Maybe I am not in the right tax bracket to even understand this kind of pricing for a burger. This is not a burger you buy because it is delicious (at this price point that is a given). You buy it to brag you were able to. You buy it because you are rich enough to think of $106 plus tax, beverages, fries and tips as…

I can sympathize. I have a recurring nightmare where I am driving up a steep hill, then the car turns off and accelerates downhill backwards, and I can’t move my legs to press the brakes or move my arms, and to top it off, some dark green goo uncontrollably seeps out of my mouth. I am desperate to do something and…

Step 1: Wait two years.
Step 2: Squeeze together all those nicely spaced chips and components.

I have a GTX 770 from back in 2013.  Agreed, that means no VR and no ray tracing, but so far it plays everything I throw at it decently.  I am waiting for motherboards to support PCI Express 4 out of the gate without a Bios swap to build a new rig, so this delay kinda suits me. My 770 still has life in it.

As a fan of Alien, I enjoy it when xenomorphs invade non-human life forms for a widely mutated result. However I have to admit that this demonstrates xenomorph/kid-friendly crossovers are their very own brand of disturbing. Just imagine the results if they did this to Thomas the Tank Engine, Peppa Pig, the Muppet…

Is the city on the third picture based on Howl’s Moving Castle? Because it totally reminds me of it.

Got it. Thanks for the reply! I can’t say I have the same view as I find it hard to side with nihilism -today at least; tomorrow, who knows?- but I can respect yours. And yes, it’d be foolish not to recognize some people have no hope of being better unless “it happens to them”, and some not even then. But maybe…

You know what I think, in general? That the problem, the REAL problem, is more around the lines of people unwilling to listen to each other. Here’s a story if you want to read it:

Honestly? I think wealth has nothing to do with it. Anyone’s point of view is influenced by their beliefs and experiences, so her money is only one factor. And when your beliefs about something like this are so rooted, usually the only thing that turns them around is experiencing what the other side lives like.  And…

In other news, the identity of the infamous “Florida Man”, high deity of the dumb, face of many mugshots and primary definition of “WTF” in the urban dictionary, has been revealed to be Governor Ron DeSantis.

Anyone else got some strong Team Rocket vibes from the ladies sitting on the hood of the car?

Let me say first that I understand and support the opinion that the police system needs a radical overhaul, maybe even a full replacement, due to all the endemic issues that have been plaguing it for years if not decades.

Batman & Robin?

Didn’t think of it at the time, but that would be a good idea in so many levels... not only you’d get to do something nice for others, but also twisting someone’s idea of a torment into charity work is probably one of the cleverest ways to troll them back.

Ah, but what if all the free pizzas have nothing but toppings you hate and/or are allergic to?

I only have one EA game on Steam. Jedi: Fallen Order. Good game. But it totally irks me to launch it from Steam only to see Origin launch their thin client. Yeah, I agree that’s a petty little thing to bitch about. “OOooh, so widdle Bat-Dowk can’t stand a little launcher. BOOO-effin-HOOO, you played the game, didn’t…

Ah! I see you are a man of culture as well.

Popular opinion: Evangelion is very good!

I’ve joked with my family that a trip to the grocery store feels like a live-action Pac-Man game featuring me as the yellow wakka-wakka muncher, while everyone else is a ghost. I keep switching aisles wherever I see other people too close to anything I might need, and it extends the lenght of the trip.  “And I play on…

A custom one-off in this economy is definitely aimed at the rich, who will obviously continue to be rich through the pandemic.  So yes, I can see how this makes sense financially for the people who customized it.
