Houston native spotted. I’m so sorry.
But this behaviour isn’t really new - I used to work at the Whole Foods on Kirby, which caught fire back in… god, 2012 or so? And someone drove up WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL BLAZING, was informed that the store was closed, and legitimately responded, “But where am I gonna get my coconut water?”
They may be more mask-off about it now, but it’s always been a thing.
People aren’t using Boatlights-tan for desu memes anymore? I really have gotten old.
Grab 'em by the headlines. When you’re famous, they let you do it.
Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!
Daisy for Kart. Daisy for Smash.
Hi, I’m Daisy.
(Jokes aside, probably the closest thing I have to a main in Smash is Hero)
To be fair,
How else would you portray Lust if not hyper-sexualized?
+1 for FMA: Brotherhood though, that shit slaps and given the above commenter’s statement I also think they’d like it
Deflection via humor would be my guess
Fair enough. I think it’s safe to say that my reply was a little heated. You are, of course, correct. I will edit my comment.
I had to look that up, but you are correct. He said it while out promoting 2049. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Of course they are! I never disagreed with that. They are “more human than human”. That’s not even a counter argument to what I said, which is “this one specific human, who has basically forgotten how to BE human, rediscovers the joy of humanity through his interactions with non-humans who are ironically more human than he is”.
DECKARD👏 IS👏 NOT👏A👏 REPLICANT👏
I will bang this gong 'til the day I die.
The whole point of the movie, besides the cyberpunk dystopia that it created and popularized, is that Deckard is a HUMAN who acts like a ROBOT. He has no joy, no purpose, no meaning. And he rediscovers all of that, ironically, from his interactions with replicants - Roy Batty and Rachael most of all. It’s the Sarah Connor, end of Terminator 2 thought that “if a machine - a Terminator - can learn the meaning of life, perhaps there’s hope for the rest of us.”
And that DOESN’T FUCKING WORK if Deckard is a replicant. Philip K Dick, Harrison Ford, EVERYONE on the production EXCEPT Ridley Scott either knew this or figured it out. But because Mr. Auteur decided to share his braindead take and even cut a scene from a whole-ass other movie into Blade Runner to make you think MAYBE the robot-killer cop is himself a robot because “whoa man how mind-blowing”, now we have to get people saying that’s how it is for the rest of humanity.
There was ZERO ambiguity about this until Scott decided to put it there. Deckard is not a replicant. END OF.
Did you know that the only part of yourself you can kiss in the mirror is your lips?
Don’t ask me how I know.
Ooh, I’m torn. They’re both NES “games” - Rocky & Bullwinkle had sluggish controls, awful hitboxes, and I can only describe its graphics AND sound design as offensive. That said, at least it technically played like a game. Where’s Waldo didn’t even have that. I think Where’s Waldo is the worst, but it’s close.
Glad someone else said it. Conflicting opinions about Linus aside, dude makes stuff he’d want to wear/use and it shows in the quality.
I mean, if we’re talking release order, then Return of the Jedi did get a sequel! It was called The Phantom Menace and ahh
Ahahaha hahahahahahahaha. I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I almost made it through with a straight face.
The “AI” garbage on the horizon finally did it for me. I’ve been using Windows for 30-some-odd years (and DOS before that) and it always had a quirk or two but it mostly just worked, and that was enough for me. Hell, I even jumped on Win 11 when it was still in Insider Preview, just because I wanted the latest. And despite everyone always complaining about 11, for the most part, it did for me as Windows has always done - it just worked, so if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Not that I hated Linux, I just always seemed to have an excuse. “Oh, the last time I tried to install it I was stuck at a CLI” sure, almost 20 years ago. “Well, I’m a huge gamer and Linux just doesn’t have the support”, “Man, KDE Plasma on the Steam Deck runs great and looks a lot like a fresh Windows install… ahhh, it’d be such a pain to migrate though.”
Anyway, I set up Arch on a “dual boot” partition a couple weeks ago I say “dual boot” because I haven’t booted into Windows in a week. Feels good, man. I should have done it sooner.
I will say though, if any other potential Windows refugees are reading… Migrate your Steam library to an ext4/btrfs/other Linux partition. You can successfully mount your Windows NTFS partitions. You might even be able to get them to mount as read/write. You might even be able to get Steam to read the directories! But it’s not worth the headache, and in my experience it’s a lot easier to get Windows to mount a btrfs partition. My Windows install is the last NTFS partition on my system, and I’ll keep it around for a while in case I run into something that just won’t play nice with Linux, but that’s it.
+1 for FitGirl the GOAT! I wish I had money to throw her way, because the work she’s doing is great and I hope she can keep it up for a long time to come.
HONK if you HONK
I will HONK HONK
Where is wereralph when we really need him?
Oh hey, I was having this issue. Changed the audio to OpenAL, restarted, and haven’t had any problems since. Might be worth a try if you haven’t already.
