I mean, is Mad Jack Churchill made less scary by the existence of Mr Bean, just because they’re both Englishmen?

Chappa’ai!

Fun fact, this song is apparently about the time Nikki Sixx’s heart stopped due to a heroin OD, and he was dead for a few minutes. I believe it took two syringes of adrenaline to the heart to bring him back.

Somewhere in a book of sci fi and fantasy short stories for children, there’s a fourth or fifth grade retelling of Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”, and it was fucking terrifying at that age.

I think they think they’re posting to their instance, adultswim.fan, and asking what connection it has to the old Adult Swim message boards?

I still say it makes slightly more sense in Otherside if he’s saying “the cemetery where I married a thief”.

I’m super confused, but I enjoyed it. Like a 20-minute hand-waved version of Primer.

Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.

Don’t confuse prompting with creating.

I’m confused, because you’re saying that as though you’ve “created something of your own”. You just organized the AI’s shit into a pile you liked. A pile shaped like someone else’s music.

Yes, that’s exactly what you’ve made here. Noise. Useless garbage noise shouted into the void without a speck of artistry.

A potty training child should be more proud of what they’ve produced. Congrats on your big poop, champ!

You’re not a creator

Neither are you. At best you’re a middle manager to a plagiarism machine.

Because it’s bad, it’s bad, slop-on (bad, bad, really, really bad)

You know it’s bad, it’s bad (bad, bad)

You know it (really, really bad)

You know it’s bad, it’s bad (bad, bad)

Slop-on, you know (really, really bad)

And the whole world has to answer right now

Just to tell you once again

Slop’s bad!

The fevered dreams of a madman, for now. But if in some sitcom plot, I ever inherit a pizza place form a long-lost uncle, those will be called the Dave Lister and the Blue Hedgehog respectively (I have to assume Sega is more litigious than the BBC).

Did they hack Steam, or the dev’s computer? Or is this the dev deliberately shoving malware into a cheap asset flip game?

Of course Steam should do more to check what’s being uploaded, but the distinction feels important.

I just started Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, as I make my way through the collection. I’m only about an hour in, but it seems like it might be a nice change of pace from the previous games. I am also getting huge Star Wars vibes off this one. Ven is a padawan, Terra is not yet granted the rank of Master. Eraqus reminds me of Qui-Gon a little, and Xehanort was clearly a Sith-y motherfucker even before what went down with Ansem.

Pizza is one of the best food forms we’ve ever come up with. I don’t even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.

Good-aligned characters within 100 feet of the sign get a +10 bonus to nature checks. Touching the emblem allows the user to summon Smokey the Bear 1/day for 10 rounds. Smokey uses Bardic Inspiration at 10th level to assist the user in fighting forest fires and fire elementals.

Hot take: I think any involuntary expense forced on you by your government is, essentially, a tax regardless of whether it goes into government or corporate coffers, and should be included in the discussion.

Health insurance being the major example, given that’s paid for by taxes in civilized countries. Arguably, the insurance, gas, and maintenance on a car that many of us would happily trade for a functional public transportation system.
