  What about my n-gage?

  From up top, the bushes seem to be placed in the shape of a swastika.

  For no reason, apparently.

  Honestly, memes right now are the best publicity Valve could get.

  A bit off topic but, ew they are wearing shoes in bed.

  Do you know what that means? We're closing in a perpetual Mariah Carey season, the Mariahcalypse.

  It wasn't good. It was terrible.

  But also good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X-Files '90s promo shoot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, they are from David LaChappelle. That explains a lot, though those have been uncomfortably great.

  Thanks for sharing!

  Do you hate brown people?
  Do you enjoy cosplaying like a weekend warrior?
  Then come down to your local ICE office and get paid by following your two passions!

  I guess.. Haven't heard it.

  Sounds like something out of MST3K

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dispatch sells 1 million copies in 10 days⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm told this is more of interactive fiction than an actual game, and while replayability is low, I don't tend to replay games so, who cares :)

  It looks good and I like the premise, though I still have some superhero fatigue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
  • Mata Hari was Margaretha Geertruida Zelle.
  • Fritz Duqesne had at least 30 known aliases.
  • Lise de Baissac was primarily known as Irene Brisse but also Odile, Margerite and Adele.
  • Even Dušan Popov, who's allegedly the source for James Bond used in more than one occasion aliases like Duchan, Dusan or Hans: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/record?catid=8204882&catln=6
  • Eli Cohen also used a fake Syrian identity because c'mon, you won't go around with an Israeli name trying to get into the Syrian government.

  I know that double agents like Richard Sorge or Aldrich Ames would use their actual identities, but fake identities or even using the names of deceased people is very common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn't seem very clever, going around sharing your own name despite being a spy.

  Yet Ian Flemming was supposed to use his past experience in British Intelligence to come up with Bond's novels, so what do I know.

  Is there a notification list for the 9-11 inflatable slide?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it wrong that I want one?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm sure it was done in a very respectful way ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it wrong that I want one?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It's so wrong, yet it's so right.

  I don't want to banalize a tragedy but it.. Might help us remember it..? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the CG studios going bankrupt at the same time the movie they worked in incessantly is released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burn her⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: Most witch trials happened outside of the scope of the church as a centralized institution, and where instead pursued by town councils or mobs instead.

  Oftentimes an inquisitor's job was exonerating Innocents. The most famous case would be Joan of Arc.

  That said, there's a difference between early cases and late cases and the church as an institution did burn people, but in most cases it was mob "justice".

  In fact:

  "Pope Gregory VII, in 1080, wrote to King Harald III of Denmark forbidding witches to be put to death upon being suspected of having caused storms or failure of crops or pestilence."

  That said, Heresy was super punished in the most extreme ways (see the Cathars).

  So in reality it wasn't religion itself but people that are super duper shitty.

  Is this the final step in enshittification?

  I like them both equally. I'm just concerned because one day dolphins will wisen up and figure out we are the root of all their problems.

  Cyberpunk 2077, you have to save two of the most incompetent cops that exist. For such a dark and depressing universe, whenever there are hints of humor those always get me.
