I need to make an effort to post here more. So, hi. I have some new followers, from what I can only assume is professional courtesy.
Enjoy this clip of one of my friends blowing me sky-high in Helldivers 2!

The influences on the new CoD title music are pretty clear.

When I was but a young Mike, I thought that the first lines of @alyankovic.bsky.social 's "Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" are that the singer worked at "Big Roy's Eating and Plumbing." Of course it's "Heating," but at the time it made perfect "sense" to have a combination cafe and toilet store.

I took a chance and submitted what may be a magnum opus of honesty for a job application.
Q: "Why do you want to work for <company>?"
A: "Because capitalism?"
(Paraphrased, of course.)

Really feeling some irritation about some design choices in #MGSDelta .
This thread will be my whiny place to list them. You don't have to read it, but maybe you can share some as well! Note that this isn't about the original, or the plot; I'm talking about the remake's remakery.

Well, tonight I went out of my way to leave my comfort zone to try something new. And—surprise—it made me uncomfortable.
Guess I'm one of those doomed introverts.

So, @localthunk.com , this comes from a place of love, but my wife is shouting in anger at this:
If the Gros Michel goes extinct on the moment of completing the Round 8 boss battle, the card does not get the sticker because it's gone before the "You Win" screen appears.
Completionist++ eludes us.

I had an unusual, but not unwelcome interaction today:
A store clerk asked me if I was "comfortable accepting compliments," and then said that I had a magnificent beard.
I think that's the first time anyone's ever asked me if they could say something nice, and my beard isn't even long-ish.

I rolled credits on Death Stranding (1) a couple of days ago and was surprised to find @erinfitzgerald.bsky.social among the talent! I hope your character returned for the sequel, but given how long it took me to play the first, I won't find out for another few years. ;)

I'm not seeing many "Humor" cards here in the Sympathy section of the Hallmark store. Perhaps this is an unexplored niche market?

Why do we call it a "carousel," anyway? If you're on it, you're either seven years old, accompanying a seven-year-old, or filming an independent movie. Nobody's *carousing* on those horses.
