Sure he did, he’s only in a cassock. Usually you’d also have a surplice or a chasuble for a wedding. And no stole? He’s totally being wacky!

Like Mary’s bolt-on fake tits.

Along with all the other examples listed here:

The Bear

Also wtf is the “Abused child forgive abusive parent and reunite happily ever after” trope, fuck that shit. Abusers do not deserve forgiveness.

No, but depending on circumstances and the work the abuser is willing to put into changing themself and making things as right as they can, forgiveness can be earned.

“Sort of” because it isn’t a lawnmower, it’s possessing a lawnmower.

“But yeah” because that’s splitting hairs. 🤣

Sounds like Linus Torvalds’s code review comments got into the training data.

I love that San Francisco (NorCal) and LA (SoCal) are swapped.

(And also that NYC doesn’t actually include NYC.)

Well sort of. But yeah.

Important thing to remember about the “console wars.”

Other than the Nintendo Wii (iirc), most consoles sell at a loss at the beginning of the generation. They eventually turn a profit on console sales, but console sales aren’t the point.

Game sales are.

When each console was its own very specific architecture and games needed to be designed specifically for them, console sales matter a lot because that’s how you’d sell games.

But now that architectures are similar (if not the same), cross-compilation has become easier than ever. It’s why you see Sony finally releasing first party titles on PC.

Microsoft knows full well that their console sales aren’t great, but that’s okay for them. Their PC sales are. Many of their titles sell on Steam. And they sell some of their titles on PlayStation.

They’ll continue to make some form of console because without it they lose out on millions of Game Pass subscriptions from people who don’t want to make the initial investment in a gaming PC, or deal with the complexity, but their goal of making that next console more and more like a PC fits perfectly in their model.

It’s a shame the Series X has sold so poorly, it’s a great console, but I doubt Microsoft is too worried about “losing” the console wars to Sony. The game has changed.

If you haven’t played It Takes Two (same developer) I highly recommend it. I liked it even more!

I liked Split Fiction, but It Takes Two was better. I hope for more good things from the developer in the future!

I’m pretty sure that story would get your visual novel banned from itch.io due to payment processor drama.

No problem, I got there by context. How angry was your maternal grandpa? Did both parents get thrown out or just your dad? I’m fascinated by this story, like a train crash you just can’t look away from.

If your dad is 10 years older than your mom, some questions are best left unasked…

Especially if his dad was 10 years older than twice his mom’s age when they met.

he was also my paternal grandpa’s bestest bud and living with the family for ~1 year at my grandpa’s invitation

I suspect you mean “maternal” grandpa here. Otherwise he was his own father’s bestest bud, and your mom was living with your dad’s dad for some reason.
