Karen the Paranoid Android. "I think you ought to know I'm feeling very litigious."

"'Can I manage a vending machine?' Can I manage a vending machine? Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they're asking me to manage a vending machine. Life. Don't talk to me about life."

Welp. That's that for that.

I mean, Thalassophobia wouldn't be a terrible name for a video game.

If I understand the situation, they're rebranding an Asus ROG handheld, which I imagine isn't going to outsell the Steam Deck or whatever the thing Lenovo is shipping with both Windows or SteamOS on, because they're late to the game and they'll fuck it up somehow, and I give 50/50 odds that there will be an announcement that they're cancelling the next home console launch.

You know, I must have a skeleton of above average quality. I type on a normal keyboard with some bad habits and have done so since I was a teenager. You'd think I'd have carpal tunnel syndrome from wrist to ankle by now but no I'm in good shape.

I hear about these cases of inflation, like the fact a pack of gum cost 15 trillion Zimbabwe dollars, or immediately after WWII the German...reichmarke or whatever they called it, was so worthless it took a wheelbarrow full to buy a loaf of bread.

Where do I get a wheelbarrow full of uselessly inflated USD? It's not actually inflation, is it?

Inflation, yeah. The thing that has absolutely never been applied to wages?

Actually I like that one.

You know that cute thing vets do when they come out to the waiting room and call the cat's name?

They won't do that if you name your cat "Shithead".

I can think of two adventures you'll be going on a lot: Sunburn and wave slosh. Meh.

Games are getting more expensive. Console prices are going nuts; the Playstation 2 launched at $299 USD.

Wages have been stagnant longer than I've been alive. More and more people are struggling to make ends meet let alone buy luxuries like video games, particularly the young because of our kleptogeriocracy.

Younger folks often use video games as a hangout spot, because young folks hanging out together in public is a felony now. So they play the same few games for tens of thousands of hours. Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, I think the crowd that spend their adolescences in Garrysmod are in the attrition phase. You've already got a copy of these games, why buy another?

A lot of studios are being closed because business major's gonna business. Fuck brand recognition or loyalty, fuck development talent, fuck community building, fuck long-term strategy, we can realize a gain right now by sowing half the planet with salt, so that's what we're going to do. So what is there for people to buy?

That noise you heard last week was Xbox's death rattle. One out of the three mainstream home console platforms is an outright stupid idea to buy now.

I think this is the left-handed way.

Depends on the kind of "lost at sea"

In a perfectly functioning oceanworthy boat stocked with food, but the GPS fell overboard and I have no idea where I am so I'm going to sail West as much as I can until I hit land, then sail counter-clockwise around the coast until I find something I can identify or someone I can ask? Sure let's go.

Ship sank, I'm alone in an inflatable raft with a flare gun and a blinkenlight? Nah you go ahead.

Well on some popular image board like one of the hundreds of cat subs on Reddit, how do you identify a "listener" who is looking for a particular user to upload a picture of an orange cat? Thousands of people will view that post perfectly innocently.

(I think they mean those of us who are literally left-hand dominant)

"Misogyny" is anything that a feminist doesn't like. Depending on the feminist, the grocery store being out of cinnamon raisin bagels is misogynist, because she wanted cinnamon raisin bagels.

How does that guy still have a job?

Frankly there are probably a lot of people who need to see their retirements go away and they need to spend their golden years in the mines. They need to have their elderly assholes penised apart for voting for this shit for decades.

No I think it's going to have to involve large numbers of perforated colons. Consequences should be physical.

Who said we're paying to house prisoners? The US constitution permits enslaving convicted felons. They're all going to the mines. They will WORK or be mutilated.
