A lot of my favorites are already on Nebula. I’d ask the rest to follow but that would require a google account.

I’ve only seen Slayer live once. Was hoping for this to make the set, but sadly it did not. I had to settle for the entirety of Seasons.

Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

I don’t know what they wanted to happen, but at my old place the load spike overloaded the UPS units.

Me: “we really shouldn’t be running these at 85 90 95%.”

Brass: “That’s not 100. Find room to ingest this company we bought when the CEO made a friend at a circlejerk.”

UPS: Bypass mode, bitches!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am convinced that given enough time, the gene for Tries Crazy Shit and the gene for Has Mad Skills will converge.

if you’re in academia you should be able to produce a five paragraph essay.

So, K-12 is “academia” now?

Being able to produce a narrative is an essential life skill.

Lots of essential life skills are difficult for lots of people. Something we get reminded about every time it comes up by people who have no clue what they’re talking about yet see fit to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do, and how to feel about it.

The world isn’t going to cater to you

No fucking shit.

your self diagnosed executive dysfunction

I’m sorry Dr. Jackson, I’ll have to let my old neurologist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, and psychiatrist know that The Internet told me that the assessments I had done at ages 23 and 44 are all in my head.

learning to adapt is probably a useful habit.

You’re right! I’m just going to do that instead of being in constant psychological agony. Where were you all of my life? ❤️ If only I had someone talking down to me saying Just Do The Thing over and over again, from childhood onwards, life would have been so much easier.

🤡

…so you just gonna leave everyone in suspense? The internet loves armchair psychology!

Hi,

I would have failed every single one of your tests. Not because I don’t understand the material, or the English language, but because structured writing, to this day, makes me seize up. Blank space is one of my biggest triggers for executive dysfunction/PDA. Turning everything into a cookie-cutter essay is just a different form of trying to fit everyone into the same box. More selective than making everything multiple guess, but no better. I feel bad for your students.

Look at you with your fancy PowerPC model. We had to make do with a 68040 and we liked it!

I’m getting a headache just thinking about it.

I have fond memories of Hexen. But most of those are overridden by it being the unfortunate game where I finally realized that first person games make me motion sick.

“Oof, I don’t feel so hot. Let me keep playing to keep my mind off of it. Maybe a bite to eat. Back to the game, I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m…” running to the bathroom and honking up everything I just ate and then some until I’m dry-heaving. I didn’t eat hot dogs for a good five years after that.

Because it’s not like these measures have been 100% accurate in the past.

This is the part that really frustrates me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of the wording here. Account ban? Sure, against TOS, etc. But affecting the device is a whole other story. Especially when prior account bans have come under dubious circumstances.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on glue.

Can confirm, had one on semi-perma-loan for a few years. Bought a secondhand Canon from a friend and never looked back.

Those things were like the perfect compromise between frisbee and throwing star.

Just Regular Giuseppe, to my knowledge.

I cannot wish enough ill upon them.

Not with that attitude. C’mon, keep trying like the rest of us.

Gonna need seven firewalls for that kind of work.

There was supposed to be a sequel but a whole bunch of fuckery kept it from happening.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Darkness#Cancelled_sequel

In 2006, Dyack said “absolutely yes” in response to the question of a possible sequel. He stated that Silicon Knights had intended for Eternal Darkness to be a stand-alone game, but they wanted to make more games set in the same universe involving the Ancients.[54][55] At Microsoft’s Spring 2008 Showcase, Dyack said there was a “strong chance” they would return to the Eternal Darkness brand.[56] In 2011, Silicon Knights said they were refocusing on one of their most requested titles for the next generation of consoles. This, combined with the fact that Nintendo had trademarked the title once again, spawned rumors that an Eternal Darkness game would be a launch title for Nintendo’s Wii U console.[57] However, the project was cancelled due to Silicon Knights’ legal troubles with Epic Games.[58] Any possibility for a sequel from Silicon Knights ended in 2013 when Silicon Knights filed for bankruptcy and closed its offices.[59] Nintendo has repeatedly renewed the Eternal Darknesstrademark, stirring rumors of sequels or re-releases.[60][61][62][63]

Followed by Dyack forming another studio, botching three crowdfunding attempts, forming another studio, then shuttering the project.

It really was a mess.
