The world needs more silliness and whimsy. Don’t be afraid to be cringe, you will be free.

You also have an obligation to share the image when you take it.

He’s probably my favorite director at Nintendo. Played hundreds of hours of the original, too. Hopefully the original makes a comeback in their new GameCube NSO lineup.

I wish someone would do this to him with their fists. Maybe even a hammer.

This is where I’m at: a Synology running a few services like Plex for my family and friends. I’m hoping to learn more and help us all move from walled gardens even further. Some of Synology’s software can feel a little clunky to use but generally I’ve found it to work great despite my limited knowledge.

Shit, you’re right!

I second this opinion. The parties responsible absolutely need to be held accountable but due to the severe nature of the crime you absolutely have to protect yourself.

My devices are cringely named after songs in Haken’s discography.

Desktop is MESSIAH. Laptop is AFFINITY. Phone is NIGHTINGALE. Steam Deck is SHAPESHIFTER. Router (and its WAP) is PORTALS. My NAS is the only one that falls outside of this, it’s generically (last name)NetNAS. I should rename it, but I don’t want to break anything 😅

Eta: changed my NAS’ hostname is ARCHITECT. Nothing broke! Yay for me.

Especially when you compare it to New Leaf’s 13 million units sold, and was supported for way longer than Horizons.

The artificial lavender smell they put on those scented trash bags gives me migraines :/

Checking our local House elections this morning and seeing quite a bit of red. Stein is going to have a rough time like Cooper did, trying to get anything done. Luckily it looks like Dems are winning Attorney General and Lt. Governor (the position Robinson was).

No relation, thankfully!

Fellow NC friend! Greetings from Greensboro!

He is refusing to answer their calls.

Every time I see this opinion being shared I just imagine a tiny, angry Tim Sweeney throwing a tantrum because Valve bad. Why? Because… Because I said so, okay?!

One of my favorites. RIP Trevor Moore.

Interesting video. I think I’ve heard of it as an apple growing up in a Christian household.

Semi related, but I enjoy the Gnostic interpretation of the Forbidden Fruit story, in which the Serpent (aka Lucifer) tempts Eve with the fruit of knowledge to achieve Gnosis, so she may learn the true meaning of their existence (the understanding that God is not their true creator). This paints Lucifer as the hero and God, or Yaldabaoth in Gnosticism, as the villain.

There is a long-standing history of using fried chicken and watermelon (among other foods) to negatively depict Black People in the United States. I agree that both foods are excellent (watermelon even being a popular summertime fruit that can feed a lot of people), but having them together on Juneteenth (a day of celebration for the freedom of Black People) is pretty on the nose.

I know a few people who work for companies that acknowledge and give time off for Juneteenth. My company is not such a company, though.

Spectrum, even, treats Juneteenth like any other federal holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving. It’s basically a volunteer-first, lottery system for who gets time off and who has to work, but those that work get extra holiday pay and the call centers try and do something extra (like catering) for those that are working.

According to my friend who works there, it was red drink.

One of my all time favorite games from a wonderful developer. Haley, my beloved.
