Nuclear-Spearman: Huuuun, where’s my atl-atl?!?

Honey: I put it away! Don’t you think about running off doing no nuclear-do!

Huh. The funeral isn’t far off from reality, but all I can hear for the other two are really weird sounding sad tracks.

I think it’s less “good jazz,” and more ‘jazz that fits the mood.’

I don’t want to listen to thrasher metal when I’m sitting in an italian restaurant, introducing my date to the family, and I don’t want to listen to jazz when it’s inappropriate.* I remember reading the blog of the Doom soundtrack, and he talked about the difficulty in creating soundtracks because you have to take music that was meshed to visual, auditory, and psychological happenings and create ‘just’ a piece. Going the other way, how difficult must it be to take musical compositions and match them well to gameplay… it blows my mind that there are people out there who do it so well, because there are definitely games that I loved because it was just a perfect combo, and others where they were saved from mediocrity with the addition of the right sound.

*Aside, I was trying to think an example of when jazz in a game was inappropriate, and couldn’t. Take from that what you will.

I still don’t know why people use the toilet and don’t close the lid. WTF is it there for it you ALWAYS leave it open?

Damn you and your mouth-watering memory inducers!

Some classics are good enough to read. The problem is in forcing kids to try to do in-depth analysis. Even Charles Dickens or Charlotte Bronte isn’t all that bad to read, until you are squinting at every third word and wondering if this could mean something in the context of the whole book and just maybe you can write about it well enough in your stupid journal that you really want a B in so your parents don’t whip you with the belt again.

Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word “school”, but I only saw a single one with “#school”.

Aye, but if that’s the case, if people suddenly started using #school as a ‘hashtag’ for their posts, you’d have the same issue with finding many instances of the word. It’s just unique right now.

I tried a while ago to get SC2 working, but didn’t have luck. Are there any tricks to it these days?

Aye, the first time a blue jay tore the head off of a smaller bird in its nest was a real head turner for me.

Yeah, that’s the part that always gets downplayed in these ‘homeowner revenge’ stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.

I love the little aside about the rust. Some journalists still have fun.

It’s okay, we’re in this together. Though, my rig runs just about everything at medium graphics without issue. Elden ring ran on high settings without dropping my frames to a noticeable level.

I once found a donkey. It was as desperate for attention as I was to not be working at the moment. Things worked out.

Remove the historic paintings during renovation, at least. Surely it would be possible to rig up some sort of sprinkler system as well. Firefighter access to the roof may be difficult once the fire is blazing, but maybe some mitigation systems could be installed before the blowtorches and welders come out.

Look up the CCPgrey video about who holds the keys to the kingdom. Napoleon wasn’t necessarily being dismissive when he called England a nation of merchants. They were very good at organizing power structures in ways that benefited them.

That seems like the background behind quite a few conservatives. Endeavor, fail, then pivot to the easy methods of riling up fuds.

There, there, buddy. You don’t have to listen to all the hate. Just screen the hate from your life. Put a big ole metal grating in front of the flow of pejoratives and catch them before they hit your brain space.

Good god, there are still people who believe in phrenology!

Think of the children!

I’ll believe they’re thinking of the children when they use that phrase to make laws that agree with the environmental groups and governing bodies.

Jesus, my friend cycles between mechanical efficiency and sexual orientations like a clown in a stripper juggling show. Now I know why!
