I always suspected as much.

Exactly my thoughts. At either end of the service transaction (customer or employee), it is still just that: a transaction. We’re not friends or acquaintances; this is just an transient interaction necessary to get your order filled. If you’re a server or bartender, you’ll probably need to put in some emotional…

Shit. Sorry.  I had no idea the quote would format that way.  Kinja!

In the comics, Waller actually has a hell of a tragic backstory (from DC Database):

I’m honestly looking forward to Nope more than nearly anything else on this list. Peele only gets better and bolder with each subsequent film.

Yes. I can see a lot of the same narrative/gameplay techniques at play in both. I think it’s a two-person team.

Honestly, I was just being cute there...or I just didn’t want to bore people with my full history with/reckoning with faith and religion. I contain multitudes or whatever—pinning these things down is often too complicated for a single label—and at least one of those multitudes is that little shit hard-A atheist…

I would say my premise is more broad and unfocused than broken, but that’s my fault for composing something in the middle of the night (because I couldn’t sleep for fixating on it). It seems like it was, at least in its very early stages, a well-intentioned attempt at constructing a new religion from a mix of occult…

I guess I’ll be the one to kick this hornet’s nest...

virtually no SEO sway to speak of

That is my suspicion, too. I never really watched the show much, because...who cares?!? I didn’t care when its precursor, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, did much the same thing. It is gratuitous, conspicuous consumption with no point other than retelling the same damn story about American exceptionalism.

*sigh* There are still a handful of reasons to show up to this site*, but every one of these departures remind of how much has been lost. Sure, there are still great writers in AVC’s employ (although I assume fewer and fewer are regular staff writers), but the editorial mandate seems to favor smaller, quick-hit,…

Confirmed:  Tablet works pretty good.  It took me a while to realize that some of the cards/resources might manifest under the frame, but it’s pretty easy to move stuff around or manipulate the scale/location of the frame.  Its narrative style certainly tracks with what I remember from playing Fallen London back in…

Huh.  CS is one of those games that has been on my radar for some time, but I’ve never committed any time to.  I picked up the mobile version some time ago, tried it out on my smartphone, decided it was a pain to play on a small screen, and forgot about it.  But what if...I tried playing it on my tablet (or...ya know,…

Part 2 of my “asking stupid questions about screenshots” series:  So is the Phoenix Wright” now a cyberpunk dystopia or is this guy just a very devoted Geordi LaForge fan?

How is it possible I never knew about this until this very moment? And...(opens another tab)...it is not blocked by my workplace’s firewall! Christmas came early this year!

Yee-haw! There’s IP in them there comics, I tell ya! IP for years! Why, a fellar could wander in there with jast a simple pitch and their trusty corporate mule...and wander out rich, rich with IP!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial

This advice is all over the internet, but it bears repeating: If something is too tough and you can’t figure out a strategy to get past it, just explore a bit more and see what’s out there. You would be surprised by how much stuff you can miss! Some of the best tools in your Tarnished’s utility-belt aren’t available…
