“If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation…”

Maybe it’s just been a while for me but what part was this? I dont remember a section like that off the top of my head.

Tbf i think it’s because he’s at the apex of his jump (like 6in off the ground lol) so the gut kind of shifted up as he came back down. Doesn’t make the image any less absurd, but it came to mind when I didn’t even recognize the dude. I think the same thing is happening to his jowls in the photo. Either way the man-child is ridiculous. And so is the other one.

Encino Man 2: Neolithic Boogaloo

The “Community” tab on a game in your library or the store page, I forget which. It’s usually filled with guides, art, highlights, and a heavy dose of shiposting (often in the form of fake guides). Have not encountered posts OP is referring to, but I don’t really go on there much.

Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They’re small things though, and I’m happy to be supporting artists more.

Fun game. I don’t usually go in for card games, so I ignored the hype, but this is a good one. Got to ante 4 a few times over the last couple of hours before rng killed me. I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth out of this one

I have a similar line of thinking. I’m a musician, so if I was filthy rich I might want to donate money to a school’s music department. If the school is one fiscal entity, I would have to put that as a stipulation to ensure they gave the money to that department, not divert it to something overfunded or just padding the board’s pocket as bonuses for “a job well done”

Same. Is it me or do only like 50% of videos on Lemmy actually play on Boost?

This is outrageous. Where are the bags of garbage that come in to take the socks away? Where are they? This kind of condition is never tolerated in my dresser. You have a hole like that I put you in the trash. Right away. No second chance, no nothing. Socks with holes in the heel, I have a special trash can for holes in the heel. You are ripping: right to the trash. You are having moth holes: right to the trash can, right away. Sock legs too loose: trash. Tight: trash. They get that way where the threads inside tangle up with the toes: you right to the trash. Sock has no padding? Believe it or not, trash. Sock has too much padding, also trash. Not padded, over-padded. Sock was part of a unique set and the other is gone, believe it or not, trash, right away. I have the best sock drawer in the world because of trash.

Arkane and Remedy are the two that stand out at the moment.

Redfall was a pretty bad indicator coming from Arkane. But if they get their act together and go back to games like Dishonored, they’ll be back on the good list. Keeping them up here out of hope. They make fantastic games when they’re allowed to.

Remedy just always puts out bangers. Control is how I found them, and I love their style as well as the obvious amount of love and work put into their universe. Still need to play AW2, but I’ve only heard good things about it. They’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are mine.

“Now cough…”

Man, those guys get more relevant every year

Ugh, dammit Hitchcock put your shirt back on

Fuck you those 3-year-old wounds barely healed

This does have real implications in dendrochronology. If you were to take a beam from a structure built hundreds or even thousands of years ago, you can use ring spacing along with climate records of the area it was cut down in to determine when it was cut down, which will tell you the approximate age of the structure (and as a result, the tree). The rings can reflect events such as floods, fires, droughts, and periods of rapid growth, so if you can match those up with climate records and known samples, it works out the way the graphic describes.

This was exactly my experience with Destiny and Overwatch. Played until burnout doing my daily chores and weekly tasks, barely getting in enough time to do everything plus enough other stuff to make me still feel engaged with the game. Spent a good amount on micros because the FOMO was real and carefully implemented. After burning out on Destiny, I realized I hated the game design and business model because the game design was a business model. Now microtransactions are a glaring red flag for me, instead of a yellow one. I even avoid online multiplayer games because almost all of them use these tactics.

Just not very interesting. Most people just don’t show much interest in me beyond work buddy status, and work is pretty much the entirety of my social life. Down-side of moving to a new area. Making friends as an adult is hard, dating doubly so when there’s no one to introduce you to new people.

But historically the hardest part for me is expressing anything that can’t be back-pedalled into “just meant as a friend, buddy.” The second you cross that line, nothing will ever be the same for better or for worse. I hate committing to that change. Just feels like I’m ruining things irreparably every time. I’ll toe that line all day, crossing is just a bitch.

That movie slaps you in the face at the end in a pretty universally relatable way. No shame in that one.
