"Because I don't want to end up like my father." One of the best character arcs in Star Trek, Nog was always a favorite character of mine and one I think a lot of us relate to. If you are new to Trek and want to see the scene that defines Nog, you can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcAT...

this one has always been one of my favorites

RIP

genuinely shocked i haven't seen this on the tl yet with all the winstonposting

Corollary: The reason we should want to boost housing supply is not that it will lower housing costs, but because it will allow more people to live in dense urban areas.

So, this is still going on. If you can evade being caught on-the-scene, it is perfectly legal in New York City to ram someone with a car. The police will treat you, the victim, like you're a pain in the ass.

Victory through effort and study is illegitimate, an expression of "low cunning" that inverts the natural hierarchy. Victory is only legitimate if it is ordained by God.

I love bohroks, charlie

sweats is still my favourite gamer term. can you believe this guy was trying to win the game we’re playing?

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gorilla with a jetpack, and a big bubble to protect against AOE spam.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

So when I convert video files in Handbrake, my "conversion complete" sound is the Tekken 3 announcer. I'm sitting here watching Tree House of Horror when suddenly the conversion ended with perfect timing

even with an astonishing 34 bans, once again it's still an impossible act for konami to address every issue with the format at once; while elfnote & rolad aren't as oppressive & combo slop is dead, the omnipresent asshole gorilla is still ruining games with his dumb tesla cannon & dome shield

"I was a dumbass for X, Y, Z reasons. Material reality made me see the error of my ways" is actually incredibly uplifting stuff, especially from a 25 year old with a blue collar job and a HS diploma. He was a teenager during Trump 1

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

muscle man muscle man with his heart in the sand so he stands to watch the whole wide park from his van (not a van)

I've come to realize the older I get that the incoming group of new ppl in fandom spaces everywhere tries to be woke but doesn't wanna give up the high school drama culture so it just results in useless vapid critique being treated as some big moral failing

the thing to focus on is how few democrats are actually doing it. the vast majority of democrats running this fall are not cutting bigot ads, which is good because it means we can crush these people in the future

Here at the Shinra office, overheard a new employee talking about video games. Turned around and told them that I have faith in three companies, the three B's: Bethesda, Bioware, and Blizzard. He turned his head away with a huge grin on his face as he said, "Yeah, those are pretty strong companies"

The ambient crime rate today in the worst neighborhood in NYC is is lower today than the ambient crime rate in one of the richest neighborhoods was in 1992.

to weigh in on the arcade game discourse earnestly: i’ve been slowly getting into them more and more lately, playing both shmups and beat em ups, having a great time with both and i think they’re extremely inviting and fun and rewarding even and arguably especially at lower skill levels

this ones in the permastim rotation

deeply depressing also to see replies to this post saying "well i just want to see pretty lights i dont like getting better at stuff." games as art indeed

ultimateframedata.com/sf6/ it's really bad. UFD just had gifs of SF6 moves with hitboxes visible. they're claiming that data extraction like this is against their TOS. probably older games are safe but if they keep pressing this with SF6 i can't imagine many sites will want to host capcom resources

the idea that you're allowed to play a game entirely determined by hitboxes, frame data, move properties, etc. and experience the interplay of those with your senses, but you are NOT allowed to document them with numbers and images, is fucking crazy and stupid. get the fuck outta here Capcom

when framedata is a crime, all good players will be criminals

The reason you have to wait so long at the baggage carousel is because the airport is a loading screen in disguise.
