I was reading a similar article about Christmas traditions around the world and how “weird” they are and was struck by how weird they pretty much all are. The entire holiday is just one big pile of non-sequiturs from Christianity, paganism, capitalism, crazy party ideas, and stupid things parents invented to keep kids…

It’s pretty forgiving for the most part. There’s no sudden turns or falling to your death or having to redo the same little section over and over (unlike Venineth, which it kind of reminds me of).

There are a couple of places where getting to a powerup was a bit tricky but it’s possible there was some other puzzle bit…

Bacon everything was trendy about 8 years ago. I’m glad that’s over — most of them were less than the sum of their parts.

If only there were some cool new technology that would allow multiple images with accompanying text on a single webpage, instead of a slide show!

Big Trouble even says so pretty directly. “You are not brought upon this world to get it!”

I love canned cranberry sauce. I also love homemade cranberry sauce. I’d happily take both if they were on the table.

I’ve been using a similar app called Holey Light for my Galaxy S10e.

Funny to see this here. I just threw away a jar of this exact product today because it’s not just kind of gross, it was utterly ineffective at cleaning my keyboard.

Something in that math is weird. 20% off of two movie tickets saved you $14.80? Wouldn’t that make the tickets $37 each?  I know it’s been a while since I went to the movies, but... dang

Would be fun to really run with that. “The troll stands 5 cubits tall, and is about 20 rods away.”

US aerospace engineers do tend to use “US units” rather than SI / metric. Which is supremely annoying to a lot of people who have to deal with the consequences.

I used to be mad that HTML would automatically convert two spaces to one, and would literally type “.  ” to make sure my second space stayed. Gave up on that one a while ago, but I will still hit the spacebar twice.

I don’t know... I used to pick up breakfast on the way to work and then go to lunch somewhere nearby, every workday. But when we switched to work-from-home instead, I realized I was saving so much freaking money... ever since going back to the office, I’ve just been bringing microwavable frozen dinners for lunch, and…

Some shaving cream works, some not so well.  I use shampoo for my shaving mirror since it works much better.

The original Mad Max movies were not great film, just somewhat weird, often stupid popcorn movies. I don’t have much nostalgia about them, except maybe Tina Turner as Auntie Entity, and Master Blaster and the “two men enter one man leaves” meme thing. Eh.

Fury Road is a different flavor of weird, also often pretty…

Definitely a cost of living thing.

My XBone controller’s RB button died within the first few weeks. Everything else has been fine.

I pretty much only use it for Art of Rally on the PC, so it hasn’t been a big deal. Kind of torn whether to get another XBox controller or something else though.

Before that I had a Steam controller that lasted fine for years.

At first glance I thought “Guile looks more or less right, but that is not Cammy’s face at all.”

I had to look longer to realize Guile was off. Aside from his (always ridiculous anyway) hair looking more like Frybo from Steven Universe.

I’m convinced that the state government (usually very heavily Republican) hates St. Louis because it leans Democratic, and because it’s where most of the Black people live.

It’s not like St Louis and its dozens of little suburban fiefdoms are entirely a progressive paradise, but goddamn it’s still about 80 years ahead…

As long as the frame rate doesn’t drop to something like 10, or stutter obviously, I don’t ever find myself caring about it.

I also run games at 2560 x 1080. My eyesight kind of sucks anyway so it’s not like higher resolution is going to do anything for me other than make performance worse.
