There is a giant ball there. And evil apes. And the evil apes are dukin’ it out on the ball. You’re one of them. It’s basically all just evil apes dukin’ it out on a giant ball.

Hmm

I know, that whole thing about Mediterranean diet and Japanese diet could just be based on pension fraud and bad record keeping

I thought it was really interesting actually, not sure why it won

Sounds awesome, I love his writing.

Side note: If it could not involve any helmets like the one pictured which some lights into the eyes of the occupant that would be great! One of my constant irritations when I’m watching sci fi.

What part of this don’t you understand? If two turbines is good, and three turbines is better, obviously five turbines would make us the best fucking wind platform that ever existed. Comprende? We didn’t claw our way to the top of the wind platform game by clinging to the two-turbine industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five turbines is the biggest chance of all.

Because there’s only thing worse than a new world order, and that’s not being at the top of the new world order

Another vote for the Bastion soundtrack by Darren Korb.

Been playing Slice and Dice mainly, simple and fits into everything else that’s going on in life. This week I beat it on hard mode, just the once but that’s more than ever before!

Is that what it means? Ha, I always assumed that was a thickener or something.

This is why I read genre fiction rather than literary fiction. Sure, you and your book club can look down on me but until you’re reading a book that isn’t a variation on a theme of “unsuccessful professional moves back to coastal small town to look after their mother who has dementia”, yous can all get to fuck.

Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it’s private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!

At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group

I’ve been here since the API changes at Reddit and the sub blackouts that followed, and I think it’s becoming more interesting all the time. Back in the early days there was no point in refreshing the /all feed more than once every 4 hours as it just wouldn’t have changed, now it’s much more than that. The number of posts with actual discussions are increasing, and other than a few blocked users, communities and one instance, I like the people I’m sharing space with.

I forgot that clown existed

Trying to tape a song off the radio without getting too much of the DJ’s voice…

I think my 7T is no longer in update territory. Probably time for a change!

For people currently playing, how does it compare to something like Against the Storm or Dwarf Fortress?

I think it’s a fun game, I never get very far but it’s good to play, quick, amusing and you can gather all the bugs up into a bait ball for lots of profit 😁

If it turns out in a few years time that Russia leant on Iran to lean on various Middle East actors to stir up trouble at that exact point to distract from Ukraine, you can colour me unsurprised.
