  • I’ll never forget my first playthrough of Disco.

    Spent an hour attempting to build a character I thought would make a good detective.

    Wake up… oh god this is really bad hrm…

    Well ok… lets get my tie.

    Heart Attack. Dead. Game Over.

    Possibly the greatest single player rpg ever.





  • The 00’s internet had ogrish and bumfights.

    That shit was waaay more fucked up in terms of content, but it was also extremely niche.

    I have met tons of kids and young adults that act nearly identically to kik streamers or the more insane twitch streamers.


  • True, I can see the appeal of small Twitch channels where you have a reasonable chance of actually interacting…

    …but so many of the larger channels …

    1. chat is literally an overwhelming barrage of randomness

    2. so, so many streamers develop gigantic egos, and then get into fights with other similar people.

    Kik is even worse. While many of the popular people on Twitch have serious personality disorders, Kik seems to legitimately just be streams of gambling and the worst person you knew in high school being paid to commit crimes.


  • Well thanks for the explanation.

    I think Twitch culture is largely cancer so I never followed it.

    Never saw the appeal of like watching a Twitch stream for hours and hours.

    All the good moments just get clipped by the author or someone else and end up in a time respecting format on youtube anyways?

    So OLD.

    Oh, so, ‘truthfully’ or ‘verily’.

    Welp. Sure, ok. Uh…

    How… wtf is the etymology on that? I have no clue how cap = lie.

    Last time I talked to a Gen Alpha I literally could not understand 70% of what they were saying. I look a bit younger than I actually am so I had to say look I’m in my 30s, talk to me like I’m a boomer.

    Then they dropped the lingo, after rolling their eyes and pouting.

    Hooooray for being old. And autistic. Now I’m going to pout.

    Few today speak of the legends of old, but many moons ago, denizens of the internet, vastly engrossed in its esoteric knowledge, were said to be able to subsist in a euphoric state, consuming only the fermented gases of a mysterious substance known only as jyenk-uyhm!

    Alas, the recipe to this mysterious ambrosia was lost sometime ago, when their sect was obliterated by the cult of the pranic sun drinkers, who claimed to know a more true and more divine manner of being and worldly subsistence.

    These days not even the sun drinkers are well known, amidst the carnivorous reign of the Liver King.

    May we all remain resolute in these dietarily blasphemous times.


  • ‘Never point any firearm at anything you are not intending to destroy’ is like rule one of any gun range or weapons safety course.

    This is taught not only to instill fear and respect, but because weapon malfunctions and user errors happen, and they maim and kill people.

    I have had squib rounds on the range, and shitty .22 ammo go off 4 seconds after i pulled the trigger. Had I just assumed it was immediately a dud and gone to clear it without waiting, I could have shot the person in the next stall.

    Many pistols have safeties and/or hammers that can be easily set to an unsafe when carried like this, if you bump into something or even lean the wrong way.

    Theres also the chance of blowing your genitals off or shooting yourself in the hips, upper legs, in a way thats fairly likely to paralyze you or kill you from blood loss from shooting your genitals or femoral artery, if you manage to disengage the safety and also pull the trigger, or draw the weapon improperly in a state of basically threatened panic. Statistically this is rare, but it has happened more than once.

    Imagine sitting and then standing and then sitting again with your gun like this.

    Ok, now imagine walking or jogging or running and then stopping suddenly. Or even leaning over to reach something.

    In addition to being just very uncomfortable with a gun digging into your stomach and crotch, probably the actual main reason this is stupid is that it just is not actually secure, the gun is likely to accidentally fall out and not go off, but scatter across the floor and scare the shit out of everyone nearby.

    In … most (?) of the US, its probably accidentally a crime (brandishing) to even accidentally reveal a concealed weapon without an imminent threat to your person, though this will vary greatly by state, locality and the situation.

    Holsters exist to solve this problem.

    The closest thing to this that people actually are Appendix Inside Waistband Holsters that clip onto a belt, and go under an overshirt, but over an undershirt, or what are called Belly Bands for non belted people, those are basically underarmor style waistbands with shaped pockets.

    In reality these are generally fairly uncomfortable for most people I’ve ever known that carry a gun on a regular basis.

    The damndest thing to me is that the fundamental premise of the show, that of being basically random skits, in a random unfair world, where nothing really matters because multiverse and people are just shitty a lot of the time…

    … this fundamental attribute was abandoned for a cohesive lore and seasons that follow entire arcs.

    The fucking main theme of the show was randomness and unpredictability, and that was abandoned because apparently the remaining fans completely missed the point and needed a standard structure.

    It is truly incredible to me when a fanbase seems to utterly miss the point of the show or movie.

    Guys use the redpill to escape from the Matrix by becoming a cartoonish misogynist parody of a self help capitalist!

    Patrick Bateman is actually someone I resonate with and idolize!

    Lets obsess over and clamor for more and more Neon Genesis Evangelion when the point of the original fucking show is to grow up and have a real life with real experiences despite the traumas of childhood and the whole reboot is literally about how the fan base seemingly cannot do this!

    You could theoretically think it to a smart watch that measures heart rate and perspiration to sort of do that?

    Oh god. The fucking Mac Goggles. That would work, its got the sensors to determine mood based off of reading your eyes and face.

    I came up with the idea of an RGB gaming fleshlight/catheter for total immersion in games a decade ago as a joke, and I am basically 100% sure that such a thing, or something very close to that, now already exists.

    I know there are… remote operated basically bj/handy machines, I just dont know if they are RGB and also allow you to piss, cartman style, so you never have to leave your gamer throne.
