I can’t believe I actually counted.
Randall has somehow weaponized my love for the Blue Ball Machine. He is a threat to us all.

We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday

a fellow universal paperclip enjoyer, i see
Hey OP you forgot to include the Silksong announcement that definitely totally happened 🤡
It was Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.
The shadow queen asks you to join her at the very end. If you say yes, you get a Game Over screen.
What if it happened at night? Then we’d be fine, right?
Eh, somewhat disagree. I think some series have big potentials for spinoffs or side stories. The Disney Star Wars movies were terrible, agreed, but some of the shows are fantastic.
Marvel (and DC for that matter) is finicky. Comic books are, by their nature, extremely continuous, so there will always be more content to adapt. Whether or not it’s good or worth adapting is dependent on both the comic series and the producers’ capabilities, but that’s another issue.
I mean, I’ll give an example. The Last Airbender, fantastic show. It could have ended there and we’d all be satisfied. But The Legend of Korra, while not as great as TLA, was still (imo) very good. But the Last Airbender movie? Yeah, we all know it sucked hard.
I wouldn’t say writers should never ever look to make spinoffs or side stories to existing content, but obviously it should be good, and it’s demonstrably possible. Star Wars gave us The Clone Wars, Breaking Bad gave us Better Call Saul, and I mean on a somewhat relevant note, LotR gave us Shadow of Mordor, which I really liked. New, original content [edit: as a sequel to already existing content] can be good… but obviously, not always.
Whenever people ask me what engineering work is like, I always tell them I have no idea. I’m not an engineer; engineers drive trains, I’m just a poser.
(am computer hardware engineer)
my absolute dumb ass, eating a bunch of those, enjoying the coffee flavored chocolates at 9 PM, wondering why my heart was racing and being unable to sleep at 3 AM
K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.
I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.
FPGAs are where it’s at, and the job market is surprisingly pretty open right now. Everybody’s sleeping on them, everyone wants study CUDA cores or architecture or… ML hardware accelerators or whatever. If you can transition to RTL design or even silicon engineering, it’s a good industry to be in.
Now, me personally, I’ve never made the funny magic smoke come out from one of my FPGAs, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve fucked up an entire pipeline because I thought a series of logic would take 3 cycles but really it took 2 and now my entire data path is wrong and somehow I missed it in simulation and now I’ve gotta rearchitect everything and running synthesis/P&R takes a goddamn century to run and this is like my 5th time programming my board and…
I’ve said this before, but Factorio is genuinely the only thing that has made me lose track of time before. When I’m goofing off into the wee hours of the night, normally I have a vague sense of time passing. I won’t know what time it is, but I’ll know that it’s late and I should probably stop whatever it is I’m doing (and won’t). And then I’ll look at the clock and it’s 2am-- late, but not surprising.
But then came Factorio. This was when I first started playing, around the time I just started making black science packs. I was refitting my bases to work with laser turrets, and making minor modifications here and there like upgrading from 2 saturated belts of iron to 4 and such. Nothing major. I’d just do these things, maybe an hour or two, and head to bed. So you can imagine my surprise when I look at the clock and it was 5:30 AM. I was baffled; I had no idea I’d spent that long modifying my base. Like 7 hours straight, no breaks. And then the exhaustion hit, and I saved and went immediately to bed.
Cracktorio man, the addiction is real.
