Additional context: the squirrel bit one of the officers that was confiscating it. So they absolutely needed to test for rabies.

Don't post your crimes to social media folks. Or do, I'm not a cop.

Aleve (naproxin sodium) is the only OTC painkiller that reliably works for me. So first I take one, and if that doesn't work after an hour or so, I take another and a nap.

Raytracing is still very computationally intensive, and doesn't have enough market penetration to make sense on most modern games. Devs need to implement two solutions: a raytraced path and a raster path. The game needs to be fully playable in both, across a wide range on hardware. The largest install base for most games is still console, where RT barely exists. So RT is generally relegated to eye candy for high-end PC. Which makes it a marketing feature, not a game feature.

It'll be interesting to see if that changes with the PS5 Pro. I expect we'll see more first-party titles support it, but not much else until the next real console generation.

Knight Rider. The world needs an anime reboot that leans into the vibe of that opening.

Even if I accept your framing that a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide in Gaza, literally any other action is a vote for that genocide, plus one in Ukraine, plus one in the US. We know this because that's what Trump has said. We know this because that's what he tried to do the last time. And we will have this problem until Trumpism is soundly defeated. You want a real left choice sometime in your lifetime? We need to vote Dem hard enough to make it clear that Republicans can't win. We're not there yet.

The worst thing about standups is that about once a month I catch a problem early because of what someone says. The tradeoff doesn't feel worth it time-wise. But it keeps me from skipping them.

I really enjoyed it, too. Stuck enough to established lore that it didn't feel alien, differed enough to feel new and like its own thing. Great character development, and a good build to what we all know was coming. Really hope it gets a sequel.

That's not necessarily true. I want my gaming to just work, and that's not the case in Windows. It's becoming less the case with console gaming, but I can still be confident that when I buy a game for my PlayStation it'll actually boot, I won't need to use third-party software for controller support, and I won't need to tinker with drivers. That said, I already have a PS5. The TV I game on is still 1080p, so I don't understand what $700 would get me over my current hardware.

Sounds like an argument in favor of mandating bollards to me.

Chants of Sennaar - adventure/puzzle game where you need to learn the languages of the world. It's not super difficult, but finding all the secrets was challenging.

Manifold Garden - no real story here, but a trippy 3d spatial puzzle to navigate.

I got a Viture One on sale last Prime Days for $300. I also have an Xreal Air 2. The Viture One has a better case for traveling - it has a separate compartment for the cord - and it's better if you want to share it because it has focus controls on the glasses. But I'm still trying to get the nosepieces into the right place to get full top to bottom clarity. The Xreals need a prescription lens insert, but that means they're better if you want to use them as real glasses, and the nosepiece is more comfortable and adjustable. The case can hold the cord, but there isn't a separate compartment so there's a risk it'll scratch the lenses. I can't recommend the Xreal Beam accessory, the battery life is really short.
