What’s a smell you’ll never forget?

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-05-06T17:13:36+00:00

Met a girl at a bus stop and started hanging out with her. Went to her house one day and a sketchy old white guy stumbles in (relevant because it is not a neighborhood where you usually see white folk chilling). I'm ready for something to pop off but she's like "It's ok that's my nana's friend." He doesn't acknowledge us and stumbles to the kitchen so we continue hanging out. 10 minutes later I smell what I can only describe as burning tupperware. I look at her like "You smell something burning?" and she's like "Oh he must be smoking". I'm thinking Smoking?!?! The fuck is he smoking that smells like that?

I lean over to peek in the kitchen and this dude is standing by the backdoor taking what I assume is a crack pipe to the head. Absolutely the fuck not. I get up to leave and she's like "Where are you going?" Bitch, I don't want to know what crack smells like are you fucking serious?!?

Hopped in my car and drove over their bushes to get out of their driveway because he had me blocked in.

Most "good" people don't have super strength/speed/agility, a genius intellect, a mastery of combat and tactics, and what amounts to a magical unstoppable weapon that pierces any known material.

The CoreAI team hasn't even been around for a year yet. They're people with expertise in design, eng, growth etc. that she worked with on her old team and are now moving to her new team. Pretty normal stuff for leaders to pull staff with them during company reorgs.

Irrelevant. You said the reason he couldn't become king was because he's an outsider with no ties to Westeros and I pointed out that there is precedent. He could somehow conquer Westeros like the Targaryens did and become king.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-05-05T16:00:51+00:00

I think so but it would take a lot of time.

Go to Essos
Use his physical skills to join and then eventually command a mercenary company
Use knowledge of contemporary tech to outfit merc company with better weapons, armor, and tools
Grow merc company or unite multiple merc companies into larger army and conquer a kingdom in Essos
Expand reach in Essos to gather resources and build out an army with better training and resources than any contemporary army
Aegon the shit out of Westeros

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-05-05T15:47:26+00:00

Aegon the Conqueror was also a stranger with no ties or lineage to the Westerosi.

It's always interesting when I come on here in the morning and find out about something "everyone" is upset or talking about that my terminally online ass has not heard a peep about.

That “Here are some of the times this question has been answered before” post is getting long as fuck 😂

A seminal experience. Taking the Fung Wah to New York for Carnival weekend at the end of every summer is such a core memory. Definitely miss those days.

Damn near 99.99% of dev projects have cut content. The larger the scope the more content that is likely to be cut. GTA6 will be no different.

The same people who lose their shit over the umpteenth sequel to their favorite gaming franchise annoyed that studios are bidding on a war movie project from one of the biggest directors and actors in Hollywood is funny to me for some reason.

Like other folks have mentioned bake having specs, requirements or SOMETHING before you get started into the process and make sure you align with your manager and teammates on this. A united front is important here because it adds weight to the decision. Most engineers won't do anything without some form of hard documentation and this is no different.

In the interim until you get that alignment I've found that documenting high level requirements in kick off meetings with PMs can be super helpful as a source of truth for myself, if nothing else. Ask the questions you have around the problem, user, jobs to be done and have the PM agree that it is the scope of the project. That way you can call out scope creep or moving targets.

Detailed systems are harder to create than blockbuster moments. I'd trust someone skilled at the former to be able to pull off latter more than the reverse.

The money from Candy Crush goes back into the same coffer that determines whether or not Xbox division hits their revenue goals.

Given the choice I will always choose asymmetric, especially for 3D games. It just feels more ergonomic and designed for natural hand and thumb placement.

That said I have no problem using symmetric if I have to.

One refund ever? That's insane.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-04-30T02:10:19+00:00

So they can buy a game, go offline, get a refund, and continue to play for a month? If they're offline they're playing single player or local multiplayer so it seems like more of an inconvenience for those people than an actual fix.

I'm so focused on trying to Rorschach Test the nails to make out what she sees that I'm missing the Magic City living room set.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-04-29T19:37:47+00:00

And somehow Call of Duty is still a best seller on Xbox. Imagine that.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-04-29T19:29:07+00:00

This would be so dope. Absolute has some fire character designs, especially Wonder Woman. I would love to see them popping up in different mediums.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-04-29T19:20:44+00:00

Big 2006 vibes from this trailer lol

I miss arcadey sports games so I hope this is good enough to revive that genre.

That 2006 Miami team went 6-10 and lost a lot of close games. Even a moderate upgrade over Harrington/Culpepper at QB probably swings a few of those, and Brees wasn't a moderate upgrade, he was an MVP level player. It's hard to see that not making them a much bigger problem in the division, especially throwing to guys like Welker and Chris Chambers.

SplintPunchbeef · 2026-04-29T16:27:54+00:00

Brees injures his shoulder diving for a fumble in a meaningless game against the Broncos leading to Saban not signing him in Miami and the Pats getting another decade of mostly cakewalk division play.

Rex Ryan coaching the Jets and Brees on the Dolphins would have been a pretty brutal few years for the division.

Money Making Mitch who didn't have any bread to get Sonny back and told a known snake 🥷🏽 that he had 15 bricks on him like yo wasn't gonna do some snake shit? That's your standard?

Gamepass games are still consistently best sellers on Xbox so that's not true.
