In star fox 64, wolf having the repeating line 'you'll be seeing your dad soon, Fox!' He is right if you get the good ending.

Finally considering myself somewhat of a GM after running a few successful sessions!

It belongs in a muesum! conveniently located in one of two English speaking countries!

No, he's never met a nice South African

And that's not bloody surprising, mun!

'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers, who smell like baboons!

at the end of most college modules i end up thinking "damn this is actually fun, i should have paid more attention to this when i had the chance" which is what im currently doing

I can’t believe EU5 wont have linux support. They really forgot their consumerbase.

How do people feel about Constantine? Specifically the 2005 film starring Keanu Reeves, that is. My understanding is that critics at the time didn't like it, but I'm a big fan. I will admit I've never read the comics, nor have I ever watched the Constantine TV show or The Sandman. But on its own merits I think it's a very strong performance from Reeves - or at the very least it's a role well-suited to him - and an underrated gem of his career.

Thank you delivery driver, for dropping my bookcase right in front of me, damaging it in the process, then trying to shove the parts that fell out back in (while I'm telling him not to do that as it will cause further damage), doesn't listen, doesn't even apologize.

The whipped instant coffee i drink smells slightly savory, and is making me crave teriyaki sauce over rice

they were gonna do 5 seasons of Andor but they "realized the time commitment of filming each season" which translated means: Diego Luna didn't wanna work on this shit for much longer

FORMER URUGUAYAN PRESIDENT PEPE MUJICA PASSES AWAY

José “Pepe” Mujica, former president of Uruguay and one of the greatest icons of the Latin American left, died on Tuesday (13) at the age of 89. Battling oesophageal cancer and an autoimmune disease, he was under palliative care and decided to stop treatment in January.

Mujica was a guerrilla fighter, imprisoned for almost 15 years during the dictatorship, seven of them in solitary confinement. After re-democratization, he governed Uruguay between 2010 and 2015, always faithful to a simple style. He donated 90% of his salary, lived on a farm and drove an 82 VW Beetle. Under his leadership, Uruguay advanced progressive policies such as the legalization of abortion and the decriminalization of marijuana. "You need to give meaning to life. Fight for happiness, not just wealth."

Taking a mental health day off work and a new Andor episode comes out. What a coinkydink

I started reading 'the sexual politics of meat' recently and it's good. it's been a while since I read academic writing that wasn't history/socialist lit so it's nice to stretch some other muscles. the concept of the 'absent referent' is really useful, not just in the context of veganism/feminism. it seems right up the alley of the citations needed guys when they talk about how the corporate media covers imperial warmongering and war crimes.

also I really liked this sentence, by far the most grad school thing I've read in years, "Could metaphor itself be the undergarment to the garb of oppression?"

my current victoria 3 game is the timeline where they discovered all the gold in hokkaido immediately, liberals successfully agitated to end serfdom, grain became so expensive I could liberalize and open up on my own before 1860, and then Russia gave a mutual investment agreement which has currently resulted in my pops owning 90 buildings, 10% of the Russian GDP while Russia owns 3 of mine (buildings, not percent)

One big bonus of dog having is you can just like.. say 'dog name!' And they'll come snugfle with you and will generally settle I'm and snooze with ya for a long while. Darby isn't about that. She waits until I fall asleep, nuzzles me awake, won't go away until she get scritches but also doesn't settled Coen upon receiving then and instead rolls around on or next to me. When she does settle in it's for an hour max or until I move so much as an eyebrow and she springboards off me. She's gonna.be 10 in a month and is still super kitten coded. We played for a good 45 minutes after a really rough worknday cause there was no way I'd have peace otherwise. I'm not complaining. She is cool af

Farming... really? a man of your penis?

heard a rumor that the workers at my first job outta college are gonna go on strike, it's a shitass greenwashing recycling nonprofit. good shit, that job expected you to eat so much shit with a culty smile on poverty wages, peak NGO brain. hope my union siblings-in-spirit get the fukin bag.

One of my coworkers was saying I am really nice and she appreciates me. Then she said she told her husband about how nice I treat her at work and all of my danger sensors activated. Cause like, what even conversation is that.

