@adiwan Wait, I know that name... He makes the comic of the nihilistic dragon of which the name I always forget.

@adiwan Don't be silly, those are all Russian bots.
Yeah, I know that is sillytalk. Still, I only count the people of whom I know at least their face and had some form of interaction with outside of a keyboard and monitor.
After all, I am not really interested in a braindead conversation similar to going to the Destiny 2 Reddit and ask if the game is good. Ofcourse they say the game is good, or they would not be lurking that subreddit.
Same thing can be said for TMS, If a woman has a leading position and you dare say anything negative about that show you are going to find yourself on the blindfolded side of an execution platform.
Not to say that I disagree with everything on TMS. Once I read http://rainbowdash.net/url/875303 *facepalm emoji* How long has this weird conversation been going on for now ? "Not enough woman in powerfull rolemodels" ?
I could probably rant about this for 12 hours straight if you let me. Maybe because they always shoot down my rolemodels -
@adiwan I would be willing to pay for a LOT of conveniences. But things like "Oh yeah, you are not going to get that specific thing you wanted" ( like with the whole F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Netflix thing, since they were on, and then off, and then on again, and made a couple shows unavailible since they were bad in current era ) or "we are going to split the market in order to give more choice to you, the consumer. Oh do not worry about paying more, that is the price of progress baby" / "We are going to break the monopoly by screaming at it really hard with 'our' monopoly" ( Such as with Steam vs Epic or Netflix vs HBO-Go vs Peacock vs Amazon Prime vs HBO Now vs CBS All Access vs YourMomTV )
Oh hey guess what, I found my old Jolly Roger Tricorne with matching outfit.
I look, fancy :D -
@adiwan It won't even have the Mickey Mouse Breakfast Club ! I call hax !
Eyepatches are fancier than streaming services, Arrr. -
@adiwan Well now I am just reminded of that time this happened http://rainbowdash.net/url/875298 , haha :D
( The backstory to this is even more hilarious )
-
@adiwan This is true, but I reckon that people here know the difference.
Also, Europe is never really called out for its communism if that is true, that is somewhat funny to me. -
@adiwan It's ohkay, I forgive you. You probably did not kno....
Wait, spread-cheese ? Never trust a cheese that can be convinced to do your bidding with a breadknife. -
@adiwan That never happens. Your tastebuds are probably faulty.
-
@adiwan I've seen it more recently than the original run, but not really in the last couple years. I believe it's still well above average. Got its share of Very Special Monologues that will never land well to an adult, but even they've aged better than most, IMO.
-
@adiwan That's a weird way to spell "Disney's Gargoyles." :p (j/k even I admit the IP is dead right now...)
-
@adiwan I heard Clownfish TV do nothing but rip on that show while using them as a podcast substitution while at work. So I guess you are the first person I know who actually likes New She-Ra.
I'm still not sure if I should pick it up seen my HUMONGOUS backlog of things I have yet to watch. -
@adiwan Its not lying and committing fraud if you genuinely thought it was the thing you provide the reciept for.
-
@adiwan Orrrr, you could just lie your way into seeing the contents and then getting the right reciept... Or not if you do not think the content is worth it.
But I know you are not comfortable with that.
( Oh, another possibility is that the sender got the adress wrong and you actually do not have a reciept ) -
@adiwan Man post offices in Germany are weird.
What are they going to do, send it back to China ? Just wait it out :) -
@adiwan Fans are gonna fan, untill something happens that makes them not want to be a fan anymore.
I remember reading about some guy who had made a MCU-Wall, containing the DVD cover for every Marvel Superhero movie ever released, complaining about how he did not really like one particular movie but was still deadset on getting the thing for his wall since else his collection would be incomplete ( this was years ago )
Extreme fans gonna extreme fan I guess.
Hell, kinda reminds me of this 2 hour long thing of some guy who was harassing a movie critic on Discord for a debate for his opinion on a movie was SO WRONG he simply had to correct the narrative, or at least attempt to, it was a total fail and is probably one of the best examples of how to learn from other people's mistakes ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/875292 ) Its quite humorous at times, but I am not sure if I can recommend it unless if you got 2 hours to waste.
( Such as when on CCTV monitor duty at work at night)
-
@adiwan Can't you just show up with a random reciept from whoever send it ? I mean it is's not like they are actually going to check if there is actually prismatic doomsday ray refactor plating in there.
-
@adiwan I can explain. Somewhat.
