I only discovered this song a few months ago, but I’m looking for that one person who unironically listened to Man Meat back in the day. I want to know who you are. I need to meet the kinda person who listened to nerdcore back in the day. MandaloreGaming said it best, “It’s like something Meatwad would listen to on Aqua Teen, and they’d try to get him to stop.”

When somebody reads “No, I’m not interested” as “tell me more,” I become less likely to be as polite about matters. No means No, and if you keep pushing I’m gonna be as blunt as I need to be.

Last time a recruiter harassed me via text he tried to convince me of all the kickass benefits and fun of being in the military. Straight up just told him “Dude, if you put a gun in my hand, you’re going to be responsible for a suicide. Not happening.” For some reason he never replied.

I’ve only played the original trilogy, but they’re fantastic. It’s undeniably a visual novel, but with no sex and, shockingly, actual gameplay. Plus fun characters, great court cases, and a fantastic soundtrack. Truly the best games to make you feel like anime Columbo.

I still hold that this is one of the pinnacle videos of his. Outstanding in the pacing, writing, jokes, production.

Furry is just the kinda general term for the whole fandom. If you wanna refer to a furry or a scalie character without worrying about calling a scaly fella furry, anthro works plenty fine.

Not quite OnlyFans, but when you have specific interests, you gotta find specific folks with skills tailored towards those interests.

- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Launch Is a Disaster - IGN 2 months ago:
From what I read on Steam: Three servers, 64 players max each. Embarrassingly miniscule for one of the best selling, best received Star Wars games of its time, if not of all time. You’d expect more than 192 people would buy your game on launch, especially something this big.

Gonna try grabbing a buddy and marathoning through the series. I’ve gushed in another comment, but the series meant a lot to me at a younger age during happier times. Maybe now’s as good a time as any to get some closure and finish watching it all.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 2 months ago:
Yeah I can’t deny that seasons 6 and 7 were a drag, especially 6. Not as much comedy and it’s overall dryer, but I did appreciate the effort put into them trying to do some actual story telling and world building. One COULD argue the necessity of a goofy internet comedy show having world building, but for me I liked the story enough that I was able to push through the dryness.
Season 8 held much of that focus on story, but made up for it with CGI action scenes that, at least when I last saw them at a younger age, were rad as fuck. They prolly haven’t aged heaps well, but hey, coming from an internet comedy show about a buncha moronic dorks in Halo, it was unexpected and WELL appreciated. Can’t remember how the comedy held up given that it’s been at least a decade since I last saw it, unfortunately.
Seasons 9 and 10 were genuinely pretty well written and enjoyable, in my memory! Lots more of those CGI action scenes, cut in between story bits with the Freelancer project and goofy happenings with the main cast. Season 10 especially had an impact on me at the time, and to this day I still refuse to tell my loved ones goodbye. It’s too final, too certain.
Never saw anything past that. Season 10’s ending was open ended for the Blood Gulch crew, but all the big story beats they’d worked towards over the years had been given the closure they needed. Just felt odd to me that they took that closure and just, kept going. Maybe I’ll finally check the later seasons out.
Whether or not you’d enjoy it I can’t say, I don’t know your preferences and it’s been SO long since I’d last touched the series. I think I’m gonna go marathon the series with a buddy of mine, go on one final trip to Blood Gulch and give a large part of my childhood that kinda closure.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 2 months ago:
Were the seasons past 10 any worth watching? I’d heard some mixed views on the latter seasons, and season 10 ends SO strongly with such a good sense of closure to it, it was genuinely confusing to me when I heard they dropped an 11th season.
- Comment on Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery 2 months ago:
I haven’t actively followed their stuff much at all, especially in the last many years, but this one hurts me. Red VS Blue was such a big part of my childhood into my teenage years, with the first ten seasons having gotten more rewatches by me than any other show out there.
Starting to feel those Blood Gulch Blues. Might marathon the whole series, myself.

Doom’s engine was made open source in 99, which was instrumental for opening up modern source ports and the current modding scene which I’d argue is one of the strongest.

- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 2 months ago:
What difference is there to you, then, between “employer pays a reasonable living wage to their employees but raises the prices of the food a bit to accommodate” and “employer pays poverty wages, forcing the customers to pay their employees for them and forcing tax payers to pay up when people earning poverty wages inevitably rely on government programs to simply survive?” If tipping is mandatory, the only people that benefit is the employer since they can simply double dip - spend less money on payroll AND force the customer to make up for your lack of willingness to pay competitive wages. Yes, under current law, employers are supposed to make the difference if tips can’t cover at least minimum wage, but that’s not enforced nearly as much as it should be, which puts the onus on the workers being exploited in the first place, and even then minimum wage in this country is embarrassingly unfit for supporting anybody.
The more important question to ask is “why am I expected to pay an employee when the money I already give to a business should cover wages in the first place?”
I’m a tipped employee for my day job. I make a decent base pay, but the tips make up for that in spades during busy seasons. I’ve bought my current car with tip money. Despite this, I fully support getting rid of tips if it meant my livelihood wouldn’t be a gamble depending on factors outside my control, and especially if it meant fewer people had to rely on government assistance and could better provide a livelihood for themselves.
