He was in an old battle jacket that had BOKWINR written in neon tubing across its back.

FFMPEG commands for audio/video mixing
Maybe you’ve heard of ffmpeg, the encoding program described as the Swiss Army knife of audio and video. If you’ve actually used it, you’ll know it’s a Swiss Army knife made out of buzzsaws.

372 Pages I Never Got Back
For those of us who have been hating Ready Player One before it was cool, the backlash has been weird. Sure, the book is full of sexism, racism, pointless nostalgia, and lists of things. All valid reasons to hate it! But did anyone dumping on the book, or even its fans, actually look at the words on the page? That was my biggest problem with Ready Player One.
The writing was excruciating.
Bandits. Simple as that.
As a game developer, there’s nothing I want more than a passionate audience. Seeing Penny Arcade’s evangelical comic about Battle Chasers: Nightwar plucked an envious string in my heart. It’s exactly my kind of game: a turn-based RPG in the classic Final Fantasy style. I picked it up for Nintendo Switch to have something new to play on the bus. These are my first impressions after an hour of gameplay, having never read a Battle Chasers comic.
My Sixteen Games
Kirk Hamilton on Kotaku came up with a new type of video game list. It’s organized by how people take time to play video games, focusing more on our mood than mapping genres.
Here’s my life in video games.
Configuring Samba 5 to share a folder with full write permissions to guest users
This year I bought a Raspberry Pi to serve as a retro emulation box. It stinks.
Not anyone’s fault, really. The hardware just doesn’t have the power to run SNES games like Super Mario World at full speed. Anything NES and below is fine, as long as you’re using wired controllers.
So I turned the device into a file server using Raspbian and looked into configuring Samba 5 to allow anyone on my network to read and write files without a password.
It looked like this:
Me Suffer Now
ÛKBÛK: “Hello everyone, and welcome to your first day of orientation under the Bright Lord! My name is Ûkbûk and I’ll be your Experience Coordinator here at Cirith Ungol. We’re having these sessions in small groups so I can hear your concerns and listen to your feedback.
“I’m sure you’re a little disoriented after being forcibly branded, whether you were grabbed from behind or pounced on from a tower or because you didn’t see a human ranger sprinting directly at you in broad daylight across a flat plain while you were totally sober.”
Peace Among Worlds
What the (burp) heck was that? It’s so stupid, Morty! Wh-why-why would I do anything for the President of the United States? I don’t care about him. I only helped out with the Cromulon situation because the Earth would have been destroyed. Do you know how disruptive that would have been to my work? Now I’m harrassing this jerk on priiiinciple? You said you didn’t want the selfie. Didn’t I just say that an adventure requires stakes and a way for me to benefit? And now I’m solving the middle east peace process for fun?
I mean… okay, but it’s not what I wanted.
