We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.

Same. Gotta step up my game. Fuck tesseract. I’ve seen what they want and I don’t want it to include me

Some people also use Ø as zero to differentiate from O’s. Less common these days, but would still cause some confusion I bet.

Im a US American, how much time do you have? There is almost no aspect of my culture I wouldn’t trade for another. Music I’ll keep but everything else… meh

A Hind D?

Pretty standard, really

Ngl when I first saw the image I thought it was a Dr Disrespect and Saddam Hussein mashup

Idk, to me it’s like veggie bacon. Stop spending so much time trying to make plants taste like meat when you can just… make the plants taste good. I’d rather be shown the advantages and explore the reason for a switch than have it try to be what I wanted to avoid in the first place. Maybe this is just a natural in-between step towards more universal adoption, it just kind of feels like the first step towards enshittification. Maybe I’m just jaded and cynical at this point, I’d just rather have something that is proudly itself rather than something trying to shamefully hide what makes it unique

I saw that post and it made me start thinking about why I have no interest in it, and a few days later here we are. Honestly, the last 3 panels live rent-free in my head

This kinda blew up. For the record, there are probably decent use cases. I’m just befuddled by its popularity. The best I’ve seen is PC games on a TV more easily than moving an entire setup. But the form factor removes a lot of the upgradeability and repairablity that makes PCs so great, it has standard hardware like a console but still traps you in a (admittedly slightly better) ecosystem, it has Linux but masks it so well most people won’t notice or care. If it pushes gaming to a more linux-friendly place, great, but it feels like it’s packaging it to the point that it won’t push the player-base, only devs. It feels like it packages almost all of the limitations of the 3 groups with very few of the best benefits. Truly do hope I’m wrong, I often am.

Also had really nice animation quality, plus it has a few… variations near the end. Skipping the intro on this one is a massive disservice, agreed

When I was in college, it was very clear to me who wanted to or actually felt a need to be there and the people who were there because they were expected to. The people who didn’t really want to be there simply went through the motions, did the bare minimum for whatever situation they were in, and immediately fucked off because they did what they showed up to do. Their goal wasnt to be there, ot was to get through being there so they could do what they actually wanted to. The people who were actually invested in being there put in the effort and did extra stuff to ensure their success. They formed study groups, watched some YouTube videos on fuzzy topics, talked to each other about the material, went over sample tests, etc. Their time after class wasn’t the left-overs they had from their time at school, it was a resource to use to make their time at school better. Because school itself was actually their focus.

When I see statements like “Give it your all,” that’s where my mind goes. It tells me to not just go through the motions and expect true success at the other side. That shit takes work and dedication of time and energy. Not necessarily all of it to the point that you’re damaging your health, but that is often where it ends up. And it’s hard not to end up there if you compare yourself to others and feel a need to keep up to unrealistic standards.

In short, to me it means to actually apply your time and effort into it. Be invested in how well you do and what you can learn.

Back in the flash game days, big games had their own mini loading screen games since they could take a few minutes to load the main game. One of them on Miniclip or Newgrounds was just driving a school bus at noght down a road that turned with very limited visibility. The bus got faster until you crashed. No real objective, just a keep-your-mind-occupied thing like the Chrome t-rex. I always really enjoyed that game, no idea why.

I tried looking for it after a few years had gone past just because i thought it would be fun, no dice. A year or two later, that era in internet gaming came up in conversation and j checked again, but nothing. I checked for it every time I thought about flash games and had a few minutes, but never found it over the years. Then they shut down Flash.

Never found one screenshot on Google, one blog post, one game comment or anything that reaffirmed my knowledge in its existence. But I know it was there.

Malt-o-Meal was actually the cheap bag brand when I was coming up. Never seen these in boxes, but their versions of cereals slap

• Wedges
• Curly
• Zigzag
• Shoestring
• Waffle
• Tots
• Sweet Potato (not a potato but closer than an onion)
• Onion Rings (not a potato, would be 3 otherwise)

I remember finding it funny and endearing when I first watched it. And then it just… never… stopped…

What… what do you think the blue part of blue cheese is?
