The slow grooming of the Player teaching them about the moon powder followed by the game ending where you shoot the moon is a big fat core memory for me. I still get goosebumps. I’m not a hardcore gamer but it felt so awesome.
Dude I’m stupid and didn’t really pay attention to the moon dust stuff, but it’s ok because that game is so good, they frame that scene so well and have the moon just visible over GladOS’s shoulder (so to speak), I still realized exactly what I needed to do. Probably one of my favorite “ah-ha” moments in gaming.
All of the little provocations throughout this thread have been enough to make me twich, but this is the one that pushed me over the edge. I’m this close to printing out your comment just so I can correct it!
Aaarrgghh! I was just calming down, and now the twitching is back! Nurse! Nurse! I need my dried frog pills, someone is doing terrible things to the English language online.
My friend, who is a windows and android guy, encourage his family to buy Macs and iPhones. That way when they have problems, he sends them to the Apple Store.
I mean, good idea ;) P. S.: I’ve yet to meet a Linux guy who wouldn’t help out another Linux person. Well, admittedly I’m the only Linux guy, but I’d help Linux people just because of principle ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’m good with public filming in our current world where the government tracks everything we do. It’s the only hope for a shred of transparency and accountability. I’d only be okay with restrictions on public filming if those restrictions are also applied to all of the powers that be as well.
Architecture deans love this kind of shit. My old alma mater had the college of architecture building intentionally half finished, and then sealed with glass where appropriate. As a result, you can see into the wall, the floors, the ceilings, even the exterior walls in places to constructively illustrate the principles being taught.
My understanding is that the professors like to joke that exams are “open book, open note, and open building”
I feel the internet is kinda going overboard with the opposite. Not every ancient relationship between 2 men was sexual and even if it was, bisexualism is a thing too. Say no to bi-erasure.
Iliad literally starts with Achilles arguing with Agamemnon over female slaves(Chryseis and Briseis) and who gets to keep who. And it was because of this, that Achilles refused to participate in the fighting from then on(also because he was OP as fuck and the game devs needed a reason to keep him on the sidelines, kinda like Superman dying in the Justice League).
And it wasnt till Patroclus(Achilles’ friend/boyfriend) took Achilles’ armor in order to help the losing greeks(raise morale thinking Achilles was fighting again) and then died to Hector, that Achilles went on his angry superman killing spree. Here is a rare video of Achilles after Hector killed Patroclus
Also ancient greeks wrote about their potentially sexual relationship but ultimately, this whole story was a myth. This was “ancient history” for the ancient greeks of classical Greece, something that happened almost 1000 years ago. And there was a “dark era” in between Mycenaean Greece(Iliad) and Classical Greece(Athens and Sparta bullshit), that we dont know much about.
History, as we know it(ie the writing down of actual historical facts) only became a thing during Classical Greece. Herodotus, the “father of history”, sometimes was accused by his contemporaries of embellishing his stories, “content brain” was a thing even then.
“Let’s also make our users follow really complex password requirements but have our password creation/change page be different from the actual login screen so they have a really hard time using a password manager”-dumbass IT department
My current employer actually just changed our password policy to greatly extend the password expiration date. We have cranked up the password requirements a tad, every login has 2FA and permissions are locked down to the size of a gnats asshole. Users seem to like it better since they don’t have to come up with a new password as often and we are telling ourselves it’s harder to brute force.
15 character minimum passwords that expire every 90 days and require MFA to remote in from home with 3 separate login sessions just to get to your PC, along with stripped down rights for everyone, even IS. The rights are so strict that if you wanted to, for instance, update a trusted application like Notepad++ because a recent exploit was found which would be a security concern, you can't use the auto-update feature of the application; you have to download it manually from their repository, and run it using a special admin account created for you that doesn't have an associated email address but also has a 90 day password requirement. But you wouldn't been able to use their repository 6 months ago because we block any IP address outside the US and their previous service was located in UK, so if you wanted to keep that piece of software up-to-date with security and vulnerability patches (which they've harped on a number of times before) you'd have to find alternative download services located in the US regardless of how shady.
I have a buddy who went to a convention in Seattle right around the time they legalized it. Said you could smell it as soon as you walked outside; the entire city smelled like pot.
That’s weird. By the time weed was recreationally legalized in Seattle weed being acceptable was old news, and people had been smoking without worry for a decade.
I think that plus tons of people from out of state being there for the convention. My friend flew in from the east coast, for example. So I bet there were tons of people there who were taking advantage of the new legislation.
‘I’m going to play this movie like I’m working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me.’
I love how he mostly took the role so his daughter could see him in something, since she was too young to see most of his stuff, but he ended up really enjoying it and considered it one of his best roles.
And there are five of us who can afford figs for everyone forever, but decided to use that money to lure underaged teens for orgy outside in some secluded islands.
