I can’t believe the democrats did it again, that is fucking hilarious.

least russophobic finn

of course it isn’t. our whole cultural identity is built off anti-russian brainrot. still celebrating the time our glorious leader mannerheim, butcherer of the reds and close friend of mr. hitler, won the continuation war so hard we had to give the soviets a solid tenth of our territory and billions in reparations as a consolation price.

fuck this place, the wrong side won the civil war.

Reminds me of a time long ago when a girl at the bar did the same thing to me with her handbag. She flashed the logo and twirled it around a bit and put it over her shoulder and did a little pose. It was nice, she was clearly very excited about her handbag. Might just have been me being young and horny, but I interpreted the situation like she expected me to be really impressed and maybe, you know, make a move on such a classy young lady like herself. Then she leaned in a bit as if to tell a secret, and I was getting fuckin ready to go, and she whispered “it cost 1400€ :P”. It was like a flashbang went off in my mind, so all I managed to do was shout “1400 euros!!! what the fuck is wrong with you!!!”, and she didn’t like that. It was the first time that I can remember that I encountered that kind of luxury. 1400 was like almost twice of what I lived off in a month!

aaah, I used to play the heck out of this with my brother… Our favourite was to set all the bots to 5-star melee-only monkeys on one team vs. the two of us. And the entire soundtrack is filled to the god damn brim with bangers. The Scrapyard music particular goes fucking hard. Certainly a formative moment in the development of my musical taste.

Oh jeez, I’m the most annoying person in the entire universe about this. Everyone actually likes king gizz, some just haven’t listened to the right album yet.

Oh jesus christ, this should be good. We all remember how fun privatizing the electrical grid was, yeah?

These people if anyone are the most based alpha chads in the universe. God damn

Okay I never thought I would say this, but this might be enough decades for one week. I have stuff to do, you know

Hell yeah dude

jesus christ it was right in front of us this entire time

Yeah, it’s was a thing in finland as well. idk what duraseal is, but I assume it’s that self-adhesive plastic wrap stuff (we called it contact plastic or something?). We could only use transparent wrap though, no fun allowed. Still, it was an important ritual I remember. New school year, 15 new books, let’s fucking go!! I was always really bad at it though, so my books would have creased wraps with tons of air bubbles. I thought it was really satisfying, so I’d (poorly) go home wrap my own books just for fun as well.

They have it for live streamed video chats as well. It does it meagre best to summarize what chat is popping off about at the moment. I don’t fucking get it, you can just read the chat? It’s right there? Who asked for this?

I’m on a project where we original had three devs, but two of them did exactly what is depicted in this image, so now there’s only me. There’s a proper god damn mountain of tech debt that keeps growing. At this point it’d take me probably a solid couple of months to sort it out, but of course the customer doesn’t want to pay for anything, because “what’s the problem, it’s still running”. All I can really do is glance at it every now and then, like that gif with richard ayoade and the fire from IT crowd. It’s a pretty big and widely used system too, so it’s gonna be a real biblical clusterfuck when it finally shits the bed.

for real, jesus christ. does “I can’t afford it” mean something else for other people??? I remember I had an acquaintance back when who just didn’t seem to get the concept of not affording something.

“come to the thing!” sorry I’m broke, I can’t afford it. “yeah okay but you could still come” bro what I literally have seventeen cents to my name “oof yeah I get it, but you could come though?” What, just fucking smooth-talk my way in without a ticket? “no man the tickets are cheap, come on, it’ll be fun”

They weren’t even out-of-touch-levels of rich or even all that well off. I never understood, and I never thought to ask them what they think “can’t afford” means. Wild.

Another week where a week happens. The N/T ratio is appearing to be a pretty accurate metric.

God damn Sacrifice, it was an RTS-esque third-person wizard game from 2000 or so. I remember the story and voice acting being quite good, and everything in that game being extremely weird looking. You could pick your god (thunder, fire, stone, life, and death IIRC) and they all had different spells and minions. You needed souls to summon minions, and you could get more souls by battling the other wizards’ minions and stealing their souls, by having some strange dudes with giant syringes take the souls and perform a ritual at one of your altars. The highest level spells were fucking awesome too, if you played as a fire wizard you could summon a giant god damn volcano on the battlefield. The goal was to sacrifice one of your minions at an enemy wizards main altar, and banish them from the realm (i.e. eliminate them from the game).

And holy fuck I’ve also just been informed that this game is available on Steam, brb

Hell yeah! Huge congratulations to mr largepenis.

Animal Well! There’s some incredibly obscure and esoteric puzzles in that game. Many of them are completely optional, but they’re so intriguing that I wanted to figure everything out anyway. I don’t think I’m anywhere near “done” yet, even though I beat the last boss already. You can unlock the ability draw on the map as well, so you can keep track of things.

Also maybe Noita? Completing a run and beating the last boss is basically just the tutorial, that game goes deep. There is an in-game achievement tracker for completing some unbelievably convoluted puzzles and challenges.
