...They did it. They actually DID IT. The absolute goddamn MADMEN did it.


That is Skyrim. On Alexa. The fuck, Bethesda? It's not even COSTLY! It's free! Free!


And there's Actual Stuff!

Best. Publicity Stunt. Ever.

Well, maybe not ever, but it is pretty awesome. (Damn, I almost wish I had an echo right now.)

I thought the video was hilarious, but they made an actual skill which cranks it up to 11 so to speak.

It used to be just a home assistant, but then it took an arrow to the knee.

How is he still moving while carrying 400 wheels of cheese? Those things weigh 4lbs each!

You know, this makes me wonder why there aren't more "Text adventures" ports to things like Alexa and Echo.

There were several classics, like PlanetFall, Crystal Cave Adventure, and pals, back in the early days of computer gaming.  They are now so old that hip kids would have never played them. They seem perfect for these devices in hind-sight.

I just had a REALLY SILLY idea occur to me just now.  The fact that I even had it is a WTF, but the thought itself is also pure WTF.

Ok, some months ago I mentioned that I had repurposed an old WD MyCloud NAS, into a small ARM based headless linux box. OK-- There exists a port of dosbox that has some extra functionality. "Dosbox-x"  One of those features is straight up NE2000 emulation/packet passthrough. This means old DOS based software can talk to the fake NE2000 it provides, and those packets will go out onto the wire using the TUN/TAP driver on Linux.

OK-- So, what happens if you use Dosbox-X to run some moldy old network directory software... Like Netware 4?  Would it even run?

Why am I even wondering this?

And on top of that, they named it "Very Special Edition"

Godmode is one helluva drug.

The plant that was growing inside my house, straight from the wall's baseboard has returned.
This time I gave it some light, and allowed it to grow a few days, to properly determine it.
Apparently it's not my prime suspect, the japanese knotweed.
Instead it's a black locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia, of which a 20m tall specimen is growing about 20m away from my house.
I read up on it, and apparently it's roots can extend up to 80m away from the tree underground, and the roots can spawn new clone trees.
So instead of some nasty shrubbery, I have a nasty tree growing from my wall

Congrats.

Use some weed killer.

Does this mean you're now living in a treehouse? Childhood dream FULFILLED!

Congrats.

Technically I am already living in a tree house. Maybe not a treehouse. But a tree house.

As all heavy elements in the universe were made in supernova explosions long ago, i.e stars dying, your house is made out of dead stars. So is the keyboard this was typed on. So was the human that typed this message. So it's not a tree house, it's a star house.

Hey it would still be the most interested a US president have been in the kosmos for decades!

Every time I start thinking public transit isn't that bad, the universe conspires to prove me wrong.

I'm guessing the guy was either very inebriated or not mentally well, but me and my friends got harassed Saturday night by the asshole. He was just mumbling to himself when we first walked up to the stop, but after my friend had a coughing fit and I asked if he was okay, the crazy guy said 'I bet you're in love with him, you gay faggot bitch'.

We ignored him, but he got up in my friend's face, stuck his fingers just short of poking my friend in the eye, then looked at me and called me a 'blond haired blue eyed aryan faggot'. He then called one of my friends a gay Jimi Hendrix, and said I was going to get tracks on my face. Then he walked into the middle of the road and started flipping off cars that passed by.

After a few close calls and some pissed off drivers yelling at him, he walked back to the sidewalk and lifted his shirt, asking us to lick his nipples. He then grabbed me, shoved my face into his chest, and kissed me on the head. We just fucking ran after that.
