What a cartoonishly hideous individual. Didn't know at the time of that 2020 post that he was an unrepentant rapist, on top of being an Incel Paedo Nazi. A decent overview.

You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.

Same. Mine is Alduin from Skyrim, which is arguably slightly less terrible than average on account of being a recognizable dragon with actual geometric detailing.Stevens wrote:I have exactly one Funko Pop. It was a gift.

Re: ... and it made me smile.
Funko is the ultimate in brainteasing fad garbage. Unlike something like Beanie Babies, it appears the market is only like, what -- millennials and such? They're so fuckin' ugly and indistinguishable and they can't do anything. They just sit there and rot with their dead eyes and hulking frozen stature. I guess they were hot off the trail of 'loot boxes', the reigning king of momentary collectable crap for 'nerdy' adults, so their rise to power was only natural. Devilish things, those!

As a brief interlude from the Funkopopalypse, I learned this is what the ROM on the moon lander computer looked like:

"Core Rope Memory", it's called - binary code expressed by way of wires that pass either through or around magnetic rings. Hand-woven assembler.
Retro chic aside, man that's cool.

Same, it's wild to look back and see actual recognizable wiring and such across the gulf of time and miniaturization; non-enthusiast hardware is such a magic black-box these days that the notion of doing it on such fundamental tech is boggle material.BIL wrote:Blows my damn mind, the whole 60s moon tech thing.
Though when it comes down to it, the algorithms underpinning it are dead simple in mathematician terms; p' = p + vt and such - much of what we spend all that modern computing grunt on is quite frivolous by comparison!
The computer itself is some wild arcane business too - 15(?!) bit architecture, tiny memory pool, complicated negative handling, no pointers, only two still exist and one is lost in space, a proper trove of compsci intruigue.
And of course, some smartarse wrote a playable Lunar Lander game for it

The one I was gifted is at work. I don't collect anything. Like anything at all for the reason you mentioned - they're just dust collectors. No use for things with no utility, especially when it just takes up space.drauch wrote: and they can't do anything. They just sit there and rot
