The best part about Dinosaurs is how absolutely vicious it is. It loathes its audience.

Hang on just a second - do you not even get to see the actual dead queen lying there? It's just the closed coffin? And people are queuing for hours????

yes if you join the line now it's estimated you'll be waiting for 20 hours to see the coffin briefly the line is 5 miles long

There's a livestream if you'd like to watch a bunch of people shuffle into the room only to be immediately hurried to get out. And a bunch of losers kneeling and poo poo.

If the coffin were open, that would be weirder.

I’m just waiting for some Australian to bust in here and yell at everyone about how it’s a good normal thing to wait in lines for hours, then not be allowed to take a selfie with an empty coffin.

We didn't love the queen enough to line up for over 24 hours to look at a coffin. Many of us did love the queen enough to book the 23rd off work to get an extra day of mourning in though.

There’s some stuff in that game that might surprise you. One of the guys in town is a depressed alcoholic who doesn’t see any meaning in life and eventually passes out drunk on his bedroom floor. I learned this watching my kids play the game. It definitely has its tonal whiplash moments. No idea if this is real or not.

Literally the only person in town who drives is in the bar every minute she's not behind the wheel. She's also a pretty neglectful parent who lets her daughter do all the housework.

The other guy has serious mental health issues and I was legitimately afraid he might off himself until I did some googling because he’s 100% on that trajectory and I didn’t want to have a serious discussion about mental health and alcoholism with my kids over Stardew Valley

Platystemon posted:But how long is the wait in (Swatch, Internet) .beats? Oh, internet mapping's existed for loving ages, we're not talking about 'what3words exists without internet mapping at all'. We're talking about its use case sounding independently really good at its inception, but then Google Maps became commonplace enough that a lot of the reason you might have to use what3words as a regular everyday layperson is fairly shot, because you can just put an address into Google Maps and be good to go. There's a core use case where it doesn't overlap with Google Maps, and that's where you're directing someone to a place without an address. You need to point someone to Nowheresville in the middle of the countryside for whatever reason, what3words actually will get them there more reliably than a lot of other mapping solutions. I don't think that's necessarily very helpful for how they're handling the Queen's funeral, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of UK government workers use it for exactly that reason.

He gets on a slow path to recovery from there, but the game does contain a serious conversation about mental health and alcoholism.

Splicer posted:Imagine cutting in line in the early 90s i was at a rave, was a blast, at the end i was super drug hosed and just wanting a lie down but we were wandering towards the bus back to the train, wandering past this insane, endless snaking queue, maybe 10,000 people in this queue, it was just enormous. We're just kind of curious what's at the front of the queue, which turns out to be an empty double decker bus with the engine running. we get on, along with a bunch of other non english people, and it takes us to the train station. noone in the queue said a word. england is weird.
