Hades and Isaac are surprising. They’re both old enough that I would have thought they wouldn’t be flush with players right now. The fallout stuff makes sense, given its fanbase and the show’s influence. I wonder if I should go back and try to 100% either of them now…

Bird dogs don’t kill the game birds. They retrieve them. It’s why there are entire breeds called retrievers. Some other bird dogs flush the birds so you can shoot them in the air, preserving your so called “sportsmanlike” ways.

Inukami!

It’s constantly lewd, silly, and is simultaneously an example of a harem anime and making fun of perverts. The series has moments that will make you cry from laughing so hard, and times when you get a little emotional, and then you’ll go “fuck yeah” as something cool happens. It sort of has the premise of ‘taming’ spirits and using them to battle bad spirits, but most of the time they end up fighting the over-aggressive nerd who gets a nosebleed around a girl.

You didn’t want to mate with that mantis anyway, trust me, bro. I’ve got your back.

I believe it. There once was a time, that may or may not be a memory, where the bartender would serve you if you could walk up to the bar and order. You also needed money, but a bit of bartering with scrounged flotsam from the quay could cover costs.

Damn you and your mouth-watering memory inducers!

Some classics are good enough to read. The problem is in forcing kids to try to do in-depth analysis. Even Charles Dickens or Charlotte Bronte isn’t all that bad to read, until you are squinting at every third word and wondering if this could mean something in the context of the whole book and just maybe you can write about it well enough in your stupid journal that you really want a B in so your parents don’t whip you with the belt again.

I mean, true heat death would also imply that even your body is spent. No neurons will be able to fire. No brain activity. You won’t be any different than dead.

I tried a while ago to get SC2 working, but didn’t have luck. Are there any tricks to it these days?

All the others are just posing. Goofy is for life.

Yeah, that’s the part that always gets downplayed in these ‘homeowner revenge’ stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.

Skating’s rad. Longboarding is sweet. Rollerblading is tiiiiight, yo.

Just get the protectors and you’ll be fine. Elbows, knees, helmet, wrist guard, and (depending on your age, if you’re older than 12 you’ll want) ankle reinforcement. If you really want to go all out, hip, back, and tailbone pads are cheap and still not constricting. Are you going to look goofy? Sure. Is everybody else just as goofy? They’re wearing clothes, aren’t they? Of course they’re goofy. Just make sure the helmet covers the parts of the head that are going to get hit, not just the top.

It sort of looks like the little guy is wearing a turtleneck over his mouth.

…wait, turtleneck? Oh god, look again, now it’s wearing the shell of a koopa that’s been cut in half!

I love the little aside about the rust. Some journalists still have fun.

Replace the background with the Sierra logo and you’d complete the 80s-90s kid nostalgia.

It’s okay, we’re in this together. Though, my rig runs just about everything at medium graphics without issue. Elden ring ran on high settings without dropping my frames to a noticeable level.

I once found a donkey. It was as desperate for attention as I was to not be working at the moment. Things worked out.

I think my visit seeking prophylactics when I was exposed to HIV (and the doctor just said, “nah, don’t worry about it, I’m not prescribing you”) was $1500 for the doctor, $1500 to the hospital… God damn that was a shock.

Remove the historic paintings during renovation, at least. Surely it would be possible to rig up some sort of sprinkler system as well. Firefighter access to the roof may be difficult once the fire is blazing, but maybe some mitigation systems could be installed before the blowtorches and welders come out.

If you liked the studio ghibli ones, try Wolf’s Rain. It’s a cool story. The creator then took his ideas that he didn’t get to play with (subterfuge and deeply flawed characters) and created Darker than Black, a really awesome take on regular people getting superpowers.
