Another wizard vanquished! Another victory for the Inquisition, ha !

Or maybe a reference to Psycho?

So the guy was preparing fireworks for the New Year? Or had leftovers from the party?

But now they can legitimate all sort of bullshit measures to enforce that law. It will have an effect. Just not the one you expected.

Started Grim Dawn (ARPG) and Genesis Order (AVN, although I suppose that one is fairly recent).

Because it’s jolly?

I love that people “forget” this was Notch’s previous game.

What I’m reading is that he wants Chinese or Indian engineers because they are as qualified as the next guy, they’re already used to insane hours and no holidays AND he can just pay them their original wage, which is peanuts compared to what US engineers make. Also once he’s done with them he can just deport them. What’s not to like?!

Yes! That’s what I usually do as well. Unless there is some house specialty I’ve been recommended and I came for, I will try a “reference dish” to get a baseline.

Right. That speedometer goes all the way to 270 km/h but on average we drive at about 30km/h in a city. That’s why our cars can last 400000 km while a Formula 1’s engine last about one race.

Unless you bought something, then you get the exact item in your ads too. Because hey, we know you liked that book! Why don’t you want another copy of it, uh?

I love that my kids actually do not do that and stick stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…

In my mother’s hometown, they finally decided which architect would redesign the townhall after it’s roof burnt down. Five years ago. And this is a rich town. France is fucking useless at getting shit done fast. It’s depressing really. This plant finally getting built is a fucking miracle!

You’re you trying to bend the rules!

“The bond is broken, I said!” You can’t unspeak the words.

Reminds me of one I saw years ago from Ireland with a similar address “you know the lad with the glasses, goes to the university and his da’ runs the bakery” or something to that effect. And having lived there, I have no difficulty this would find it’s recipient, haha!

I like to think of myself as European, thank you very much.

That’s a surprisingly kind view of things, but yeah, my dad did mountaineering his whole life and fucked his knees proper, but also likes to enjoy good food, so now in his seventies and with diabetes creeping in, it’s a perfect combo for becoming fat.

I guess it’s a bit easier to mock Steven Seagal because he’s been so fit in his movies throughout most of his career, and now it turns out he was an asshole all along, on top of looking like an asshat even when I loved his movies. But mocking him for being an older human still feels rather cheap.

In my company they give us all a factory tour so we can see what are work helps facilitate. It’s pretty cool, honestly. Helps make things less abstract. When I worked as a roaming tech it was my favourite part : arriving at a new client and discovering their factory or offices or whatever and seeing them do their thing. Very cool stuff, once in a while.

Given that the author was genuinely inspired by something he lived (it’s never been cleared up for me whether he had a girlfriend experience miscarriage or what), I never really understood the vicious and now eternal mockery. Just goes to show the community…

The meme itself is wonderfully elegant! It’s a reduction of the original comic to its simplest form. The sort of shit that should evolve over the course of centuries gets done in a few weeks in the Internet primordial soup. I could write it thus and I reckon it’s still recognizable : I Ii II I_

Each bar represents a character in the otherwise silent comic. And is usually presented in a two by two pattern to reflect the comic layout. But it’s been deconstructed to much it’d still work as I’ve rendered it above.
