It’s not the herp, it’s the derp.

Aren’t those guys kinda anti-federalist, except where it benefits them?

I, also, am hip and with it. Witness my funky fresh lingo and in-your-face attitude, home skillet.

Alpha Centauri with the Alien Crossfire dlc

Best 4x ever.

slingstone ,

That would be phenomenal, but I imagine it’s unlikely.

However, if we’re in the realm of unlikely scenarios, maybe they can give me a follow-up to Xcom: Enemy Within that proceeds from an Xcom victory in the first game. I never got into Xcom 2 because it ignored the buildup to the greater enemy foreshadowed at the end of Enemy Within. Not knocking those who liked what we got…it just didn’t work for me.

I miss Looney Tunes so much.

What a shpadoinkle word!

Nah, dude. Just wait until the deceased field gets oversaturated. All the hordes of people wandering pointlessly, everybody trampling over everyone else trying to eat the organs of the living…it’s a dead end job that’ll get worse with time.

I mean, a rocket will get you past the sky, so…

God, I’m still so sad that that universe went so off the rails. It’s like the GoT of online fiction.

Honestly, I could deal with Adrian’s shenanigans just fine. That whole thing was supposed to be over the top, so they shifted most of his story to non-canonical status. I understood why, at the time. But then, the main storyline moved on to a lot of odd muscle porn stuff that was kinda not important to the story. I was dealing with that when I came across a thread lamenting the fact that the actual Gilgamesh of ancient legend was coming into the story as a living character somehow. I read ahead to confirm, and then I gave up. It was just one ridiculous bridge too far. The beautiful HFY story I’d started reading all the way back with Kevin Jenkins (whose character transformed in some nonsensical ways himself) was just too off the rails for me at that point. Add the dismissive treatment of female characters later on, and it was just another story ruined for me. So many great characters and so much unrealized potential…

There were some seriously emotional stories in the Jenkinsverse, but there were so many side stories that went nowhere. I’ve just been disappointed too many times to continue to sort through it all.

If you liked it all, more power to you. It had some pretty fantastic moments. It just transformed too far away from what I enjoyed about it for me to continue.

First real guffaw I’ve had in a while. Dry humor is the best humor.

Good one, bro!

slingstone ,

Naw, that’s a South American Giganotosaurus in the picture. Much bigger.

Loved this game.

Fun fact, the two lead characters showed up again as soldiers in Valkyria Chronicles.

Could you drink distilled water with a mineral pill

Drinking pure H2O isn’t good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water? Or would you need more time to dissolve the minerals?...

Making an important distinction, my friend.

In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it (thehill.com)

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online....

slingstone ,

If someone wanted to purchase this legal weed, say, in South Carolina, is there a guide somewhere indicating what is legally available in that jurisdiction?

Asking for a friend…

slingstone ,

I liked Google+, mostly because it wasn’t Facebook, I guess.

slingstone ,

And now I’m blind. Thanks!

Didn’t gun control ramp up when the Black Panthers started exercising their rights to bear arms? Funny thing is the Panthers seem much more like a “well-regulated militia” than this Wild West, permitless carry, anything goes BS.

RIP SGU

I dug the whole album, but this is a banger for sure.

This game rocks. I love the fact that I’ve got a home brew version on my Wii of all things. Getting it back on the PC, though…I used to be able to do crazy crap with the Arilou Skiff using the keyboard controls. Never felt the the same with a controller or a touch screen.

Why couldn’t we switch back to glass as our primary container material? Wasn’t that always fully recyclable?

Huzzah! Felicitations to you and your canine companion upon this most auspicious day!

They’re in the studio working on the soundtrack, of course.

I was searching the thread to see if everyone called them that or if it was regional.

slingstone ,

Does anybody remember the way the floors had a springiness to them and how they squeaked and creaked as you walked across them?

How about the mental kind of threshold-looking strip in the middle of the floor from wall to wall where I believe they had connected two halves together, if I recall?

slingstone ,

Gentlemen, gentlemen! There’s no need to fight!

However, if you would continue, I would be greatly amused.

NOTE: No offense intended with the “gentlemen” line if either of you is not male–I’m just trying to preserve the spirit of this Victorian era-style psuedoscientific slap fight.

I heard the song in my head.

This is the correct answer.

Is there any resource for forecasting what will likely occur in a given area? I don’t see how we can stop climate change now, so I want to prepare my family for it.

slingstone ,

Yeah, but the changes to weather patterns will vary from location to location, right?

This is what I mean:

Warming is already occurring in all areas of the globe, but models of future temperatures show that the changes will not be distributed equally. Polar regions and land areas are expected to see the largest temperature changes.

I enjoy Sam’s Club’s “Scan and Go” feature in their app. I scan my items and pay in the app. I never have to interact with a soul, and that’s peachy keen in my book.

slingstone ,

I’m sorry I ever let mine go. It was a great emulation platform, and I ran all kinds of retro games on it. I also miss Skies of Arcadia, which I’ve always felt was underrated.

slingstone ,

I read the “your” as singular at first, raising the troubling specter of people having their multiple asses cleaned. If it weren’t for an ancient South Park reference with Dr. Mephisto’s multi-assed mutants, I think I’d be worried about how my mind works. Maybe I should be, anyway.

The high level of sheer incompetence at all levels, but especially in management. I’m lucky to work with competent folks directly, but the sheer amount of work created by stupidity outside of my department is soul-crushing. I can present definitive proof of systemic failures all day long, and no one is interested in doing a damned thing if the people or departments in question are politically powerful within the organization. Neither I nor my immediate colleagues are perfect, but we acknowledge our failures and try to create solutions. So many others, though, seem so invested in the status quo beyond all reason.
