I don't know what game this is, but importing the Space Marine 2 character models into it was genius.

They'll still figure out a way to lay off people who aren't even employed, I guarantee it.

I bought a Vicious Mockery shirt because of this song, it's easily my fav of his, but he has a few others I'm also fond of.

But this one just slaps 🤌

Due to popular demand, here is a demonstration video of how to make 3D printed PCBs using just vector drawing software, a 3D printed (PETG filament for mine) and self-adhesive copper tape. Any questions, let me know!

Even Disney Infinity sold really well until the "licensors" fucked it up by demanding minimum order runs on figures that would never sell 10k figs 🤷

It was a GREAT model and honestly my kids loooooved both Skylanders and Disney Infinny.

I enjoyed buying them the figs. Better than skins, 100%

It's honestly the best lesson to take away from it (graphics are unimportant, make it fun enough and able to run everywhere)

The second best lesson to learn from it is the UGC side of it.

Let's not take any lessons about predatory micropayments or ACTUAL PREDATORS from it, though 😬

The "but it might work for us" punchline after two characters just described how no one ever learned their lesson chasing other companies' ideas, indicating they have ALSO hilariously not learned the lesson they were just discussing

My dad and I realizing it was dinner time and the sun had set and we were still in our pajamas, playing my new Atari 2600 ALL DAY, that I purchased with my paper route money I had saved for a year

All we had was Missile Command, Pac-Man, and Combat on a B&W TV! And it's one of my favorite memories.

The good news is, they then started playing another level, shared their screen, and showed ANOTHER level you broke 🤣

(I already fixed that one at least 😮‍💨)

Having the kind of week at work where on Tuesday (this week's Monday!) you find out you broke a level three months ago and haven't touched it since, when your director in your 1-on-1 is playing it and is like "oh no wha habba?" and you are on day 2 of what should have been a simple fix 😮‍💨
