I can see the screw, pulley, and wedge (the tip). In a pinch, the whole thing can act as a lever. But I can’t see any wheel and axle (no, the pulley isn’t one), and there’s definitely no inclined plane. Randall got ripped off.

SATW is a classic, and excellent. https://satwcomic.com/

I get that feeling from 90% of this artist’s comics, but this one actually made me chuckle. More importantly, I shared it with my mom and it made her chuckle. She is not as accepting of LGBT+ as one might hope, so this was not a given.

It has all the elements of a joke, most importantly subversion of expectations. I’ll give this one a pass. Save your rant for the next comic ;)

A true pean would call them toilets.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think it’s a coffee machine with the coffee blasphemously being poured into a bowl instead of a mug.

Thank you! That text description is more than enough for me. Expertly told.

Try Caleb’s approach for this sort of thing. “Are you a cannibal man?” “Well, that’s not how I would define myself. If we’re going by what I’m most passionate about, I would say that I’m a woodworker.”

Yeah, I can’t see anything else either.

What is the TV’s shadow? It seems like a pair of legs standing on a box and a small floating rectangle.

The book, meanwhile, looks like a convoluted mess. Crashing spaceship, T-Rex/Godzilla, and what might be Dracula’s castle. If there’s a coherent story in this, I have got to read it. Book title? :P

Not me: I don’t understand what is being said here, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. What is this comic trying to say? I really can’t figure out a cohesive statement.

Ooh, I love Mitchell and Webb! Though their newer sketch show, true to its name, is not helping. For some reason they decided to sprinkle in very few hits with a lot of misses.

I am guessing that it’s different because they spend weeks and months on the ship. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be too keen to enlist in the navy if it required not having my personal phone for months on end. They gotta make some concessions in policy to keep everyone sane.

Or maybe they’re banned but people sneak them in anyway.

Edit: then again, if they just snuck them in, they wouldn’t have any connection. They need wifi. So it’s probably allowed.

Beat me to it! It’s not my favorite sketch of theirs, but any excuse to share a Chris and Jack video is good :)

To the uninitiated: Jack was the voice of Sokka in AtLA. Chris was a Blue Man.

Not fucking safe for work.

In general, old fables need more psyops.

It’s an interesting thought, but no amount of software is going to conjure up new physical buttons. You pretty much always need to use the ABXY buttons at the same time as the D-pad, so this remapping trick wouldn’t be possible.

Interesting. I played Hollow Knight on Switch and joycons were my favorite option for this exact reason. The few times I tried with a Switch pro controller … did not go well. It’s too squishy, and I absolutely do blame the controller there! Presumably 8BitDo is much better and clickier.

Silksong I actually played on PC, with a keyboard. It was great for me, the biggest downside personally is the lack of rumble - I love haptic feedback. The game definitely plays better with a controller but the button layout on keyboard was totally playable.

That’s a good idea actually!

I don’t know what you mean, Hollow Knight is unplayable with accidental diagonals. Try attacking in mid-air while moving left, but then oops! Instead of an attack to your left, you do a pogo or an upwards attack. You miss your target, and you die.
