Haha, I thought that said “until pings work”

“Book of the New Sun” was a fucking fever dream and is widely considered one of the best fantasy books. My friends couldn’t stop talking about it but I just thought it was strange.

“Latro in the Mist” was more accessible to me.

Well I don’t fly because I think it’s fun

I try to chill in my window seat and wait for one of the big gaps to open up, then I flip into the aisle, Scorpion my carry-on (“Get over here!”), and rush past the flight attendants to get stuck behind everybody else still meandering up the jetway.

I hate how right you are. I guess what I’m really looking for is a way to recreate that magic, but an accessible shot of nostalgia every now and then would do just fine. I guess I’ll look into clone hero and see.

Yeah, why the fuck don’t we have a modern interpretation or a spiritual successor? (Please, no remastering.) I assume the answer is money, but I’m still disappointed.

I’ve been playing through Cyberpunk 2077 again and they’re all bad choices.

The final level of Last of Us had me hesitating, too, because the “right” choice felt wrong. Not that you really get to decide, but it was a cool gameplay moment for me.

They get to sit in the special red herring chair

I’m good with lengthy term limits, even, but there needs to be something

How did the progression go? Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire?

My bad, I thought the original comment was about tracking cars, not the cameras.

Ah, gotcha, I thought it was a sincere argument about tracking people’s vehicles.

Most of the time I don’t worry about assassinations because I mostly avoid doing things that make people want to kill me. It’s a decent philosophy that has served me well for decades.

Aggregating location data is very different from having a picture taken in public, wouldn’t you agree?

As a former teenage boy, sometimes it’s really just soap and soap scum and dirt and whatever else caught in the hair rather than anything else.

Also, for anyone caught in a sticky situation, cold water to keep the proteins from denaturing and getting sticky in the first place, and if all else fails use shampoo to try to emulsify it to stick to the water instead of the floor, to make little sewer babies with your neighbors.

First

To be fair, it was a video game aimed at children to teach them how to be good soldiers during a time when the US was entering a deeply unpopular war under false pretenses.

Around the same time there were all sorts of lawsuits surrounding video games and their effects on children, so maybe it was a double whammy.

Regardless of any claims for or against violent video games, the Army shouldn’t be recruiting like that.

Wasn’t it a guy responding to a vehicle accident and he credited America’s Army for teaching him about triaging patients? I think it stuck in my mind for the egregious click-baity headline.

Still do
