Lua but also supports vimscript.

There are more differences, but this should cover the basic differences. I haven't used neovim in an age, so I'm up for any corrections if anyone has any

As a software engineer, I can't speak about their actual implementation, but I can vouch that it's a technically sound response, as far as blocking malicious ads from executing code from your browser.

However, I don't know what headers or parameters are being sent with the request. It's possible that a malicious ad could still track you using that metadata, so heads up on that

A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.

Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn't cut short by Zaslav's budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there's a chance it's a good show

I have such mixed feelings about this. The show ended in such a perfect way (as it did the prior the times), but more Futurama is more Futurama

Only a couple more weeks! You've got this!

 

Only a couple days left in Pride Month. Does anyone have any LGBT movie recommendations?

Doesn't need to be a lesbian romance, but at least better than completely replaceable side characters ("blink and you miss it")

I found this in an old folder on my previous computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a source to give credit (not my art), but it's cute and i wanted to share
