I used to walk to Grandma’s every Wednesday after school for years. She made me my favourite every time: Beef tongue with green beans and mealy potatoes from her garden, all swimming in melted butter.

While we have tons of DND meme channels and some dedicated to tabletop RPGs in general, I would really love to see lemmy.world/c/dm_academy flourish. I got invaluable tips and feedback to the campaign I’m GM’ing.

People who listened to this music in their youth are turning fourty.

I don’t think you realise how long a billion years is.

Alpha actual to God hammer.

Requesting fire mission on my position.

Fire for effect.

I need a port on each side.

USB-C on the bottom.
3.5mm audio on top.
RJ45 on the left.
SCART on the right.

Well, start a garden in the weapons bay and everyone better get to work on the next generation of crew then.

Because of everything Amazon does and is I’ve completely stopped using Amazon a few years back and it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

Most small businesses have an online store and a very convenient ordering process. Hell, most even ship the next day. I go out of my way to try and find smaller businesses (who often have to charge for shipping) to order from, but if you just want to avoid Amazon, you can find larger outlets that don’t have shipping costs either.

If you need some weird stuff that you can’t seem to find anywhere but Amazon, try eBay.

And you won’t miss next day delivery very long, I can promise you that. You’ll even get to know a completely new joy: “Oh shit, I totally forgot I had ordered that!”

But you have those £300 million per week for the NHS now.

Just go into your local electronics store and pirate a gaming PC.

The point they’re making isn’t “This is just as bad, so it’s okay”.

The point they’re making is “This is just as bad, yet you always single out the one that has all the brown people”.

Schnitte (pl. Schnitten) is just (local) German for – also but not exclusively open faced – sandwiches.

Pump $11. Get $11 gas. Get $10 back. Spent $1.

Repeat three times.

Have $33 gas. Spent $3.

Math.

Good for you.

I constantly have to guard my stuff against my gf who has minimalist tendencies. She doesn’t get that I like having stuff around that I pick up once every three years. It brings back memories for me. Also, who throws out books because they’ve read them? Heresy, I say!

Spec Ops: The Line

It’s story is based on Heart of Darkness, the same book Apocalypse Now was based on, so they share some commonalities.

Gameplay wise it’s a pretty standard 3rd person cover shooter, nothing really memorable.

But man that game fucks with your head and expectations of a shooter. While you mow down hordes of fellow American soldiers who have gone AWOL with their commander, the tone of the game constantly shifts ever so slightly. You lose people from your team, you get to be more and more vengeful and violent. And at first you think nothing of it, because that’s almost every shooter I’ve played.

But they let you see yourself in a mirror, so to say.

I think the first time it really hit me was when on one of the loading screen tooltips, that usually said stuff like “You can throw grenades back.” or “Flank your enemies.” it just said “Do you feel like a hero yet?”. Felt like I’d been punched in the gut. It gets more and more intense from there and I can’t really describe it all, because it’s been a decade or so and it was mostly the sum of a lot of smaller things.

I know some people called it corny and pretentious but it really stuck with me.

I am German and use Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, Threema and SMS because NO ONE CAN MAKE UP THEIR FUCKING MINDS!!!1!!11!

Some people seem to be extra confusing and contact me on multiple channels based on the moon cycle or whatever the fuck.

It’s a hilarious french comedy I keep going back to every couple of years.

I don’t know. I have never slept again since.

It has been nine years.
