“Oh. I suppose that is you. So, did you want something, or…?”

Me cleaning the house when I should be getting ready for work. The motivation is there, im going to use it dammit

I am the walrus

Oddly enough I have a reverse relationship with this game compared to many others in the thread. I played Dishonored first, and I feel like THAT game spoiled the stealth genre for me. I tried Thief chasing that feeling and was sorely let down. I think if I’d played Thief first like a lot of you guys, I might have that attachment to it. And I know that Thief is likely a large reason why Dishonored exists to begin with, especially with the level design in mind. It just didn’t feel compelling to play, game mechanic wise or story wise. I ended up wanting to just play Dishonored halfway through. I pushed through till the end, it just felt like a worse version of a game i loved. May give the second one a shot, might stick with me more. But the first one left a not-so-pleasant taste

Fuck, I’d settle for a printer that just did its job

!Oh, that creepy dude was in the book as well. Iirc he was her stalker. Not sure if they did the deed, been a while, but that was definitely the premise she used to get him with I think the sickle. His little man did not survive either. I dont think it played out the same in the movie though. I think i remember a crossbow? Or maybe that was chisato, i might be conflating those two since they had their scenes pretty close and i think ended up meeting. That or it happens off screen, not sure.

But yeah that Mitsuko scene was in the book and was brutal af!<

Oh damn, I forgot there was a manga. Didn’t they change a lot in the manga? I have the feeling that was why I didn’t get into it, but it’s been like 15 years since then. It might have just been to expensive for me at the time, even at like $10 an issue

Got the book from my sister when I was young, blew my mind that not only did this exist, they’d made 2 movies by that point (a third came later). Young, edgelord me was in paradise.

Still a good book and movie. Highlighted a lot of still very relevant problems. Did Hunger Games both first and better. Recommend if you like that kind of thing and/or are pissed off at your government like I am

This is it exactly. You essentially need to confirm that the Menu Item you are naming is exactly what is being ordered. Otherwise the company is open to lawsuit from customers who argue bait and switch. Could solve the problem by, idk, using the standard terminology? But using “fun” names sets the brand apart and creates a unique brand image. Which sells. So companies will keep using stupid terms and employees are going to have to keep insisting on them.

As someone who has done these jobs, I guarantee you I dont care what you call the Super Sweet n Saucy Baby Barbecue Brisket Burger, but I am going to make sure you want that because I got screamed at by the last person who refused to say that and actually meant the Big Baby Charbroiled Beef n Bacon Burger

My bad, was meant to be an expansion, not a correction. I have the insufferable need to chime in sometimes and pre-resolve potential ambiguities. It’s something im working on.

Reason I even brought it up is I’m usually nice to npc’s in general, but man. Some people I see in videos or anecdotes from assosciates got me giving them a mad side-eye. 1’s and 0’s or not, the malice and sadism gets ridiculous sometimes. Makes me repeatedly realize how different some people consume the same game as me in ways I never thought of and/or could never bring myself to do.

Anyway, interjection over, that was it

Depends on the game. Depends on the player.

That’s only because you forgot to add your proficiency modifier. Don’t forget to take your own skills and circumstances into account! You have more to contribute than you think!

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.

L-shaped landing going to the right?

Lewis and Clark was a famous exploration duo, and they are referred to simply by those names. This is just poking fun at that in a kind of anti-meme fashion by having them meet women with similarly normal names.

NOTHING LIKE PHYSICAL AFFECTION AFTER A LONG DAY CRANKING THE HOG AROOOOOO

I once rented an apartment that explicitly banned cats over 35lbs. Either the person who wrote it doesn’t know how units/cats work or there is a story there that I really want to hear.

I live in a desert and like having a puddle of oil on the counter even less. Winter months, sure. But 75% of the year it just isn’t an option. I’ve lost entire freshly opened sticks leaving them out for a couple hours after cooking.
