@strcpy @saraislet plot twist, one of the payloads is a prompt injection which tells any LLM being asked about it to generate an image of a catgirl instead.
@an0key I had one of those issued as a work phone at the same time as owning an iPhone 12, deeply odd holding them at the same time. The older one constantly felt like it was going to snap but I did appreciate how light it was.
As Liverpool win the Premier League for the second time, they complete the opening of a quite remarkable sequence, 33 years in the making.
That’s credits on Blue Prince. I’ll be back, because I have Theories on what that ending cutscene was about. For now though I need a break, and to play a game that doesn’t hate its players quite so much,
@andrew yeah, that would be ideal. There’s so many little quality of life things either missing, or sacrificed for an incredibly pure approach to being a roguelike. I pulled the outside room which gives more holes to dig yesterday and then completely failed to find a shovel. Just put one in that room, not doing so is needlessly cruel.
I’m so split on Blue Prince. Without the roguelike element it would be a stone cold 10/10 for me. As it is, I spend as much time resenting how little it cares about my time as I do in awe of the good bits. My latest run had me on the cusp of getting to Room 46, but I was cursed by poor RNG to god knows how many more runs.
@mattgrayyes I think ESOC have all the other *OCs beat for sheer coolness.
@andrew my first pass had thousands of options, had to switch to a better word list just to get it down to hundreds.
I nearly rage quit Blue Prince earlier and then it threw a whole new room at me and I spent half an hour writing Python to try and solve a puzzle. (It didn’t work, there are too many potential options to brute force it)
It seems I replaced smoking with Blue Prince. So far this is going quite well, except for the intense withdrawal I feel when I’m not playing Blue Prince. Not entirely sure how I’m going to cope when I run out of game to play but I reckon I’m at least a week off that being a problem that needs solving.
We’re hiring at Demand Logic for various flavours of engineer, cloud infrastructure, web front end, and IoT. IoT is clearly my favourite because you get to plug boxes into huge buildings and pretend you’re in Hackers, but they’re all good. 4 day work week at full pay, remote friendly (probably within the UK because of employment law), and we make money by reducing big companies CO2 emissions.
@dave love it. I opened it up and went “fuck no”, then threw a test string in to see what happened.
Where would you buy shoelaces for a pair of walking boots from that isn’t Amazon? I keep looking in shops for some and coming up blank.
@tdp_org what on earth are they doing? According to the quick Google I did that’s 4 year’s R&D budget for Apple. I’m sure tax is very complex but I can’t believe it’s more complex than developing multiple operating systems and pieces of cutting edge hardware.
In an attempt to give up vaping I’ve switched to nicotine spray. So far it’s working through of virtue tasting like I’ve sprayed deodorant directly into my mouth, really makes me consider whether I want nicotine that badly.
Remember, when the internet gets disbanded, don't blame Hasbro Interactive. They had nothing to do with it.

@herdingdata I nominate successfully plugging a cable (USB, HDMI, whatever) into a socket you can’t see on the first attempt.
Excuse me, I'd like to return this dire wolf, it's just a dog in a costume.
@herdingdata the Dr Bashir one is perfect for posting under something questionable.
