Is this the piece of pop culture most responsible for the “monkey cheez” brand of humor? 

There’s also been a half dozen graphic novel adaptations (the first few done by Raina Telgemeier) that were pretty effective at getting my daughter into the series. 

That dude is hideous looking, but you can’t say he doesn’t have a chin. A distressingly asymmetrical nose, yes. A rapidly vanishing hairline, yes. Lifeless eyes, like a doll’s eyes, yes. Disastrously shaped lips, yes. Tiny, ridiculous ears, yes. But he has a chin.  

That desk is extremely cool, but isn’t the inclined edge on the front bad for ergonomic reasons? Think of your forearm support!

I really enjoyed this piece, although it made me realize I’d forgotten Pitt was in Ford and thus that I’d forgotten the entire movie. I remember liking it, and I have a vague memory of the scene where James is shot, but beyond that, it has slipped off my brain utterly. 

Dollar sign goes before the number here in America, pal. 

Serious question: do you feel conflicted about profiting on such an industry?

This made me laugh for about a minute straight.

I agree with your point, and obviously I’m gonna keep making references because that’s how my brain has been since I was in junior high; I was just saying in terms of the cumulative effect on language, they’re both broadly “bad” if you’re prescriptivist, as I am.

Can we please use the existing word “solution” instead of trying to push “solve” into being a noun? Business speak sucks. 

This happened to me for a while, but I managed to snap out of it. How about something more Skinner box-y, like a loot shooter? Or a weird puzzler like Baba Is You?

I was thinking DumpsterSlop myself, or maybe TrashSauce.

I never played Torment; I don’t remember if I even finished BGII. I was more of an Icewind Dale person, which, to me, was more of a return to the classic Wizardry (for me, Might and Magic, I’m not quite that old) style of “make a party, do the dungeon crawl” without so much of a character interplay focus.

What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.
