Calling Little Caesars a “restaurant” is being very generous.

Mr_Wobble ,

I started replaying Witcher 3 a week or so ago. It really is an amazing game. But I will admit that the combat is just ok. It’s not awful, but it sure as heck isn’t great. The magic and other mechanics, I’d also call them just OK, maybe even occasionally bordering on less-than-good. Geralt’s movement, even just traversing or trying to loot things, can often be slippy and weird.

Thing is, all of the other parts that are important for a great RPG and narrative just shine SO much more brighter that they really make up for the very mediocre gameplay aspects. It really is more than the sum of its parts.

Mr_Wobble ,

For sure! And as much negative I said about the combat, it’s punchy, never drags on, and the enemies you fight are usually all set up well as part of the story. They’re not just random mobs, so even the fighting has good narrative weight even if it’s not the mechanically deepest ever.

This time through, I’ve been making different choices and stopping to explore more and take in more of the world. First time I played it, I had NO IDEA that if you stopped and listened to some npc convos you can pick up quests that way! Doesn’t even really feel like I’m playing it over again, or retreading the same stuff. There’s SO much in it.

Mr_Wobble ,

Newsweek is a rag I wouldn’t wipe my ass with.

Mr_Wobble ,

Apparently you’re big into cranking.

  1. Never buy a timeshare.
  2. Call Gamgam and Poppop, tell them to never buy a timeshare and that you love them.

(I didn’t read the article.)

Anyone that sends you a birthday card with cash in it should be protected.

Mr_Wobble ,

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Mr_Wobble ,

In my neck of the woods, “throwing down” means either to pay into something, or fighting.

Mr_Wobble ,

Just made me realize that partying shares a lot of slang with fighting. Throw down, bash, rage, rave. All pretty violent words. I love language.

Mr_Wobble ,

Where people often get smashed.

Good one!

Mr_Wobble ,

Nah man, you’re doing it right. You’re throwing down on the on the most bestial bag you can find and absolutely smashing the fuck out of it!

“They both come from the same French word, résumer. The Latin root of that word could be translated as “to take back” (and you can see that use on occasion, as when a deposed king “resumes the throne”), but the core meaning that links resume and résumé could better be translated as “to come back to” — in one case, to come back to an activity; in the other, to go over a series of events again in brief.”

But I’ll tell you as a native English speaker, we almost never think about words like that having different meanings and origins. We’re just really used to homographs and homophones.

Your sandwich and fries are made out of LIES!

Mr_Wobble ,

If you love a creator buy their merch, sub their patreon, mail them a coupon for a free sandwich, but for fuck’s sake DON’T buy youtube premium to try and support them.

TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it (en.wikipedia.org)

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...

Mr_Wobble ,

Roko can suck my assilisk.

Mr_Wobble ,

Fear, and other normally negative emotions too. Especially sadness. Sad movies and books are a big thing, but there are countless sad songs.

Mr_Wobble ,

Grab a t-shirt!

Mr_Wobble ,

Solidgrue treats objects like women, man!

Mr_Wobble ,

All the Disney cameos and worlds is the main draw. The action combat was fun and frenetic at times. The early games looked pretty amazing at the time they were released.

That being said, the story is one of the most needlessly convoluted tropy mountains of garbage I have ever suffered through in 40 years of gaming.

Mr_Wobble ,

As a graphic designer for 25+ years, I recommend getting used to, and enjoying, rice and beans.

Mr_Wobble ,

Plus, if you make the top of it concave, you can cook hotdogs up there in the summer!

Mr_Wobble ,

Got me with these 2! I legitimately lol’d.

Mr_Wobble ,

At this point?! My dude, do you remember horse armor? They literally started this shit.

Mr_Wobble ,

Why do people keep calling me a “nit-picker” when they really mean “pedant”?

Mr_Wobble ,

My buddy has one that shoots a literal vortex straight up your asshole. Amazing.

Mr_Wobble ,

Keep it flippin’

Mr_Wobble ,

Sweat stings too.

Mr_Wobble ,

In the year 2024, with AI and Photoshop so prevalent, and without any supporting info even suggesting legitimacy, this isn’t even mildly interesting.

Mr_Wobble ,

I stand corrected! Thank you for looking up and finding that interesting context.

I think this is how it went, it’s been years since I’ve seen the movie:

The bugs were already expanding onto other planets before they met humans. Then some extremist Mormon colonists set up a colony in the known bug zone when they were told not to. Then the bugs sent a meteor to Buenos Aires.

Mr_Wobble ,

But have you tried frothing? Just a little at the corners of your mouth really helps get the point across.

Mr_Wobble ,

I still end up using reddit in searches when I’m looking for an answer, but I’ve learned a few things I’d never have even thought about in the short time I’ve been on Lemmy.
