“She may be a barrel of highly toxic waste, but ohmygod does she know her way around a penis.”
The thing is, universal action like this, even on a fraction of the scale necessary to make a dent and ultimately change things, just doesn’t work because people will always bow to capitalism. They’ll kick the dirt and grumble under their breath as they pull out their wallets.
I know you’re saying just wait until it’s on sale, but the power of “keeping up with the joneses” is unfortunately a tried a true way of capitalism. When people are talking about the game in the first weeks and posting memes and making in-jokes, people that were trying to hold out will cave like a poorly managed mining operation.
There is only one rifftrax and it’s not every asshole who thinks they’re funny.
It’s Tom Servo and Crow.
I LOVE cyberpunk. I just finished my [actual number of times I’ve played redacted] play through and I’m stopping myself from starting another. I don’t know what it is about it, but it’s just exactly up my alley. The choices they have you make, they styles of play it let’s you choose, it’s just preem-tier gaming for me. The DLC adds such a massive cherry on top, because it’s so goddamn good it rivals the best the game has to offer.
Enjoy, because it’s so fuckin fun.
Idk im just a white guy who loves dia de los muertos
How dare you
Poor old Jim’s white as a ghost
He’s found the answer that we lost
We’re all weeping now, weeping because
There ain’t nothing we can do to protect you
No better band to go to for truly heart wrenching songs.
Although I would have to say a better selection:
Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong
If you guys haven’t seen the movie I Origins, you should watch it. That song plays as the outro and it’s amazing. Don’t watch any trailers though, it completely ruins the film
Man. My friend was a huge Pearl Jam fan back in the day. He would sing this song every time we went out to any place doing karaoke. I got my heart absolutely torn apart once, and he really helped me through it. When I just didn’t want to be alone he was down for me to come by every night and we’d sit in his garage and drink beers and smoke and talk, and he played me this song—now, I grew up on Pearl Jam in the 90s. Loved them. But I hadn’t kept listening to them.
But one night when I was avoiding being alone with my thoughts and he was there for me, he told me I needed to listen to that song again. He played it and Jesus Christ, man. I never felt so personally seen by a song I’d known my whole life.
Fuck the generational war. The class war is real and it’s one sided, it’s basically a class genocide.
Well, most of the Spanish speaking world calls Barcelona the same way we call it. With slightly different inflection, but only the castellanos have the “Spanish lisp.” Which derived from some king who had a lisp, if I’m remembering that correctly? So other Spanish speaking people—most of them, in fact, don’t call it “barth-elona.”
I learned Spanish in Spain, so I started speaking in that lispy Spanish. But as I continued to get way more fluent, living in the other parts of the Spanish speaking world, my accent changed.
“People can connect with anything. That’s why I can pick up this pencil, tell you its name is Steve, do this. * breaks * And part of you dies, just a little bit inside.”
I felt bad for the phlegm. I ship phlegm and phlembelina.
I also love his friend’s just awe at the loogie. I miss getting psyched over how big a loogie is.
So RDR2O is good? I love RDR2, and I’ve played the campaign to death. But I tried online and found it…meh. Maybe I didn’t invest in it and I was looking for a more cohesive story or maybe a helping hand in getting my toes wet, but it just felt like there was nothing novel or interesting to do. I’m sure playing with someone makes it a lot more fun. I was really looking for more of the campaign. That’s not what it is.
I mean, factoring in advertising costs and shit, especially with a huge advertising push, could make that total number rise dramatically. And when you actually have the government pumping you full of money, you find ways to spend it. When other games end up asking themselves if they can afford to ____ because the timeline is _____, this kind of production gets to say, “do it. Hire more people.” And it doesn’t have to involve crunch.
Room temp water is the only way to go.
Nah, we’re independent contractors and we work outside (in production). I’m not saying he can’t ever land in shit, but he’s not crossing any lines or anything. It’s just a thing that definitely makes a lot of people uncomfortable. If these people were to ever go to the production manager/producer/whoever, they wouldn’t really have much to say. “He said ‘hey there darling’ when I walked by!” I get that there are definitely legitimate complaints im regards to this kind of behavior, im just saying there’s not really a leg to stand on. He’s not coming across as creepy or overt, he’s just saying hi and being sweet. Still not cool for 99.9999% of people.
I mean, yes. A super weird thing to say to a stranger.
Buuut…there are just some people with the kind of—I believe the kids are calling it “rizz”—to get away with and win people over with things no one should ever say. I’m sure it’s a mixture of looks, confidence, the elusive “charm,” and also, yes, probably plenty of people taking offense still.
But, there are definitely people with the right mix of all that, plus a kindness about their aura/perception that can and definitely do say this kind of shit.
One of my buddies, for example. He’s over 50. But whatever it is, when we’re working, he does say shit like this to women passing on the street and the reaction is not at all unlike the one in the comic. I do not understand it. But ive seen it firsthand.
Dude is a chain smoker and is missing I think more teeth than he has left. I would love to possess this kind of natural ease people receive you with—hell, I’d settle for not being unapproachable. But hey, the cards you’re dealt, right?
That’s actually the entire joke of the comic, that he had her cliff notes in his jeans. He’s trying to explain “I was just supplementing my reading and understanding” when she cut him off and walked out for reading her cliff notes in the first place
Fourth: not jumping up out of bed early, not because we’re hungover, but because it’s a holiday and an excuse to relax—we didn’t even drink last night, nor go out. We were up until 2, but just hanging out at home.
Fifth: coke heads
Sixth: people who fell asleep at 11p and woke up and acted like today is any other day
Seventh: people who were forced to continue working and had to go to work
…point is, I think there are maybe a few more than two types of people lol
And the tiny one is for breaking the knee caps of the ownership class!
