I kinda wanna make a joke about how if I could hack a company’s server with my phone, I’d plead “Not my fuckin’ fault” 😆

I don’t know... I mean, definitely shame on the people selecting the puzzles behind the scenes for failing to do their due diligence, like complete idiots, but I’m going to go with Hanlon’s razor on this one; “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

The moment the Arasaka goons mentioned Adam Smasher, I—triggered by memories over 20 years old—literally yelled “OH FUCK NO.” at the TV. Because it was then that I knew, there’s a good chance none of our Edgerunners were making it out of this as anything but bodybank fodder. But hey, David got a drink named after him…

Basically. But, like... Think even worse somehow. Think, I don’t know... “What if a Tarrasque, but also Strahd”? 😂

I suffer from agoraphobia and social phobia to a literally debilitating degree, and for the past few years—even before the pandemic—I’ve just been making online orders at our local grocery store (Hannaford) and having a family member pick it up when they do their shopping since we live in different units in the same…

Even day one, there was a solid game to be found. There may have been a ton of bugs in the PC version, but only a few rare ones that were truly ‘game-breaking’. The rest were primarily just a little annoying at worst. That isn’t to say there wasn’t stuff wrong with the game though, because it’s needed a lot of…

The original Cyberpunk sourcebooks from the late ‘80s and early-to-mid ‘90s have a lot of cameos from anime characters as easter eggs in the illustrations. R. Talsorian Games also straight up produced a Bubblegum Crisis TTRPG, as I recall. 😁

If the anime gave you any interest at all in that world, you should still play the game. Watching other people play it isn’t nearly the same thing. I know it doesn’t seem like there should be a huge difference as far as the narrative and interactions go, but you feel much more invested as an active participant than…

Such a high horse that they’re clearly suffering from hypoxia up there. 😏

It literally gives the year as 5 BBY on the screen as the first scene opens. Anyone who doesn’t already know all they need to from that isn’t going to give much more of a shit with all of this explained. 🤨

I’m gonna say what I said last time; I agree, the prices seem insane compared to like, the $799 (I think?) I paid for an RTX 2080 Founder’s Edition in 2019, but if you compare it to the 3000 series, the 4000 series prices seem pretty good! Just the other day I was looking at a 3090 Ti for $1,299 on Amazon, and the…

What? The MSRP on the 4090 is only $300 more than the 3090 Ti I was eying on Amazon last week, and it’s supposed to be 2-4x faster. 🤨

Jesus Christ. Is there something in the water here in Vermont or what?! 🤨

Okay, look, I happily line up to make fun of the royals same as anyone, but as you pointed out at the beginning, the bee thing isn’t royal weirdness, apparently it’s just normal beekeeper weirdness. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was pleasantly... Surprised?—No. Not disappointed, I guess? I knew this was going to be amazing unless they somehow completely fucked it up. Nothing in-between. Edgerunners was legitimately one of the best anime I’ve watched in a while, and I’m not just saying that because it’s based in a world I’ve been heavily…

I watched it in Japanese because I’ve been an incurable fucking weeb for four decades. But what I’ve seen of the dub is decent. Like, good enough that it won’t drive me mad knowing that my sub-averse family members will watch that instead. Making it a rare case. 🤔

You could always put a piece of soft heat shrink sleeving around the P-38 to ‘safe’ it for carry until needed in an emergency. (Just make sure it’s not the adhesive-lined type! 😂)

Man, the entire right-wing has turned into such a massive echo chamber/circlejerk that it’s hard to imagine anyone escaping once they’ve got more than a toe in those waters. So congratulations on beating the odds! 🎉

Well, that’s good to know... The first free at-home COVID tests I requested from that USPS page have an expiration date of 8/10/22... When they opened that back up for another round and with August rapidly approaching, I figured I’d better order another set just in case. Thinking that when they arrived I’d donate my…

Nothing pisses off the cops more than somebody who knows their rights and won’t let the cops intimidate them. That he’s black was just insult to injury for these uniformed clowns. 😑
