It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So… Life.

Sweet!

I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

I loved the Broadway musical, though I never got to see it in person.

Personally I don’t see what the big deal is with the poster. Yeah, it wasn’t the same as the original. It seemed fine to me. And yeah, they changed it to match. Also seemed fine to me.

And guess what? The woman being upset that they changed it? Seems fine to me. If my face were essentially Mike Wazowski’d off the cover of something, I’d be a little upset. Maybe not enough to make a public stir, but I’d privately bitch to people for quite some time.

I can definitely see some people considering it a PR nightmare, and do know some people who were pissed about the poster… But I just don’t get the same feelings. It’s just meh.

I’m sure plenty would say I’m just not an artist/into musical theater/whatever. Maybe that’s true.

Now let’s have this same conversation if they ever redo Fiddler On The Roof (1971), I’ll probably have much stronger opinions since I was in that one multiple times…

As a teenager I straight up called my dad a fucking idiot to his face for saying “Some scientists somewhere are getting rich off global warming hoaxes” and was rather unprepared to explain his (lack of) thought process when I asked “how?”

To paraphrase, “Someone somewhere is making money off of it or the news wouldn’t be talking about it”, the news being Fox and all they were doing is saying how fake it is, not that it’s real.

“If you really believe that, then you’re a fucking idiot.”

Surprisingly, my mother never heard of this conversation and he never brought it up after that.

And around 2010 I stopped hearing him say anything negative about climate change.

Now he’s starting to realize how little snow his childhood town gets compared to back when him and his brothers could go driving onto a lake in the 70s. Idk if he actually believes it’s real yet, but he hasn’t denied it when others talk about it in many years.

And even if you DO post in small communities, half the time it’s a toss-up as to whether anyone will see it.

I’m not sure about lemmy, but reddit was roughly 50% US users, so it was a good bet that if you timed posts for “early morning” US browsing or “after work” EU browsing, your post would do well.

Idk lemmy’s demographic breakdown, but it seems more generalized (imagine that, a diverse fediverse!) around the world, so it’s hard for me to tell when the most users will be active.

You can get the same ksp2 experience with ksp1 and the seemingly infinite amount of mods available.

Want more realistic everything? Mods for that.

Want to make a jumbo jet that can also travel to Ike?there’s Mods for that.

Want everything to be reskinned to look different? You better BELIEVE there’s mods for that.

And the best part is if you own ksp1 (or at least if you have it on your computer to play, wink wink) it’s free! No need to pay for a full game that’s just been modified slightly, now you just slightly modify it yourself. (or mod it so heavily that startup takes 20 minutes and if you don’t use the part search function you’ll be scrolling for hours)

I know SSDs need to be powered on occasionally due to how they store data, which is why (also due to cost lol) I have most of my stuff on HDDs, though I know those can have issues if you leave them out unprotected.

Not much more I can do without spending a lot more money than I have already. But so far I’ve never needed to get my second backup.

Which reminds me I need to re-backup the second drive…

The username is some of the worst bait I’ve seen lmao

I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won’t ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn’t work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it’s been recieved.

I only buy games on steam when they’re like $5 or less.

I have less than $200 spent in total over the last 16/17 years on steam, and I don’t see myself breaking the $5 limit.

I even pay GOG non sale prices if a steam sale jogs my memory of a game I want.

Sailing the high seas isn’t feasible right now since I don’t control the internet here and I’m not going to risk me not knowing something and landing the owner with potential legal trouble. But I will hopefully be dusting my hat off soon.

I need to get a couple more external drives and make at least one Faraday cage to keep one in.

All my installers are on a 1tb hdd that sits in my dresser. Made it a lot easier to put my games on my new laptop since they were installed before I even got to hooking it up to the internet.

I can almost hear the record scratch as he says “But we don’t do that…”

The opening scene of episode 1 hooked me.

And every reference for the next twenty minutes made sure I stayed.

The first time I interacted with water and it did something in response instead of being static blew my mind.

Seeing my own reflection in a game hurt my brain.

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

It’s practically a British rite of passage.

Can you really say you’ve had the proper UK experience if you haven’t been stabbed? I myself was stabbed 17 times on my last outing to Brighton.

Guaranteed knockout, first time every time.

It works quite well against the cardies.

You’re actually the first one to ever comment on the punctuation change. I’ve been waiting for this day for years.

So uh… 👉😎👉 Zoop

1: holy shit that title is a… It’s something, alright.

B- if you spend extra money on top of normal costs on a game that’s still not even released, you get what you fucking deserve.
