If ther's on thing I hat, it's words ending with silent e's. And whil we'r at it, we ned to get rid of doubl e's as well.

Ba ba ba bum! Two, Three, Four!

50%? Sounds like a passing test to me.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Water will reach its own level so to speak, if a developer releases a game that is far too much for a majority of gamers to run, those gamers won't buy the game and it won't sell. Obviously that also isn't always necessarily true, but enough terribly optimized games have released recently to be met with 40% rating on Steam that I'd like to think this is the case. Are some developers going to do it anyway? Absolutely, but that's true regardless. I think that no matter what, indie developers will always tend to keep their games lightweight either by principle or by design necessity, and bigger game studios would also sorta get the message and keep their games reasonable. With obvious exceptions... goddamn 400 GB games these days.

As much as I really want another Chao Garden, I know the monkey's paw would love to grant my wish. Imagine:

Chao garden. You get 2 chao to start out with. Want to access another garden? $2.99 each. Want more chao? $4.99 per egg. You could feed them the fruit that grows natively in your garden, which raises their stamina slowly, or buy more fruit at $0.99 each. Or buy a fruit tree seed for $9.99, what a steal! Need a pack of tiny animals? 20 for $8.99!

While I doubt SEGA would stoop this low... it's not completely off the table.

i hate that almost every moon knight panel posted on the internet is fake

the dracula one hurt the most

I believe that Michael Collins was explicitly not mentioned because it was believed he was gonna make it back regardless. I'm not 100% certain, but I believe the speech was prepared for the (somewhat likely) scenario that Armstrong and Aldrin could not lift off from the surface of the moon due to failure or not enough fuel to meet up with Collins in the lunar orbiter to return to Earth.

Speech prepared if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were stuck on the moon:

IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

Already here

I think it goes both ways. Sports fans, clueless to the eSports scene, might say, "what's the fun in watching someone play video games when you could just play them?" And I could say the same, and indeed I regularly say as much: "why watch someone play basketball, let's just go play a pickup game."

I don't watch sports or esports, nor do I watch streamers very often, but I understand in all aspects that it's for the entertainment value. In picking a team/player, watching their improvement, attending their games, proudly sporting their merch, etc etc.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't let a clueless nobody disparage you doing what you enjoy.

honestly, hikigaya can be such an absolute chad sometimes

Reminds me of this Dead Internet Theory video.

We have a word for that too in English: Tuesday

return to your roots: use notepad

As a world leader in cybersecurity, recipient of a nobel prize, liquid billionaire, and hobbiest musician making #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, I agree.
