You “well-actually-ing” motherfuckers are the fucking worst. But I guess that makes me a sheeple, though, right? You folks are insufferable. 

How about “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” as one of the underrated games of the decade? It’s fairly short and fairly difficult, but, for me, it was one of the most impactful, emotionally-resonant games I’ve ever played. It’s such a beautiful, fucked up, disturbing masterpiece that I can’t think of anything that…

No doubt, that game was great. I caught it on a Steam sale for an absurdly cheap price, and wasn’t expecting much at all. I only played it because I had it and didn’t have much else to play at the time.

I thought at one point it was announced there would be a sequel..? Is my memory faulty, or was this just another project that fell to the wayside?

Yeah, Sleeping Dogs was really (surprisingly?) great. Years ago, I got it on Steam for like 4 bucks, and I can’t think of a better $4 I’ve ever spent. Everyone should play it.

I got the founder’s edition, and, thus far, it’s exceeded my expectations. No, it’s not great, but I’ve played around 20 hours of AC: Odessey, and in that time I’ve only had one issue where I got kicked from the game. So far, I love it.

I had to fire an employee earlier this week because, while on a work trip in Georgia, a maid walked in on him whacking it, and his response was to stare her in the face and continue whacking it. He also, clad only in his drawers, chased another maid around the property, demanding a hug.

I’ve often wondered why that is. I’m guessing it’s because dump-truck drivers are paid by the load...? Still, though, time is money for semi drivers as well...

I didn’t watch the full 14.5 minutes of Chuck E Cheese brawls in that video, admittedly. However, I’d be willing to bet that no less than ⅓ of the incidents in that compilation are from my shit hole home state: South Carolina. More specifically, the Columbia location just a few miles from my house.

You know, the cop version has little metal teeth in it instead of the plastic teeth featured in the civilian version (or, it used to, at least)? Neat, huh?

The wait was the worst, wasn’t it? Jesus... I can’t think of any time in my life when I’ve been as anxious as I was during those days between the test and the results. I hear the new test has nearly-instant results, or at least same-day.

Yeah, there was some sort of ringback code to make all the phones in the house ring; I used to do it constantly to irritate my parents when I was a kid. Can’t remember what it was, though. When you answered, there was this mechanical-sort of tone that droned on constantly so you could always tell it was a ringback. I…

As South Carolina Alum and quasi-fan, I never expect much from the Cocks and don’t lose any sleep over their perpetual mediocrity. For me, any joy I derive from Gamecocks football comes simply from the team playing the spoiler and ruining other, superior teams’ seasons. If they don’t win another game this season, even…

I understand your confusion, here. Some of that shit was pretty funny in a Kaufman-esque sorta way, at least at first. But, man, after so much of that bullshit, alongside the random country music interludes lasting several minutes, it really started to grate on me. I felt insulted by those segments, like the writers…

Have you listened to the episode of The Dollop podcast about The Emu war? It’s fantastic. Also, since I’m on the topics of The Dollop and Australian history, "The Animal Horror of Macquarie Island" is another wildly entertaining episode. Super fucked up, but a pretty great listen. 

It is still sorta badass around these parts (South Carolina), but not really because of the hunters. It’s more about the dogs.

Many years back, I worked with a guy who always referred to me as “chief.” It always felt so condescending and smarmy and it irritated me from the very start. And, after a couple months, it was making me furious. I eventually asked the guy to kindly knock it off because it was bothering me so much. He said he would;…

Considering I live in, and am on-board with, one of the few small, blue spots in the sea of red that is South Carolina, this could be a fairly frightening thought. Fortunately, though, so many of the folks I know in the more-rural surrounding areas are fat and lazy and, once you get beyond their bluster, are little…
