:o

Time to do another run later tonight, too, I suppose… lol. Thanks!

Just saw today that Beetle Moses published his first anthology book today. Recommend checking it out if you’re in the US, it’s bizarre.

I inherently distrust anyone religious, but it’s not really up to me and he seems like a very reasonable pick for Texas. Plus, y’all actually got a real primary! That’s rare!

With the comments talking about Crockett taking the same mistakes as Harris, it reminded me of when Harris, a DA at the time, ran for Senate here in CA. We didn’t really get serious opposition in that primary, even though the next highest was the house member (?) representing Santa Ana. She… uh… dabbed during a debate. It was a desperate move in a race drowning in money and favoritism for Harris. Harris won the primary by like, 30+ points iirc.

Now things don’t look like they can simply be bought as easily like that. People are paying attention and are rightfully pissed off at the DNC, AIPAC and the rest.

It’s quite simple; we’re trying to find our lost comrades. I had a magical moment when not one, but two people who joined my group on an MMO were using CachyOS. It’s like meeting your triplets separated at birth.

You only find out if you bring it up, lol.

I oddly haven’t tuned in yet, but I remember when they started the podcast since Marshall is a regular on atheist podcasts I regularly listen to, like God Awful Movies.

He’s always subjected himself to bullshit though; after all, his other work has him interviewing batshit crazy conspiracy folks and scammy snake oil woo folk.

Most recently, Slay the Princess. It’s a VN, and I typically do not play VNs, but wow. It’s actually quite amazing and I can’t actually tell you why because it’d spoil it.

I get pleasantly surprised all the time though, since I like to use a randomizer to choose my next game sometimes. I think one of the other experiences was the Rusty Lake games. I got them in a bundle and since it was a puzzler, I had my friend join me in comms and it was… very strange. But we will use references from those games as insider nods to one another.

Yes, but when I had a 7 recently it was hard to aim. The whole shower looked like a Jackson Pollock.

Yeah, it’s my first time with it. Even as a check list it’s an insane amount of content. I’ll need a detox with something smaller afterwards!

Also, I like the hard stuff but subsets help keep that sorted so it doesn’t scare people away. White 2 has a challenge mode that was bugged at release but the RA patch fixes it. It’s not too hard and it’s kinda fun being challenged in Pokemon for once since I used to play competitively and actually know some strategy, haha.

Given that I will sometimes reflect for a whole day on just a comment getting a couple down votes, I can’t imagine how someone who actually posts stuff feels.

But hey, it’s the world wide web, you’re bound to get a few people like that just like driving on a freeway, there’s always a possibility of someone brake checking you because they disliked your coexist bumper sticker or something.

Nice, totally with you on using RA as a checklist for these games (especially after multiset). It feels a bit more guided, especially as they add more and more gimmicks over the years. In post game, it’s practically essential.

White 2 is still kicking my butt because it’s just so, so much stuff. Emerald at least is probably a bit more tame. I’ve still got to beat battle subways, star in movies, beat the Elite 4 with every type, and do every post game tournament including battles with all previous games gym leaders… Plus a 400+ Pokemon capture/evolve/breed list which is just the White 2 only dex entries.

I teach, so trying to adjust old ppts for lecture got a little weird because it turned the bulletpoints into mailboxes, and equation formulas are done completely differently so libre just makes them uneditable (a picture?).

When things got wonky in lecture though I managed just fine. My students are much worse, they open shit in non-MS apps all the time (.notes for takehome exams, or like, keynote, whatever) and fuck up formatting all the time, often without even realizing it. (I do provide PDF alternatives at least). Explaining I use libre really easy in that case, lol.

Oh sure, but when I created the plutonium golem, that was too dangerous. Pfft.

Ironically, Huffman doesn’t seem to be in the Epstein files. This isn’t because he isn’t a pedophile-- he very likely is-- but he simply wasn’t important enough of a person for them to invite him or even talk about him.

It uh… It actually gets considerably worse? But sure, faster, around halfway.

8 chapters of open world, remaining is more like FFXIII linear gameplay with a story that obviously was written by someone else. The pacing changes dramatically, too. You’ll know the halfway mark because you will be warned you can’t go back to the open world.

The DLC has it’s moments, I guess. You kind of need it to fully get the story.

I wonder what that would entail. It’s such a drastic change that is probably something big.

For what it’s worth you can also use a magnifying glass to create designs in wood; it doesn’t have to be for ant murder.

My add to this is a graphing calculator because you can put games on it and parents simply didn’t (and probably still don’t) know. You thought I was doing calculus? Ha level 19 in Tetris.

Oh I love those themes, I also sometimes use the 98 one on Plasma and it makes people do a double take.

Meanwhile a surprising number of outlets are advertising %100, including corporate ghouls like iHeartRadio. Hopefully that trend continues as people get sick of slop pushed in marketing.

Interestingly, many skip that first step. Iirc, it’s about 30% who don’t get more awake but rather start to relax under caffeine. About the same % who also need to poop right after, but not the same people. Lol
