Dick Head… his name was Dick Head.

I’m reading this at Amsterdam airport. Trying to get the hell away from here asap.
What is that from?
…at least, not until after the vasectomy.
I was lost when he built that Nether portal at 2:45
Meditation with help from the “Waking Up” app changed my life. I tried some other apps before and they’re mostly just about stress relief which doesn’t help you grow. This is different.
Are these all Manga / Anime?
If it’s Neil Gaiman’s Death, I’m all in
Got an example?
At first I thought this was based on the Koontz book. It’s a shame there are (almost) no adaptations of his stories. I have a lot of nostalgia for “Twilight eyes” and a few of his other books from my teenage years.
Meanwhile, everyone on TikTok is waging generation wars
Good bye.
I crave meat like a vampire.
When somebody says “you guys” that means every person in the community. I am prepared to die on this hill.
It will only be a lesson if millions of boomers don’t watch it thinking it’s real. Like they do with all those AI generated pictures on Facebook.
And I don’t see why Arch is relevant to the discussion. My point is that software being non-proprietary is not a guarantee for preventing fuckery like Microsoft’s. Profit-maximizing companies will maximize their profits, proprietary software or not. Canonical, which sells a non-proprietary Linux distribution, is an example of this.
Not just modern scifi but modern reality.
I don’t think it’s a big deal where you start. The latest iteration of Riven will likely be the most accessible and that’s probably what matters most if you’re just starting out.
Much of the appeal (for me at least) is that the storyline is a Tolkien-like epic story spanning thousands of years. Myst takes place before Riven, and if you wanted to consume it in chronological order you would start by reading the books (which are surprisingly good). But it’s fine to go back and “fill in the blanks” if you play in a different order. It’s like reading The Hobbit after you read The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Also note that Riven and Riven 2024 are the same story so there’s no need to play both of them. Same with Myst, just pick the most modern iteration of it. The versions that allow you to move and look around freely take away a lot of frustration with trying to make out what the world looks like and finding clues.
