Without the goofy stuff I think Cody would end up ranting like Lewis Black

Pretty sure that’s the only reason he left. He would’ve been literally dragged out of there, and facing up to a hard reality of an embarrassing moment for him was the only thing that registered in his pea brain so he had to avoid it.

the preponderance of phoney Trump depictions — Trump as Rocky Balboa, Trump riding a dinosaur, Trump as an NFL player. Nobody has ever done that with Barack Obama. They love Obama just as he is. Trump supporters meanwhile must create bullshit versions of their cartoon messiah.

Everything about him is a lie, down to his very existence. Really drives home the point that thin air would be a better president (or perhaps Clint Eastwood’s empty chair).

Also, kudos on describing the recent orange makeup as giving the appearance of surviving a “booby-trapped papaya”. Great article.

My last run I did with a shaman and put everything I could into lightning damage. It needed a 2 handed weapon so I basically just wandered up to bosses and thumped on them until they died in showers of sparks, while the AoE from the lightning arcs killed everything else around me. Plus I had a summon or two to redirect some enemy attention.

Japan putting ketchup on spaghetti: “Hold my sake.”

You mean Rafael, who doesn’t think we should use people’s preferred names or pronouns?

I gave up on endless anime after I binged 200 episodes of Naruto 20 years ago. I maintain that it’s virtually impossible to sustain an interesting storyline over hundreds of chapters, and it either just becomes very silly or they end up basically recycling plot points.

Whether there’s an s after the apostrophe depends on style guide. Most do recommend using the s, though.

I thought IQ testing itself was scientifically dubious

I wasn’t paying attention back then so much-- what was Nader offering as a green that gore wasn’t? Didn’t gore make environmental policies part of his campaign? He just didn’t go far enough or something?

Plus if standard time becomes normal year round sunrise in places like NYC would be 4:30 (with first light at 3 AM). Bonkers early

It’s really not surprising. To be an evangelical you have to consistently deny reality, so a man who embodies everything opposite of purported christian values becoming the messiah figure isn’t unusual for the ethos. I don’t understand how they all live with cognitive dissonance every day but apparently they make it work.

Whaa?

Me too bud, me too

And Otherworld

I played Doom before Goldeneye but I was still able to get into it at the time. Going back to it again in recent years I found the controls were like muscle memory. They’re still not great but it worked well enough back in the day.

Stick to working on VR legs Zuck

I wish the Hexen weapons felt more satisfying. They just pale in comparison to the Doom arsenal, with the meaty crown jewel being the double shotgun

Can’t even close a fucking umbrella.

Maybe it’s the hollow corpses of their respective children
