Miles O'Brien

Yeah, but so are 40%, by their own admission.

The majority of people I’ve brought this up with believe MKULTRA is just a Conspiracy theory and never happened, or have never even heard of it.

Like… This is stuff they are ADMITTING TO.

Funny Spock

Oh god please no

Give me socially awkward, trying to be funny but not quite getting it yet Spock.

This movie was my jam back in the day.

I don’t care what critics or even fellow nerds say, it’s fantastic and if they want to fight about it they can meet me on Bob and settle this with heavy plastic swords like Gilgamesh intended.

Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.

I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!

But is it interactive?

Also I’m sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn’t originally smut.

Wow, that’s terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I’m definitely going to avoid and not go check out.

But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.

It must be the author’s first day on the internet.

If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.

It’s definitely because of his work in The Fifth Element.

I mean, the rest of his extensive filmography is nice I guess, but Fifth Element was his Magnum Opus.

Nobody wears tilted hair like Sir Gary Oldman.

I mean, that thing is working so hard it turned the entire surrounding countryside into desert!

To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.

Praise the Great Green Arkleseizure!

Perfection.

Lol. I wasn’t going to be paying full price for a game anyway, but now I’m not paying for gearbox games ever again.

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

water soluble powder

Oh god I’m having flashbacks… That shit is nasty.

Lmao no I grew up in the 90s, and we only got cheap secondhand n64 games. The apartments I grew up in were in the middle of trailer parks, but they all owned the land their trailers were on so I’ll leave it up to the reader to determine who was more bougie.

My dad was the one who wanted the consoles and he isn’t tech savvy, so until I got my own money, it was always “plug and play” things, none of those new-fangled computers until Windows ME.

And hilariously, I got an old macintosh in the mid 2000s and had fun figuring everything out by trial and error based off what I knew of computers at the time. Even had the x wing game on several floppies.

I would have loved having a computer when you had to actually know how it works to use it.

I remember waiting for next month’s issue of different gaming magazines… I never bothered knowing which magazine it was, I just waited for my dad to return from the store with whichever one he wanted that day.

Honestly I miss in-depth game guides with the two pages of ASCII art at the top.

Younger me would have been blown away that reading would help me beat games in the future.

For the record, I have a small library now but when I first started playing NES-N64 games, I absolutely hated reading and never would have cracked open the manuals.

Found this out completely by accident once after my sister and I played some Mario.

I had the 2nd controller still plugged in, and while shooting the ducks I stepped on the controller and the ducks moved differently.

From the on, every time someone wanted to play duck hunt I would grab a second controller and make it harder for them.

Bonus knowledge: the original game works by a light-sensitive sensor in the blaster tip, and when you pull the trigger, the screen goes black and a white square appears whee the ducks were, in a specific order. If the game controller detects the light square, it counts as a “hit” on whatever duck was in frame. You can cheat by pointing the blaster at a white light and pulling the trigger. It will just go through them one by one as you squeeze, thinking the light is the duck square.

birth bath

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…
