I would still take this over living in a shit hut during the Dark Ages. Or dying from a small infection because no one knows what germ theory is. Or watching 6 year old girls getting sold for marriage to old men. Or not being able to read, nor even knowing anyone who can. Or live in a world without anti-parasitic drugs.

It sure is! Don’t get mad when someone holds a mirror up to you making the same pathetic excuses Disney does for their failures.

No, that’s the shitty excuse Disney executives like to hide behind. “PEOPLE ARE JUST MAD WE FEATURED A WOMAN/BLACK PERSON/GAY COUPLE!”

No, people are mad because your writing is shit. Most people are actually A-OK with minority characters, as long as you give them a reason to like the characters. (Except China, but Disney knew that so they made sure they didn’t feature the problematic black character over there). Make them interesting, don’t make them a Mary Sue, don’t build their plot up only to yank it away at the last second and turn them into just another background character.

But no, Disney can’t do that because they are terrified of trying new things. So they made the blandest, most milquetoast, characters possible and made the plot Baby’s-First-Starwars in the first sequel, took what the fans loved about Star Wars and literally burnt it in front of them in the second sequel (while telling fans they were stupid to ever like that part of Star Wars in the first place), and then backtracked HARD into Baby’s-First-Starwars again in the third sequel when they were shocked to discover that fans didn’t like being insulted.

So many issues with the sequels, complete corporate ignorance to just chalk it up to a “toxic fandom”.

Make a ring in your mind, have it spin about one of its axis.

Make another ring inside the first, have it spin on a different axis than the first.

Make a third ring, put it inside the first two, have it spin on a different axis than the second.

That is as far as I can go, it’s hard, but I can make it look right if I concentrate, and it has to be in one particular orientation. I absolutely can not get a 4th ring into the mix, the details get fuzzy and I can’t get it to move right. How far can you go?

How about the one that happened the same day Charlie Kirk was killed?

Is that a labradoodle?

My cutoff point was when he started screaming at the old guy for blowing bubbles.

Couldn’t even make it through the 1st episode. I got about half way before I decided it wasn’t for me, just too much second-hand embarrassment.

You know what? I’m ok with that. At a certain point in an RPG, I do not really give a shit if the dialog for Generic Quest Giving NPC #41 has soul behind it or not. Is anyone out there really searching for deep, meaningful writing several hours into a game, or are they just clicking through dialog until they figure out how many buzzard asses they need to gather to complete the quest?

I’ll keep telling this story as long as it remains relevant:

A few years back, I picked up AC: Black Flag in a steam sale but never got around to playing it. Well, recently I’ve been trying to clear my backlog so I decided to install it and give it a play through, because honestly the game seems like it would be right up my alley.

Unfortunately, if you have not played the game on Steam before, there was an update at some point that makes the game unplayable. And I don’t mean it’s lagging, or there are graphical issues, I mean the game won’t fucking launch. It will ask you to log into your Ubisoft account, and then once you do, nothing happens. If you launch the game again… It will ask you to log in to your Ubisoft account, and the issue repeats. Apparently this is a known issue with no fix. If you’ve previously played the game on the PC you’re using, it will remember some settings and launch. But if it’s your first time? You are SOL.

Thanks Ubisoft!

I was ready to dismiss it all as a joke, but Epstein’s brother came out and said it wasn’t about Clinton… But, pointedly, did NOT say it wasn’t about a blowjob.

So while I’m pretty sure he didn’t suck off old Bill, it’s potentially true that he did give someone a blow job.

“Now that you’ve been on these pills for 3 months, do you feel better? No? Ok, try this one instead for 3 months and see if things change.”

Motherfucker, that’s time. You are prescribing time.

Literally every wireless controller I have ever owned that used rechargable batteries could be plugged in while I was using it if it started to die. I would bet that 99% of wireless controller users have a power outlet at least somewhere near where they sit to game.

Are you saying that if I go to imgflip and spend 10 seconds putting text on an image; that I can… No, that I deserve to put my watermark on it? That my meme is so sacred, and so important, that I should make sure to plug my Instagram on it? Look at me! Look at me! I made a funny everyone! Please acknowledge me!

If someone slaps their name on something that cost them next to zero time, effort, or creativity, then it’s not credit. It’s just a fucking ad.

Sophisticated PC gamers: “Graphics aren’t that important. The surge of indie games has shown that fun gameplay is really the only important factor. If big companies really cared, they would spend more time making sure their game was enjoyable to play rather than worrying about dumb things like hair physics and background animations.”

Also sophisticated PC gamers: “OMG the new Pokemon game looks like CRAP! Why would anyone bother to play such an ugly game that looks like it came out 10 years ago?!”
