  2. @scribus Downtown London is crazy man, kids in the suburbs were getting off school, came to the city on a train, and were just wandering about buying sweets with their allowances, never would’ve dreamed of doing that when I was a kid (I mean, mostly because the Washington metro didn’t hit my hometown until I was 25, but still…

  3. @adiwan and then once the plan lands my risk of getting killed in a mass shooting also falls significantly

  6. People told me I drew the fish’s boobs too big in the twin souls, but now I’m seeing all this muscle fetish art of the same character, make up your minds people, at least I’m normal

  7. Hearing about a big, nationally syndicated comic getting pulled from newspapers nationwide because its creator is a racist, going to see what it was, and then seeing that it was Dilbert was genuinely funnier than any strip of Dilbert. Laughed out papayaing loud.

  8. @scribus I was gonna say, the other day I saw a map of SoCal’s road network and it sure does seem like urban Los Angeles is much bigger than LA County based on that alone

  9. Got a spam email from a guy named “Carlos” who emailed me from a domain in Cardiff, as luck would have it I’m gonna be in Cardiff in a couple of weeks, so instead of replying to the email I’m just gonna go kick his ass directly

  10. @scribus As somebody who’s never been west of El Paso, Southern California is all the same to me, frankly you guys are lucky people even know there’s places besides LA over there

  11. @scribus in the OC?? That’s unrealistic. I hope somebody was fired for that blunder

  12. On my new MacBook Pro, editing 4K video in Adobe Premiere is faster than it is on my 12 core desktop computer because of the magical M2 chip that most Adobe products are now optimized for. But in Adobe Animate, which is comparatively lower tech and runs 10x better than anything else on my desktop, I get insane frame drops when I try to play back my 720p source files. What gives, Adobe/Apple?

  13. @scribus tried this, it works for the night but then exasperates my insomnia so that I can’t sleep without some kind of aid for like a week, so now if I have any restless nights I just deal

  14. I quit sleeping pills, which I developed an addiction to in 2019 when my depression got really bad, a little under a year ago during my first trip to the UK. I started taking them again in August after getting transferred to my new store but I’ve been a good boy since around October and I think I’ve finally kicked them for good. We’ll see how this year goes I guess.

  15. just saved a new file named "bronyagainagain.fla"

  16. They shipped my laptop from Shanghai which is wild to me because I got a base model and there’s infinity Apple Stores in DC, surely they had one just lying around

  17. Hogwarts Legacy got off pretty lucky. As a game, it is a broken unplayable mess that is probably going to brick your Xbox, but because the series creator is an unhinged lunatic who belongs in an asylum for the terminally crazy, most people are focusing on that instead. I’m pretty sure Warner Bros could’ve shipped a tech demo with two spells and a test map for $60 and the conversation around it would still revolve around JK Rowling’s transphobic ravings instead. I feel for the devs who have to deal with the venom that she’s injected her own IP with, but on the other hand, if the game had released in this state and JK Rowling was an inoffensive media darling, they’d probably be in a lot of cherry right now. As it stands she’s taken all the heat off of them.

  18. “Witcher 3 grape Modder Claims CDPR Used Mod Without Permission” is probably the headline of the year tbh

  19. I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid! He was only probably whacked

    Monday, 13-Feb-23 20:53:53 UTC from web
  20. It’s a shame he was whacked before I had a chance to tell him how awesome crime was

  21. One of the other script treatments I have here is a spoof of gangster movies, if anybody tries to tell me the mob wouldn’t work with a Hispanic like Kat I’m gonna point them to my grandmother’s first husband who was a Puerto Rican immigrant that worked for the mob up in NYC back in the 70s and 80s.

  22. @scribus That sounds rad. One of the script treatments I’m writing as part of this series pitch is a spoof of supernatural media & part of me wonders, supposing I had to stay on the web, how difficult/expensive it’d be to get Nerf Herder to perform a cover of the Swole Foods theme song for that one. Definitely one of my production fantasies.

  23. @adiwan I’ve been told that 3 and 4 are the roughest ones for a modern player

    Monday, 13-Feb-23 17:26:07 UTC from web in context
  24. Embarrassingly, I did not know that Parry Gripp was the guitarist for Nerf Herder until just now.

  26. Just bought a new laptop for travel, taking bets on how long it takes before I get fed up with macOS

  27. i should probably call my grandparents more

    Sunday, 12-Feb-23 01:07:52 UTC from web
  28. my grandfather is irish but we're not on speaking terms so i'm trying to figure out how i can go about catfishing him to get his birth certificate so that i can prove to the irish authorities that i am in fact supposed to be there and that i'm not crazy like my other grandfather who's an elected republican politician in texas who i'm also not on speaking terms with

  29. I personally do not believe purchasing the new Harry Potter game makes people transphobic or that it actually makes much of a difference to this extraordinarily wealthy dirtbag or whatever - no ethical consumption and all that - but instead of debating the negative impact of such a purchase, I wanted to instead focus on making a positive impact. To this end I’ve donated $70 - the price of the deluxe edition of Hogwarts Legacy - to Trans Lifeline. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876309

  30. Four hour company meeting. Sitting in a row: My former boss who trained me for this position, me, my former assistant who I trained for this position. Two seats down: the racist who tried to have two of us fired, who herself had since been demoted for confronting customers in the parking lot. What a happy reunion
