That’s funny, I really need to redo my ceilings. I’m incredibly lazy, however, so my current plan is just to take down the crown molding and picture rails, nail up some art deco tin ceiling tiles and put the rails and molding back up over the top of it, bam, done. The prep and cleanup from scraping that popcorn shit…
To be fair, tanked-up ships aren’t entirely without precedent:
Nothing to forgive; coincidentally, I literally just cited him last week in the same breath as Trotsky and Che when my stupid brother was braying that my owning a single AR (it’s a fucking Grendel, not a 5.56, it’s totally and completely legit for deer hunting) meant I was becoming a rightist. If you take reprisal…
They’re finally opening a store in my town later this year or early next (they just wrapped up their city and county tax break deals a few days ago), and based on what I saw from when I lived Olympia, I expect I’ll make up the membership fee on rotisserie chicken and gasoline alone within the first 2-3 weeks.
Amen; 44 and have never once owned an automatic, and expect I never will:
That’s funny, because the lion’s share of the best single-player games of this past generation were first- or second-party Sony exclusives, e.g. Bloodborne, God of War, Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, Last of Us Part II, Persona 5, blah blah blah, not even counting stuff like the two Uncharted titles,…
In short, yes.
This shit goes back millennia. They’re largely retrograde pastoralists who are still lamenting the loss of their lifestyle (chiefly centered on a brutal, pre-Iron Age organization of life and society into clannish units following a single “big man”). Read, e.g., basically anything Cato the Elder (a despicable cunt who…
Nioh 2. I’ve entered the stretch run now and will probably “complete” it tonight, but it’s awesome so I’ll plat it, and there’s a lot of work to be done in terms of wrapping up collectibles and the various mystic arts. Probably the single most evocative game I’ve played since the 2008 Prince of Persia, and a testament…
I use audiobooks for that. Will Durant’s The Story of Civilization alone is about 480 hours, enough to drive the USA from coast-to-coast ten times over. :-)
I bought an integrated amp/pre-amp back in 1996 which I still have, and which has served as the heart of my main workhorse stereo ever since. It has never had a tuner attached to it at any point in its life (although the input labeled “tuner” has been useful for things like MiniDisc decks and the streaming device…
Sweet, reading another wall of posts from all my rowdy crypto-fascist Jalopnik friends has me primed and ready to go enjoy some more of that sweet, sweet regressive thought, such as it is. I’m off to consume today’s ProFootballTalk comments and then a little Cato the Elder to wash it all down. Enjoy your weekend…
WOW, great catch. And yes, they should; 3 was by far the most compelling FC to date, and I could see 6 being at least as good if they leverage Esposito properly. I find Ubisoft’s cookie-cutter design philosophy pretty repellent, generally, but this is some awesome casting and enough to keep me interested despite being…
I take it you haven't visited the comments section there in at least a couple of weeks, it's absolutely been flooded with "they were illegally arresting him", "he was accelerating OUT of the crowd, not into it" and a bunch of similar horseshit, much of it with triple-digit likes, so, yeah, not grays.
I felt a great disturbance in the collective GM site readership, as if millions of crypto-fascist Jalopnik readers suddenly cried out in terror, and were silenced.
Well, in keeping with the theme of the site, let’s hope they all get high-centered on a rock like their fellow morons at that mall in Omaha instead.
Domino’s is our best hope for potholes.
How is a project that 100 people spent five hours on being valued at only $400? You can’t even get a two-man crew from any trade to show up to any job for less than twice that.
Eh, it’s just luck. I’m 44, of exclusively northern Euro extraction (Danish/Swedish/Finnish/German) and have a thicker pelt than a sasquatch (to the point where, e.g., the VP of HR at my current job has repeatedly remarked on my hair and actually once ran her hand through it, completely unbidden, as I was sitting in…
