Hey, thanks for letting me in on your 10,000 moment!
Another classic for you. Hopefully, this one is a new experience as well.

It’s basically a Pavlovian response from me at this point.

The length of someone’s hair has to do with people’s internal prejudices about them… unfortunately.
You’re calling this guy bigoted for just pointing that out. Now, imagine the viewpoint of someone who actually holds disdain for long-haired fellows and we begin to see how we may be beholden to at least some societal congruence - at least if we want our message heard.

- Comment on Ron Ejaculated Loudly 💦 1 week ago:
Just kinda fits with the stereotypical naming convention. Like John White for an American.

All the drivers in my state are the worst, and all the drivers from other states are the worst too.

Some fantasy is heightened by that, though.
I think CS Lewis employed a similar strategy, and Narnia is all the more fantastical for it. I mean what the fuck is going on in The Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair?

The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively.
I’ve seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples.
My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt.
All I’m saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters.
- Comment on Ron Ejaculated Loudly 💦 1 week ago:
Nope, not kidding. Clearly we disagree. It seems Mr. Cuarón’s look for a good fantasy film was a washed-out blue.
That said, I still think PoA is still the best non-Columbus movie - I just enjoy the coziness of the first two. It’s what Hogwarts felt like to me when reading the books, so I naturally like seeing that brought to screen.

Oh yeah Prisoner was great.
Going to have to disagree with you on HBP. I went through a huge Potterhead phase as a teen and I fell asleep during that movie every time I tried to watch it.
At the time, the only other movie I had ever fallen asleep during while trying to watch was After Earth. So, admittedly, I kinda wrote the HBP movie off for that reason. But I’ve tried to go back and revisit it, and I just can’t keep my eyes open!
- Comment on Ron Ejaculated Loudly 💦 1 week ago:
Fuck I forgot about that. Those movies kinda suck ass past the first two.

I mean, this is one where you don’t have to make up an example.The only Asian character in the books is named Cho Chang.

One of the top SR2 modders was working on a patch for the PC version. He already had so much notoriety that Volition hired him to make the patch official.
Then he tragically passed away before anything could come from the partnership. RIP IdolNinja.

Yep. I’ve been waiting a half a year to get the Dark Souls franchise. It has paid off well.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 3 weeks ago:
Modern locks utilize sets spring-loaded brass pins to function.
As seen in the diagram, the key raises the pin stack to the shear line so that the cylinder plug may turn, activating or deactivating the locking mechanism.
These pins come in different lengths, and can be swapped out to change the key. That’s how they mass manufacture locks that aren’t all on the same key. It’s the same line for lock cylinders, but they use different pins and keys in assembly.
That said, there are only so many combinations of depths a key can have. Most residential keys have 5 cuts, and each cut has around 7 possible depths. So, the combinations aren’t infinite but they are varied enough that a large residential area, all using the same type of lock, shouldn’t have any repeats. And if it does, who’s going around testing their key in every door?
A lock only keeps an honest person out. The point of a lock is to make it too much of a hassle for a potential thief to bother breaking in.

- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 4 weeks ago:
Might just be me but… I really like the companions in the Outer Worlds 2. They’re way better than the first game. The inability to romance them was actually a selling point to me, because I assumed that meant each character’s arc would focus on their own story unrelated to their relationship with the player, like in New Vegas.
So far, I’ve loved how Inez especially expands on the history of Auntie’s Choice. There’s one companion that’s just a little goofy, but I also don’t know how you’d do that character without making them extremely naive.
The game as a whole actually is much more fleshed-out than the first, at least thus far (halfway through). I highly recommend getting it on a sale.

You should read it. It’s short, and easily available. I read it just before the Covid lockdown, and I’m so thankful.
He later walked back his response (blowing people up) and advocated for people to heavily educate themselves on technology so they could guide it and combat it.
That said, it’s hard to disagree with most things he wrote in his manifesto.

The Transformers wiki is perfect.
Why the fuck did Hasbro release Transformers that don’t transform, though?
