@hellomiakoda thanks I love it

@hellomiakoda lmao nice

...it also just sunk in with me that you said you paid $50 for a USB cable 😭😭😭

@hellomiakoda damn, I've never even seen a USB-C drive :o

@hellomiakoda yeah but a USB-C port in the rear sounds kinda pointless considering most of my peripherals are type A 😅

@hellomiakoda though now I'm wondering how hard it would be to retrofit that into an 8 year old desktop 🤔

Sounds like it might involve physically modifying the case though 💀

@hellomiakoda I think it's a mini USB one, yeah, can't remember if it needed one or two plugs but honestly I'm ok with either option and I don't have USB-C in my PC anyway 😅

I fucking hate that Linux just Won't let you unmount a removable drive in use because it thinks you're too dumb to know what you're doing, but then some old Windows games Require you to unmount a removable drive in use because they came on two (or more) CDs and won't even detect if both are inserted at the same time

Meaning that I can't install my disc-based Call of Duty 1 copy because I don't have an optical drive reader anymore and even with cdemu Linux just Refuses to fucking do what I'm telling it to, cause "but what about the potential data corruption :(((("

How the fuck is Linux more restrictive about this than Windows to the point where it won't even let you do this as root 🙃

Guess I'll have to go fish out the USB DVD drive from wherever the fuck it's gone

Oh... Lutris has apparently been mostly "coded" by fucking Claude AI lately, gonna have to switch to like 3-4 different apps to do the same shit I could do with just Lutris 🙃

@hellomiakoda I don't actually like Sonic games (I like them in theory but every time I try to play one I'm like "oh, yeah, right, that's why I don't play these") so I don't really have much else to talk about on this topic haha

@hellomiakoda the song btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2OWC5Hosv8

@hellomiakoda that's good, I didn't want to burst your bubble I just wanted to infodump

Mission accomplished 😎

@hellomiakoda sorry to burst your bubble, but Michael Jackson wasn't actually involved in *making* the music for Sonic 3, but the real story is a lot cooler and more interesting! MJ felt the Mega Drive's sound hardware was too limited, but because the deal was already struck he got Brad Buxer, one of his close collaborators and concert music director, to write the music for the game!

Ice Cap Zone was based on Hard Times, an unreleased track he made with his new wave band, The Jetzons in the early 80s, and it being finally released decades later (mid 2010s iirc) was the piece of the puzzle that finally elucidated the whole "was MJ involved with this or was that just an urban legend".

Meanwhile, the credits theme from Sonic 3 was repurposed for Stranger in Moscow a year or so later!

Oh no

The next big Plasma version is gonna be 6.7

@hellomiakoda usually the crash happens after I already have a second cup (which I have when I start getting tired again after the first cup's effect wears off) so really I should probably just not have the second one but then I'm tired again 😔

@hellomiakoda I really need to figure out how much coffee I can actually have so I can wake up but not have a caffeine crash later

@schratze Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg don't count right?

@schratze yeah

@schratze but but but American media told me that all of Germany is Lederhosen, sandals with socks, Oktoberfest, and yodeling

@hellomiakoda what does "Rs for luck" mean? 😅

Like, the letter "R"?
