Ooh, that’s pretty neat and a simple way to keep track of things.

Why does Right Sheep have green and blue spots?

Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill

Tell them “do the thing”

Without fail, you will hear a quick “bzz-bzz” as they double-tap the trigger.

It’s part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.

I remember a friend of mine whining about how my text bubble was a different color and it “made it weird” to text because of that.

By then I was already super over the whole tribalistic iphone/android bs from people I know when it wasn’t being meme’d on, so I just told her “you can either get over it, or we can stop talking and being friends”

Wouldn’t you know it, the color of a text bubble isn’t enough to end a friendship over.

Ah, no true scottsman adult, then.

questioned whether there was sufficient evidence of uncontacted peoples in the area, saying the territory had been tied up for nearly two decades

“it’s been 1/5 of a human lifespan, obviously nobody is still there since I haven’t seen them.”

As if they’d all have died off in 20 years or nobody contacting them somehow makes it fair game?

I don’t enjoy side-scrollers.

But I DO enjoy supporting people in the things they create.

Who cares if it’s not my cuppa. Who cares if there’s 10,000 similar things out there? And who cares if it doesn’t land on any “TOP TEN” lists?

Is hollow knight my thing? Nope.

But it’s rad as hell.

You can either join me in sitting around a small fire and discussing rc stuff, star trek, guns, and how functionally unregulated capitalism is destroying the planet, or you can keep moving.

I hope you’ll join me, I’m making breakfast. Eggs, potatoes, bacon, biscuits, and pancakes if you’re okay with some mildly overcooked spots.

If it’s noticeable, it’s bad design.

I’ve had games where I so far ahead of the computer, I get slowed to easily half speed, and when looking at the mini map I can see the computer catching up at impossible rates, plowing through 270° turns at Mach 7. That’s just not fun. It’s not challenging. It’s just bullshit in disguise.

I’ve also had games where I’ve been told the rubber banding is bad, but I’ve never noticed it. Maybe I’m just bad at Need for Speed Heat?

However, racing games aren’t my thing anymore, I end up just driving around chilling. Sometimes playing “how long can I obey traffic laws before someone taps me and I rage smash their car” and all that.

Do iiiiiiiiiit.

Let’s do it.

Let’s fucking do it.

I think we should do it.

linguists

Those damn linguists, always so cunning in their ways.

NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR

Me, staring at my alarm about to go off in 5 minutes after tossing and turning for an hour: “this is the single most comfortable spot in the universe and I am so sleepy now”

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

Oh my god so much yes.

Make it chilly enough to wear an oversized hoodie and I will never leave.

You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

What do those tidbits of info have in common?

Well that’s up to the reader.

TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.

He was a union man.

The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.

0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”