If you were a tiny pixie, would you ride around on a dragonfly like a horse?

Plasma center went pretty good today, thought for sure I'd be there forever but make it pretty early in the morning and there weren't any lines. My blood flowed pretty well and didn't feel any unusual pain so I'm pretty happy. Last time I went it was an 2 almost 3 hours to be pricked, guess with the new plasma clinic and new hours they doing things have speed up. Thought some woke thoughts as my plasma left me so hopefully the persons who get it get my brainworms.

We talked about what we'd all do if we won the lottery at work. A lot of people just want leisure and never to work, a couple wanted to open a Cafe, another person just wanted to paint for the rest of her life. I actually would probably still be doing the same job, it'd be nice to not worry about money anymore though!

Visited my grandma today and accompanied her to a meetup for elderly people organized by the local church, because my grandma was too anxious to go by herself. Since my grandpa died 6 months ago she's been pretty isolated so we convinced her she needed to get out and meet new people. That all went pretty well, the people were super nice, my grandma immediately started chatting with some of the other women there and she seems pretty excited to go again.

But hoo boy, those old ladies were intense about their board games. Like, they were patient with my grandma and helped her out when she didn't know the rules, but they were so fast?? I was 50 years younger than everyone else at the table but I struggled to keep up wtf.

listening to my leftist pals from regrettable century, and they spent a little time whining about how they couldn't find some series on prime, and have to search their attic for dvds, no wonder they show hegelian deviations.

Why do people call themselves "a red blooded ____"

What other colour would your blood be, green?

I don't literally have an experimental dopamine button in my brain but I do have the guitar lick from money for nothing saved in a playlist, so

I hope the Superman movie randomly have real world geopolitics like that time Superman mentions kashmir which got people mad.

I love how the Penguin implies Taiwan has sucessfuly reunited itself into China.

And I got rejected after a final round interview. Why am I unhirable?

@CanYouFeelItMrKrabs@hexbear.net I wanted to respond to your post but the mega closed!

sorry i realize that was a lot of unsolicited advice/experience sharing around a pretty simple post lol, feel free to ignore my dumbass if you want

I’m an old hand at gaming, living among avatars and high scores.

Lately, I’ve spotted invaders, ‘fake gamers’ polluting our sanctuary. They spout gaming lingo without understanding and claim to love games they’ve never played.

It’s maddening, but I’m here to help. Let’s expose these impostors, not to gatekeep, but to protect our passionate community.

Let’s keep it real, folks.

Asking someone to rate their favorite Dark Souls games can determine if they are a fake gamer.

Kingdom Hearts and Paper Mario fans are considered indicators of being a true gamer.

Gamers love wearing unfunny shirts, which are a defining characteristic of gamers.

Strategies to identify and deal with fake gamers include observing their gaming knowledge and skills, engaging in conversations about specific games, paying attention to inconsistencies, and seeking validation from experienced gamers or gaming communities.

I’ve been exploring the concept of ‘Fake Gamers,’ and it’s intriguing to see how they’re identified, from a lack of genuine gaming knowledge to their choice in Dark Souls games. Recognizing signs isn’t always easy, especially when gaming jargon understanding is at play, but there are subtle giveaways. Insincere praises for Dark Souls 2, a game often critiqued by seasoned gamers, can be a red flag.

Identifying imposters is challenging, especially if they’ve armed themselves with a superficial layer of gaming knowledge. They might know the latest games, but probe deeper, and you’ll find a void. Ask about classic titles or complex gaming mechanics, and their answers often betray a lack of depth.

Often, fake gamers seek social validation, using gaming as a status symbol rather than a passion. They’re quick to flaunt their ‘achievements’ but are absent from in-depth discussions about game design or narrative nuances.

True gaming isn’t about exclusivity; it’s about shared passion and camaraderie. Let’s foster a space that welcomes novices and veterans alike, a place where authenticity isn’t questioned but celebrated.

What do they even teach people in business and leadership schools?

Every competent boss or manager I've had were people with education and experience in the field they're working who ended up in a leadership positions through circumstances. Every time I've worked for someone whose passion is "entrepreneurship" or running a company, it's a complete clown show where everyone is in a constant state of confusion.
