The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile unlocks and offers to let you switch to ‘Pretty Princess’ difficulty if you die too many times in a row.
- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 5 days ago:
My favorite will always be the ‘Spent 15 Hours at the Alien Strip Club’ achievement in High On Life.
:::spoiler Dialog “How are you doing? Need some motivation to keep going? How about an award? Here, take this one that says you spent all your in-game playtime in an alien strip club. Oh, that’s permanent, by the way. Everyone on your friends list can see that forever.” :::

That was all for “personal use”.

In a just world? Inmate.
- Comment on You guys ready for NO Nut November? 1 week ago:
Pretty sure people with partners are not the target participants for this trend.
- Comment on Microsoft's cloud admin portals appear to be down worldwide 1 week ago:
It’s only really noteworthy because it affects everyone at the same time. If everyone had an individual outage for the same duration at a random time, it wouldn’t even be noticeable in most cases.

It’s better to get pissed off than pissed on. Uh, unless you’re that guy, apparently.
- Comment on They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever spartan I wanted... 1 week ago:
You seem to have missed the context, mate.
- Comment on CNC 1 week ago:
That movie had some surprisingly funny scenes. I didn’t expect a whole lot going in, but it did exceed those expectations.

Flashbacks to having to read Ethan Frome in highschool…

Based on these stories, it sounds like the real gameplan is to just take up increasingly extreme sports in your 50s and hope you die in an accident so you don’t live long enough to get decrepit.
- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 2 weeks ago:
I remember almost nothing else about that game, but I remember that level vividly; it kept me awake the night after I played it. It was a complete non-sequitur in the context of the rest of the game, but holy shit, did it ever accomplish what they set out to do.
- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 2 weeks ago:
Not about thief 1 or 2, but a fun piece of Thief trivia is that Thief: Deadly Shadows (the third game in the franchise, from 2004), completely unexpectedly, has a level that routinely makes “scariest levels in video games” lists, despite Thief not being a horror game.
- Comment on Automattic CEO calls Tumblr his 'biggest failure' so far 2 weeks ago:
I can’t verify the truth of it, but I heard that the catalyst to the porn ban was a meeting where they were pitching Tumblr advertisements to some company, and wanted to demonstrate how tags and engagement works, so they pulled up the #McDonalds tag live to demonstrate and they got a screen full of Ronald McDonald porn.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 2 weeks ago:
OH, are they maybe talking about all of the inflatable animal costumes worn by protesters in the US? There’ve been a lot of pictures of that recently due to the No Kings protest over the weekend.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 2 weeks ago:
Because we find it enjoyable; what more reason does anyone need to engage in an activity?

Are we looking at the same image? DO I NEED TO GET A RULER?

However, the comment was talking about arrows…

Then the distance must be almost zero, as it exhibits no drop over that range.

Nothing, it’s a new account that’s clearly created to advertise, look at the name.
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 4 weeks ago:
Her best card, in my opinion, but still janky because of the shard mechanic. It limits how many of her cards you can reasonably run in a deck which I just dislike. Great game, though!
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 4 weeks ago:
Just wish her cards weren’t so janky!
- Comment on Space battle games for casual player? 4 weeks ago:
The X series (X3 and X4 in particular) might be fun. Very sandboxy. The late-game turns into more of a management game than a ‘fly around blasting stuff’ game, but you don’t have to go that route if you don’t want to.
- Comment on US | White House says furloughed federal workers not entitled to back pay amid shutdown 4 weeks ago:
“The legislation that ends the current lapse in appropriations must include express language appropriating funds for back pay for furloughed employees, or such payments cannot be made,”
Hope you’re listening, Dems. You better not fucking cave again without getting this in addition to everything else you asked for.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 4 weeks ago:
Didn’t know that! I use an always-on VPN and I’ve never had issues with Catbox (but imgur blocks me), for what it’s worth.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 4 weeks ago:
Nope! It’s an image host, not a social media platform, which in my opinion is the best thing about it.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 4 weeks ago:
Catbox is basically what Imgur used to be before it went to absolute shit. You upload images, you can link to them. That’s it. You don’t need to create an account, but if you do, you can see everything you’ve uploaded. It’s free. Not really sure what more you can ask for in an image host.
- Comment on [serious] when was the last time Donald Trump went swimming, has he ever swam? 4 weeks ago:
He should absolutely try it anyway. Maybe after the Fed mints those coins with his face on it. Just give him a room full and let him dive in head first.
- Comment on Meta greenlights Facebook, Instagram ads based on your AI chats 5 weeks ago:
If the chats are taking place on their platform, why wouldn’t they?

Or he asked a subordinate to fuck, and she answered, “What’s in it for me?”, and he wishes he had a good answer.
