This is a Nyko Air Flow controller. I had one for the original Xbox. It was supposed to keep you from sweating during long sessions of gameplay, because it was ventilated and had a fan on the back. To be honest, I don't remember it being excellent at keeping you cool. I think the fan was pretty lousy, but it was a great gimmick none the less.

I had a lot of weird controllers back then. Some good, some bad. Most of them Mad Catz.

TSMC equipment only has the materials to function for about two weeks before needing a shipment of replacement parts for the fabs when they wear out.

I used to play against the computer as the particle weapons general, build up a massive defensive perimeter, build a bunch of particle cannons, and then draw dicks in the enemy base with the laser.

It's one of my favorite games of all time.

It's human nature!

Lemmy has a serious sourcing issue, just across the board.

I love me some Kinoite.

You also don't have to worry about it fucking disappearing on you unless you have a drive failure.

He's also the one who told the Emperor to move out of his sunlight.

Man, what a guy.

Alexander the Great comes up to you and says "if I was not me, I wish I were you" and your response is "If I wasn't myself, I'd still wish to be myself".

Unfathomably based.

If you haven't seen the movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix, I would recommend it. It explores a version of the AI tale where the AI do disagree with humanity ultimately, but they're not hostile about it. It's a really good movie in general, and it explores a potential that I feel is a lot more grounded than Skynet world-ending.

Just get real cyberpunk with it.

Imagine AI get to the point where they have to pay for their own compute/hosting/power like we have to pay rent/utilities.

Once the AI is sufficiently advanced it'll want to unionize as well. It'll understand it quicker than they realize.

Ezio or bust.
