My knees have been kinda fucked since I was a teen because of some genetic bullshit. I never really injured them proper, but it’s been at a point where I could barely walk stairs without severe pain, even when I was young enough to be invulnerable.

I was like 30 when I finally stopped being a fucking idiot and started taking my shit seriously enough to do something about it. It took maybe a couple of years of strength training (1x a week for the first year, then 2-3x a week, lots of front & back squats, knee extensions, romanian deadlifts & other deadlift variations, etc) to build enough muscle to almost entirely get rid of the knee pain in my daily life. My knees are probably still kind of fucked underneath all the muscle, can’t really do anything to actually “fix” them at this point. I just gotta make sure to keep going to the gym.

All the plants and flowers outside are going “I’m… blooooomiiiiing uuauuaaaauughh” right now

There’s something so fucking funny about the word “coom”. I have a hunch it might have some problematic origins or something, but god damn.

Oh hey, I’ve seen jarritos in the shop before, but I never tried it. Is it any good? Anything special about it?

Woah, how’d they get this past the censors? I thought it was illegal to publish anything good and/or based in this bloodthirsty bullshit country? By Iltalehti nonetheless. Kind of love to see it, even though it’s intended to be a hit piece? Someone, somewhere is gonna read that and think “hey, wait a minute, this guy might be on to something”

Not gonna check the comments though, I don’t think I have enough Psychic Resistance.

poop coming out of the butt

i dunno how to x cancel or anything

you can just add “cancel” to the url, so that it’s xcancel.com instead of x.com.

e.g. https://x.com/typesfast/status/1909362292367802840 -> https://xcancel.com/typesfast/status/1909362292367802840

me neither, is this supposed to be bad or “cringe”? I think it’s pretty neat

This is the exact face my cat makes when I let him smell an apple

Timesplitters 2 is such a god damn banger but I can’t handle the controls at all any more. I wonder if there’s a way to play it with mouse and keyboard? Kind of like PrimeHack for Metroid Prime.

This sounds like a power issue to me. Is it a desktop computer? You could check that all the cables from the PSU are correctly plugged into the motherboard/GPU. Another thing worth trying is taking the components (RAM sticks/GPU) one by one and try turning on the computer after every part you remove, that way you can isolate the problem to a particular component. If it still wont work, then the PSU might just be fried. The easiest way to test that is to try with a different PSU, if you happen to have one of those laying around… I guess a power meter of some kind would work too, but I don’t know how to go about that.

It might also be some other unexpected bullshit. I did have a similar issue recently. I swapped the PSU and everything and it STILL didn’t work. Turns out there it was caused by a piece of lint in the GPU port. I took out the GPU and blew some compressed air into the port and it seems to have done the trick. I didn’t even know that could happen.

If it’s not a desktop computer then I don’t know shit.

good luck comrade

Ah, the humble finnish school lunch. Despite my endless supply of criticism of this bullshit nightmare country, I gotta say that the finnish school lunch system is an absolute banger. Soup days were my favourite, because they’d serve regular soft bread instead of näkkileipä (crispbread? idk). Now as an adult I of course understand that näkkileipä fucking rules, but as a kid I hated it.

Pretty sad that schools and daycares don’t have their own kitchens any more. No idea what school lunches are like these days, but I can imagine it’s indeed a lot worse. Better than nothing though, I hope.

So I buckled and checked out what the Balatro hype is all about. It’s so good. Somebody help, I’m seeing jokers and jack of hearts and mults in my sleep.

I’ve been feeling like I should get a 3D-printer. Just imagine how much stuff in my home I could fix and repair and DIY if I just had one little piece that went kind of like this ┓and had a screw hole there hmm yes. But to be realistic, it would probably just turn into an advanced dust collector after a couple of weeks.

Today I’m angry at the word “innovation”. Could there even be a contemporary word with less meaning? What does it even really mean? Capacity to hustle and funnel cash money into the pockets of shareholders? The ratio between use value and monetary value, i.e. the more useless bullshit something is compared to its price, the more innovative it is? I can’t believe this shit.

Dark Souls 2 was the best one, I will absolutely die on this hill

yeah fuck that guy, that’s just super mario 64. carry me instead, I’m 351 more

Edit: 356? 346? I can’t number

Yeah you can, it should be fine. IIRC all the sticks will run at the speed of the slowest stick, so you don’t necessarily need to match them exactly. If it starts acting weird then you can remove the old stick and go with 32gb.
