There's no better way to find out how safe something is than a good observed field test, because it activates all the worry you should have under a controlled situation, and then you can back up and patch the hole, which lets you discover additional holes. Work work.
Got a kitten, been involved in an cold war arms race to keep her safe from the vagaries of life as she tries to see how many fatal things she can chew on. It's getting looney tunes. She climbed over the baby gate I put up and then climbed over the one on top of that.
Just discovered that twitter changed how direct messages worked since I last used it (which was 2017) so if I haven't messaged you it's not because I'm absent, I'm just tech illiterate and ignorant of how things work today. I am also absent.
One of the marvelous things about the English language is those words that end up being in the same place. "Yolked" and "Yoked" mean completely different things but are both ways to say you look completely ripped.
As folks prepare for the L2D event tomorrow, I just want to take a moment to remind my friends on IRIAM that having a live2D model is not what makes you a “real” vtuber. It makes me very sad to see my peers invalidate themselves for being “only” PNGs (cont’d in ss)
It's like when you're watching a cooking show and someone's like "...Now, I've got one ready-" and you're flabbergasted in your kitchen going "WHERE WAS THAT THE WHOLE TIME?!?!"
Wild that he was like "I'm glad you're all here to see my invention, which is worthy of international news. To use it, I'm gonna need 7 other things I also invented, all also worthy of news." A mini sun is cool, but psychic control of robot limbs is crazy advanced tech.
The controller itself is also genius. It's a NES controller on its side, something your parents would recognize as a video game controller, but in the standard use, it resembles a classic TV controller, which everyone recognizes. Like I said, people just GOT the Wii.
Related to my musings on the Wii's UI, it's really impressive that the engineers and designers at 2005 Nintendo managed to merge the then-new touchscreen with an upgraded version of the Duck Hunt Controller to allow any TV to act as a touchscreen.
That let you use the controller in the same way you'd use a mouse on a computer, or your finger on an iPod Touch. Everyone GOT the UI pretty easily. That was such a huge boost to getting everyone into gaming and it's probably a serious factor to why games are so widespread now.
