“This does not happen with Troi or Wesley.”

Oh, that’s easy. Steve1989MREInfo. Let’s get this out onto a tray. Nice!

Every time someone says “I’m building up a tolerance”, my response is the same:

Which one? I mentioned two.

Last fall, I went through my Steam library, down below the 1,000-hour games and the 100-hour games and even the 30-hour games, down to the “played once and put down” level, and decided I was going to devote the next stretch of gaming time to raising one or two of those games up the ranks a little.

“Hey, my wife’s a real sweetheart, got a submissive streak, but man, that’s just unfair.

I have a bunch of games in my 20-30 hour block on Steam that stand as testament to the need to just let a backlog game go if you’re not enjoying it. Knights of the Old Republic (30.4 hours), Witcher 3 (27.7), Civilization VI (26.4 before I gave up on it and went back to Civ 5), Fallout 1 (21.3)...they stand as about…

I finally gave up on Witcher 3 after three attempts and *checks Steam* 27.7 hours. It is forever doomed to history as the game other games pass on their way up the hour rankings (next tournament I play in PGA Tour 2K21 will knock Witcher 3 down another place on the list.)

The FLUDD of potential bad publicity has been a real Odyssey for Nintendo, but they should take a step back, take in a Breath of the Wild news, and realize they might want to stay Koopa’d up in their office or at home until it’s actually safe to Switch their policy. Wii will be ready when they do.

I stopped playing the bundle game when I realized that’s a great way to acquire a bunch of games I’ll never play, and who needs the clutter?

Drew Barrymore is about two years older than I am.

The Democratic Party has an astonishing track record of finding the least charismatic person they can drag out of a policy meeting and trying, like a failed wrestling promotion, to get them over with the public.

The marketing tie-in with the NBA is easy money.

“cheese and bacon is not a replacement for flavour.”

“ you know we’ll be on it to see if it’s any good.”

It’s a double-edged sword. Sometimes using a bunch of relative unknowns gets you something like Disco Elysium or the original cast of Saturday Night Live.

“which explains why the school’s history teacher needed a video from the white-nationalist-adjacent Prager U to instruct its students on the problems of Black America.”

(edit after window): This is why I probably shouldn’t post when I’m tired and pissed off. Replies took me out behind the woodshed and rightly so. Sorry about that, I’ll try to do better next time.

I refer to the entirety of pop culture and sports between 1998 and 2007 as the Dark Ages. Nu metal, NBA basketball that was so bad as to be unwatchable (2002. Eastern Conference semis. Game 3. Boston 66, Detroit 64. Nuff said), baseball reckoning with the ‘roids, hockey nearly committing suicide in 2004, absolutely…

I like Wendy’s, but they dropped completely out of my rotation during the pandemic because the one nearest me is staffed by such complete, bafflingly incompetent workers that any similarity between what you order for Doordash, or from the drive-thru, or at the counter in the actual restaurant, and what you receive is…
