Ole to Lena: “I was thinking on my feet today.”
Lena asks, “Why, were you too lazy to sit down?”

My DNA is a sexually transmitted disease

Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I’d accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it’s true, and that’s why I’m asking questions.

Is that how those work? I’ve been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I’d probably like it.

One of my favorite series, Phantasy Star, moved from a turn-based RPG in the 80s to an action RPG since 20 years ago (PSO, PSO2). What if I don’t want to play an action game? I don’t get what happened to the old style of RPG.

The video length was pretty limiting, though. Instagram at the time started doing 15 second videos. The six seconds lent itself to goofy comedy and not much more.

It seems like they should have sold it. Or just jammed in a bunch of ads… maybe an option to remove ads with a paid membership. Simply killing it doesn’t make any money other than to avoid losing more, and they’d already invested a fair bit which you can’t recoup by just closing something. Of course, Google does that all the time I guess.

Twitter clearly mishandled it. All they needed to do was give the option to post longer videos. Classic example of a large company buying a small innovative service and destroying it for no reason. I assume they thought it was too similar and in competition with Twit’s existing ability to post videos.

Does it have better features or interface for it than kbin? I’ve tried using microblogs on kbin but I find it sorta confusing.

There’s an $18 minimum wage in Denver, for instance. Republicans sure as hell didn’t vote for that.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

The Tootsie Roll owl is older than that… it dates back to 1968

A terminal is a physical device like a VT100. When people refer to a terminal today it’s almost always a terminal emulator running on a TTY, ssh on a PTY, a login shell or a GUI program.

Their IPO was postponed due to the fallout from their PR and community failure. Splez is surely disappointed that this delayed his dream of living on an island with slaves.

At least they didn’t just give you a stupid moose that says “something went wrong”

My dad went to the ER yesterday because he was constipated for like a day and a half. We suggested you know, drinking water, eating some soup, chilling out… Wouldn’t listen to us and got angry “you don’t know what I’m feeling!!”. Then got there… and had diarrhea so they gave him advice about that. Some people really have no ability to judge or treat their own minor health problems. I guess it’s better than ignoring it.

A bit of a self aware wolves moment as Scott Adams frequently says ridiculous, smug, inflammatory and poorly researched things on the internet.

There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.

Sometimes they even just repost something they found on the internet

Yeah, where I used to live up north, even very remote lakes were poisoned with mercury said to be from coal burning in China. People were advised to not eat fish from the lake more than a few times a week or once a week for certain fish. So… tons of people just ignore that or don’t even know about it because they either don’t really understand or believe it, have poor information sources, enjoy the experience, or it’s all they can afford.

I know a fair amount of girls from Minnesota and Oregon who would like that because they’re into fishing themselves. They grew up fishing with their fathers.
