Man, Rotten'll have a renaissance if they plan on keeping the propellers like that...

Sexy!

Oh, sod off, Liz...

Although only as a disingenuously aloof retort meant to shift attention away from my worsening decrepitude:))) Theatre, nothing more.

Yeah, I saw it once I squinted. I'm gambling a lot on low-res pattern recognition in terms of visual acuity nowadays... Whatever, antelopes are basically just bougie deer, idec...

Dogs alone are enough of a reason to fix our shit.

Oh, god! Noo!

So... deer are mantids?! I thought they were alien reptilians... I'm so in the weeds...

I've seen this somewhere before... Maybe Rick & Morty, not sure, something very fleshy, compound eyes, and squiggly tentacles where the mouth would be... Or maybe Samurai Jack?

It's a Boomer joke, yes =))

It was a joke, an old running one, making light of people (frequently resurrected among Millenials) who have books on display. The jest is that people like to display books they'll never read in order to look smarter. Like the old trope of wearing glasses achieving the same goal.

I manually remove the auto upvote:D

I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven't read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.

Honestly, I don't think the action's the problem, I enjoyed creating interlinked databases with tens of thousands of entries in Spreadsheets. I think it's strictly to do with the complexity itself, I need more. I like the concept of every piece having a specific move set, I'd just need more of them. And add more complexity to them, but at that point may as well just play grand scale combat games, like 40k.

Edit: plus, to be honest, this lack of complexity doesn't even let me properly enjoy a victory. Maybe it has some fetishistic tinges at this point, but a protracted victory is so much sweeter, make me feel like I pulled my brain through high intensity training for a couple of hours. Either that, or something which can start acting as a reflex, like backgammon.

Disclaimer: not calling myself smart or anything.

I always found chess boring, for some reason. Like, not because it is too complex, but because it isn't complex enough, in a way. As an example, the first time I tried my hand at Medieval II: Total War, I fell in love with all things strategy.

I still can't do chess, though... It's like my mind goes to its happy place halfway through a match and I start making moves just to progress the game and be done with it. Gimme a 4X game, and I'd need reminders to pee every 12 hours.

...why?

Well, now they're just subverting expectations left and right, aren't they!

Oh, wow, I can't believe I forgot about that... Feels weird, like remembering the better times of past relationships, Jesus=))

At this point, something tells me you could find a compatibility layer for WinRAR support on some dingy forum which has heavy peepshow vibes. Never underestimate people's fetishes.
