People said the same thing about not smoking in restaurants in the US when it was outlawed, but now it would seem crazy to smoke indoors

My mostly robot body doesn’t need clothes in the future

I don’t think it is inconvenient, i think it’s that this little things, putting a record on, smelling new books, turning pages, physically choosing a movie. Are tactile motions, that let you anticipate the excitement of something while also tying you to the choice more concretely than an app cloud

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

My dog is absolutely dumb, 100%, & I wouldn't have it any other way. You don't want a smart dog. You want a dumb dog. I promise. You ain't got time for a malinois. You gonna log 10mi a day w a husky that can jump an 8' fence? You wanna hide things for your scent hound? Dumb dogs is where it's at.

Me: give it to me in terms I can understand

Mamdani: ok so in Mario Kart

Me: yes, ok, locked in

Someone should have told my parents if they wanted to get their kid away from military history, they should have just given that kid a baseball almanac

Brought to you by me trying to manage a fantasy baseball team

Im a sucker for sfx

Welp i know what i’m watching this weekend!

I can confirm from my friend group that yes, yes they do very much enjoy it

I dont play souls but i do very much enjoy monster hunter

Is this a bad time to say this is my Escape From New York? Because I’ve never seen escape from new york?

Not to shill for a YouTuber, but wolfey-VGC does a lot of off meta stuff with competitive Pokemon, which feeds into my i’d rather have fun than win brain

Welp I found my reading list for the year!

Commenting to as I’m continuously doing research for my 15mm Canadians, instead of you know painting

I don't deny that dogs can sometimes be quite lovely but what I will say is I don't trust their opinions. If a cat recommended me an album it had bought, I'd totally check it out. If a dog did the same, I'd promise to listen to the album, out of politeness, with no intention of actually doing so

TTRPG with old-school "you can die in character creation" mechanics, except most terminal events are stuff like "reached adulthood with no major traumas" or "found a love of carpentry", so your goal is to make enough bad life choices that your character is a big enough loser to become an adventurer.

No one tell her about the scientist not consulting us when naming animals after Pokemon

“How dare the four people who strapped themselves onto a rocket and braved the dangers of space get any sort of preferential treatment vs us whose souls are weighed down by gravity”

Is a very threads take

low stakes take but one I feel pretty strongly: trying to make some pop culture character into a D&D or Pathfinder character sheet is bad for D&D/Pathfinder.

if Hayley Williams drafted me to fight Morgan Wallen, she would have my sword cane no question

Nah just fake honey pot them, and castrate the failures

Listen, i need more funny named teams to comeback and disappear every couple seasons

(They wont)

Best Star Trek crew, Wrong answers only:

Technically I failed, because these would totally be the best crew.

Sure it’s “too many” capabilities on one platform, but if we can just get submarine carriers off the ground, and 30 in armed “gun boats” we’re already in a much cooler sci-fi future

Wait really? That’s on me for listening to reels, but I absolutely adore the movie regardless as it was my introduction to the genre as a kid

Hear me out, if we’re going big, why jot submarine aircraft carrier with 30-inch guns

a Un-corking if you will…

Are we talking single or double turrets here? I don’t think we can fit that into a triple
