Nice ! Digital history from the 90s is wild. So many crazy stories or stroke of luck everywhere. I love the story about the guys at Blizzard refusing to lend an office to a friend who had a promising idea (although totally unrelated to games) while they were working on Diablo 1, which was not an easy game to do. The…

The trio: Poncho, Percy, and Phil.

Very much this.  I’m 100% team minivan...even for just 2 kids.  They make so much sense.  A small fun car + minivan is the perfect 2 car garage IMO.

Not just that, but even in the low resolution (720p) they used it looks much blurier than the original image. Imagine how much worse it would look if they uploaded a better quality video that showed the lost details and resolution from the original gameplay.

I’m imagining what a world would think of if they had somehow gotten to this level of technology and overall media consumption without ever having had the black and white phase, like if all photos, movies, and shows had always been in color since their inception. No one would have nostalgia for it, no one would…

so they really do just google shit with no thought or further research... i really shouldn’t be so hard on myself about my writing, clearly the industry doesn’t give a shit.

If what I’ve observed in the corporate world translated to cartoon Springfield, his incompetence would mean he would have been promoted several times by now and making an enviable salary doing his job badly.

I’ve been think a lot lately about how much my generation (35 year old millennial) was fed lies growing up. We were taught that the world was fair, that hard work was all that was needed, that there was a place for everyone and no one gets left behind. I still believed that until this decade. I think the single…

It’s almost like you get punished for not being fit enough to contribute to our economy like more able bodied people. Look up the concept of “human capital”. Freaking makes you want to put on a Pink Floyd record.

If I asked you whether health insurance covers this kind of thing as medical equipment, would you laugh, cry, or a bit of both?

If you ever want to know how much effort is put into the portrayal of a long-term wheelchair-user, just look at the chair itself.

I generally only post for the sake of trolling—which most people don’t get in spite of my fucking avatar—but this time, I’m proud to agree. Fuck the CCP. Taiwain is the true Republic of China, and the only real bastion of freedom in the far East.

you’re right, I was lumping AOS in with the MCU in that comment even though they’ve basically been separate entities since s3 of the show

You’re absolutely right. How hard would a brief cameo have been? The VFX guys threw in spaceship cameos at the end of Star Wars Episode IX, for the fans and just for fun. Marvel missed an opportunity there. Don’t forget the fans; they remember everything.

Hive’s final scene with Lincoln in space is definitely one of my favourites the MCU has ever given a villain. such a stark, powerful moment

Those fast download speeds are kind of like health care here in America; great, if you can get it.

Meanwhile, twenty-nine parents were on record as saying “What, your cards? Those old things? I threw them out years ago, I told you I needed space in that closet for [*]...well, anyways, you didn’t listen!”

For the readers questioning how others could possibly gain pleasure through spending money this way, let’s remember the following human activities:
