To be fair, if falling from the sky and lodging halfway in the ground didn’t set it off, they’re probably unlikely to do much by kicking it

If someone was between 6 and 10 when the first game came out, they're in their early to mid 30s now. I still get excited when a new Zelda game comes out, and even if Braksgirl didn't post here we'd still be aware there's a poo poo ton of adult Disney fans. Same sorta thing. Also, when it was on I knew a bunch of (technically) adults who would get super high and watch teletubbies. This was in a college dorm, hence the (technically) qualification.

It’s all relative. Mario/Zelda/Marvel/DC, tons of people just like what they grew up with. But everyone’s music sucks except mine.

I don't flip a poo poo for Pokemon but I'll buy one every few years or so to tap the nostalgia button. Ill probably get scarlet or velvet because Arceus didn't snag me but those little dudes do

Yeah I think I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago but it’s really tempting me to hunt down a PS5 and get a new wheel set up (or wait until FM7/XBox Series X) I used to have so much fun with Goon racing in Forza Motorsport 4

There's a chance I'd still be at the company I worked for the longest (6 years) if we hadn't been acquired by a big, dumb global corporation. One of the plants from a different division than what I worked in was sold by the big, dumb global corporation recently. They posted an opening for a development engineer role, which is what I was doing when I enjoyed being at the pre-acquisition company. Some of the people I worked with migrated to that division before it was sold, and I talked to one of them for about a half hour the other night to see if it was worth applying for. She gave me a very realistic background, and it sounds pretty great. Spent a chunk of the weekend resume polishing, and finally submitted it this afternoon. Got a text from their HR system 8 minutes later that was signed by the HR person who was at my plant when I left saying it was great to hear from me, and asking to schedule a call with the hiring manager for some time this week.

Love that libs are going to do Palmer Raid poo poo against the DSA at this point with how unhinged they've gotten by our stance on Ukraine and Russia being "Putin invasion bad, NATO bad, all of this is bad, solidarity with the Ukrainians in the middle of this shitstorm"

Not the best start to my new job, was supposed to begin work an hour from now but with the whole city being flooded 4 of the major arterial roads I'd need to get to the office are closed / flooded. At least my new boss is reasonable about it all and said to stay home and safe and wait and see what happens tonight with the flood waters. Bit of a load off. Want to just get to work and get into a routine and start learning the new gig but I think it's a good sign they didn't just tell me to find an alternate route or to make an effort or something.

Yeah man, that’s a great omen. If they told me to come in during a once-a-century flood or something I would probably go ahead and start looking for a new job again.

There's a saying called "Turn around, don't drown" because people see running water going over a road and think "I can get through that." Announcer's voice "They did not get through that."

Here they say "if its flooded forget it". It's pretty smart advice. I'd never take a risk anyway because I'm i drive a corolla hatch back but I'm amazed at the risks some people take. Guess I'll put my feet up for the day and relax.

Basically any water above ankle deep is enough to knock you off your feet. If its below your ankle, you should be able to get across carefully, but not always.

We've done pot lucks before with our group, but with mostly young dude programmers it was like at least half store bought stuff. Man, that must've been at least 7 years ago at this point. I am getting so loving old. Anyway, this will help keep me young, yes that's who you think it is https://twitter.com/JordanUhl/status/1498068501772357637

Go track down the State of Play video from a couple weeks back and enjoy. And yeah, it should run well - it’s basically GT Sport, and that still runs and looks well enough to me on a base PS4. I’m picking it up at launch so if you need a guinea pig I can report back. Everybody’s out here talking about Elden Ring, and I just want to soak in the warm waters of my J-jazz racing game. https://youtu.be/JinuPZ7FG8Y

I’ve only bought RDR2 at release and generally won’t otherwise but I may just pull the trigger on this one.Salvor_Hardin posted:I didn't expect to win because I made a lentil chili as a show of solidarity with the one vegan in the office but that still rankled me. At least it’s a chili. And vegan recipes own.

Let people like what they want. I got into Pokemon (games mostly, but I did watch the show) when I was 20 and I really don't give a poo poo what anyone thinks about it. I am 43 years old and I still like Pokemon and it's something I can talk about and play with my kids. My 10 year old and I played Pokemon Go while waiting for a Mardi Gras parade today. Yeah, I'm a weird rear end Disney adult too. I am a middle aged mother of three and there's a fuckton of poo poo I have to be an adult about in life, but goddamn it, I like a cute cartoon animal. Let me have that.

The thing is, you don't know where the roadbed actually is. It might be shallow water, or the road may be washed out and suddenly it's several feet deeper than you thought. Never ever cross a flooded roadway where you can't see the road.
