I can't tell if I'm seeing more bots out in the wild, or if people just talk like that now

George Washington chose the date July 4th for his final attack, as he knew it would be the hottest day of 1776, and the English did not have air conditioners.

I feel like the popularity of gacha games is going to do some real bad things to the watchability of anime in the coming years.

The number of people who don't recognize that these are dark comedy and not super srs sci-fi worldbuildering is a little alarming.

I'm starting to realize why the Odyssey never really got a film adaptation. If you adopt it faithfully the majority of the story is Odysseus scheming in present day, and all the mythical adventures exist in like a few paragraphs of Odysseus telling obvious bullshit stories to someone.

AAA devs getting laid off is real sad and all. But getting fired from a company that mistreats you, and immediately going to look for work at another company that is guaranteed to also mistreat you in the exact same way is... uh... well it's something.

Also, big hard drive

The 1 liter syringe

Does a water cooler count as an electric kettle?

Okay, I was definitely way too optimistic

I like how the vast majority of Odysseus's men die because they show up on some random island and immediately call the queen fat.

I feel like the progression of : Roadside Picnic -> Stalker (1979) -> S.T.A.L.K.E.R. -> Tarkov is a series of properties increasingly misunderstanding or ignoring their source material and focusing solely on superficial aesthetics.

You know, Half-Life is the kind of game that you actually can't make anymore. The government is portrayed as unambiguously evil and incompetent. You know damn well the HECU would be an evil PMC. Even HL2 made the bad guys nonspecific faceless mooks.

Half Life: Delta Particles feels like it was made by someone who has never once seen a picture of America and it’s great

Wait, have people really been saying "smoov off" for almost a year now? I swear I hadn't heard it until like a week ago.

I see we've unlocked quantum of entanglement of strategic bomber sized objects

I'll give it a month before someone gets bombed again

Okay, how can people unironically say DS2 is the best one when it has this many poison sections

Real question. Why do none of these guys getting laid off from art departments ever do commissions? It's always donations or art lessons, or what have you. Never commissions.

How do people live in areas with poisonous spiders? Do they just not bite? I wake up with a spider bite at least once a week.

I am regretfully informed that some people pronounce it ‘nah-eev’

History doesn't remember Ozymandias because all he built were dumb statues and didn't build himself a tomb full of spooky skeletons and booby traps

I feel like it should be "naiive" and not "naive" if you don't do the ï. Naiïve

I like how all the Dark Souls sound effects inexplicably sound like they're from 1998

Games seem to be doing this thing where they try to mimic real outdoor brightness. But like, can I not stare at a monitor that's like 80% white please?

Dohickey completed

Do modern motherboards not have the ability to beep? This is a travesty.

Fantasy never really does scale correctly, even when it tries to be big. There aren't nearly enough castles. There should be a castle like every 3 miles. Literally every knight has a castle, sometimes multiple. You cannot be a knight without owning a castle. There are thousands of knights.

It really bothers me when people complain that "things used to be built to last". When's the last time you used an antique doohickey? Because I can tell you, they most definitely have not been built to last for about 80 years now. Things have been plastic garbage since plastic garbage existed.

Has Homer never heard of paragraph breaks? Has the man never written anything down before?

Synths work way better in fantasy than string orchestras do.

Reading about every crusade is like: Here is a list of all these important nobles who bravely went on an expedition to defeat the encroaching muslims. And here is the one and only major battle of the crusade where all of them got absolutely wrecked.

I think I'm less annoyed with remakes, and more annoyed that Ocarina of Time is considered a timeless classic worth remaking.

I need an embossing label maker

I think there's an interesting juxtaposition between the modern liminal-space aesthetic and the kaufman-esque absurdism that inspired it.

Seeing so many people excited for yet another Halo game makes it clear that the industry is never going to change unless it completely crashes. Video games are just over, the last real video game was made 20 years ago, and they've been remaking it since.

It's a little disconcerting how many people I see independently doing studies of the exact same reference photos.

TADC: *kills off the only character who isn't a yuppie* *doesn't comment on it whatsoever*

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that Fallout is a bad series. Just like in general. None of them are particularly good.
