Why can’t you just let me say I think you and yours should be eliminated from the face of the planet! These are my beliefs and I deserve to be able to shout them without censure!

“Where else would people go?”

Counter-counter: why do they need to go anywhere? That is to say: why, when they leave Twitter, should they then go elsewhere? We have internalized Twitter as a sort of de-facto part of our lives, but there’s no reason it has to be. The screaming raucous chorus of 280 characters is hardly…

What’s left at that point?

It’s why I am stuck using Mojave: this Mac machine was the (work) computer I saved up my money to buy. Six months after it came out Apple released Catalina that would wipe out all the 32 bit software I cannot afford to upgrade, and I’ve been stuck with this expensive aging machine ever since.

Got I hate Apple so much.

Holy shit - Oklahoma? Gosh, it’s such an honour to meet you!

See, I find this interesting because back when I watched wrestling, the longer the fights, the more bored I became. I’d rather see four terrific ten, fifteen minute matches than the dull 45 minute slug-fests that Vince McMahon seemed to love—matches where the same ‘oh he’s pinned him it’s all over—no he’s back on his…

No. What I am saying is that the land was functionally worthless in its era and that they had no way of knowing how valuable oil would be generations after they were all dead, since there was no oil industry an they did not know the oil was there in any case.

You also would have gotten rid of it, because you, unless I…

I always want to take that as our proudest moment, but it’s not actually true. Our *side* burned down the White House, but if memory serves it was British Army regulars shipped over directly from Spain after Wellington wrapped-up the Peninsular war. The Empire got bored with letting America pretend it was a real…

You could enter essentially every building in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim if memory serves, although to what extent you want to count their non-urban-exclusive environments as ‘urban’ is, of course, up for debate.

But then most of GTA V isn’t urban either, and you counted that.

This article has a bizarre tone of “We all know they are monsters now but obviously I will keep watching them because [no reason given].”

“In the context of factoids like this...”

Facts. “In the context of facts like this...”A ‘factoid’ is that which looks like a fact but isn’t one, as an asteroid looks like a star but isn’t one. And even if, as we seemingly must, factoid now is just a stupid synonym for ‘trivia’ or ‘short fact’ (which is how you’re…

As so often happens, the announcement of a name change or a closure is the first time I hear of a product.

3 I’m not worried about.

4, on the other hand...

“Joh Yowza”? What bad CGI Special Edition garbage is this? Who allows that on their screen? Pshaw! And Harumph!

Thank. Christ.

Not to begrudge Elden it’s success or anything, but (as with me) when you can’t play a game and will in no way be financially able to do so any time soon, seeing it spoken of to death everywhere you go just starts to weigh on you. I get it, you’re all off having a stupendous time Eldening Rings or…

The idea that we are still indebted to call Rowling a great worldbuilder in the face of years of really shitty worldbuilding is inexplicable. The Philosopher’s Stone is a sweet little Faerie story that is uncomplicated and pretty well crafted: but it’s not a strong foundation on which to build a series that wants to…

See, that’s so odd to me - not only did I find none of the songs in Encanto memorable, but that’s the one that probably had the least impact on me. I don’t remember a note, and everyone’s going around calling it the next Let It Go.

The only song that did stick with me was the first one, and that’s only because I had to…

Article: “A game that was not well-received on launch but has improved somewhat through updates with more planned for the future.”

Cyberpunk fans: “BIASED HATE-SCREED! UNFAIR!”

Encanto was very pretty movie that made no innovations, pushed no envelopes, tried nothing new, and will not stand the test of time.

This must have been an American phenomenon, or at least one relegated to big cities, because while not a frequent bowler in that period, I bowled at enough alleys over the years that I feel like I would have encountered these: never seen them, so these remakes are doubly-strange to me.
