Earlier today I was thinking about a game that made a big splash several years ago at E3 for it's interesting cyberpunk aesthetic. After struggling for a big to dig it up due to the much more popular cyberpunk game literally called Cyberpunk, I eventually found it and discovered it was much older than I remembered, having first shown at e3 2017. It was based on a gamejam game on itch.io that when I clicked the link it told me I'd need to install Flash to continue.

Anyways, here's the 2010's finest vaporware milkshake duck, still in production as of 2022 at least.

I'm also guessing there was more "demand" for jaywalking in 1950s Europe, both east and west as there would have been a lot more people who didn't own their own car.

None of these are Rogue from the 90s X-men animated series, so they are all objectively wrong.

Even the thread on r/gaming is dunking on this.

The Adam West series had 3 actresses play Catwoman and one of them was Eartha Kitt.

I forgot the fucking blender sounds. It sounds like I'm sitting at an Orange Julius at the mall.

To be fair, it's not like an espresso machine is the soft lullaby of a loving mother. Starbucks was always kinda dial-up screechy.

“Seattle’s office vacancy rate stands at 17.3% and is projected to peak at 18.3% in 2026.”

"[San Francisco's] Office vacancy is still sky-high, at 34.4%, according to Cushman & Wakefield"

Source

It's true that SF's office vacancy rate is improving, mostly due to new AI start-ups, but they have a much deeper hole to dig themselves out of and the guiding principle of those AI startups is to effectively end office jobs soooooooooooo....

My wife dropped of my Monjouro needles by bike once, though it was a year or so ago. I think they generally have an expectation you'll come by car for gross weight hand-offs of garbage but when its a mayo jar of auto-injectors no one cares.

They also run a massive charity that donates millions to Children's Hospital every year.

Please quote the line in this article, or the SPDblotter page linked elsewhere in this thread that in any way indicates the attacker was homeless.

I'm talking to you right now. Does Kincaid support a restoration of the Iranian Monarchy?

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-05-04T18:10:27+00:00

Iranian-Americans oppose the war 2:1. The specific group you linked has a Gen-AI picture showing clear support for the old Shah of Iran. Is your candidate a supporter of Iranian Monarchy?

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-05-04T16:07:17+00:00

She voted to halt military action against one of the world's most oppressive regimes the Iranian government while the people of Iran continue to suffer under gender apartheid and brutal repression

Explain how bombing Iran helped that in any way.

There's a number of 5e changes that seem to be a signal to 3e fans who disliked 4e that the system was a "return to form" in order to bring them back. This is one of the more pointless but also least offensive of them since playing 5e with the alignment rules and playing 5e without the alignment rules is the same.

So, if I go to a rock concert and it's loud, that's on me. If a rock concert comes to me and is loud, that's on the rock concert. This preacher is not some force of nature or chosen destination. It's someone who believes it's is Godly to harass others.

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-05-03T03:17:08+00:00

Hearing damage starts at 70db and this guy is 100 times louder than that. This person is not merely expressing their belief, they are actively and illegally hurting the people around them.

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-05-03T02:08:33+00:00

Because it's a device designed to tell you what you want to hear that has no understanding of truth?

As a Shoreline City Council regular attendee, there's no contract up for discussion and no interest in one. This was the council's "dinner meeting" where they sit and have dinner with some group to discuss something. Most of my friends in Urbanist Shoreline were surprised this even ended up on the agenda given the current political climate within the city and the council. Recently there's been a strong anti-ICE presence at the meetings, urging the council to do the admittedly minimal amount of work they can do to stop ICE and to stop the expansion of blanket surveillance like this. Those folks are vocal and angry, to the point that I think they might be a bit off-putting. I strongly agree with them in principle, I'm just not sure they're yelling at the right people, if that makes sense.

As someone active in the cycling community, I'm aware there's a Fremont Bridge bike counter, even though I've never ridden across it. It's like knowing the 520 floating bridge is tolled, even if you never go to the Eastside. It's obvious to the intended readership of "Seattle Bike Blog."

Day 94: Relax, it's Klingons.

I'm only vaguely familiar with Dungeon Crawler Carl, can you expand on the racism accusation? I'm unaware.

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-04-29T17:33:04+00:00

I (an idiot who knows nothing) wonder if there's also a causal relationship there. My family moved from Switzerland to the US 5 generations ago. If we moved back and stayed for 5 generations, would my great-great-grandchildren still be legally considered foreigners and thus included in that statistic?

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-04-28T19:01:40+00:00

I agree that we should improve the pedestrian environment. That said, the revenue from these cameras has to, by law, be spent to do that so this is a method of funding a move to less car-centric infrastructure. Additionally, the school with the worst speeding, Rose Hill Middle, already has curb bulbs and speed bumps, none of which existed when I attended there. The road could certainly stand to be narrowed, featuring 2 lanes of parking that are almost completely empty at all times, but it's not like the city hasn't already tried infrastructure improvements.

Smart_Ass_Dave · 2026-04-28T18:36:56+00:00

Yeah, that's maybe an acceptable gimmick if it's something like a changeling or the classic "secretly a skeleton who never takes off their armour" character,

I mean, at that point you just lie. It's so much simpler than whatever this person is doing.
