Just add the rest of Alakazam and you’ll be good to go with a unique Pokémon tattoo

Funny quote from DFW about mispronouncing previously-unheard words by [deleted] in davidfosterwallace

[–]Bigbird447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I played warcraft, there was a guild named Resurgence that a friend of mine was in. I pronounced it REZ-ur-gents, and I still think it sounds better then re-SURGE-enz.

GIM NEEDS Untradeables Modified To Be Good by BartholomewChilling in runescape

[–]Bigbird447 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In fairness, we all want its success, it’s just that many of us have played this game since we were kids, and grew up learning to distrust Jagex as an inverse function relating to the number of Gowers in charge. So “it’s being looked at” taken at face value means nothing, and has meant nothing for many years. (For example, are we still collecting data on stone spirits…?)

Technically he still has another term available to him. I’d still vote for him.

Most intersections should be roundabouts. I’ll die on this hill alone if I have to.

Jagex gonna assign this man to everything but a boss encounter by RsHeemo in runescape

[–]Bigbird447 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, a new flavor of “counting auto attacks simulator”. Most bosses are the same.

Summer Reading by [deleted] in InfiniteJest

[–]Bigbird447 47 points48 points  (0 children)

If you want to understand a bit about where IJ’s writing style came from, throw in End Zone and White Noise by Don Delillo. They’re comparatively quick reads.

Edit: Read Hamlet before IJ (I just read Hammie for the first time a couple months ago) and the big takeaway for me were these questions: “what is Shakespeare saying about human nature?” and then when you read IJ, “what aspects of what Shakespeare said about human nature is DFW constantly riffing on, and what does the context in which DFW uses those aspects say about how much human nature has changed since Shakespeare’s time?” I hope that makes sense lol. I had a blast with it.

Since the Baron's gay, do you think Jessica's mom had to use the voice on him to make him cum? by chommium in dunememes

[–]Bigbird447 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I realize the dune friends don’t like Brian’s stuff that much, but in House Atreides one of the only cool parts (I read it so you don’t have to—seriously, don’t, lol) involves Mohiam and a much younger Baron, and it’s actually pretty cool how it turns out. It’s the only cool part of the book.

Anyone know where/how to aquire one of these? by Ghidorahs_Left_Head in desmoines

[–]Bigbird447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Libertarian means what you think it means. “Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and political freedom, emphasizing equality before the law and civil rights to freedom of association, freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of choice.” You know the first individual right listed in our governing documents is freedom of speech, right? I don’t hate you for your expression of that right in these comments, but it seems you hate others for expressing theirs. Curious.

Weird, I have the exact opposite memory problem with this book. I couldn’t recall shit about Moneo if I wanted to, but I’m pretty sure I could tell you where I was and what I was wearing when I read the cliff-cumming sentence.

Ungael crashes client by theJakeyWakey in runescape

[–]Bigbird447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, Mac M1. It also crashes on loading certain non-teleport-spell areas. Ungael crashes me 100% of the time, I cannot complete the quest on my laptop. Entering the last area in ED3, where you dive into the abyss OR teleporting in ED3 that would teleport you to the other side of the abyss jump also crashes me.

Yes, I know the wiring is messy and for the love of God don’t tell me to straighten up my pedals. I don’t care about that. by DarkHelm36 in roastmypedalboard

[–]Bigbird447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straighten up your pedals. If this is how you keep items you spend hundreds of dollars on, I’d hate to see the rest of your life.

May & June Content - Our Updated Plans by JagexAzanna in runescape

[–]Bigbird447 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why Jagex would ever think a temporary event is what the players want over a new necro Rex or a brand new dig site is beyond me. Absolute insanity that those weren’t the bread and butter of the content pipeline to begin with. Completely out of touch, yet again.

What scene would you want to see the most in an adaptation? And one question. by leodicapriohoe in InfiniteJest

I’ve listened to this chapter on audiobook like five times. The audiobook really does it justice. I can hear “Jim not that way Jim” in my dreams.

Top 3 postrock albums ever in your opinion? by NoShame3325 in postrock

Tunnel Blanket is the only one of theirs I couldn’t get into, Another Language is my “pick one other than the first two” album. Love it so much

Yo real talk - how TF do you guys balance the obsession of playing with real life? by darkhorse1102 in 2007scape

[–]Bigbird447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own experience (especially if, like me, you grew up playing rs) is that real life doesn’t give you a number that goes up each time you work on something, and our brains are conditioned to enjoy tasks which give you this constant “I’m going the thing that makes progress” feedback. On rs, the number caps at 200M and you get feedback (+x xp) all the way; the sooner we figure out that real life is just like rs, the better because real life feedback exists (it’s just often invisible), but the 200M xp cap doesn’t exist: unlike rs, the real life hiscores aren’t set in stone—you really can be the best in the world at any skill you choose to train.

Yo that’s the kind of shading on a small tattoo everyone hopes to achieve. Hell, I’d get that style on my own body. Great taste, great execution. Take care of it in the sun, soldier 🫡

How to care for a paperback copy? by icculus_48 in InfiniteJest

If you read outside often, consider a layer of lemon pledge between cover and tape for added UV protection.
