  • LOL sounds like that game gets it right too! I’ll have to check out Vinyard Story.

    In Cataclysm DDA there’s something called an “antlered horror.” Basically undead moose.

    Sheer. Friggin. Terror!

    Obligatory:

    “A Møøse once bit my sister …”

    “Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti…”

    “We apologise for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible have been sacked.”




  • The good thing about YOUR homelab is that YOU’RE taking notes solely for YOURSELF and only YOU know how YOU work and how YOU organize YOUR thoughts.

    Normally I’d agree, in that it’s not some corporate production environment, but also I personally want to document my self hosted setup in a kind of document that can at least be accessed and understood by my closest family, if something were to happen to me.

    Convincing them to archive stuff on my Nextcloud instance for example, and them losing access because I’m not around, temporarily or permanently, would spoil the whole point of the endeavor.







  • Unless I had already reached my annual deductible, that is.

    “Hey good news! After about 35% of your annual income is spent on medical bills on top of your triple digit monthly premiums… That health insurance starts to kick in!

    (Until it resets at the end of the year. Teehee!)



  • Y’know when things were relatively less crazy with Russia, I remember lotsa military fiction (or maybe just Modern Warfare 1 idk) using "Russian Ultranationalists " as the “never-ending military bad guy goon-squad terrorist faction” that’s okay to fight and kill in an entertainment product while still saying “Any resemblance is coincidental.”

    …My point is that the highest offices of the U.S are controlled by a US “ultranationalist” terrorist goon squad faction. They’re such ridiculously overt bad guys that they’d be considered too outlandish for a Michael Bay movie.

    …and everybody’s like “Oh my! So shocking! Well, you know, this is just politics.”

    They just don’t want to believe that a violent fringe cult is right there in front of them, ransacking and demolishing centuries of progress.

    They must be stopped or they won’t stop.





  • I can’t imagine writing something like that. Job security? Hah, I’d end up in an inescapable labyrinth of my own making if I named things something that wouldn’t be obvious to my 3-months-later self!

    Maybe that’s the play: He intentionally confuses himself so it takes extra paid time to remember what the heck “SOISOISOI” does, compared to “Whopwhopwhop”.



  • That’s awesome. Like he was really hoping for some dismal and dark exposé on “savage human nature” a la “Lord of the Flies”, and at every turn, proven wrong by people who were happy to just get along and cooperate for mutual benefit…

    … Which should come as a complete shock, social species that we are! /s

    I think these desperately dark tales of people turning on each other in sociological contexts is another propaganda tool to put this idea in our heads that without “qualified leaders” we’d all just be grunting and beating each other over the head with rocks.

    Nah, someone with something to gain has to motivate us to fight each other. What if we just said “lol, anyway” and kept getting along on the raft?
