No worries! Usually the memes here aren’t so technical. I only got the joke because I was required to take a class on operating systems for my degree, and we covered interrupts.

I don’t know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I’m surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn’t show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.
Quality meme op
Nine Parchments is interesting. I didn’t know the developers of Trine have been keeping so busy
I found hunt showdown to be way too serious and difficult lol. I’m trying to stay away from pvp shooters as well. Great game if it’s what you’re looking for though
Helldivers looks interesting. Based on the trailer on Steam I’m getting a starship troopers vibe.
I have fond memories of playing Trine 2 with some online friends. We haven’t gotten around to #3 yet with all the shortcomings
We played that one as well! We almost beat it I think. I will probably never forget the mosquitoes in that game because I found a beach with them a bit earlier than I should have and I proceeded to die more times than I can count trying to get my stuff back lol.
That is a good one yeah! Very silly and over the top
We actually just looked into Destiny 2 the other day, and it seems the game is taking a pay to win nosedive. +1 for Portal 2 and Borderlands. I’ll take a look at the others. Thanks!
I’ve heard nothing but good things about this one. Definitely checking it out
Always a good one! We also just played through that again recently. :)
I also pay the $10 a year or whatever to be able to store TOTP codes in Bitwarden. I love having them copied to my clipboard automatically while logging in! (Yes I know it’s less secure. I don’t care lol. I don’t feel like getting locked out of everything because I broke my phone.)
This was surprisingly interesting! Thanks for posting it. I didn’t think there was anything noteworthy to glean from it, but @Contramuffin@lemmy.world mentioned down below that USB doesn’t have interrupts, which I was unaware of. I especially liked how he covered different types of USB keyboards running at different speeds, and he briefly covered n-key rollover, or the lack thereof on the two keyboards he had on hand as well as why some key combinations fail due to shared wiring in the keyboard. The latency discussion between PS/2 interrupting and USB being polled for data at the end of the video was also fascinating.
Edit: Ben Eater did a follow-up video on how n-key rollover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lPzTU-3ONI