1. People own all these games because just the roster updates to them are worth buying the game all over again. This has been a hot-button topic in the hardcore-gameosphere ever since ( and no doubt before ) CoD became an annual franchise. FIFA just started to really stand out because unlike CoD it did not had different guns, an engine, or even more polygons ( with only 2~3 exceptions that I know of ) and you simply can not have the old game play online because everyone migrated to the newer game. And couch-co-op back in the day, well you would not want to be the cheapass amongst friends would you ? Think of the shame.
The reason that they are now on flea-markets everywhere is because FIFA has joined the league-of-anti-hong-kong ( in an attempt to remain buddy buddy with China and keep access to the market no doubt )
Surely you heard of the Blitzchung Blizzard thing ? Well, it is like that, only soccer-juicy. Kinda. -
@adiwan Ehmm, no ? I have a list of terribly bad good movies ( Machette, Iron Sky, Kung Fury, Hobo With a Shotgun, Sharknado, Surf Nazi's Must Die, Hercules in New York, Poultrygeist : Night of the Chicken Dead, Batman ( Clooney ) & Robin, Face/Off ) that are filled with "haha, oh my, I can not believe they did that, haha"
I can only guess that is what you mean with 'not very excelling but like them nontheless"
I also have a list of Terrible Terrible movies ( Troll 2, Birdemic, Laserblast, Cool Cat saves the kids, the frEd movies, The Last Airbender ( M Knight ) foodfight ) that make me point at the screen and make horror faces like that one scene from Body Snatchers, you know the one.
I mean, unless if I tone down 'like' to 'could watch it again instead of playing video games'. Then you get movies like Beverly Hills Cop, Police Academy, Showdown in Little Tokyo, Naked Gun, Die Hard ( Best Xmas movie ), Fifth Element, Starship Troopers, Liar Liar, and Wreck it Ralph -
@adiwan Solo was mediocre at best, but lets agree to disagree. You are right regarding being too close to TLJ though. But then again we are pretty much talking about the mother of all cataclysmic events that drove the fandom in twain.
If the people were not so split on TLJ like they were, then things like 'fandom fattigue' never got invented and we probably would not have much negative stuff to say about Solo.
Well, other than the directors of Solo being fired at 90% completion of the movie over 'creative differences' and the thing going out of budget by several dozen millions. The 'news' that comes out later to patch up that hole seems awfully convenient to say the least where actors speak out against the fired directors.
But hey, those are in the same category of people that said that Alden Ehrenreich needed on site coaching how to be more like Han Solo. I call out Nepotism. I reckon you would not have had this problem if you hired Ross Marquand ( I am kidding, a bit ) -
@adiwan At least that story had a good enough ending, even if it took a week for Amazon to step in and pimpslap someone who deserved a pimpslap.
-
@adiwan We all have a friend that recieved something double, for some reason all of the times I heard my friends 'brag' about it it was about rather powerful video cards.
Probably going back at least 10 years or so.
Maybe it is your lucky day. Ehmm, actually, I do not even halfway think that a PCB could cost that much unless if the name of the device is rather unknown, obscure, or less than legal.
You are not building a death ray again are you ? -
@adiwan I feel like I should wish you the best of luck getting to your vacation safely. But I also do not want that to sound patronising. Not sure how to do that really. So I'm just saying it like this I guess.
-
@adiwan Just remind him that you can program robotic arms and can actually remove that bug that crawled up his orifice and died.
Mostly smacktalk ofc, but I reckon you can get a giggle out of it. -
@adiwan I hope your colleague was flabbergasted at least.
-
@adiwan How terrible is it that I can see the compression blocks of a 720P source on a 1440P screen ?
Now that might sound impressive, but it's really not, If you translate it back to megapixels you can even make a ballpark figure of howmuch it takes for your brain to register the raster.
Meaning 720P (0.92 MP) on a 1440P ( 3.68 MP ) screen, that is 4 repeats for every pixel. 360P ( 0.17 MP ) on a 4K display ( 8.26 MP ) that's gonna be just under 50. I could probably count that without a pause button.
At least I think I am applying the math correctly here. -
@adiwan **patpat** the universe is sorry, bananaty things like this happen. It is probably just a dumb elecromotor that decided to burn out or something.
If that is true though, I would be angry that it happened at all. If it is a cheap electromotor then that would be dandy but annoying, but if it was an IO error somewhere that would drive me NUTS because that means it could happen again on that specific kit. -
@adiwan Yeah, I'm kind of glad they did that, now I get to be twitchy until the rest drops, haha.
-
@adiwan Yeah, it was definitely worth sleeping for. And I tried, I really tried not to do it all in one day; I did manage not to do it all in one sitting, at least.
