Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.
There's an insane amount of overlap of "those degenerate druggies deserve to rot in prison for life" and "weed should never have been illegal and we should legalize it" around where I live.
In fact, the thing that brought it to my attention in the first place was a family friend and I talking about people we knew in highschool, and he mentioned how one guy got arrested for having "half a dozen" (sidenote: I feel saying half a dozen is trying to make "six" sound more impressive) pot plants and obviously was a "major dealer", and how he never would have guessed how evil some people are from how they were in highschool.
I asked him what ELSE he had to get 10 YEARS and of course the answer wasalong the lines of "no, that was it but what more do you need? Obviously a messed up guy"
And would you like to know why I called him a hypocritical piece of shit and decided to find someone else to talk to?
He pulls out a thc vape several times while we're talking. You can't mistake that smell for anything else.
I guess what makes men TRULY evil is whether mild thing they're doing is currently illegal or not. When it's legalized? Smoking is totally fine. When it's illegal? Smoking is bad and you are evil for even considering it. Know your place, Peasant.
Basically anyone who posts to Chevron7 or Ten Forward who has a profile picture... I recognize the pictures more than the names for most.
Personally, I don't want people to remember me, I just want someone to go "hey, I know what your profile is in reference to! Nerd-five!" and be on about our business.
Do.... Do people care what the REAL scarlet Johansson, Jennifer Aniston or Elton John have to say about Ukraine defending itself and it's people against a fascist invasion?
I mean, I find their stuff entertaining, sure, but like.... Why would I listen to their tactical analysis in the first place?
I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.
Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.
That might be approaching "too much" territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.
Honestly if that's even brought up, I will be amazed.
I sick and tired of people softballing questions at politicians, and even when they do lob a mildly difficult question, they never follow up or press when it's immediately dismissed.
I usually go with "long story shorter..." because I know no matter how much I try to condense things, my explanation will be long simply due to my need to over-explain.
You know, I really want to see things from piped over them...
But every time I try to watch, I get either an endlessly spinning broken circle, or "error: sign in to prove you aren't a bot" and I'm not gonna jump through hoops when a non-hoopy alternative is just.... Don't use the service.
My favorite part is all the inside jokes they pack in as well. You don't really get all of them as a viewer, but I've watched every episode with commentary, and a lot of interviews with a lot of the directors, producers, prop/costume/sfx people.
Nothing beats the "special effects coordinator" guy screaming BIGGER at everyone after they show him progressively larger explosive effects.
More like "we can never know the TRUE purpose of the broken column, but due to its obvious penis shape, it is widely accepted to have been religious or ceremonial in nature"
Edit: which now I'm wondering if that was the original meme
I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the "out of phase" episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it "their" version.
Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.
And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show "Wormhole X-treme" one of the main character parodies asks "if I'm out of phase, why don't I fall through the floor?" and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of "I'll have to get back to you on that"
Jokes on you, I can't grow a beard.
