Does anyone have the quotes about horses being insanely stupid and taking any excuse to kill themselves, whether it being from scaring themselves to death or seeing their own reflection and just dropping dead

Requested so often it's the second post in the funny quote thread. Unfortunately that person left out the non-Ruddha interjection about how horses are so dumb that if you ride them for laps around a track they will get spooked by the exact same thing every time.
God, yes. It is easily the funniest thing I have ever read on the internet in 20ish years and I couldn't find it from googling

For those who might be interested in the Hot New Thing Sweeping The Speedrunning Scene, I've been updating a playlist of great-to-decent Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past Randomizer races. I've mentioned it in the past but there's a massive tournament going on, over 200 races at this point, and I've been collecting the runs that are worth a drat in a single playlist and cutting out the chaff(most squashes, newbies, arbitrary forfeits, etc). It's shockingly addicting to watch, it shuffles every chest-based and loose(heart containers etc) items in the item pool, so you could find 20 rupees in the first chest, or you could find the Silver Arrows, for example.

Here is the playlist

Here is a sample race with fantastic commentary to give you an idea of what Randomizer Races are all about. It's a super fun one too.

Lol well that explains some of it at least

So they're trying to adapt a skeevy comic into something not skeevy? Or am I misunderstanding you
Dragon Maid as a manga is totally not safe for work. Dragon Maid as an anime is like 95% safe for work. The manga is so questionable they wrote out an entire character and her arc because she might as well be named Tits the Problemagic Dragon.

The Lucoa thing becomes a sibling-type scenario rather than anything romantic in the anime outside of that one unsettling bit in that one episode. I really don't know what's up with that one episode considering, overall, the show's pretty heartwarming and cute and is basically about two mommies and their daughter.

The tie-in comic for the Injustice games is unbelievably good. It was supposed to be 6 issues long but got turned into an ongoing due to unexpected financial and critical success. But neither game's actual story is very good at all outside of a few moments and I'm shocked that anyone is praising them. I mean I guess by fighting game standards it's good, because loving look at any given bad Capcom fighter's awful story, but man. That's a low bar to clear.
The one thing I know about the injustice comic is green arrow died in the injustice universe, and the one currently there was sucked into it from another universe. Except the injustice GA was apparently a billionaire Bruce Wayne type, married to black canary, and has a newborn child with her. So he just kinda inherits that poo poo lol

Player Unknown Battlegrounds? It's a Battle Royale-style game where 100 players are airdropped onto an island(you choose when you drop) and you scrounge for gear to kill everyone else with. It's apparently super fun and way better than those survival games like DayZ that it seems to be most commonly associated with.

this entire stream archive by Team Poor Life Choices is worth watching, but this round of Ultimate Chicken Horse in particular is something special. The framerate is a little poor due to an issue with streaming apparently.

Terraria had that happen with a test build given out to a streamer. He tried to hold it hostage, but redigit didn't fall for it, so he dumped it online. Fearing it would hurt sales, redigit released terraria earlier than planned, though in a finished enough state. The leaked version was a pretty lovely version anyways and still had final fantasy sprites for the player character.

you ever have one of those days where you're rip-roarin' ready to go and get stuff DONE, and then you set everything up and then realize something critical is missing that shouldn't be and no matter what you can't find it, and suddenly you just don't feel like doing a single god drat thing anymore for the rest of the day

in this case I had a whole lot of things I was going to sell, I remember spending half an entire day laying everything out and taking nice photos of every single item before putting them in bags and storing away until they sell, but it seems those photos just vanished into the loving aether because they're nowhere to be found, and now I'm just slouching here half-heartedly clicking on video game LP videos because I've lost my motivation altogether

the new wolfenstein trailer showing a nazi soldier palling around with a pair of klansmen is pretty effective imagery. hopefully we get some payoff on that.
I know it'd never happen but I'd love to see some more well known game podcasts just put out an all-politics episode where they talk about how hosed things are right now. It's very easy to get stuck inside a bubble of distraction and be insulated from the dire state things are in.

A few have skirted around it and have obviously kept silent on it because it is very much a powder keg, but it's really obvious a lot are super upset about the direction things have gone in the US, regardless of the reasons for last year's election results, and have had to hold back in response to a lot of poo poo they want to say something about. I think the closest I've heard one come to just discussing it outright is when Palmer Lucky was revealed to be a just truly abhorrent piece of poo poo and Giant Bomb marked him as their Hottest Mess of 2016 during GOTY discussions and actually delved into why a bit.

The best one-liner I've heard from them was when COD was revealed to be going back to WW2 and Jeff Gerstmann said "Sometimes people need to be reminded that Nazis should be on the wrong end of the gun."

There was an overwhelming amount of anti-Hillary memes and image macros during the campaign suffusing every corner of the internet, and it's difficult to tell how much of it was the team Palmer specifically hired to spam memes 24/7, but it was probably a significant percentage. I don't know how you can accurately measure the effect of that kind of thing on voter turnout or whatever, and the GOP certainly laid the groundwork for the preception of Hillary as Satan, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that Palmer's kek squad is why we have Trump as president.
Russia had full blown meme factories(seriously.) and misinformation centers running through the campaign (they are still active, the millions of twitter bots for example), that's the majority of where all that came from. Palmer Lucky certainly didn't help things with his contributions though.

You mean the first remake, right? This looks to be a pretty significant one while the other remake was to just get it running on PS3, wasn't it? This looks to be an actual graphical upgrade and I wager also to run smoothly no matter what, which was a massive issue with the original game.

I'm really kind of bad at "making my own fun" in games and for me the most enjoyment usually comes out of executing something really well or getting into an involved story.
I'm somewhat the opposite, while I do enjoy a good, well-written story, I also greatly enjoy aimless wandering in games like Minecraft or Breath of the Wild. In MC for example on and off I've spent the last 6 days totally underground, never reaching the surface, subsisting entirely off Zombie Jerky(rotten flesh + 2x Salt) and using abandoned mineshafts for a wood supply. Eventually I found a cavern so huge it went from bedrock to the surface, and when I emerged, I found I was a solid 5 minutes straight walk from where I went underground(that's a pretty serious distance even if walking unimpeded over land, let alone through underground caves). So I decided to build a massive stone-and-iron fortress protecting that one tiny hole into the endless undergrounds, complete with corner towers with parapets. It's a small fort, but I will probably expand it. It's mostly to be a landmark and storage facility. The bonus of stair blocks molding to be corner pieces based on location is really handy for detailing, too.



and the fort at night, in a snowstorm, and during the day
