sgspace | 4 years ago | on: AirPods don't “just work”

Another annoyance I have is if you are working on multiple Apple devices using different Apple IDs, you have to go in Bluetooth settings, disconnect and set up the AirPods as new on other machine. Have to do it again to switch back.

new sound never comes from obvious places. get outside your bubble. I always manage to find a couple new good artists each year who's albums I'll play on repeat for years.

sgspace | 4 years ago | on: Bottled water is 3,500 times worse for the environment than tap water

Why is there a weird stigma about carrying around a reusable water bottle? I’ve experienced it myself when I was younger and in school. It’s something about preparing for the moment compared to just going with the flow of life. I remember being categorized, by a girl, as a pretentious nerd soley based off my water bottle choice.

I don’t know anyone who is doing half gram dabs lol. That’s like $25 in one hit. A gram of concentrate is supposed to last a while (20+ dabs) not a single hit or two.

I have recently been applying for a new software engineering job. Any job that has included in the listing for job responsibilities: "A passion for what you do", I have not applied to.

The amount of jobs I have skipped due to this "job responsibility" is ridiculous. I am good at what I do. I will come to work, work a full day maybe even longer, then go home and unwind or do something non software related. I am not trying to burn out. Why is it not enough to just be good at your job and work an honest day every day? Why do I have to love every moment of it as well? I am not going to fake it because that lead to burnout at my last job. Who has a passion for writing crummy software for someone else anyways?

By skipping those jobs, I think I have found the right one where I am surrounded by down to earth like minded people who are still good at what they do. I start in a couple weeks and I am actually looking forward to working now.

hahaha my exact experience. 5 trips to the apple store and finally my 2017 13 inch pro is usable. I've had the battery, screen, and keyboard all replaced under warrantee. Easily the worst experience Ive had with an Apple product.

sgspace | 7 years ago | on: Finding and exploiting hidden features of Animal Crossing's NES emulator

For me as a 13 year old playing the original Animal Crossing on a gamecube, it was a harmless escape from life. At the time I was dealing with the loss of my older brother and was very depressed.

Animal Crossing is a simulation game sort of like the Sims (not the city building sims) or Harvest Moon. The difference is the time in Animal Crossing is the same as in real life. On Christmas if you turn on Animal Crossing, the town in the game is celebrating Christmas (well actually "Toy Day" to be politically correct). The game followed real life seasons as well. This makes playing the game for a little each day rewarding as there is something new every day for at least a year. My favorite aspect of Animal Crossing is how there is no absolute goal or achievement you strive for. The game is about doing what you feel like at your own pace. The soundtrack is one of the most relaxing soundtracks of any game I have ever played and the tunes change by the hour. For example, you can get lost in the game for hours fishing trying to catch the rarest fish in the game. This game was therapeutic for me as I was young and dealing with some rough stuff in real life.

Heres an example of some of the music you'd hear in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryyPW754sJQ&frags=pl%2Cwn
