Ha, I had one and it’s what first came to mind too. Pretty useless.

Sabine Wrenn? Healed by a medical bot. At least hers took a while.

If Scandinavian homicide serials were accurate there would be nobody left!

Yep, like when there’s a remote mountain town of five people and two of them get murdered.

Ohhhh… TIL!

I’ve had elderflower liquor (St. Germain is very nice) but not elderberry.

There are some southern or appalachian insults that I’m sure would confuse foreigners, even those who are functional in English.

Comparisons like “He’s twelve ounces short of a pint”, backhanded compliments like “I just love how you don’t care what people think”, idioms like “three sheets to the wind”. And then of course there’s “rode hard and put up wet”.

“Your mother was a hamster!” is pretty self-explanatory though.

But elderberries smell rather nice. Or at least the last elderberry jam I had was quite lovely. So that certainly makes for a confusing insult.

FTFY

But notice if you please

that AT-ATs

I feel like turkey, cornish hen, and maybe quail are more common as food than pheasant and goose. At least in the US. If you’re European maybe you put live blackbirds inside pies or something, I dunno, but I guess that’s technically a dino meal too.

Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.

Happy birthday! I actually just started playing Journey for the first time yesterday, less than an hour I’d say (on Steam). The visuals and fluidity of controls are nice, nothing spectacular by today’s standards but I’m sure they were great back in the PS3 era. The beginning felt a little slow trudging through the sand until I understood how the scarf upgrades work. But then when I encountered another player it really started to click and go more smoothly. I like how the game encourages cooperation by pinging and refilling each other’s scarf energy, though I feel like progress might go slow again if I get stuck going solo next session. The puzzles are very simple but I was feeling sick so having a ‘cozy’ game was actually pretty nice.

Pretty much exactly like Doritos™?

BuzzKill is great for wrangling your notifications. Match a word or phrase and group them, snooze them, set special vibration patterns, whatever.

Maybe warm grog

I really don’t enjoy bad games. They’re bad because something significant disrupts the fun, such as major bugs, janky mechanics, poor pacing, bland story or characters, no sense of progression, grindy RNG time-wasting, systems (e.g. crafting) that are either far too shallow or way too convoluted, half-baked level design, or even external factors like obnoxious DRM or microtransactions.

The bad game I sunk the most time into by far is No Man’s Sky. People keep insisting “it’s good now”, but all the gameplay mechanics are truly awful. It’s an okay sandbox and entertaining enough if that’s all you’re after, but as a game specifically it has about 2/3 of the issues I mentioned above.

Nah, that game is pretty great and easy to recommend. I played it through with DLC 100% maybe 18 months ago. The combat and traversal is Arkham-esqe and fun, the Nemesis system keeps the challenge fresher than most games, the characters and upgrades are interesting enough, art and graphics and sound hold up, and the story goes surprisingly far into the heart of Middle-Earth lore.

It’s quite good even just on popcorn.

My dad helped me install the original Wolfenstein 3D on DOS when I was a kid. And he’s 100% a boomer (b.1947). So for that reason it always feels accurate to me.

Yep this seems even more blurry and pixelated than the last 3 times I saw it haha

I imagine people resharing memes (long before OP here) take a photo of their monitor with a potato phone and then reupload that after resizing it with some shitty Motorola app or whatever first. Do that 3-4x and soon it’s a mess.
