Imagine if someone came into the bar you frequent and said this about you.
The regulars like Spot are what keep them in business.

I love the groove. Problems start arising when they sell enough to gain Greatest Hits status 😬

You’ll be among the pool of husbands and dads who also had to go. Enjoy not waiting for the bathroom the whole concert.
But yes, you are overthinking it. Go have fun and do what you do naturally. Maybe you don’t have to constantly be giddy every second for 2 hours.

How about some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound?
- Comment on Anon learns a new spell 2 weeks ago:
Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you’re going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Here’s why:
Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol’ American hot lead.
Basilisk? Let’s see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren’t looking at it–you’re looking at a picture of it.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it’s because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you’re going to say: “But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!” Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don’t think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort’s wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry’s would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let’s see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
I can see it now.…Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can’t be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
“Well then I guess it’s a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1.”
And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

- Comment on Hideo Kojima learned "so many ways to kill people" in training, says it's "kind of sad" many devs "don't know how to dismantle a gun or shoot a gun" despite making military games 2 weeks ago:
Actually though. Call of Duty is just Fortnite now. I miss when those guns were licensed from the manufacturers and modeled with care.

- Comment on Alabaster Dawn (CrossCode sequel) - Demo Release Date Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Nice. The first time I ever played CrossCode, I was shocked at how much it felt like a Nintendo DS game. The sprites, UI, and music are so representative of the DS era. Plus, playing the game with Mouse & Keyboard controls is so reminiscent of using the stylus for games it’s ridiculous.
It looks like they’re doing the same thing with this, except it looks like a 3DS game. I’m in.
- Comment on Leaked image suggests the next Battlefield game will be called Battlefield 6 - and the reveal event is coming very soon 4 weeks ago:
Almost anything with 6 at the end of the title feels tedious at this point.
Make a trilogy, and then follow the public’s opinion after that. If people are trashing your new games, it’s time to stop.
I guess some people will buy anything though.

- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen advice to turn the firewall on, but that would probably mess up any multiplayer.
Tbh I just started playing Unciv instead, which is an open-source recreation of Civ V + G&K, with a BNW mod already existing.
AFAIK, there are mods that add Civ VI rules as well. It’s been great for me because you can play it on your phone, so you can start a Marathon game with your friends and just crack out a few turns throughout the day.

Yeah, Librewolf is kinda the best web browser. I still need to use Firefox for some things that just have to be invasive, like I think my bank needs the browser to be a little less locked down, but man I love just browsing the web and only seeing what I want to see.

No problem, friend! I hope you enjoy yourself!
Due to being made by such a small team (Toby Fox made most of the game himself, to my knowledge), Undertale has a really unique creative vision. It’s definitely Earthbound-inspired, but there’s nothing like the music, art, and humor of Undertale. It’s a game for the ages for sure.
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 1 month ago:
Spiritual successor, AFAIK. You would definitely get a lot more out of it if you played Undertale first. But, if the first two chapters are anything to go by, all of the things originally from Undertale have been totally repurposed. For instance, quite a few NPCs from Undertale show up with the same characterization but no memory of the world and events in Undertale.
Though, knowing Toby Fox, there’s either a huge twist or something super meta tying the worlds together at the end.
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 1 month ago:
Hmm, would have thought the reputation preceded the community a bit more. All the more reason for people to play Deltarune, out now on Steam.

idk is it really an in-joke to imply Deltarune fans are gay?

All the more reason to build statues of her when we sort out some more serious problems.
I love Dolly. Her kindness and grace is an example to the world. She spent her own money to help rebuild the Gatlinburg area after fires destroyed it. She has a free program called Imagination Library that sends monthly books to children. It started regionally, and now she offers it to multiples countries.
She is so much better than the government of Tennessee. There’s a reason everyone wanted her to run for Governor.

Yes, it does look delicious.
But I can’t help but think about this being the consequences of dying everything we eat unholy colors. Maybe radioactive material wouldn’t be so tasty looking if we didn’t give kids candy that looks like radioactive material.
