  1. @scribus They didn’t pay us for Juneteenth either despite Congress having made it a federal holiday and The President having signed the bill the week before. Said it was “too late” to change payroll, which is BS.

  2. @scribus I made a video about this last year, but the basic gist of it was that John K. was fired so early into the show’s initial run that it kind of wasn’t even his show anymore by the time the original series ended, so I personally don’t think R&S should necessarily carry his baggage, especially since we don’t really apply that same standard to more recent works with creators who were disgraced for similar reasons (The Loud House got a movie this year, even). https://youtu.be/1bVrf7n_Yek

  3. @scribus Yeah... My old (and stolen) car had steel rims. They had quite the rusty spots but they were covered by a plastic cap that gave the illusion they were nicer.

  4. @scribus in some cases, like Ren & Stimpy, it’s understandable, as Billy West won’t go near any R&S projects anymore and John K. obviously can’t and shouldn’t be asked to come back, but there are multiple shows in there that are either currently airing or have voice talent that have reprised their roles recently for other one-off projects, those characters are also silent. Apparently it was a budgetary issue, but it begs the question of why you’d set out to make this game if you don’t have the funds to pull it off. It feels like an early access game, which is insane considering the license it’s using.

  5. @scribus All-season car tyres with aluminium rims what I have ordered. I didn't want to cheap out on something that will last a while and is essential for safety. Also a little bit for the looks doesn't hurt in the whole scheme of things. Steel rims are half as expensive but are also adding unnecessary weight and look like ass.

  6. @scribus 2019 was his last professional win, he played an exhibition match in 2020 that he won

  7. @scribus I’m actually mildly incorrect, I saw something about a tournament he played in 2020 and for some reason thought that was this year. Still way too recent for a guy whose career was over twelve years ago.

  8. @scribus Thanks. I was really lucky mixing the base color to get the gray with the blue-ish tint I was aiming for. Because of the size I bought a cheap acrylic paint set and mixed white and black in a 1:1 ratio and then added about 1/3 of that amount with navy blue, and added a bunch of drops of silver metallic paint. Depending on the time of day it looks more blue or gray. On the other hand I had troubles getting rid of the layer lines using filler primer, sandpaper and files, especially the sides towards the center.

  9. @scribus I’m gonna say the second one because I’ve said mean things about capitalists on Twitter and so participating in capitalism is liable to get me in a great deal of trouble.

  10. @scribus Woah. That's heavy.

  12. @scribus Scratch that, turns out I am completely 100% wrong, the series is NOT on Disney+, JUST the movies.

  13. @scribus Whole thing, plus the two video movies, is on Disney+. Got done watching King of Thieves just last night.

  14. @scribus I watched only the animated version. I was intrigued by the first season. The second one was not as good story-wise.

  16. @scribus Purchasing it used might be an option. On ebay in Germany the prices are between 30€ and 40€. I guess it won't be cheaper anytime soon. Pokemon Snap for the N64 is cheaper as a cart only offer but complete in box it's still at original retail prices.

  17. @zeldatra @scribus The number of cases are rising here as well and I don't want to risk any contact with strangers that's not necessary, especially when sitting in an enclosed room for hours. I'm vaccinated but still. This time I'll probably go to the sea that is called Internet and become a filthy pirate. I already gave more money than necessary for watching Black Widow at home.

  18. @scribus I liked it a lot! Ryan Reynolds kind of carries the film and I think without him it isn’t nearly as funny though. He like, makes the movie.

  19. @scribus @adiwan I ended up getting over my newfound cinema anxiety to watch Free Guy with my mother last week, but of course I also live in a place that’s had like one covid hospitalization in the last four month so as a vaccinated person I felt less “at-risk” so to speak

  20. @scribus Looks like some sort of stage fright or your body is doing you a favor so you can be dismissed from doing jury duty.

  22. @scribus I still haven’t done it. The main story never motivated me. All the cool cherry is out in the wilderness. The most I did was defeat the divine beasts and find all the memories.

  23. @scribus I as browsing on some dutch bike sites and I haven't seen any difference in price between ball busters and skirt savers.

  24. @scribus Three stamina wheels and thirty hearts, but not at the same time.

  25. @scribus I had a somewhat similar experience playing BOTW. But to be fair: I had a vacation and could spend all week playing it. I tried to complete as much as it was feasible to get the good ending and solve as many shrines as I could for the much needed health and stamina upgrades.

  27. @scribus I mean last week I managed, using only apt-get upgrade, to uninstall grub from the server, so this is way more "on" than it was

  28. @scribus thought about doing a dual-boot but they don’t make macOS graphics drivers for my hardware, and Adobe Animate won’t run natively on Linux, so it would be more trouble than it’s worth.

  29. @scribus the same guy’s been recording our phone messages at the store for years and he does the entire district, and they don’t re-record unless they absolutely have to, so up until the covid pandemic (they had to re-record at that point and a couple of times after as new information came out) one store would have an answer menu with a voice that’s audibly years younger than another.

  30. @scribus here’s hoping, I’m gonna be pretty miffed if my sick coworker who refused to put on a mask did in fact give me covid.
