Painting, house & techno mixes.

Painting progress. I didn't have a plan but decided to wing it and see where it goes.

@GendoWasRight @nib95_ However, the Legion Go's form factor is great for DJing (one of the reasons I bought it.) When I pair it with my controller, it looks like and (almost) functions like a standalone unit.

@GendoWasRight @nib95_ I thought I was going to do so much handheld gaming on my Legion Go but, as much as I love the device, I use it exclusively in my dock as a desktop PC and never use handheld. The only other thing I do is remote stream Steam from it to my Raspberry Pi.

@GendoWasRight Yes, I think they mentioned something about the adhesive between the plastic and aluminium layer turning more alkaline over the years resulting in corrosion.

@datnofact jpegs??? For that kind of money I expect no less than a 24-bit PNG!

@Alphons63 I need to practice painting from life like you're doing here. I need the exercise.

[Michael de Jager / retroFuture @Scanlines9]

@Alphons63 I love (and slightly fear) the randomness of paint. But I do appreciate the texture it gives.

@GendoWasRight This may be my least favourite aspect of AI. The doomsday scenarios may be accurate or exaggerated, I don't know, but the rising tide of slop and fakery is something I can clearly see. It's the primary reason I don't use Facebook anymore.

@bonchieredstate OP post author clarifies that this is a joke and you still keep your quote up. Pretty dishonest and in bad faith. Unfollowed.

@JazRignall Wonder Boy's arcade theme tune is an earworm only bested by Bubble Bobble's.

@christianjbdev For all of our flaws and being "partially-rational apes" (as Christopher Hitchens so elegantly put it), humans are resilient and resourceful. Steven Pinker really changed my perspective of humanity.

@GendoWasRight @OliverJia1014 If memory serves me correctly, didn't finding Nemo have an issue with being remastered due to the way the water was rendered (eg. depreciated/obsolete plugin etc.)?

[Michael de Jager / retroFuture @Scanlines9]

@GendoWasRight I would absolutely get one then.

@IonaItalia A new and utterly silly mating dance I can perform for my (bemused) wife <3 Not sure if it'll get me in the sack or have me laughed out of the bedroom. I'm willing to risk it at the expense of my dignity.

@MenezesCracked This screenshot actually made me laugh out loud. What an amazing zinger to something so heartfelt <3

@Filippo_DiVito @Criminalsimpson I'm a huge fan of... the product in question.

@OliverJia1014 Your meal looks pretty damn good though, probably well-worth the smoke and grease :)

[Michael de Jager / retroFuture @Scanlines9]

@OliverJia1014 I hate cooking steaks indoors for the same reason. Searing my steak in a cast-iron pan usually results in a low-hanging ceiling of smoke and a greasy film cover everything. I prefer cooking it outdoors on charcoal, although this is not always an option for everyone.

@GendoWasRight I don't have much 4K experience (TBF I'm a 720P peasant :D ), but I'll take your word that this is true. The only time I ever noticed an advantage with native 4K resolution was when playing high-end PC games on a mates rig as we sat right in front of his display.
