I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

The first safe in those types of games is, out of tradition, always locked with the code 0451. If it for some reason isn't the first safe, it is in there somewhere because the people who make those kind of games remember their roots.

Edit: a bad snype.

Ever wanted to get rid of that annoying beeping when you get in the car but haven't put your seatbelt on yet?

Just follow these simple instructions:




I used to have a bunch of these stored up, but lost them :(

Some were just loving insane and went on for pages and involved poo poo like 'getting into and out of the car to trip the seat sensor, opening and closing windows and turning on the headlights multiple times' just to do things like turn off automatic daytime running lights.

I am shocked and baffled when people let skin infections go this far. If you bandage it and pay attention to the skin, clean and disinfect regularly with new bandaging you should be fine, even if the wound was procured under less than sanity circumstances (like say, branding). This person has straight-up neglected this wound for it to get this infected. How are they not smearing it in honey right now?

He needs to get to a doctor like yesterday and get that treated so he doesn't lose his drat arm. A guy I know ended up with an infection that he didn't treat and he ended up in the hospital for almost a month. The infection was in his arm and started to spread. They cut his arm open from wrist to shoulder so they could clean the infection while just pouring IV antibiotics in to him. I guess they kept reopening the wound on his arm every day so they could clean it over and over.

Hearing those motherfucking Protocol Droids ask if they can help me as I cower in the Cargo bay with a wrench and two rounds of AP ammo is still about the most heart-pounding moment I have ever had playing a video game.

I know it's not on topic, but I've played through SS2 on Hard or Impossible so many times I could almost draw a map of the Von Braun by heart, but no matter how much I prepare, the Deck 1 Cargo Bays are always tense as hell.

From what I understand, nope.

I've been watching Adam Savage's channel on YouTube lately, and he does a lot of costuming and I guess has pretty much his entire professional life, and apparently they're all hot and suck to wear. Maybe the furries and other lifestyle costume wearers have some secret, but I doubt it. I imagine they're just willing to deal with the discomfort.

I think I've heard the same of Disney park costumed performers, that it is mad unpleasant and so they have short rotations out in the park else they'd pass out.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.



You know, one time our family house had a wasp byke in our hedge. Like to know what we did?

Nothing.

We didn't bother them and they didn't bother us. It was really interesting seeing it grow (and occasionally seeing the queen) and at the end of summer we got an empty hive to bring into school.

THAT thing smelled god-awful, tho.

I'll never forget watching a guy knock a bee's nest off a tree with a broom, set it on fire with a can of hairspray and a cigarette lighter, then put a sheet of wood over it and STAMP ON IT. This was in Australia so that was probably an average way to do it. When they were done the guy (who was wearing nothing but a shorts and vest) was covered in stings. Head to toe. :australia:

Not derail back into immersive sims, but Warren called them that because they designed underlying systems and then let the players run amok in them. He knew he was onto something the very first time a player used landmines to climb a wall in Deus Ex, which none of the developers even knew was possible.

Here's a good video on systemic game design, which is not Schadenfreude but I guess i'm the SF in this case.

Wait hang on. The headlights during the day thing I can sort of understand - at least if it's not required in your country. But why do people disable their seatbelt sensors? Is it some sort of badge of honor to drive without having it on?

The seatbelt is more likely to kill you, by trapping you in the car. If you don't wear one, you're more likely to be thrown clear of the wreckage in the event of a crash.


(Is the argument against them, usually. Disabling the sensor is for people who want to drive without seatbelts anyway)

Professional mascot costume heads are made out of special foam which breathes really well (it's similar to the filters in airconditioners, really open and light) and often have tiny fans built into them but yeah, they still suck a lot.

There was a documentary series called 'Behind the Mask' which followed some mascots around over a few months. The professional NBA mascot pretty much had his poo poo together but was dogged by persistent injuries, the college mascot was so into his role that he'd put off graduation for a few years so he could keep going, the high school mascot was a :smith: kid on the spectrum who had such bad interpersonal skills that pretty much no one hung out with him unless he was in the costume.
