  Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually did some googling and there are some okay-ish articles debating this topic. All of them said “it depends”, which isn’t really helpful.

  It got me thinking, though… how much savings would you need to make it worth it to you? ($20 savings? $100 savings? $500 savings?)

  The oil heater is going to cost ~$50 to purchase if you don’t already have one. That means you’ll at least need to save $50 just to break even. So over the winter, your electric bill will need to drop by $50 plus whatever the dollar amount you need in order for it to be “worth the trouble” for you.

  If an extra $50 over the winter in savings ($100 total) is worth it to you, I think you have a high chance of an oil room heater getting you that savings over your central heating. I’m doubtful how much more you’d be able to save beyond that. (I didn’t do the math on it, but based on the articles I read, the oil heater is going to be cheaper in general.)

  Another thing to consider: The oil heater is likely to be a lot more convenient to use than the central air option and having to close all the other vents in your house though.

  Wut?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to clean a rescued pigeon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, definitely missed some important context.

  I guess it thought OOP meant “clean” as in how do you dress the bird before you cook it. (As in: “clean a fish” means to filet a fish and prep it for cooking.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t end up playing new games much because I’m such a deal hog, so this is really nice to read :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You are not a buzzkill, I think. This skit had a couple of things going for it:

  1. Halloween can always use more “mascots” and this is one.
  2. I admit that I originally didn’t like this skit, but my brother-in-law did, and I like him, so after watching it always made me think of him until eventually it became something I genuinely liked.
  3. I quote lines from this skit to my SO all the time, so it’s become kind of embedded into my life.
  4. SNL during this time wasn’t very funny to me. I think that since SNL sucked during this time, even moderately funny skits ended up exploding in popularity just because they weren’t the usual onslaught of comedians stumbling over their lines and ruining jokes. Weekend Update was pretty funny, though.

  So in short, my friend, it’s not really funny. It was a moment, and you may have missed it. But let me say this, I think you’re cool for kicking off Spooky season…

  … Almost as cool as DaViD ESS pUmKiNs!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Facebook and Instagram still provides web interface when most of their users use the Android or IOS app?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was really hoping this would say “why does Facebook and Instagram provide a web interface when their crappy platforms rarely show content unless you’re using their app”.

  At this point it’s purely a performance that they even offer a web interface to their platform.

  Same goes for Twitter.

  It is definitely scary. I want to remind you that you were once a decently happy person and that therapy (both individual and couples therapy) is likely one of the few options you have to move back in that direction.

  It’s worth it (speaking from experience). That weight on your shoulders is just waiting to come off, but you likely need a bit of help to get things started.

  I’ve found some applications for it, honestly.

  I made a work bench with oak 4x4s for legs and dado’d in pine 2x4s for the cross braces. Nice and sturdy with a good enough fit and no movement I noticed over the past 3 years.
