Holy crap, this map is awesome. They have the grills, picnic tables, even all the ski lifts on the ski hill.

Don’t care if the graphics look like they came from the 90s. I love the details

I never made the rules. No swearing in school was always the rule.

Seems absolutely nutty to ban “love that for you” but apparently fuck is fine? No swearing is not up there.

Spent my whole High School career being passive aggressive, because swearing was the bridge too far.

If you can’t even be passive aggressive you may as well never leave your front door.

It’s such a bizarre list too.

They’re not cusses. What’s wrong with “love that for you”? I could’ve easily seen myself saying that in 2009, is the meaning vastly different than what I think?

Cheating is definitely in the minority of my social circle. I know of 2 amongst 100. At least people who were shameless enough to be admitting it.

That said, I do have maybe 5 open relationships in my friend group? I don’t usually ask, so maybe 10 total. My wife and I are monogamous. If you’re not, whatever, you do you. It isn’t a religious thing, it’s just how we roll.

But good lord at least talk about it, agree on it and stick with it. If you don’t then you’re a dick.

So… is there any relation to the Marathon that came out in 1994 by Bungie?

Because… the art style genuinely looks awesome but I don’t see anything that reminds me of the original. Not in enemies, or gameplay, or plot, it also seems entirely online multi-player, I see no rogue AI.

Honestly I would be intrigued by the art style alone but… the shameless name grab makes me think it’s gonna flop.

So what is the point of an email client? I’ve only ever really used web pages because it did everything I need.

There’s two types of costume contests, cosplay contests that break things down by experience, and random Halloween contests that are basically reenactments of popularity contests in high school.

The former you’re gonna enter as a journeyman unless you built something so outrageous they gotta up the difficulty level. Make sure you have a TON of documentation and pics and explanations on how you did things. The judges are gonna wanna know how hard you worked on things and the amount of detail you put into it. If you spent 8 hours on the gold colored filigree on your bracers you damn well better mention it Typically unless you’re doing best performance, you get three poses and you’re off the stage. By the time you hit the stage the judges typically made their decisions so play to the crowd and do what looks good on film. If you are going for best performance, don’t feel pressured to use your full five minutes, or however long they give. Waaay to many people overstay their welcome, you wanna leave the people wanting more, not less. Hit your points, your high note, and if you’re still only halfway through your time, whatever. You’re not disqualified if you don’t use your time completely, and people will greatly appreciate someone moving the schedule faster than usual.

For the latter Halloween costume contests, effort means NOTHING. You could’ve thrown the damn thing together in five minutes and win, and if you spend 16 hours on it it will not improve your chances. The venue is looking for costumes that look great on the social media, is a character they love, makes them laugh, blows their mind, causes the venue to cheer, and (this is the most important bit) appears in front of whoever the hell is judging the competition. It’s 1 to 3 people who pick on the previously mentioned criteria. Each judge is gonna be a little different. Some judges listen to the crowd, some judges love horror films so every slasher villain goes on stage, some judges do NOT know what the hell a star wars is. The one thing that all judges have in common though, is that they exist in a 3 dimensional space and only have eyes in front of their head. If you’re a wall flower that doesn’t interact with people, you will not win the contest unless the judge is also sharing your wall. Build a dance circle, tip the bartender to figure out who’s judging tonight (they may or may not know) but if you wanna win, physics dictates that you appear in front of a judge as they wander the venue. That is more important than your costume.

Same reason why people stick with wells Fargo even if they can move to a credit union. It takes effort, changes to habit, and risk just to gain… what you already have.

Same here, Manga and lemmy. I’ve been slowly trying to add discord to the rotation but I find it taxing. It’s so hard to keep track of which friend group is which and I can’t label servers with my own label

See, I don’t think water is the way to do it. I think you do it with a massive lead pole with teeth to lock into a gear.

Fully contained, no spillage

Oh, see I was thinking a portal on the ISS, but absolutely you could place one against the other, plop in a MASSIVE pole with teeth to match a gear, and just constantly generate power.

Like seriously, if there was ever a time to do a concerted push for linux, it’s now. Start the campaigns, start the tutorials start the memes and the warnings and get the process down to under an hour. It won’t be a weird thing, it will be the lord and savior allowing your PC to continue even when windows says it can’t.
