I’m thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.
Whether she can or can’t do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it’s not entirely out of the question…

And she can kill you with her brain.

It’s the “Burning other magic rocks” party.

There’s a reason every science team down there has someone carrying a gun.
They know what lies in the deep.

Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it’s hard since good looking water seems rare.
That is some damn fine looking water
Excellent shots.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major update 5 days ago:
Damn, I already bought it!
… 13 years ago…
But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.
If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…
- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 6 days ago:
Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND “BRO”
- Comment on Need for Speed: what is the best title of the series? 1 week ago:
The OG most wanted is hands down my favorite of all time.
I dropped $40 just to play on my Xbox around 10 years ago.
I’d buy it again if I didn’t already have it installed.

The Maquis have a lot of good points.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.” - Jean-Luc Picard
You make valid points. I know I’ve heard enough people who start off with “the nazis sure were bad, BUT…” and proceed to fangirl over every technological achievement made by Germany, even those that came after the allies.
There’s certainly a line where it goes from “fantasy parody of real life” to “someone wrote a fan fiction about the fourth Reich and clearly has a crush on Hitler whether they want to admit it or not”
Literally the only way they would have conquered the world is through the wonders of “Sci Fi Magic Bullshit” ™️
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
Indeed, they made plenty of mistakes, otherwise they would have won the war.
But it’s less about whether they could have sustained their empire afterward and more people trying to say that portraying them as such is “glorifying” them or propping them up in some sort of idealistic way.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
Murder is a crime. And it’s bad. (crime doesn’t necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)
Nazis don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
I’ve heard plenty of people try to say WOLFENSTEIN glorifies nazis
I’ve had one idiot tell me ANY media that paints them as competent or successful is glorifying them. And setting anything in a world where they succeeded and progressed technologically instead of collapsing is basically saying Hitler’s world view is valid.
I still don’t know how to respond to that beyond “if you think the nazis were incompetent you don’t know history, and if you think showing a future where fascism took hold is unrealistic I have some bad news for you”
It’s fantasy, and specifically a fantasy in which you get to go on a massive killing spree against some of the worst people in history, how you can somehow pull “this game is making these guys look good” from that, I’m not sure.
- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
Murder?
I think not. Murder is a crime. And it’s bad. (crime doesn’t necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)
Nazis don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.
You can’t murder a nazi. You can certainly kill them though.
It’s an important distinction, in my opinion.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 3 weeks ago:
Providing nothing that isn’t covered by other areas of the business, while profiting off the misery of others?
Guillotine.

Goddamn cardies…
- Comment on Day 95 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 4 weeks ago:
There are parts of video games that always feel too clean. That sign is one of them.
It would take years for a team to custom weather every model in the game and the file size would probably end up being huge.
I still haven’t tlfinished this game, I can’t even remember what made me stop playing. But after playing Control again, I want to replay AW.
- Comment on No excuse 4 weeks ago:
The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.
When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.
- Comment on Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42 4 weeks ago:
Star Citizen
“drying funds”
Have we checked to make sure they don’t have a banana stand nearby? Specifically looked at the walls?
- Comment on New "Lower Decks" poster 5 weeks ago:
I can almost hear the record scratch as he says “But we don’t do that…”
- Comment on New "Lower Decks" poster 5 weeks ago:
The opening scene of episode 1 hooked me.
And every reference for the next twenty minutes made sure I stayed.
- Comment on China military encircles Taiwan in 'warning' drills 5 weeks ago:
Well I’m willing to bet the nearest US carrier group is getting (probably metaphorical) steak and lobster for dinner. The brass tends to bring out the good food when they announce a change of course towards potential danger.
The question is, will Chinese forces leave as soon as the group changes course, or will they stare grumpily at them in person before leaving.

Lol imagine being beholden to constant internet or having to pay for your music…
- Comment on Jazz hands 1 month ago:
This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.
Of course, so does “bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones” and “including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow”
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 1 month ago:
I think of a chef as a “preparer of food” not necessarily “food cooker”
So sushi chef is still accurate to their opinion, disclaimer I agree with them so I could always be rationalizing it.

Me, having very little knowledge about keeping vegetation alive: “oooh, that’s a nice plant.”
- Comment on Launches 2 months ago:
I actually sent a rescue mission to save one of my kerbals and the science they had on board, and ended up needing to launch a mission to save the rescue mission…
Had to break it up into three launches, two to build the larger ship in orbit and one to fuel it up.
I learned a lot about orbital mechanics that day…

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits…
