I’m someone’s favorite.
I just bought an external cd/dvd drive so I can convert my DVD library into a digital one for convenience and to preserve the dvds longer.
I’m having some issues with the speed of conversion, but my biggest problem is quickly becoming storage space.
Also, I dug up some of my old games like Caesar III and installed a no-CD “patch”.
Good times.
There’s an adapter or replacement for everything
Imagine if the x-men movies all had the same director, all from basically the same team… But the director made Hugh Jackman audition for the part of wolverine every single movie, constantly tried to replace him, constantly threatened to replace other actors, and ultimately Hugh Jackman finds out the latest chapter in Logan’s story is coming out soon, and nobody even bothered to call him about it.
Now replace Hugh Jackman with David Hayter, the director with Kojima, and the other recurring actors with other voice actors from the series.
I used to be obsessed with all things metal gear, and after tons and tons of interviews, tweets, things said in panels, and at conventions… Kojima is a fantastic creative, tells some great stories, and there isn’t a single negative thing I can think to say about that aspect of him… But on the personal side… Ehhh…
Fuck Konami, but also mildly fuck Kojima.
I will never forgive him for his shitty treatment of David Hayter and other voice actors.
Honestly, this right here is the main reason I don’t believe any real-world bending would end any way other than Earth Kingdom dominance. Peaceful dominance, hopefully.
You can’t wipe out their infrastructure as long as someone is alive who knows how it’s done.
Oh, fire nation bulldozed your house because they felt like it? Well boom. Stomp stomp punch. New identical house made of stone.
Bridge collapsed to cause chaos? Stomp stomp punch, it’s back.
Don’t feel safe living out in the open where fire nation scouts could murderhobo you harder than my last D&D group? Stomp stomp punch, now you have a vast mansion underground in which you can simply… Not go above ground until you need to.
Of course, underground living isn’t simple as “hole in ground, hide all day” but still… There is 0 reason the EK shouldn’t go full Vietnam War tactics.
Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out
AvE started praising the trucker convoys
Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.
Hanlon’s Razor and all that, but I just assume that’s to drive up interaction in the post.
Rant/ramble ahead, you can skip:
By misspelling something, or just doing/saying something that common sense should say is wrong (“life hack, I just discovered this thing that literally every 5 year old already knows about”) you will draw out all the people who are genuinely trying to help, people who just can’t help themselves but smugly correct someone, people who THINK they know the right way but aren’t sure, people who claim to have never seen the right way before, and all the bitch fights such comments produce.
The increased interactions make the post do better in algorithms, which means it goes out to more and more people, who continue the cycle.
My wife watches short form endless scrolling videos despite knowing how bad those are for your mental health, and some of the people she stops to watch are CONSTANTLY pulling the “common sense says otherwise” one. Like my dude you did NOT just figure out in your 20s that you can wait for the shower to warm up before you get in. Literal toddlers know better. It’s such a simple thing, I genuinely do not believe anyone in their 20s just gets in the shower while the water is still cold because they never figured out they can wait for the warm water. But hoooo boy did their video take off and have millions of views, and thousands of comments about how wild that is.
As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.
And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.
I was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”
This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.
Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.
NCD is leaking again…
Not that I mind.
Lol ain’t that the truth.
But I also don’t do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!
What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I’m not “certified”?
Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.
And this isn’t even their final form.

I actually like it when there’s variety to be heard.
Not so much when it’s just one asshole that won’t shut up.
I usually go with “long story shorter…” because I know no matter how much I try to condense things, my explanation will be long simply due to my need to over-explain.
You know, I really want to see things from piped over them…
But every time I try to watch, I get either an endlessly spinning broken circle, or “error: sign in to prove you aren’t a bot” and I’m not gonna jump through hoops when a non-hoopy alternative is just… Don’t use the service.
“I’ll be sure to tell my niece that God wanted her to have leukemia since he thought that’s what she deserved.” is my goto
If God created everything, then God created evil.
Only the Chavatar, master of all four elements, could stop them.
I have a friend who works for a local, but widespread bank, and got to head up their digital security and IT stuff. Not sure what all it encompasses, but he quickly found out that it was a lot, and the previous guy quit because he had had enough bullshit.
Long story shorter, after a particularly bad week, he decided to just… Stop doing his job.
Kept all their legal stuff and sensitive info under lock and key, but the smaller stuff, he just let it go. Went on vacation, turned everything off, didn’t do everything for a temporary replacement (which isn’t even his job, it’s hr’s) and spent a week playing video games and spending time with his wife and baby.
Several employees just in his building basically ended up doing nothing by the end of the first day because they had locked themselves out of the system.
By day 3 there were several lines that couldn’t be used by the tellers in every branch, older employees were bricking their systems so fast, construction workers started taking notes.
By the end of the week they had people showing up at his door to try and contact him since nobody could get ahold of him. Some legit thought he was dead.
His first words when he got into the office on Monday, we’re “THAT is why you pay me.”
And after that, he was given 3 people to help out (he had been asking for 4) and they had a company come in and redo a lot of the computer systems that year.
Still works for the bank, still has a team although I think they’re bigger now since they’ve opened a few more branches, and still tells that story at every gathering after his one single beer gets him tipsy.
Is it just me, or do programmers only come in “lightweight” and “Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry” varieties?
