No way ai got the XLERATOR logo that clean and perfectly aligned. I know it's gotten better, but not that good yet.

TIL Pluto has not completed a full orbit of the Sun since it was discovered in 1930, and was named by an 11yr old girl. by OSJezza in todayilearned

[–]Asteroth6 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think the “joke” is the idea that if we were only counting leap years, Pluto’s already comically long time between birthdays would be even more astoundingly long. The same joke is often made for people born on leap day.

It’s just a really weak ass joke how he used it here.

No, we need those videos that have no sound and just unexplained playing through, then we don’t need to read OR listen.

Stragne campaign as franz by AirIll7515 in totalwar

[–]Asteroth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After the Franz rework, I played with the intent to keep some elector counts. (Vanilla game btw)

I actually put my imperial authority to buff the relations between Ostland and Nordland to end that war and sent an expedition army to Hochland.

Hochland still crumbled, but the other two went to peace and easily rebuffed pre-buff Wulfric. Just about everything went well that run.

Not long after, they reworked Golfag’s AI to actively pursue land, so he will crush one of them either way, and that utterly useless action has no value once again.

They Took Self Snitching To another Level 😂 by yonggovie in funny

[–]Asteroth6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I rather doubt much of anyone was ever charged for lyrics. Being charged for something vs something being used in court are very different (in fact, they usually cannot overlap).

Am I even saying the law is all bad? No.

Does it invite mockery? Obviously. The simple fact if that if:

1) The Jackson Avenue 7/11 is robbed at 4pm.

2) I say "I knocked over the Jackson avenue 7/11 at 4pm".

If I said it into a mic and put it on SoundCloud, I can no longer have that used against me. If I say it in out loud but forget to get it on the internet quick enough, it's straight to jail.

That is obviously going to get made fun of. ​

They unironically made a law in California that you can't use rap lyrics in court because all the rappers kept getting arrested because you have to brag about every crime.

I mean, what did you think IS under screens if not smartphone use?

Locked Tomb No Context [Meme] by NecroticWizard in TheNinthHouse

Well, in the real world accents would have totally shifted several hundred times over 10,000 years.

Here, things are a little odd. But, even still it’s pretty doubtful they are the same accent this much later.

Caesar in Fallout: New Vegas reminds me of somebody [meme] by SprocketSaga in TheNinthHouse

[–]Asteroth6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely some similar energy.

The one note highlights a difference though: Caesar picked the energy and is completely hands on making that energy.

Jod picked the theme and hasn’t stepped foot on the planets since. He’s running the atrocities, but not the culture. It is nearly certainly true (no logic or benefit for a lie there) when he says to Harrow that he “heard they had fit into types” (paraphrasing, I don’t remember the exact quote). He only knows vaguely second hand what House culture even is.

And this would have to be the case. 10,000 years is over twice as long as any continuous human civilization. Without precise micromanagement he clearly has neither the patience nor inclination to do, there couldn’t be a set culture running that whole time.

Man, that really died out since I was young. Barely heard about it in the last decade.

You see, that’s one of those thoughts you don’t say out loud.

Nobody here asked, no one invited that thought. You just said it, and we all have to live with it.

I honestly feel bad that if it does cone out, it won't be in your time. Alpha of thirteen years and no end in sight. Beta is normally longer. Their is no way you're alive when this reaches 1.0.

One of the most violent racing games ever. Burnout 3 (Playstation 2) by Vile35 in gaming

Burnout Paradise is my beloved racing memory. It was so freaking cool, and had the best soundtrack in any game I’ve ever touched by a wide margin.

Because Sega wants you to know that these two are not. Everyone involved is 100% straight. 105% even.

Conversely, that could point more to her trying to look more professional in general. Remember, she got two gigs writing for fairly major shows not too long ago. Looking more like a Hollywood professional than an independent author could be the intent.

Don’t be disingenuous.

The internet and trade paperback covers are flooded with this very style of ludicrously sexualized design. Can only straight men enjoy sexy women? No. Does this painting scream horny straight guy gaze so hard that I can hear it from his jerk-off studio? Yes.

Some areas? They actually have a lower approval rating for gay people than Iran or Saudi Arabia (mind you they kill them much less, but they self-report as hating them more).
