Imagining the distant future where digital archeologists reconstruct the original Bad Apple from various "Bad Apple but it's ______" videos.

Not surprised at the ratio, honestly. Acting like a programmer involves thinking like a computer, and as we all know computers are dumb.

The perfect length for a memey video like "what would be the perfect place in Silksong for a Costco" is either like 6 minutes, or 90+. No in between.

Ah Tyranids, the Eldrazi equivalent of bedbugs.

I understand why they didn't, but I do wish WotC leaned more into the "the planes are the mud at the bottom of a pond, and eldrazi are just bottom feeding fish rooting around for meals" angle.

Overwatch has made me incredibly thankful that my formative multiplayer game, TF2, is still both accessible and remains enjoyable in short bursts. Vastly changed, but now we've even got an (unofficial) vanilla mod to really capture that feeling of 2007 again.

I worked at Blue Origin for a few years and this is his MO. That place was basically entirely funded by Bezos writing blank checks for years, then in 2020 when the people under him came in with the budget, he gave them an ultimatum: that's the last free lunch, after this it's profitability or bust.

This is like when I collected a bunch of images of character designs I liked and realized 90% of them were wearing a choker or a collar.

I blame it on my first middle school crush wearing a studded collar.

Honestly, probably worth a change, if only to buck the trend of Anime-Girl-with-Dead-Eyes-Looking-Into-the-Camera icons.

Myo *is* iconic, after all.

For about a year, there was one parked car in the suburbs that was absolutely COVERED in stickers of half naked anime girls kissing.

I haven't seen it for months, and I kinda miss the yurimobile.

Devils hang out in vegas because the appeal of a gamble is most foreign to an omniscient god.

Oh dang, my bad! I assumed I was already logged in and that "registered subscribers" meant paying members, I must've never used the site on my phone before.

Seems weird that (what I assume is) the transcript is behind a subscription wall when the podcast itself is public. It's not a big deal or anything, just can't listen right now.

Yeah, I've been dismissing the update message since I downloaded it in 2021, I should be safe.

Was reminded of this, and even if you have no interest in baseball, I highly recommend watching it. This is an amazing investigation of just how far reputation alone can take you: youtu.be/JwMfT2cZGHg

Unfortunately "you have infinite money after the final fantasy set, just get more printers" isn't really feasible either, I have it on good knowledge that curled foils plaguing magic cards for half a decade was the teething problems of two new print factories getting everything just right.

It's 5 "microdrops", each at a specific price point. The MOST charitable interpretation is that "printing enough/on demand" isn't feasible anymore because their printers are running magic cards 24/7 already and so they're trying to see what price point brings down demand to match the limited supply.

They're testing the full limit of player's willingness to put up with bullshit.

I've got like one extra line of space on the page in my resume. Dare I put "Times Person of the Year 2006"?
