I first heard Gamer Supps advertised on a Twitter shitpost account so I assumed it was a joke for a year or two. But no, it's a real company that sells processed snacks, energy drinks, and other assorted gruel to The Gamers™️, using extremely horny ads full of anime girls.

I still feel like it's 60% shitpost, it's such condescending marketing that I'm astounded it works. Honestly, I can't wait for other companies to catch on.

"You want to play games on this pc you simping goon? Install Windows 12 first, WinChan demands it of you, then purchase 3 crates of WinChan protein fluid to replenish the nutrients you jerked out while this ad was running. Do it sub, dommie mommie WinChan demands your tribute before allowing you to install more porn games."

She lost that dump truck ass the feather duster form had, change her back!

Huh, never saw this one but in high school I had a dream just like this. I met a beautiful woman, perfect in every way, we got married had some kids, I even got some ways into middle age. Then, I was sitting in chair and noticed that my vision seemed... blurry at the edges, in a very "vignette filter" kind of way and I immediately knew I was dreaming. Woke up just as the existential collapse started. For several years after I'd try to remember her face, what our love had felt like, any of the details that had seemed so solid and tantalizing real for those few sleeping hours.

In retrospect, a lot like that Rick and Morty episode with the life simulator game. I wonder if one of the writers ever had that dream too? Brains are weird, and I haven't any dreams nearly that all encompassing since.

Knives are also made of atoms

Same, once I saw the shoes the picture corrected itself (and i can't force myself to not see them now) but up until then it was like that duck/rabbit photo except both were.... something else.

Don't worry, once you get the job you'll discover that they lied about what the work is anyway. You thought the job was sitting quietly at a desk and solving little dev tasks. Actually that's 25% of the job, the rest is: 25% meetings where they make doing the little tasks harder, confusing, and miserable, 25% other tasks you aren't good at and that aren't part of your job, and the last 25% is more meetings about those other things. The ratios will adjust over time until only about 10% of your job is doing your job, and the other 90% is email and meetings.

Watch out for the cigarette smoking g'ould

I think this probably applies...

So Thief: The Dark Project (1999) and Thief 2: The Metal Age (2000), are a couple of classic stealth FPS games, proto-immersive-sims, and still some of my all time favorite games. They both use the Dark Engine, an in-house engine from the now defunt Looking Glass Studios, which also powered System Shock 2.

In 2010, the source code to a System Shock 2 port (for the dreamcast or ps2 iirc...) leaked online, and on 2012 someone used that code to create NewDark and TFix, patches to make these old games work on modern computers (and some bugfixes, support for HD, etc).

There are still updates regularly released for it too!

I must emphasize that these games are still sold on Steam, GOG, etc and this patch is essentially required for them to work. And these are hardly the only games like this, just the ones most personal to me. Retrogaming is built on the backs of unsung individual heroes who backwards-engineer, hack, patch, and mod their favorite games to keep them running for everyone long after the publishers have died or abandoned their work.

instructions unclear; adding rocks to brain for hard thinking

Remember when Humble Bundle was actually a charity and not just a charity-themed storefront owned by IGN?

Well, technically owned by IGN, a subsidiary of Ziff-Davis, formerly J2 Global, formerly Ziff-Davis.

I'm sure firing what was left of the employees with any commitment to the concept of HB and folding the brand under the rest of your e-commerce verticle will have no further adverse effects on the quality or usability of HB as a service.

Thankfully, it's not the commentary I was afraid he'd offered. JB sounds spineless in this, it was a joke and an honest expression of the very real existential fear people feel towards Trump rule.

I fucking hate this. Trump gets on mic everyday to wish death on some innocent groups of people but we're fucking forbidden from joking about it towards him?

Edit: I hope everyone who downvotes me gets very peacefully and nonviolently re-educated.

Possessed by the ghosts of the night's watch. sounds like someone should excorcise more often.
