Being a draftsman kind of hits these boxes. Sometimes it's a struggle to get through the bits that you don't like to do, and everyone is different in that regard, but part of the creative aspect imo is finding inventive ways to automate as much of the tasks you don't like as possible and then enjoy the ones you do like.

The polyglot's sensible chuckle of the day.

Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him to cheat since he was caught cheating before, but I do believe the reason the Trump admin asked to keep any vulnerabilities under wraps is not so they could exploit them, but so they could delay the announcement of finding them after the results came in and invalidate the results if they ended up losing.

Bioware was already rotting in the mass grave where formerly successful studios they bought spend their last days being milked of any remaining collective goodwill in the gaming zeitgeist before being summarily executed.

This was just them posting the obituary we all knew was coming.

Stop trying to follow the logic here, because that never occurred to her when drafting this post. This is all political kabuki. She can see clear as day that Trump's cohort are burning through what little political power they have remaining and will soon be ousted, and she's positioning herself as the sane conservative candidate by distancing herself from their most extreme decisions/policies. When the dust clears she'll have a head start campaigning for whatever office she wants.

Make no mistake, she's a true believer in all the shit that got us to this fucked up situation we find ourselves in. The first part of her post is just the "normal" kind of extremism that seems blase compared to the firehose of daily scandals coming from the WH.

Great way to have people tell on themselves, however.

A red flag doesn't even describe it. It's more like a jolly roger or a hazmat placard. They are announcing their tacit support for an idiot fascist.

Get some heavy duty wire cutters, that would be the easiest method, but if you don't have any you can just take a hammer to that plastic bit and obliterate it. Heck, even a hefty stone would work.

Even though it came out on the PS4, it's backwards compatible with the PS5. Keeping it exclusive still means that the game can sell a system if someone really wants to play it bad enough.

Of course, that probably accounts for less than 1% of people who purchase a PS5 at this point, but you and I have probably put more thought into this in this one single thread than the entire board of directors at Sony did. To them, games are transactional and old games are not worth bothering with at this point.

Hopefully the next true American patriot will outperform the low bar set by Crooks and we won't need to speculate.

Nothing will change until they fear for their lives.

For as long as I live I'll never understand how people could see that unveiling where the doofuses on stage hurl a big metal ball at the "bulletproof" glass and watch it crack during the live demo, and still think "Yeah I'll pre-order one of those".

Manchildren, fascist sympathizers, and deeply unserious or delusional people drive these cars. There is no "I bought it before I knew how crazy Elon was."

Call your championship title the World Series.

Don't invite the rest of the world.

A socialist walks into a bar. He says that everyone who is able to pay for their own drink should, but those that cannot afford one can have one on the house and then the more wealthy patrons will reimburse the bar. Everybody has a good time.

A very specific Republican walks into a bar. He says that he is fabulously wealthy and that drinks are on him tonight. Everybody drinks to excess. The Republican refuses to pay his tab and leaves with his wealthy friends without saying a word. The bar tries to go after him, but he threatens to take them to court. The other patrons are either unable or unwilling to pay, having drank their fill on the promise that they would not have to. The bar cannot afford to fight a long legal battle, and cannot afford to pay their workers without reimbursement. The bar closes. The republican writes an op-ed in the local newspaper complaining about how homeless and minorities skipping out on their tabs is what killed his favorite bar.

So... which higher up at the JW organization needed a life saving transfusion? No way they changed their minds on this unprompted.

Every single one of them need lengthy prison sentences. "Just following Elon's instructions" should not be an adequate defense.

My understanding is that they've always wanted to port it to PC since it was an incredibly successful title, but they had licensing issues with Sony thay prevent them from doing so.

In other words, don't blame From Software, blame the suits at Sony for thinking that keeping Bloodbourne as a console exclusive forever will somehow translate to selling more Playstations.

People don't remember that the whole world used to smell like cigarettes.

Ever go to a casino in Las Vegas? Like that, but everywhere all the time.

Wait, why do people actually believe that you need to be Force sensitive to activate a lightsaber?

You're telling me Luke, who would not even begin asking questions about what the Force was for several more scenes, was handed a lightsaber from Ben Kenobi - a device he has never seen in person before, and activated it?

When Han solo cut open the belly of Luke's tauntaun, was he using the Force to activate his lightsaber? Or was a delirious Luke on the brink of death helping him so that they both didn't freeze to death?

The on/off switch is the only thing that actually makes any sense.

Felony convictions:

Fast food is hilariously overpriced. You pay about as much for a sit down meal at a restaurant for some crappy burgers. I remember the days when they had a true dollar menu. Now they just call it a "value menu" or whatever.

Used to be able to get two double cheeseburgers for $2 at burger king. Add fries and a drink and you were sitting at about $8 after tax. That same order today will run you about $19 before taxes. I'm not even that old, this all happened within the last two decades or so - prices literally more than doubling and all the while the quality getting worse and portion size getting smaller and smaller.

It's probably better for my health that I can't stomach the idea of paying that much for greasy unhealthy food, so it's an occasional treat to let me have that nostalgic taste.
