A little over 3 months is my record. Mental health issues, naturally! 🥳 🎂 🎉

I never turn it on, the visual difference is too unimportant to warrant such a huge cost in hardware resources (and temperature). It looks different if you have side-by-side screenshots, or if you turn it off and on in-game, but if the difference is several orders of magnitude too slight to be worth it. Higher frames-per-second is more important than realistically-simulated light beams. You can’t really have both in large AAA games.

“Council Juice” in N. Ireland.

This was my first thought, too. Have to skip it when rewatching the show 😆

Her line in a later episode where she says “someone needs to protect this family from the man who protects this family” also hurts.

Only if you use the saliva-slick stick as a sounding rod for your pennish.

The pee-secreting gland that moves the pee into the kidney to be washed and warmed up before being passed into the bladder - a little dime-sized gland call the “Penguinal Class Action Monitor” - can sometimes become overactive and try to secrete too much urea at once, faster than the kidney can accept it. This causes something of a backlog, the medical term being “St. Bartholomew’s Lump Reversal”. It causes the gland to swell up with pee, something it’s not really equipped for given that it’s a gland and not a hollow chamber like the bladder, all while the kidney simply refuses to take even the normal a mount of pee because it’s guarding against possible infection upstream. The term for this is the “Immune Raster Verifier Cadence”, and this is likely the cause of the back pain you mentioned.

I am, in fact, a doctor. I have a degree in Major Arterial Anaphylaxis from the University of Chechetchistserster in England. The professor who taught me said I was the best student he’d ever had. Keep in mind, though, that he also once taught a little-known scientist by the name of Isaac Newton. Sooooooo… 🤷‍

Treatment: drink lots of alcohol and eat lots of cheese while watching copious amounts of pornography. It’s important you don’t move around too much by, say, going to work or doing chores, because the alcohol needs to be able to settle around your glands to cure them.

Either that or kidney stones.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I get huge, cringy ‘imposter syndrome’ vibes from him, like he knows he shouldn’t be doing this for a living but soldiers on regardless. I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

I hate that he became Scorsese’s new De Niro, and so when I hear of a new Scorsese film I get excited and then immediately lose interest knowing that DiCaprio is probably gonna be leading it. Literally every film he has done would have been better with a different actor.

Also Nicolas Cage. I get the memey antifan sort of thing that bolsters his career, but let’s be honest, there’s no hint of talent in the man. He has ruined what might have been great films. Bringing Out the Dead could have been a legit classic if not for his involvement.

To me it looks more like the transcript of a monkey asking for help because he’s choking.

When talking about the date with another human, DD/MM (+YYYY if required); when doing anything related to the sorting of files by date, YYYY/MM/DD.

It’s been 5 years since they pulled that reprehensible shit on RedCandleGames and their game Devotion, and I still haven’t spent a penny on their store because of it. Fuck them. Tankie cunts.

CONOR MCGREGOR IS A RAPIST

Judging by the difference in hours played between OP and the Geometry Dash review, I assume the comment became a copy pasta. Not sure what the original comment referred to though.

1. don’t be an idiot and 2) read the leaflet

Sounds like a messaging problem, despite the idiocy (or rather, because idiocy is the default). Like, I’m not silly enough to eat 4 boxes of paracetamol a day, but I’ve also read maybe 3 medication leaflets in my entire life, and I’ve been on literally dozens of antidepressants and antianxiety meds. I basically scan over the leaflet to see what sort of dick problems I can expect 😆

It’s like the Terms of Service of an iTunes update. No cunt is reading that shit. People just know “i make click i get music”, and “i swallow lump of chalk i feel better”.

The leaflets aren’t even written for laypeople to really understand them. Besides being in a 1pt font, they’re written in something bordering on legalese but with medical terms. “Contraindications”?? The fuck am I, Beatrice Pharmacist the inventor of pharmacism? I don’t blame people for getting 2 sentences in and giving up.

That said, the dosage is on the front of the box, and that should be enough for even the most imbecilic person. But if you lose the box and just have loose blister packs lying around for a year, you might go off the rails a little when the tooth pain kicks in.

It’s also the case that something as “basic” as paracetamol being such a widespread and easy-to-buy medication causes a strange lack of respect for its potential danger. Like “pop a pill when you have a headache” is so second nature to us. It becomes a non-threatening intervention that only becomes less threatening the older you get, because it’s just… there. So you don’t even feel the need to check the leaflet for side effects and such, because it’s ‘part of the furniture’ of our lives. This is the messaging problem I alluded to. You really gotta think about the dumbest person alive, and then aim for someone twice as dumb as that.

Same here, either Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 would be the dream (why not both in a fancy new Orange Box?)

Hell, a non-VR version of Alyx would make me happy! I do have access to a headset, but I get very sick very fast when I use it. Pounding headaches, nausea, it’s really bad 😒

Good for you man, that’s a really great watch 😊

Sad little men like that are most hurt by you not being offended by them. It’s like with internet trolls; non-engagement is the best weapon. It also happens to require the least amount of energy or time. So easy, but so devastating to their ego.

Much like a duck, the female cloaca has many false alleys and dead ends that are there to confuse and baffle the pennises of low-quality males whose semen is too weak to produce strong ducklings, but the duck can’t let the male know this because it will hurt his feelings, so the female directs the semen into one of those false dead end tubes instead and lets the male waddle away whistling and happy. Because of the waterpark slide of doom that is the female clunge, period blood can come from multiple sources, hence the Left and Right tampons, for cases where you need to use two at once. If you only use one when two are required, you will cause a pressure difference like when you press one nostril closed and blow out the other, which in the case of blood loss could prove fatal. Correct tamponning is no joke.

Why are they so excruciatingly slow to release patches? This patch doesn’t even cover game-breaking issues, such as the bow’s paralysis perk crashing the game if you trigger the perk twice in a row. There’s a workaround where you edit .ini files to set the chance of paralysis to 0%, but most people aren’t gonna do that.

I got 100% of the cheevos and logged 110 hours in doing so. The game crashed for me literally hundreds of times (maybe close to 1,000), and I submitted the bug reports for every one of them. I had to quicksave every minute, to avoid losing too much progress. It’s the most unstable piece of software I’ve ever used, game or otherwise.

The game itself is great, but fuck me… almost 2 months later and they patched maybe 0.2% of the crashes and bugs every player is encountering 😒

I remember when the emoji was an orange, because the update was called ‘Origins’ 😆 Sometimes the emojis are straightforward, but other times the connection to the update is beyond tenuous. I have no clue what this could be, assuming “cooking update” is too obvious.
