CodexArcanum,

It helps to be tripping absolute balls on mushrooms, peyote, or other hallucinogens. Well “helps” in the sense that while the angel will seem normal, ordinary rocks will now terrify you.

CodexArcanum,

Project Warlock 2 looking pretty good!

CodexArcanum,

I loved Outlaw Star! Such cool world building!

CodexArcanum,

There’s a Twitter or 4chan post floating around about how putting the cart back is the apex test of your humanity because there’s no reward for doing it and no consequences for not. It’s just “are you a good enough dude to put the cart back?”

(Unless you live near one of those places where you “rent” the cart for a coin, in which case there is a slim monetary value in cart management.)

CodexArcanum,

Technically things are carved into stone, so…

It’s from a meme, “Money printer go brrrr” which was I think a spin off of the “It prints money!” meme for the original Wii (Edit: did some research and I think they’re unrelated.) Its the sound of the machine, printing money, it go brrr.

I’ve seen it used for all kinds of things, but “go brrr” is basically a dismissive way of talking about how “winning” something is.

Edit: I think Picard Manuever explains it better actually, and while I don’t think my usage note is untrue from how I’ve seen the meme used in evolutions, I’d have to agree that it originally and usually takes the form they described.

Bisexual dog just chilling, not bothering no one

CodexArcanum,

Now that you call it out, I agree! Bale gets a lot of praise for his ability to morph his body for different roles, but is otherwise only alright as an actor. But he happens to be in many great movies with other iconic figures which really elevates his cachet.

Affleck is pretty good. I also really liked Pattenson’s emo sad-Bruce version quite a bit more than I expected to. For me, nothing will ever be as nostalgic and iconic as the Tim/Conroy animated portrayal.

CodexArcanum,

I think he was saying that if the condom pops the fun stops. Presumably because then you’re worried about STDs, pregnancy, and so on.

But yes, it is funny that the American sex stereotype of men is that that they finish once, quickly, and are then done. Being in more sex positive spaces, the attitude is closer to “orgasms are nice but not the whole point.”

18+ What's your favorite episode of MST3k? (lemmy.world)

I remember one day hearing my father downstairs laughing his ass off. Went down to see what was so funny to find he had just discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000, and was losing it watching The Giant Gila Monster. I sat down to watch. I didn’t really get it then, but I’ve been a fan ever since.

Space Mutiny and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank are tied for me. They both still absolutely slay me everytime I put them on. Seasonally appropriate too!

"Sabotaged?! But what of the little children and their toys? "

“Finally, Christmas comes to Santa!”

“So he only dabbles in dopples?”

CodexArcanum,

Terranigma is one of my favorite SNES games! It is a truly awesome adventure and so underrated!

I played through a lot of fan translations and obscure games when I first discovered emulation. E.V.O Search for Eden is another weird, unique RPG from that era, which I highly recommend!

The 1976 arcade game called Death Race (seemingly no relation) is one of the first to ever spark controversy over violence in video games. It’s not too well known today, being almost 50 years old and fairly primitive.

And fun movie fact, Death Race 2000 is Sylvester “Sly, The Italian Stallion” Stallone’s first non-pornographic film role.

CodexArcanum,

“Pretty wise, not too much though,” So-so-crates

CodexArcanum,

When I was your age, a family size bag fed the entire family. Now I can barely keep one toddler in crispy fried potatoes! What kind of world is this to raise a child in?!

CodexArcanum,

YouTuber HBomberguy just released a video on plagiarism. Another well known YouTube video about that caving incident was wholesale stolen from an article about it (but I don’t think it was either of your articles.) Must be the “vaguely related to caving” time of the year!

CodexArcanum,

Since there’s only one bathroom, I’ve been assuming that engineering just teleports all the bodily waste out of the crew and directly into the replicators’ matter feeds, Hogwarts-style. Saves time, keeps the crew light and active, keeps the transport operators sharp while between planets.

CodexArcanum,

Those salacious curves on the

really close the deal

CodexArcanum,

Reminds me of D&D how the party can have a full strategy session between rounds like the Lich King can’t hear them and also took a 10 minute breather between spells. I do occasionally as DM remind people that they’re in the middle of a fight, especially when analysis paralysis sets in.

A lot of comics and cartoons stretch time a bit for talking. Jojo really abuses the concept though, they’ll pause mid-punch for a legit science lecture!

National Novel Writing Month, often abbreviated NaNoWriMo, is an annual event encouraging people to finally write that novel they’ve always said they would. The goal is to write 50K words during the month. There are usually meet ups, writing workshops, and other gatherings so participants can encourage each other, share ideas, and generally have fun being part of a thing.

Edit to add: The “nation” is the USA I’m assuming. I’m in the USA and have only heard of it being a US thing. Presumably if you live somewhere else and want to write a book in November, the various online communities would be glad to have you though.

CodexArcanum,

Feel better Stamets! I too have a case of Thanksgiving covid. Seems to be spreading very badly this season, i know many people who also caught it this week.

CodexArcanum,

We used to play with the house rule that draws stack and transfer until the player is unable to play some kind of deflection. Nothing like sending grandma packing with a Draw 16 stack! (Who am I kidding, granny was the one always whipping our asses at cards! 😭)

CodexArcanum,

I’ve dealt with depression for most of my life, but with a lot of work and medicine and care, it’s possible to get past self loathing and pity. And then, you can stretch “staring into the abyss” into an all day activity as you reflect on how good personal mental health doesn’t make the world less of a nightmare!

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

CodexArcanum,

City Park here in NOLA is 1300 acres (50% larger than Central Park) and was established in 1854, making it three years older as well. Stay losing NYC! 😜

CodexArcanum,

I’d accept Maria’s as the only Christmas song anyone is allowed to play if it meant that they never played goddamn fucking awful Wonderful Christmastime ever again!
