This reminds me for some reason about the time I found a half-full can of vintage rat poison at an antique store. It was basically entirely arsenic.

You could tell me that was somebody from the 1980’s WWF and I’d totally believe you. Like, a cross between Captain Lou and Tugboat.

Haven’t seen her show, but as somebody technically in the UMC with a lot of shit to get rid of, I can understand them wanting to appeal to that market.

Exactly. I dont mind a little extra buffering. I mostly watch things in 720 oe 1080, and I’ve barely noticed the change.

That will be awesome for when my body dies, but I still want to be a brain in a jar playing MechWarrior.

I lock the door even when I’m home alone. I dont want any dogs, or toddlers, or even my wife in there. I’ll go down to the basement, even. To the Shit Dungeon, my sanctuary.

I might have to revisit it with that in mind!

This makes me think of this clip of Mr. Girl where he sits his girlfriend down and tells her that her orgasm isn’t his responsibility, and goes on to express that he just cares about himself getting off, and pretty sure he said it would be better if she just laid there and didn’t make any noise.
This guy operates on a level of sarcasm that is so constant and extreme, I can’t tell what he’s serious about and what is some type of social commentary. A lot of things he says are so creepy and offensive, it’s just safer to avoid him altogether.

Looks a lot like my wardrobe, even the Chucks. Can’t quite find a cut like that anymore, but I love that wash. And, honestly, I like it when they get tattered by the heel.

No! Never! What the hell causes that? Is it a dry skin thing? Looks painful and disturbing.

My wife INSISTS we have a printer, in case she ever wants to print anything. She never does. It has a scanner. Admittedly, a very nice one. I use the scanner every year at tax time. I suggested we get another smaller, lighter scanner. She says we don’t need two scanners. So, for the last 5 years, I have had to lug this 25.7lb behemoth out of the basement to scan like, 6 things, and take it back downstairs. That is all we use it for.

- Comment on Forever Skies 1.0 out now 2 months ago:
Yeah, you’re right it is pretty linear. Astroneer is fantastic regarding freedom, I totally agree. And I love that it doesn’t have the food and water requirements, just air. That really lets you focus more on the exploration. Haven’t played the other two you mentioned. I’d definitely say Forever Skies is a casual game. If I weren’t playing that at night, I’d probably be playing Boggle Plus or Dr. Mario on the GameBoy. If I had the time (not at 11pm) to really get into a game where I cared about story or interesting mechanics, I would be playing something better. I could finally finish F.E.A.R., after 20 years. Or start MechWarrior 5.
- Comment on Can't understand why they fired me 2 months ago:
I’ll be honest and admit that I’ve done that once or twice. It was a Friday, and I went to lunch with a coworker at a pub nearby. He got a lunch beer, so I decided to get a lunch beer. Saw they had Dragonmead Final Absolution on tap, which is one of my favorite beers of all time. Usually, you get it in like, 10oz glasses, its 10% ABV. But the waitress asked if I wanted a short or a tall! I don’t think she was familiar with it. I couldn’t pass up an opportunity like that, so I got a tall. Nursed it throughout lunch. After we paid the bill, I pounded the rest of the 20oz glass. Got back to work, and started feeling it as soon as I put the car in park. It was all I could do not to take a George Costanza style desk nap. Nothing productive was done the rest of the afternoon.
I had a coworker at a different job come to a 1pm meeting and sit next to me, completely reeking of booze. He tried to contribute something, and when he got up to point at something he just stumbled and fell right into the projector screen then onto the floor. My boss asked me later if I noticed anything off about him in there, and I just said it looked like he lost his balance pretty bad, hope he’s OK. Pretty sure he was going through some personal issues at the time, because I never saw him do anything like that again.

I love it. I only have 32 hours into it so far, but I keep coming back to it more and more. Really, just because it’s so chill. The survival aspect of it is so easy. Catch some fat dust moths, cook, and freeze. Tanks of water ready to be purified at any time. So really, it’s just a chill game where you float around and collect stuff to build a better ship. I play it for acouple hours late at night after my wife and kid are asleep to unwind. It’s not a game that takes a lot of skill or concentration, it’s just relaxing. And when I’m in my glass walled bedroom, ship swaying back and forth in a storm, I’d say it’s downright cozy. Float around, find blueprints for a new chair or lamp, call it a night.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 months ago:
$602.41 for 50 games in 18.4 years. Cost at today’s prices: $698. I’d say that’s a win.
2,095 hours. 72% of games played. Guess I need to get to work.
I wish I could track my pre-steam numbers. Id be interested to see how much time I put into Mechwarrior 3, or Rollercoaster Tycoon, or Unreal Tournament.

Just wash it down with some orange Fanta.

A buddy of mine. Just refuses to. Never elaborated, I didn’t ask. Probably part of why his marriage didn’t last.
By that logic, my deep love for the act should ensure mine will last forever.

- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 2 months ago:
Thanks, I think it’s one of my best looking pens. The VP isn’t a VP, it’s a MoonMan A1. I’m not sure if it’s made by Majohn or not, but it is super similar to their A1 and A2 if it’s not. Writes well, good seal. For under $30. Highly recommend.
- Comment on New Portal pinball table may be the closest we’re gonna get to Portal 3 2 months ago:
That looks awesome. It would look a little out of place next to my other pinball machines, as they’re vintage. But I’d still love it. I don’t want to have to sell two watches to afford it, though. That’s pretty expensive.

I love 0.3. I would love a Rotring one if they made it. My only one is an Alvin Draftmatic.

I’d say the sum of their organs and borrowing power of their credit score.
