Maybe it’s just the nostalgia of it, but the flying through the tunnel while andross monologues at you, then the tunnel ends and this evil dude, who you’ve never seen as anything but a disembodied face, he just appears as a disembodied face for starfox 64 was fantastic. inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=BSUW2Rsej7I

The little girl, with everything in the game building up the tension and discovering just what the hell is going on… and then you slowly walk up behind her and she looks at you, giggles, and explodes

Slightly (now) past middle aged white women, from what I hear my friends and coworkers yammer on about when the conversation turns to movies.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 1 day ago:
I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It’s a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you’re originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.
- Comment on found an anti-vax book at my library 1 day ago:
Damn. I was homeschooled for a year while sick, and my parent nuts trying to find the absolute best material so I didn’t fall behind. It’s repulsive that any parent would purposefully give shoddy education. That’s the stuff you always think is relegated to weird religious cults somewhere, which, I suppose, should be a wake up call about what we’re currently dealing with.

The UTVs? Yeah, those things are just insane dune buggies with better PR. Watching one run from the cops was an experience out in the boonies, let me tell you.
- Comment on Golf Cartification of My City 2 days ago:
You have interesting laws if that’s the case. My place specifically mentions motor vehicles, so even bicycles, which can be considered ‘traffic,’ won’t get you a case.
- Comment on found an anti-vax book at my library 2 days ago:
nd it has some the best circulation of any of our books
God, but that’s just sad and, well, infuriating.

Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That’s a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.

Well how else are men supposed to get pregnant? Gotta have an egg to get fertilized.

Kid should have told the mother that he was studying to be a vet. I know a fella who works three months a year (during the breeding season), and for each little slice he makes in a doe, he nets somewhere between $300-$1000. A single rich rancher can have dozens or hundreds of deer that they want to selectively breed to get bigger, more ‘prize-worthy’ bucks that can fetch a high hunting fee for folks willing to pay for it. All the feller has to do is the last step of the IVF, not even the semen collection bit, so he shows up, works for about a week at each ranch, and moves on.
It’s mind boggling how much money he brings in.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 5 days ago:
I’ve seen people asking for up to $500 for a commission. It was a pretty intricate commission, but they obviously get it. The ones that I just can’t believe are the very obvious character drawn naked, and then some clothes are added on top. Then a streamer style bullshit goes on where after they get X amount of money, a piece of clothing is removed. I’ve seen people, in an aggregate, toss thousands at those. Boggles my mind.
- Comment on Public service announcement for Matrix Users: If you thought nobody is writing you because nobody likes you, fear not, its just the servers having a meltdown today 1 week ago:
Lol, I figured it out when I was reading through issues on the github, and just decided to check the server status after about an hour… oops.
- Comment on Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater 1 week ago:
It sounds like he’s just a dev who’s in over his head but either doesn’t want anyone to take his baby or doesn’t want people to see his sloppy and possibly insecure code
I’d bet it’s a LOT more along the lines of the second guess, because it’s now cost his wife her job and has gotten him quite publicly tagged along with it. He’s got a large portion of himself invested in it, and of course it will sting and suck for a bunch of folks to come along and point out, both gently and horribly, knowing OSS folks, all the shortcomings and then make changes.

He’s out on the back porch right now, but I bet if I present this to him he might let me fellate him until he adds the special sauce.

I mean, I’m much more partial to the combination of accretion and secretion and pee… so peeccretions.

4/10.
Great for its intended use, but performs very poorly at some fork functions.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the match 3 stuff, but there are a lot of ‘adult’ games that are beyond that. Go play The Last Sovereign and tell me it isn’t better than all the final fantasies, I dare you.

I’ve still got the original visual novels sitting on my backup drive, somewhere. I played through the major first storyline, but hadn’t gotten around to UBW and… oh boy, heaven’s something? Definitely was a great read, even after starting with the anime.

Man, you’re mean. You can’t recommend that without at least a warning of the box of tissues that you’ll need nearby. You’ll be responsible for water stains on desks everywhere.

Italians can suck my short toe. They didn’t even come up with the pizza, it was italian heritage immigrants. Same thing for people who complain about deep dish pizza (which is really just a weird lasagna/casserole) not being pizza.

Why do we need a spiderman? I’ve got two granny-pusses and a grandpaussy in the retirement home that can come put a squash on any shenanigans.
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 2 weeks ago:
One of the typical bits of advice for elderly folks walking around is a five pound limit on carried items, so five kilos is probably going to affect things more. Poor mobility is a downward line though, not a sudden switch that is flipped, so there is a range of walking difficulties and I’m sure some of that range will be helped by a device like this.

Luckily you can already get those at your local stable AND with a bit of leather at your local bdsm club!

Agreed, but why did you post it in this community?
The account is a random as random gets bot for its posting. Just go have a look at its spamming of the nsfw lemmy.

I’m going to be honest with you, mate, I can’t really make out what you’re meaning very clearly from the pictures. The scale and coherency is off between each picture, and the school ratings one specifically is sort of scattered enough that I can’t tell much of a trend beyond more orange than green in the middle bottom with some random blue everywhere.

Yeah, that one was the one that surprised me. I would have guessed she was supposed to be late 20s.
