Yah… Another casualty of the Netflix.
You know you messed up when the biggest fanboy of the IP (who is built like a greek statue) wants to play the main character, and then walks away because they feel that the producers are no longer adapting the thing they were a fan of and are off writing their own fanfic.

I understood that reference.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 6 days ago:
I dont mind that, so long as the food is cheap.
My personal limit for that is ~20$, anything less than that and within reason, I wont question buying anyone food. Calories are important and im not going to judge people that quickly, have a pizza.
I prefer to have that meal repaid in the future with an IOU or another meal rather dealing with money, also the social connections are more important.
On the flip side, if I never see that person again. 20$ well spent.

Not going to lie, Ive been using this joke ever since 47 tried doing that. Wasn’t it nice back when the daily distractions for the epstine files were attempts to rename shit instead of actual impeachable actions.

Most people live in the northern hemisphere, winter in January is cold and miserable for a lot of the planet. What do you think people are supposed to do inside? Play checkers?

Seconding steam deck, but also need to add in the docking station. That formfactor has stolen my heart, it does mobile gaming, along with having the horse power to be a PC substitute at home.
In addition to SteamOS, but ill let others promote linux and sticking it to microsoft now that linux desktops are finally crossing the “it just works” finish line.

You dont write the number of feet in a mile as 14A0 (base-16 for this example).
Your complaining about ratios used for unit conversion, not base numeral systems… Fuck, this feels like a slashdot comment.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 4 weeks ago:
The feet to mile conversion is still in base-10… Its the ratios between the units that are seemingly arbitrary. Come on…

I prefer the French Toast or Waffle House Indexes for unofficial silly weather measurement.

Regan pitched a fit and removed the solar panels Carter left on the roof when he left office. This is just more proof the regressive party has no taste.

Sanity is over-rated, now if yall dont mind. Im going to spend the rest of my day swimming in a lake that thinks its a gin+tonic.

Old Radio Shack, not that thing from 2015 that was functionally a brick and mortar cellphone stand.

For the bottom machine, run the faucet for a few seconds before you put your cup under it. Last thing anyone wants is half-watered down cherry coke or homeopathic fanta.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 3 months ago:
I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would not have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).
I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.

Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)

Daniel Radcliff famously did something like that when he was on broadway. Got 10 sets of the same shirt, hat, and jeans, left half at home and half at the theatre. Came and left wearing the same thing for year so the images coulden’t be dated. Paparazzi made no money off him and threw a fit over it, twas glorious.

My nerd herd likes the game, although we quickly have been adding mods to ramp up the difficulty and add some quality of life stuff. For a social game, I like it over Lethal Company because everyone gets to participate and there is no designated AFK role that watches the cameras or activates the teleporters.
- Comment on WoW's Leeroy Jenkins, one of the internet's oldest memes, turns 20 years old—and after looking back on what we wrote in 2005, I feel like we've failed Leeroys everywhere 4 months ago:
I feel like Leeroy Jenkins is the millenials “Jeronimo”, I 100% shout it in its place and I can assure you some shouted it while jumping out of an airplane and their instuctor or officer had no clue what they were talking about, and that will always make me chuckle.

- Comment on Checkmate, Atheists! 5 months ago:
The historic context that makes Inferno so damn funny is that Dante wrote most of it while in exile from Florence and had a massive axe to grind with the people responsible for it. Glossing over the boring parts you can find on his wikipedia page, his family, and by extension Dante were supporters of a political party within the papal states (early 1300s) and they got ousted from their positions. While traveling around Italy, he penned “The Divine Comedy”, a story about himself bumming around the christian afterlife with the Roman poet Virgil.
Overly Sarcastic Productions has a good overview of the basic plot Link, and Im quite a fan of their work (this is one of their older videos). The part that this meme is calling attention to is that Dante wrote several recently deceased popes and many of his political rivals into his self-insert fan-fiction of hell (Inferno). In modern parlance, he was being a massive troll, but that work is also so influential that many practicing christans can’t tell the difference between the afterlife according to their own scripture (which there is very little actual description of) and its pop-culture interpritation by our Italian mad lad condeming people who screwed him over in life to enternal torment in his own renaissance live-journal.

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky bow and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.
