There is a knocking sound coming from the front passenger side of my car. It is roughly 120bpm. Turns out it's something called a "blend door actuator," a little mechanical switch that moves a flap that changes the airflow in the car. It is SO IMPORTANT that my car tries to open/close this flap TWICE A SECOND and FAILS so it TRIES AGAIN and ALL THE TIME I'M DRIVING. No. No. No. No. No. Get a clue? It's just like Opera. "Do you want to update?" No. No. No. No. Ask five times, then GTFO ... you're a VENT that's hardly ever used, for a passenger.
I have started a tip jar thing, because I'm worth it.

A recent video by Keiichi Matsuda presents the dystopia of an augmented workplace but I would argue that every single video I've seen broaching the augmented-reality task-helper worldspace gives me the jibblies and I'm so happy I'll be dead by the time it becomes mandatory. I told you I was happy, I just didn't tell you WHY I was happy. Anyway, bon appetit, suckers.

Came across this TV show listing for James Burke:
Stump the Scientist: featured an audience of children who questioned a panel of scientists in the hope of presenting a question they could not answer.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an aggravating rail shooter that holds your hand so tightly you get hilarious bugs like this. They've coded it so whenever you're near a MUD patch you get this message ‒ over and over and over. Anything helpful. Did you know Lara can use the grapple hook like I mentioned the other seventeen times? In this scenario, I've found a nice hidey corner where I can just sit with my shotgun, instead of doing what the game wants me to do: get all MUDded up and go out unto the pasture, stealthing/stabbing my way to the exit. Naw, let them come to me, I have presents for everyone. So ... I'm just sitting on the MUD. The game wants to help me learn how to hide. The message remains on-screen while enemies swarm in, obstructing my view.
The game wants to help so much it ends up doing the exact opposite.
I finally finished the thing, just because they have little bits of code that take pity on you. "Awww jeez, this guy, he doesn't know how to kill the boss that instantly teleports to him and kills him. Twenty times now." I ended up pulling out a pistol out of sheer gamehate. Pew pew! Two shots, ridiculous boss god is dead. What? Whatever, quit, delete.
Oh god, right, I forgot, argumentative "gamers." The game was on normal difficulty, everything was default. I mean, even on "hold my hand 10x" setting, there should be some code like "if bullet path crosses through instructional text, perhaps turn off instructional text." You're welcome, let's see ... that'll be $670.00. I take dogecoin.
