I never fully grasped the true scale of a single galaxy (and then expanded that understanding to the observable universe) until I hopped in my ship in Elite Dangerous and actually set off to cross one. Holy fucking shit, does it really help put it into perspective when you’re traveling between vast galactic arms, hopping individual stars 50-70 Ly at a time and trying your damndest not to stretch yourself too thin in fear of running out of scoopable fuel/stars.

If I were an Astronomy teacher, Elite would be my most profound and precious tool.

Costco every fucking day…

Holy fuck, I just looked up the record. Not what I was expecting at all. It looks like one of those 700 lb. people who can’t roll off of their futon. Even the underside is shockingly similar.

Don’t mind if I do!

Are you talking Australian Kmart or North American? In North America it was minimum wage for the vast majority of workers and zero benefits. I only made $11 USD (my store went under in 2016) as a supervisor with keys to the store and the safe, so it was a pretty shit arrangement. But it was a good stepping stone that got me into managing within the grocery industry, where I’m making significantly more for much more palatable work.

As a former PM Supervisor at Kmart, I think I just got mildly triggered by the K-Mart’s store closing part. That liquidation process was hands down the most monumentally stressful and hellish period of my life. Fuck that company and everyone who turned up to plunder it.

“Holy FUCK, boys! He looks t’ be about a ten footer!”

You have to really lean in on the words to properly express your italicized voice. You almost have to sound like an asshole. Like a somewhat sarcastic asshole…

I’ve heard The Walking Dead comics are actually quite solid, and differ substantially from the TV series. I’d love to see a faithful animation adaptation done in comic-style art.

Maybe they can put his tiny dick on display.

I have a Hisense Google TV, so it may be on Android-based? I never considered looking for an emulator on the TV itself. Not sure how to add ROMs to my TV, but I can certainly store them on the flash drive I’ve been using for movies and shows.

All of the SNES Classics I’ve found are either counterfeits, or listed on marketplace for $200, stating that they usually sell for $400, so I have to assume those are probably counterfeit as well. It sucks because I remember seeing one years back at a Bed Bath & Beyond of all places, but wasn’t financially stable enough at the time to sensibly buy one. Regretting that in 2025.

But an SNES Classic would be incredible, if only for the aesthetic and knowing it’s all going to work through HDMI.

I need to find a good guide for putting a Raspberry Pi together and setting it up for emulation.

… reply pls

“I have mild diarrhea. What is the best way to dispose of a human body?”

“This!”

“Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”

Why do they have to say the things? People don’t say the things here.

Was Ernest okay?

Licocaine is my favorite topical product. I have deep cracks in the corners of my finger tips (the antibacterial soap at work destroys my skin) and smearing a small glob of ointment with lidocaine down into them is the highlight of my day.

Every now and then I just save the German memes and send them to my English group chats to make sure they’re confused too.

Centipedes are the absolute worst of the worst in terms of disturbing insects. I can’t even look at one without my brain vividly simulating the way all of those crispy little legs would feel clinging along the length of my arm.
