I am sorry, you are in a universe where you know magic and curses exist. A mysterious person gives you a piece of jewelry and your first instinct is to put it on?

In my latest #CK3 game, I am focusing on setting my dynasty up as serious players in Iberian struggle. A few years in, I zoom out to see what's going on with rest of the Europe, and... Holy Roman Empire, Batman!

Go on Amazon, tell us more about this new genre "sitcom comedies"

Since when did we start calling game demos "free game download"?

I am good calling "Role-based access control" "RBAC" (pronounced are-back), but I draw the line at "Policy-based access control"

#TIL the female version of "baby ko bass pasand hai" is "I'm all about that bass"

This video claims to show my city from 1900-2000, but the photo marked 1907 has a white ambassador car right in the middle of the photo. I think I agree with the comment that says "the city hasn't changed much in last 100 years" 😂

Sign no. 2356 I need to take a break: I just fixed an issue that was tripping 3 teams for more than 2 days, and instead of celebrating, my first thought is "OK, that's done".

Started my morning giving some notes on one of our scripts. I got to read some dam jokes. They were dam good. IYKYK

I know there are other actors in Doctor Who (and some of them are really stars), but you can't write a headline about a "Doctor Who star", have a header photo of Tenth Doctor and Rose, and then bury the name of actual actor (who is neither of those 2) 5 paragraphs down. That's not even clickbait.

A lot of my friends after Shravan and Ganpati is over:

I knew this series took a lot of liberties with the legend of Tenali Rama (you have to, to create 500 episodes), but I didn't know they also had time travel elements. Otherwise, how would Shekh Chilli, a teacher of Dara Shikoh, visit Vijaynagar (destroyed in 1565)?

Destroy this myth. Please share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited.

Following the readalong of Wheel of Time on @reactorsff.bsky.social , and I am once again sad that we won't see the awesomeness that is the Band of the Red Hand. More than anything else, I was in the show to hear them sing "Jak o' the Shadows"

OK, new rule in the meetings. You can't say "AI will do ...", you need to name the exact tool / LLM / application.

Who's coming with me to watch Schrödinger's "A New Hope"? www.polygon.com/star-wars-20...

People keep talking about Buffy "reboot". But original actors are coming back as older characters, and there is a new main character. I do not think the word "reboot" means what one of us thinks it means.

All these years later, and Kara's reaction to getting a surprise icecream still lives rent free in my head.

2 successive headlines in my timeline: 1. Why you should use boarding pass on phone, or shred paper your boarding pass 2. Why you should always print your boarding pass

"We are all one team" = "Your team should be doing this"

Must love the logic here: Henchman A to henchman B: boss told us not to hurt the [heroes] in that car. Henchman B: then let me shoot the tires of their [speeding on uneven terrain] car, instead.

#TIL where they got the menu from Temple of Doom. Someone just misread "Indiana" as "India".

Aah, this series using the old subtitles style: "[Speaks in foreign language]"

I bet there's a German or Japanese word that says "I am sad, but I get it"

In case anyone asks why you are playing video games... I am listening to stuff you missed in history class episode on The Meiji Restoration, and I can actually see how the events mapped fairly straight to a Victoria 3 Japan gameplay I saw.

@bethlovesbollywood.bsky.social They let Naseeruddin Shah get away with that behaviour in Masoom, so he tried again in Main Hoon Na, and got kicked out.

Badshah singing "tujhe raani bana ke rakhunga, mere naam pe mat jana". My brain:

One of my favourite history lessons was when my teacher told me to describe a historical era negatively by focusing on all the bad things and when I did that he told me to do describe the same era positively by focusing on all the good things. It unlocked something in my brain.

This looks like a fun romp. It starts with a curator of a private museum firing shotgun at a thief inside the museum. Then officials of middle eastern government tells a clearly evil archeologist that his permit is revoked, and promptly leave without waiting.

Reading my favorite genre - detective novels, and I wonder, what's up with Britain that the island the size of a peanut requires so many detectives?

@amritaiq.bsky.social how much plot armor does Liandrin have? She got attacked by Siuan and others, stabbed by two swords and still survived to run away.

In the vein of "Books people usually lie they have read", let's do "Indian movies people usually lie they have seen". Off the top of my head, I have frequently heard: 1. Apu trilogy 2. Shatranj ke khiladi 3. 1947 Earth. Anything else?

There is a podcast episode with title "How to be awesome", and my first thought is "Lift would be great as podcast host". From there, it's a short hop to a rabbit hole of starting to imagine all the different podcasts of Roshar.

@asimburney.bsky.social @amritaiq.bsky.social @9e3k.bsky.social I don't remember Tezaab too much, but am I right that Anupam Kher owes the villains money, so they kidnap Madhuri, who is the bread owner of the family? Poora plan hi galat hai...

"Name a famous tv/movie doctor" One of the answers is "Dr. Who"

You know that The Pitt is missing to be a better show? That iconic Home Box Office white noise intro.

"Waiting for my databricks cluster to start" is today's "waiting for my code to compile"

Sitting in an interview as interviewer, the position is my old position in my old team... My manager asks a question. Me (in my head):

If Community was in the same universe as X Files, Scully would have taken one look at Greendale and stopped being a sceptic faster than you can say "Greendale Human Being". comicbook.com/tv-shows/new...

Typing "pants" instead of "plants" is a hilarious typo when you are talking about burning something.

I just realized, we have been thinking of Moria gate requiring a password, but it was a patreon code.

Do Agatha Christie fans call themselves "Poirot-maniacs"? If not, why not?

I love all things Sherlock Holmes, but "Watson" is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting to convince me it's not "what if House and Elementary had a baby"
