Flash games.
I recommend Bluemaxima’s Flashpoint if you want a hassle free way of doing it.
- Comment on Eurovision vows to remove Palestinian flags or symbols 1 week ago:
They removed Russia not because of the war, but because many other countries complained due to its presence, and as a result, Russia put the contest into disrepute, forcing it out the contest.
They removed Belarus a year earlier because they couldn’t submit a song that wasn’t too political. They were originally suspended for 3 years, but it was extended because… idk they could just do this all over again.
And then after the… thing that is happening between Palestine and Israel, a thing that involves genocide, the EBU not only refuses to kick out Israel despite other countries and even contestants complaining about its presence (Iceland especially), causing disrepute, but Israel also did send a too political entry and refused to modify it, meaning they were likely to be kicked out… until Isaac Herzog got involved, and basically forced Israel to stay. And now Eurovision fans including myself are complaining about it, and the EBU simply doesn’t give a shit.
I will still watch Eurovision this year, but I will not under any circumstance support the absolute cheapness that is the Israeli entry, by basically not spending my money on voting, or merchandise, and by turning off my telly as soon as they show up (basically bumping down the audience retention graph, whatever the hell that thing is), despite the detriment on the other countries that genuinely sent some cool stuff and that I would like to vote for (Croatia, Switzerland, and Belgium sent some absolute bangers this year, while Norway continues to wow me). The same will apply to Azerbaijan, not only due to their own genocide against Armenians, but also due to their history of… basically cheating in Eurovision. My enjoyment of the contest is essentially ruined due to the actions of two participating countries that are basically just tumors.
And assuming either of these two countries stay in Eurovision next year, I will continue to speak up against their inclusion, and convince the EBU that the disrepute Israel has caused, and the fraud that Azerbaijan has committed, simply has no place in this fun contest that is about uniting people with the power of music. They’ve ruined Eurovision.
And about the flag thing, yes, I know all flags are banned outside those of the participants and pride flags, but seriously you guys? The flags of the tumors are still allowed? No, thanks. And it’s not like you guys are enforcing this rule anyway, I’ve seen a Brazilian flag, I’ve seen an Ecuadorian flag, and I think I even recall seeing a Turkish flag. Yeah, way to be unfair, y’all.
TL;DR to keep things fair, and to prevent further disrepute (I’ve used that word like 3 or 4 times in total), Israel and Azerbaijan need to be banned from the contest just as how Belarus and Russia got banned.
- Comment on 150,000 Russian soldiers killed during full-scale invasion of Ukraine, France says 1 week ago:
And it was all supposed to end in only 3 days. An entire 2 years and 2 months have passed and they still haven’t finished it.
And that’s definitely a good thing. But you know what’s even better? UNDOING IT ALL. Just leave Ukraine and actually take time to develop your own legitimate territory, how hard could that be? Oh, and leave Georgia and Moldova too.

Seems like fantasy to me

I had to make it somewhat related to fantasy (since that’s what LoL is, right?), so I put Spyro the Dragon in there somewhere

It smells like kebab cooked by Spyro’s flames
- Comment on How do recommend eating this? 1 week ago:
Turn it into a spray
Now you can flavor all your foods with finesse. It’s like a pepper spray with orange as the substitute for the pepper. Hell, spray it into your mouth for some fresh orange juice.

Buy them a cute little penguin that they must take care of.
- Comment on What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ? 1 week ago:
It’s in the name. The first letter of “bass” makes a low frequency sound, something that comes out of a kick drum, whereas the first letter of “treble” makes a high frequency sound, something that comes out of a cymbal.
The mids are just mid frequency sounds.
I may have oversimplified it too much.
- Comment on Is there a "canvas" of the universe? Do we even know? Would a canvas follow the same laws as the paint? 1 week ago:
The universe IS the canvas. Everything else that was added to it (stars, planets, supernovas, black holes, gases, etc) is the paint.
There might be a copy of this canvas, but we can’t know unless someone manages to prove that you can travel between universes. And even then, it’s likely just either our universe with very small but effective modifications, or it’s a segment of our imagination.
- Comment on House Passes Bill That Defines Criticism of Israel as “Antisemitism” 1 week ago:
Am I gonna be labeled Christophobe if I criticize Armenia then? Not that that country has anything worth criticizing, but still, it kinda feels dumb.
And yes, I chose Armenia specifically because it’s the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion.

Enjoy it.
- Comment on Does Big Ben imply the existence of a Little Ben? 1 week ago:
I was referring to the cartoon dog called Talking Ben, you know, the guy we used to make phone calls with and he always replies with “ho ho ho”
But this is also a very good description.
- Comment on Does Big Ben imply the existence of a Little Ben? 1 week ago:
No, but it does imply the existence of a Talking Ben.

- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
Oh, I use it quite a lot.
Once I spent a few days with Ubuntu, I had a very strong reliance on the terminal for simply installing stuff (because I wanna avoid that Snap Store), it takes some time to learn, but I don’t think it’s that difficult.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
That’s a win.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
I guess that kinda makes sense.
But we’ll, Ubuntu was basically the average computer user’s introduction to Linux (even if it kinda sucks now), I kinda think it could still do the job fairly well… only for those user’s to switch to a potentially better distro.

Eh, my lappy has terrible battery life regardless of what OS is running on it, and even then, I always use it plugged it anyway, exactly like Strong Bad (it’s why I used the word “Lappy”)

I’m thinking the same thing with KDE Neon. Idk, Mint just feels WAY too similar to Windows. I get some people like that, but I don’t wanna be reminded of something inferior.
Good luck with your mint.

Is it just me, or does that… thing look too cheap to me made using Blender?
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 week ago:
Hmm… I wonder why Linux has yet to rise.
I mean, we only have like 17 months until support for Windows 10 ends, it’s not like it’s that long.
