Love this album. It’s the music that plays when the time finally arrives:

As I walk home from work on a dreary day, suddenly the clouds split apart, and in the warm light of a new day a clockwork dirigible bears down upon me. A beautiful androgyne, resplendent in a dashing suit of the color of burnished gold, leans down from the deck with a white gloved hand and grabs my eagerly lifted palm. I am borne away from this world of pain and sorrow on wings of song to take my place in the skies.

He sings a song that reminds him of the vodka,

he drinks a drink that reminds him of the vodka.

This is the sort of spite that manifests greatness. A stellar clapback I’d have expected to hear in the temples of old when a priest takes the verbal lash to a king who was hated by his subjects. Quite the professional takedown. Well executed!

Nearly everyone in Hades and Hades 2 have awesome voice actors. I’m particularly fond of Zagreus & Skelly from 1 and Melinoë, Hephaestus & Odysseus from 2. Great game and the VAs kick ass.

this post right here, officer

Can confirm. Bought weighted blanket, and it helps me sleep to the point where I have a hard time without it. So every night I’m sleeping away from home I need to carry a 20lb weighted blanket with me. Not great but the sleep is great so you gotta take the good with the bad I guess.

Reminds me of a quote I heard from somewhere a while ago: “I’ve never met a casual Slayer fan. I’ve only met the fan with Slayer carved into his chest.” Seems like that can apply to ICP fans too except with Hatchetman tattoos.

I play ukulele because when I miss a note or get a beat wrong it just makes me laugh because it sounds so silly. I got a banjolele too and that thing is ridiculous, but when it works it sounds awesome.

Hopefully you’ve picked up some ear protection since then! Drums are loud AF and if you’ve already got hearing issues, drums will make them worse. +1 for Loop earplugs if you need some.

Harder to be reported for forcing your frat pledges/freshmen to do illegal things if you forbid recording it and posting it to social media.

The vibes on this game were on point. Great game and I really really really hope they’re making another one. Preferably with workshop and mod support! And DLCs! I wanna tear more ships apart! RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE

This part of the Animatrix is the most eerie, twisted short I’ve seen. It makes me shudder even now years after I watched it. Should be required viewing for any billionaire AI nerds.

Same. I gave Kenshi a try and it didn’t click for me. Caves of Qud though, that game is pure unmitigated crack for me. Live and drink, friend.

Love seeing another person with lots of hours in Caves of Qud. It’s rapidly climbing up my hours played list since 1.0 release. Bought it at 17.99, played for 220 hours so far. Math says that’s 9 cents an hour, and I’m still not done playing. Live and drink, friend!

mustard on the beat, yo

I had forgotten about this episode!

In my personal experience, true poly couples often act the way that Phlox/Feezal do around a potential new partner. In all cases I’ve seen they respect the boundaries that the new partner sets, like here Trip feels weird and expresses that later in the episode, so they back off.

Poly relationships would have been a really cool dynamic to explore on Enterprise though, so it’s somewhat of a missed opportunity. Oh well.

“You know what she’s called? Incontinentia… Incontinentia Buttocks WILL YOU STOP LAUGHING!?”

That scene is always able to make me laugh.

This is the best answer because all of these other fictional places can be replicated with 100% accuracy using Culture tech.

Not pictured: The dynamic and eternal back-and-forth in the comments section of that article where Wikipedia purist nerds do battle with Wikipedia’s cadre of silly gooses.

Purists hate that “cetacean” is used here and feel that the silly gooses are diluting the information on Wikipedia for a pun. They also complain that visitors to that page will be confused by the term, and that it will cause the social credit of Wikipedia as a whole to wane in the eyes of the world.

The gooses want the purist nerds to take a chill pill. I’m with the gooses. If the purists knew how often scribes in ancient times doodled pointless things like mounted snail combat and wildly exaggerated dick drawings on illuminated manuscripts then I’d presume they’d be okay with allowing a minor joke like this one, but I guess you can’t please everyone.
