The thing about Monty Python and other sketch shows is that while sometimes the gag was "lol, it's a man in a dress" a lot of the time it's a man in a dress just because the main cast is all cis men and otherwise they wouldn't be in the sketch, the humor comes from other things. For every "Lumberjack song" there's three or four sketches that's just a husband and wife arguing.

I believe this is what's called hitting two birds with one stone Edit: Also, as an experienced programmer including video games, Jon Blow is trash and none of us take his terrible code seriously

The great thing about shotgun guy is apparently he plays loving cod of all games. Like yeah mate if all you play is loving cod you're gonna have dumb views about shooters.

Super glad that I didn't make that post the other day saying why I agreed with him and was willing to die on that hill. I still am but I'm not going to talk about it.

I would be curious to read it but mostly it's just weird that he would make sweeping statements about the entire FPS genre based on playing competitive multiplayer cod. Like you will pry stalking through the swamp hunting bloodsuckers with an old rusty over under in STALKER from my cold dead hands.

Honestly most Monty Python sketches wouldn't be nearly as funny if the female characters weren't being played by the Pythons in dowdy floral house dresses shrieking in high-pitched voices (especially all 6'5" of John Cleese). It just adds another layer of madness to the proceedings.

And it's all over Uncle Bob, who was an influential person in the programming community, being disinvited from speaking at a virtual conference because other speakers did not want to speak if he was there due to his previously expressed super lovely political opinions. He wrote a blog about it where he talked about how he thought he could successfully sue the conference and the speakers who didn't want him there but he wouldn't because he was so gracious. His friend at the conference also totally 100% for sure told Uncle Bob that he is "scared to death of these people."

Michael Palin was pretty good too.

Oh god I read Uncle Bob's blog post on it, which includes this gemquote:Could I sue them? Certainly. I won’t, for the same reason that I’m not going to sue the conference organizers. And, frankly, suing people for such small potatoes just isn’t worth the trouble. But, like I said, next time I do a pro-bono talk I’ll have the conference organizers agree to the value that I’m deriving in return for using my name and likeness on their website. Then I can sue them, and any tortious interferers, for that sum and punitive damages too. Vincent Van Goatse posted:I don't remember why I'm supposed to remember who Jonathan Blow is. Does that make me the idiot? He made the platformer about the sad boy that stole it's basic mechanic from the Prince of Persia remakes.

Jonathan Blow's game The Witness ends by quoting a verse from the Diamond Sutra that relates to the game's themes, but he cut out the first line so it's gibberish to anyone who doesn't already know what that verse is about.

Why were people upset at Uncle Bob speaking in the first place. Having read his take on being cancelled, I fully believe he's a gently caress head, just curious which flavor.

Skwirl posted:https://twitter.com/neonwario/status/1305168495752216578?s=20 I know it's a joke, but I'm imagining kind of the inverse. Lower BAC level the faster you're going. If you're going like 10 or 20 kph, it's the regular BAC that is now (for example). At 20-50 it's slightly lower. Above 50 even lower etc Well it would probably just result into more cops being cops, but oh well
