@Jo oh yeah

sadly they got icky GUI all over it and the new versions aren't cool

@maple same

I'm sure that would be 100% my shit if I could afford spending $largeAmount on a switch and the game

@Jo I was doing a vietnam war themed GURPS one shot, had a bergen filled with explosives, objective was to destroy a vietcong camp in the middle of the jungle

They had an arms cache in the camp

I used so much explosive we were able to use the crater as a secondary LZ when the inevitable shit hit the fan and we couldn't make the primary for extraction

@Jo if you need to be precise with where you put your explosives then you're not using enough of them

I am blissfully unaware of the current discourse and I'd quite like to remain that way

@Vann also let's make it so the entirety of the European Union can't see our website because we can't take 5 minutes to comply with regulations

@cheesegrits @cypnk 418 I'm a teapot

True facts: @maple doesn't use an alarm clock, she has a script on another computer that sends her a wake-on-LAN packet when it's time to wake up

@cypnk I think you may have just reinvented the teasmade there

@cypnk counterpoint: why the hell does your toaster need to be connected to the internet?

@Jo yeah, it's one of those things where if someone says "just do this totally unintuitive random thing and it'll help" it sounds like complete and utter bullshit but the same action with why it works actually makes sense

@maple my gender is wiggly huggy tentacles

@Jo works with some stuff

shorting the data lines on the device side will tell the device that it's a charging-only USB cable instead of a data cable, if the device thinks it's a data cable it'll obey the spec and only sip 500mA, if it's a charge cable it'll pull more current

Or at least that's how it used to be, I have no idea what things are like now with quickcharge and usb c and all that stuff

The furries have invaded mastodon in much the same way the romans invaded that city built next to the river Tiber in Italy

I'm pretty sure I've been making references to the fediverse being "Animal Crossing: the social network" from since then as well

Always funny seeing people who joined the fediverse in one of the twitter exoduses... exodi... exodes... whatever acting like they're the first people to turn up to the party

I got here in april-ish of '17 and I'm far from an OT (original toota), people have been having fun here for ages

@maple also the best in my opinion
