It seems I managed to block McZee from my memory. After a quick search, I’m glad I did.

It was 3D movie maker. I looked it up after I made the comment, and forgot to reply or update.
I remember it being janky as hell.

This just unlocked a memory of playing something similar but it was pre 2005 and did not look like the screenshots.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
A similar reaction when you see someone suddenly has a joint Facebook account with their spouse. Or when out of nowhere they start posting bible quotes 10 times a day with photos of their spouse and kids. (Someone’s been a cheatin.)
- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
I can technically claim I started with a hand me down C64 from my grandmother in the early 90s. But I was like 6 years old, and I didn’t really get into computers until we got a Windows 95 machine a couple of years later. Though by 99-2000 I was regularly playing around with the C64 for the novelty of what felt like ancient tech.

Wow. I really feel like I am comparing apples to oranges back in ancient Egypt!

- Comment on Amazon unveils prototype AI smart glasses for its delivery drivers 2 weeks ago:
One of my best friends is an Amazon delivery driver. This is just going to make his miserable job even more miserable.
- Comment on Why would I buy this? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t.
But I know people who only play COD and Madden. So if that’s all you are ever going to play, I guess it might make sense to spend all your gaming money on it?
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 2 weeks ago:
The new season of King of the Hill, S14E9 “No Hank Left Behind” nailed that boot camp thing. Starts off as an Andrew Tate parody, ends with Hank teaching a bunch of near incels the error of their ways.

- Comment on photopea.com now locks out users blocking ads 4 weeks ago:
Same. I just checked and it’s working fine for me on Zen browser with adnauseum. No ads present, and no popups about ad blockers either.

Whatever it takes to free up more budget to pay the football coach more.

The janitor at my high school had a masters in philosophy.

The mitochondria better still be the power house of the cell. Or we are going to flip some tables and burn the place down.
- Comment on Yummy 1 month ago:
More the other way around. The m&ms and raisins pick up salt from the other stuff which is what is gross to me.
- Comment on Yummy 1 month ago:
The weird thing is I absolutely love raisins by themselves. But I despise them as an ingredient in anything. Terrible in cookies. I hate trail mix because I don’t like sweet and salty together.
- Comment on Yummy 1 month ago:
I’ve had some good ones. But most of them are terrible. Usually because they put raisins in them.
- Comment on Zoom’s CEO agrees with Bill Gates, Jensen Huang, and Jamie Dimon: A 3-day workweek is coming soon thanks to AI 1 month ago:
The only reason they would consider a 3 day work week is to make all their employees “part time” and deny them benefits.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
I haven’t played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it’s just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.

Dove & Jalapeno poppers are a labor day tradition here in Texas.

Sounds like a Robot Chicken sketch. Imagine it animated with claymation.
- Comment on bmw 2 months ago:
A good friend of mine was a BMW mechanic for years. He favorite joke was: “You know what the most sole crushingly pointless job is? The guy who installs turn signals at the BMW factory.”
- Comment on bmw 2 months ago:
The Altimas turn signals simply don’t work. The driver is unaware.
The BMWs signals work fine. The driver just thinks they are too good to use turn signals.

I should have dragged the trashcan outside and asked them to help me take it to the dumpster.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I went to college in a small town, there was a festival every fall in the old downtown area, and a religious group would get a booth right in front of the bar we liked to go to. They would forcibly hand out those tiny little new testaments to everyone trying to walk into the bar. The bar owner put a 50 gallon trash can right inside the door. It was full of those bibles. Such a waste of paper.
- Comment on The regrets of life 2 months ago:
See, my cynical self assumed they both were hoping to lock you down as a BF or husband to mooch off of you, and cheat like crazy while you are deployed.
Maybe I have just heard those stories too many times, from people I know who were in the military.
- Comment on They don't make 'em like they used to 2 months ago:
Fun fact: It’s still used to describe an access hole in a barrel, or drum. At work, I sell stuff that sometimes comes in 55gal drums. I regularly have to explain what a bunghole is to people who have never worked with drums before, because they think I am being vulgar at first.
