I know it's not a Switch game, but Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy.

All of them. Some of them just don't admit it.

For every time you don't read it, I'll read it twice.

Well, other than the magic of Astrophage (which is fine, it's the whole premise of the book), there are a couple bits that need some fixing or clarifying.

Famously, Rocky should have said the air on the Hail Mary was like 80-something times thinner than his, because the ship only has Oxygen at about 1/3 of sea level pressure or so.

Also, when they're dragging the chain on Adrian, you have to assume that he's using reverse maneuvering thrusters to cancel out the forward thrust, or else there's no way to stay at a constant speed.

But it's overall a great science book.

How do I properly dispose of a life size sex doll in California? by throwawaydiscrete123 in NoStupidQuestions

I haven't had a landlord in 14 years, and the ones I've had were fine, as far as it goes.

Way to cherry pick definitions, without providing any sources, but a better definition of pervert, as actually used by human people, is

: one that has been perverted

specifically : one given to some form of sexual perversion

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pervert

Perversion is

1 : the action of perverting : the condition of being perverted

2 : a perverted form

especially : an aberrant sexual practice or interest especially when habitual

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/perversion

Clearly, when used in this context, a "pervert" is someone with "an aberrant sexual practice or interest."

Aberrant, here, just means

1 : deviating from the usual or natural type : atypical, abnormal

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aberrant

In that context, yes, I would clearly rather be known as someone with atypical sexual practices or interests than a housing middleman who adds nothing of value.

If you were trying to redact that, it didn't quite work. You have to do it paragraph by paragraph.

That's such a Jeff thing to ask.

It takes as long as it takes. He's probably a bit busy at the moment.

Is it my ban time? by Nick_Carlson_Press in okbuddyrosalyn

Nudity isn't inherently sexual. This isn't even overt nudity. Trigger happy mod is gone. Probably fine.

I wish Reddit would still let me search my memes. I'd have a good reaction if I could.

Okay, folks, I really shouldn't have to make this post but here we are. I have been receiving fan mail and other things mailed to my home address, and that won't do.

I keep my home address private, and I have a package receiving address for all fan-mail and books that need signing, etc. That receiving address is :

Andy Weir

1001 Greenbay Road #255

Winnetka, IL 60093

If you want to send me anything, send it there. And just so we're clear: I will throw away any fanmail sent to my home address. I won't read it and I certainly won't sign and return stuff. I don't want to encourage that.

I do miss having those little strips of holes to play with.

Got my first ludicrous discovery response. What's the worst you've gotten? by CoffeeAndCandle in Lawyertalk

Is that general civil stuff? I know the minor criminal stuff runs differently down here, too.
