A roommate bought a bunch of bananas once. Hungry for some sweet sweet potassium, I took one off to eat when I noticed this blob of web in between two of the others on the bunch. I (naturally) poked at it with a finger, and suddenly this yellow-orange and brown spider appeared and went dashing out of the bananas and…

Majora’s mask still has one of the all-time best game bathrooms. It was really ahead of its time.

I think the upvote/downvote system is a large part of why things get so toxic there so fast. Dissenting opinions can be squelched very quickly (it only takes a few downvotes to fall out of view of anyone that uses the default view settings) and large numbers of upvotes are often interpenetrated as proof of validity.

Because it is delicious

It is almost as if.... Valve is not a good consumer friendly company at all.

It would cause problems, if this particular voting block believed that there was any other true religion besides their own.

It depends on the game. Super Metroid for instance is a lot more entertaning on an any% run than a 100% (for me anyway). In that game’s case at least, the people running for minimum time/% face a really stiff challenge because they have the minimal number of E Tanks and missiles needed to win. Boss battles are tense,…

Being in 1st place is actually one of the safest spots to be (second only to last place) and keeping ahead of the pack once you are already up there, is actually quite easy. The real bloodbath is about 5th through 2nd places, where there is a pile of racers, all shooting at each other.

Pretty sure he has already done that.

I was cleaning a bird bath last year, and when I lifted the bowl off the stand in order to hose it out, underneath I saw about a million earwigs writhing around in a great disgusting pile inside the stand. That is as good a metaphor as any for bigotry in the US. It’s been there all along, but now the lid is removed…

Trump was certainly an orange genie in the diet coke bottle that we cannot put back, but bigoted sentiments have been coalescing for years now. What Trump has done, is shown that the Republican veneer of civility is unnecessary to win elections.

“whatever you do don’t get out of the car! This underbrush, it is... ALIVE!!”

The advice here is “this stuff has no nutritional merit whatsoever. Consume it in the same way you would consume other similar worthless foods like candy bars and french fries”
