Honestly if I had the means and skills to survive that semi-comfortably, I’d be down for making that an annual tradition.

The last 6 months have been a long 4 years.

But we already have RL ad blockers.
Iirc the legal term is “vandalism”. The stakes are higher, but the perk is that one user can block an ad for every user, so think of it as a community effort.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 3 days ago:
If you liked Skyrim, check out Enderal - it’s a total conversion mod, but I’m Steam as it’s own game. It’s much more linear than Skyrim - the world still feels open, but it’s much more dense, and it’s scaled more like a traditional RPG, so if you wander off the intended path too far, you’ll get your ass beat by mobs that are much higher level than you.
Side quests are meh, with a notable exception of the Rhalata line, which is kind of like a combo of thieves guild and dark brotherhood. Main quest line is fucking wild.
If you skip the vast majority of side quests, you might have an issue with scaling, since you’ll be missing out on all that xp. If you run into that and don’t want to do the quests, just use the command console to cheat some in.

Did not know the painter’s name. That said, I stand by the ‘fuck Goya’ when that shitstain of a company is brought up, meme or otherwise.

They’re dissing the company.

The company. They’re affiliated with the bigoted domestic terrorists squatting in the White House.
- Comment on Lemmy devouring the artist 6 days ago:
That’s one of those companies that shouldn’t get another cent from you, ever.
- Comment on Don't tell me what to do. 6 days ago:
It’s the fried ones that are the problem: crispy = sharp edges = torn bowel = septic shock = dead.
The fresh ones with the squishy exterior should feel much more like a penis going into your ass. Choose the sauce carefully - your entire GI tract has receptors sensitive to spiciness.

‘lol-butt-plug’ aside, bass is as much about how it feels as how it sounds. I wonder if bass generation from a rectally inserted speaker would cause that booming/fluttering feeling you get in your chest at a concert.
I mean… It’s a testable hypothesis at least. For science!
- Comment on Existential dread 3 weeks ago:
This actually brings back memories, lol.
So I’m a surgical tech- I set the OR up for surgery before a case with all the supplies and instruments that specific case calls for; am the surgeon’s bitch during the operation; and tear down once it’s all done. When I first started this job, I had to write up a case report on every new surgery I did to show familiarity with the anatomy we were working around and be able to anticipate the types of instrumentation we needed, and getting info for those case reports was kind of a pain in the ass. Everything is either directed at patients (lots of detail on preop, “and then you’ll be asleep for the surgery” and lots of details on postop), or to the surgeon, which goes into WAY more detail than I needed using terminology I didn’t understand.
Enter YouTube. One of the best ways to get that data was to just look up a recording of the surgery on YouTube and just write down what I saw.
I’m also a nerd, so when I wasn’t looking up videos on surgery, I was looking up videos on things like physics or sci-fi.
Turns out that did some weird things to YouTube’s algorithm… it basically poured ‘surgery’ and ‘weird nerdy shit’ into the same cup, and started making some of the most fucked up video recommendations I’ve ever seen… one of which was a video of a guy giving anesthesia to a cockroach with ice water, and then sticking a diode or something into its little roach brain that connected to a circuit board backpack like the one shown in the OP. He could then use a remote to stimulate two different parts of its brain or something, and if he did this while it was running, it would reliably turn left or right, so… remote control cockroach.
Tbh, the pic on the OP might actually be from that same video.

There are some clips with the laugh track removed, and they really illustrate how not funny that show is. It’s just a long slew of broken conversations with awkward pauses.
I have the same opinion of any show that relies on a laugh track - if you have to trick my brain into laughing because ‘everyone else is doing it’, then your shit isn’t funny.

64gb USB stick filled to the brim with pirated music. No skipping, no ads. This is the way.

Medieval fantasy. The similarities may end there, but the point is it’s a mediocre medieval fantasy that leans heavily on tits to keep the audience watching.
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 4 weeks ago:
Game of Thrones. It was like a less interesting version of Lord of the Rings, with a few mins of porn sprinkled throughout each episode.
My take away was that if you want to watch LoTR, then watch LoTR. If you want to watch porn, watch porn. But pouring both into the same cup doesn’t make it good. …which is apparently an unpopular opinion.
- Comment on Every news article about the internet be like 5 weeks ago:
I mean, the internet is used 1) for cat videos, and 2) to spread massive amounts of misinformation, which has recently caused a surge in popularity of neonazis, particularly among Gen Z according to exit polls, and one of the first things the nazis took aim at was porn sites.
So… OP isn’t even satire - that shit happened word for word.

- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, as a stopgap that just releases out of nowhere for the sole purpose of building hype for the actual Witcher 4, kinda like how Bethesda did with their random vault dweller mobile game, I’d be all for it.
Bonus points if it’s 16 bit.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 month ago:
There were multiple endings depending on the choices you make throughout the game. Same for the two DLCs.
The ‘good’ endings were in the base game she confronts the winter and succeeds, returns to Geralt as a father figure, and lives on as a witcher. Then in the Blood & Wine DLC, Geralt basically retires in his own vineyard.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 1 month ago:
They need to release a fake “Witcher 4” that’s just an older Geralt moping around his vineyard bitching about how his knees hurt. All of his quests would be things like pestering his workers about how badass he used to be, going to town to return a watermelon to the fruit vendor because of a mushy spot he didn’t notice when he purchased it, shit like that.
All the while, the townsfolk would slip idle chatter about crazy shit that Ciri’s doing off camera.
- Comment on Star Citizen’s new cash shop offerings provoked fresh pay-to-win and predatory monetization accusations | Massively Overpowered 1 month ago:
Start Citizen looked so fucking cool when it was announced like 15 years ago. Since then it’s dipped lower and lower every single time new info comes out.
Like, the hopefully dumbasses that got burned initially like my dumb ass did with No Man’s Sky, I kinda get… but how the absolute fuck are they still getting sales?? Are there seriously still people that don’t know it’s a scam?

It was posted 8 years ago, so slightly easier to gather up those relics then.
If I had to guess, the guy might have worked IT for a school or something that went through a modernization, with all the old tech going to the dumpster; got the idea and jumped on it.
