What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

I'm still bummed that Bitbucket is going cloud-only. We've been using it on-premises for years and it has been lovely. Atlassian must be concerned that their customers won't follow them into the cloud bc they just sent out a customer survey (about two years two late).

I don't share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn't let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.

I'm not sure what needs optimizing. It's fine on Pixel Tablet.

Or maybe we shouldn't go storming into people's houses with guns and tactical gear at all.

I remember reading a book when I was a kid called The Dog Days of Arthur Cane. I think the fairy was a witch doctor but basically the same idea. As I recall, Arthur saw the best and the worst of humanity during his predicament. Sadly no Wikipedia page for the author but the book is on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2006378.The\_Dog\_Days\_of\_Arthur\_Cane

I still have my Geek Code saved somewhere. Probably on a floppy disk. 😂

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

Sia - Breathe Me (mainly because of Six Feet Under)

Honorable mention to Dan Folgelberg - Same Old Lang Syne.

I fondly remember the Activision titles for the Atari 2600, especially Star Raiders and the Pitfall games. Also the Scott Adams (not Scott Adams) text adventures from Adventure International on the TRS-80.

These days, for me the absolute minimum is full controller support due to the wife acceptance factor. She loved Dragon Age Inquisition so we tried to play Origins a couple years ago, and even though I'd cloned the displays, me sitting behind her at my computer instead of next to her on the couch was a deal breaker.

There are other plusses in terms of WAF, full voice narration and a good story being chief among them. There's a reason the only soulslike I've ever really played is Fallen Order. 😆

For me playing alone (which I almost never do anymore), one example I can think of is trying to go back to Dark Age of Camelot after playing WoW for a while. That was...painful.

I went to see what thinkgeek dot com was selling these days. Sad to discover that they are no more.

A tie between HISHE and The Warp Zone.

I basically never smoke anymore since edibles are so accessible (and tasty).

I remember getting shit for this when I brought it up in my circle of friends in 2004. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0771119/

I can only assume the pig consented to this. What a kind animal.

I just try to trust the game, though in the case of TotK I did have an "ugh not again" moment when I first landed at the surface level. Glad I stayed with it, though. We usually chip away on it for an hour or two each day, but when I'm not in the mood I just do something else. As long as you're enjoying yourself, there's no wrong way to game. ✌️

MinTTY in Windows (for git bash) and whatever the default is in Debian

I'm not a lemming and this isn't FOSS, but FoxIt will do at least some of what you want.

I really enjoyed the Great Anarchists series. Learned a lot.

Not opening credits exactly but I really loved the recap thing they did in Ronald D. Moore's BSG. So much energy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPBzHa2PcS8&t=38s

DDG has always been pretty good at unit conversion. Sadly, they no longer respect term exclusions in their searches. Had to go back to the G. :(

Not a religion fan or a country music fan, but just thinking about Martina McBride singing O Holy Night makes me tear up a little.

Edit: erroneously said Trisha Yearwood when I meant Martina McBride

Thanks to the modding community we were able to play Mass Effect as if it were running on console many years before the Legendary Edition was available.

Samsung Flip 4 haver here. Picked it up cheap through Google Fi around the NA release. No scratches so far. The screen seems pretty tough. The only real complaint I can think of is that I can't open it one handed.
