The last time I was handing out candy at my old neighborhood, kids would ring the doorbell but then they’d just stand there and stare at me until I handed them candy. You’re supposed to say “trick or treat”!

Now I live in an apartment, so I don’t get trick-or-treaters. (I have candy just in case, but nobody ever knocks.) My roommate went to hang out with his sister and hand out candy at her place, and apparently their neighborhood has decreed that trick-or-treating ends at 7 sharp now so that nobody is out after dark? I don’t get it. I thought staying out late (and, for teens, potentially unsupervised) was part of the fun!

My college workflow was to copy the prompt and then “paste without formatting” in Word and leave that copy of the prompt at the top while I worked, I would absolutely have fallen for this. :P

I don’t want to look at my disgusting flesh-body and I’d rather nobody else saw it either. Rebuild me shiny and chrome, then we’ll talk about showing off.

As someone who swore off WoW not for gameplay reasons, but due to appalling behavior by Blizzard management, I’m not sure I think associating your political campaign with the game is a good idea.

Sorry isn’t “gender identity” the most common public restroom type in America, and also the opposite of the one they’re concerned about? They aren’t putting windows in the boys’ room or the girls’ room, which are segregated by gender. These are the gender neutral restrooms that they want to peek into (or really, discourage anyone from using). Up is down with these people.

Edit: Wait, I just looked at the picture again. The caption says gender neutral, but the actual signage on the restroom says “Boys” and then below that “Gender Inclusive” and I’m not sure how those two things go together.

I can’t believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn’t made by someone who would send thugs to your house!

I wonder if I can make a cheat that doesn’t do anything but turn myself into a frog…

“Real world politics”? Did I miss the news that Undead Demon Margaret Thatcher is running in the next UK election?

The headline is a little misleading. The actual article is talking about why, given that Project 2025 is the culmination of 40 years of far-right thought, the media has only begun sounding the alarm bells since the publication of the book, and why the focus is on the most sensational aspects instead of on explaining the pernicious, foundational, fascist ideas it’s built upon.

Did he? My recollection is that he gave her a 70% chance of winning, which is not at all the same as predicting that she will win.

They’re by different writers, and I know on their podcast I have heard people disagree in the past about things like whether a polling difference is meaningful, so maybe they’re just each calling it like they see it.

Ginkgo don’t have flowers. They’re older than flowers.

Interesting, I make sets of 10. When I see 7 and 6, half of the 6 moves over to make 10 + 3. I say “moves over” because it feels like dividing tokens into sets in my head.

Okay the image is messy but the snake coiling around the scales is actually a sick concept.

Huh, I didn’t even know this existed until now. And instead of being tempted to watch the show, I’m wondering how wise it is to leave viewers (and potential viewers) wondering if they would rather you have made the other show that you teased in the first place.

Perfect! :D

If I weren’t lazy I’d make a “I’m literally the guy in the photo” meme about this.

So what are we expecting to see in June?

This seems like the last chance to announce a Switch release for Metroid Prime 4. If we don’t see it, I’ll assume it was pushed to the next console.

I thought the rumors of a remake for Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War sounded likely. FE 4 and 5 have both never been remade and never officially been made available in English, but 4 is popular in Japan and Sigurd had a relatively prominent role in Engage compared to most of the other Emblems. However, we haven’t heard anything about it, so if we don’t hear about it in June I’ll assume they aren’t doing it.

A while ago I spent 20 minutes doing captchas to try to reset the password to my Steam account. I finally Googled to see if it usually took so many, and it turned out to just be bugged, lmao. Had to reset it through the mobile app instead, IIRC.
