I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).
“This is basically how video games work, there’s a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options.”
I grew up to not be a programmer.
Not really sure how your advice is applicable here.
People having a good time discussing things should “move on” when someone randomly turns the conversation into “you’re supporting fascist corporations”? Why doesn’t that person just move on to someone who wants to hear it?
What’s fascinating is how you turned “I bought this show a while back” into a political argument.
I’d argue a majority of the people on this fringe platform understand the dangers you name, but not everyone wants it to be the only thing they ever discuss.
Yup, neighbor is also the plug and he gave him a free half. What a G.
I think it’s an Office Space reference. In the movie, the main character’s neighbor shouts at him through their shared wall to check out channel 9, because there’s some information about breast exams and he “thought it was something you’d wanna see”
Yup, I know your feel. The most recent example I can think of that has a good blend is the Halo series (at least on normal or hard). You can jump around to try to avoid getting shot, run to a different area, sometimes find different guns laying around to help certain situations. I had a good time replaying the original when it came to PC.
During any point while writing these comments, did you ever stop and think: “maybe these students have a good relationship with the professor and knew how he would react to such a prank”?
Like I’d get it if the guy said he was afraid of spiders and the following day someone put a fake spider on his desk. In that situation, they don’t know him well, the spider has a likelihood of being real, and a single person doing it without peer review can be iffy.
But this is weeks later, everyone agreeing that the professor would find it funny, and doing something that could in no way be perceived as “real”.
receiving a random (wanted) gift
Coworker hands me a Peep
It’s like you didn’t even read my comment! /s
Also, for the sake of clarifying my original point: it isn’t necessarily that the cookies were free, or that there were so many of them. OOP probably would’ve been just about as happy if the flight attendant overheard her and made a point to give her just a single pack- it’s the being acknowledged and having someone make a deliberate effort for you that gives the warm and fuzzies here.
This poor guy doesn’t understand the immense joy that is receiving a random (wanted) gift from someone.
What tastes better, the piece of candy from the bag you bought, or one randomly handed to you by a co-worker? 😜
The game celebrates the personalities, quirks, and overall communal impact of these everyday men

I don’t know of any videos, but the concept seems to have gotten pretty popular in the last year or two. I’m in the 3D printing community, and there’s pretty frequently a “magic floating <whatever>” in the “popular” section.
I assume the most difficult part would be determining what size magnets to use to achieve the desired float height. The rest should (in theory) be relatively simple; the magnets’ natural characteristics do all the hard work.
It is done entirely with magnets.
There’s a few ways it can be arranged, but typically, there will be a large, powerful magnet in the base, a small magnet at the bottom of the floating object that is attracted to the big magnet (to keep the object upright), and a series of other magnets around the object that are repelled by the big magnet (to make it float).
I’ve seen some that use a secondary “key” magnet on the base and object that is the opposite polarity of the base magnet, that forces the object to sit in a specific orientation. Otherwise, the object can just kind of freely spin/float, so long as the bottom magnet stays pointing down.
Wait, did they ACTUALLY delist it? Haven’t used my switch in a while.
That’s fucking insane if so.
Super Mario Sunshine
You mean the game that’s already available on the Switch via Mario All-Stars?
Cmon, Nintendo.
If I had to put it in words, I’d say that it’s an example of absurdist humor by taking the common act of “one-up’ing” to an unexpected extreme degree.
ex.: “I prefer mowers from x brand, because they give a more consistent cut height.” / “Yeah, those mowers are great and all, but I started using a ruler and scissors to cut my lawn, it really took it to the next level”
This may be enough for most cases but I prefer to hit the inside of my cartridges with a sand blaster and then soak the entire thing in hydrochloric acid, really gets it good
There was a spam bot on the fediverse using this (the woman’s) image and the name Nicole, it would tell you that you could call her “The Fediverse Chick”.
Yup. Everyone will treat this like a silly, “wow so dumb and pointless” thing.
It’s all quite calculated.
Close, I DM’ed a short-lived DnD campaign a year ago.
