Like there are a lot of sharp corners inside of a PC case when you’re building one.  I generally bleed on *something* just not “directly into the coolant tank”, but that’s probably something I could manage if I had a reason to.

I’d think if you’re dipping into the barware for glasses, a tulip glass would be a better choice than a highball.  Just because the major failure mode for water glasses is “tipping over” and highballs have their center of gravity right in the middle.

It’s weird that people key on “attractiveness” for Player Characters in an Elfgame.  In TTRPGs I’m generally looking for a specific aesthetic, but that aesthetic is rarely “beautiful”.   If people think Gith are weird looking, the set of options for BG3 probably isn’t wide enough.  Like the tabletop games have rules…

If you watch the C.H.U.D. episode of The Last Drive-In you will find that Mr. Briggs decidedly does *not* like the movie at all.  It might be the single episode where he spends the most time excoriating the film he’s showing.

I’m okay at Connections but the thing that drives me nuts is that sometimes there are valid sets of four that the game does not accept (though you could convince a human referee at their validitiy.)

Burger toppings I have had that do not appear on this list include: roast beef, pulled pork, macaroni & cheese, chicken fingers, chimichurri, chocolate sauce, etc.

Where this strategy really hurts the game is those categories like “Before, During, and After” where the contestants don’t have to recall information so much as “combine information.” It’s much easier to start with the $400 clue whose response is “What is Easter Egg Roll Tide” than the $2000 one with the correct…

I think that’s the nature of campaign stuff.  It always costs more than it would if it wasn’t associated with a political campaign since these things are also fundraisers.

Whichever staffer was responsible for this explained the “Dark Brandon” meme to the man himself well enough to get him to play along. The man is a million years old, but I still thought this was very funny:

Well, at least getting rid of that guy in a few months will be a major upside to Microsoft acquiring ABK.

I mean a significant portion of Microsoft’s big brands involve the sort of game (often an RPG) where the main character is a cipher for the player to project themselves onto.  Honestly I like this sort of thing well enough that I’m fine without a MS Smash Brothers- I don’t even really care for the Nintendo Smash Bros.

Hopefully they will follow up on Halloween 3 to show what happened after those Druids killed all those kids.  That’s the Halloween cinematic universe I want.

I always figured that in the end, neither of them were the Thing, but due to the absolute lack of trust they were unable to verify that the other one wasn’t the Thing, so they decided independently to wait it out and freeze to death instead of letting the Thing escape.

Yeah, California’s economy is large enough that it basically gets to legislate for the rest of the US since no company is going to create a “CA only SKU” when they can just alter the thing to comply with the California regulation. Like I’ve even been to California (no reason, just haven’t) but I’ve bought tons of…

John Carpenter absolutely doesn’t need to direct again to establish his legacy, but The Ward was pretty terrible, and I believe he’s got another one in him.  I’ve always had the sense that he’d rather stay home, smoke pot, and play video games and get paid for music.  But if he wants to make another movie, someone…

Maybe this is why Carmy keeps his jeans in the oven in “The Bear.”  You can “wash” so many jeans at once by just setting your oven to 250.

If you’re already cooking something sous vide, put your jeans in a big ziploc and pasteurize them!

This reminds me of when a Minneapolis Feminist/Queer independent bookstore founded in 1970 calling itself “Amazon Bookstore” sued Amazon dotcom for trademark infringement. Maybe Florida’s laws are different from Minnesota’s in a significant way here, but I imagine it will end similarly (the Bookstore closed in 2012).

“Lyft Driver speeds away before I can collect my cat” is a primal terror I didn’t know I had until yesterday.

By that logic, why not replace CEOs with AI? I guarantee ChatGPT could do just as good of a job as David Zaslav.
