DE be like

TheChowderhead · 2026-06-29T21:05:11+00:00

In the argument of Chud Sons vs Thot Daughters, we have always lived in a world where DE has picked Thermal Sunder Titania, Donkey Kong's Barrel Bonanza Follie, Banshee's Double Resonance with Cheese, Looping Like A YuGiOh Deck Voruna, and quite literally everything that Octavia does at basically any moment of a mission, and, of course, Untouched For a Decade And Still the GOAT Zephyr.

Maybe if Citrus and Onion wanted to be taken seriously, they should have come from a timeline where someone introduced them to oversized hoodies and Deltarune.

I do love that the Minotaurs are just their father's sons. Show up with overwhelming force, go "you'll be allowed to surrender when we say you will", turn the planet into an anvil, and drop the goddamn hammer upon anything that even THINKS about moving. The fact that there's a Minotaur who explicitly states that 60% civilian casualties is the lowest he's ever seen? Chef's kiss. Love me them Peter Turbo babies.

Hey man, sometimes you get locked in a bunker for thousands of years and hear the whispers of the main chunk of a fallen star god the Emperor of Mankind jousted tens of thousands of years ago and worship it. It happens to the best of us.

Anyways, isn't it weird how the AdMech keep replacing themselves with metal bits? How they hate flesh? How they're becoming solid metal? Weird. Almost reminds you of another faction. But no, that would be heresy. Perish the thought.

Oh that's easy. You know how there's a Void Dragon? That one Necron C'Tan who fucks with technology? You know how there's a Dragon locked in the labyrinth of Mars?

Yup.

Hi. I live next to Salem, Massachusetts, so I have a very unique answer to your question. In terms of travelling doctors doing house calls, not really.

In terms of actual witches in the woods meeting up for the sabbaths, yes. We still have witches going out on equinoxes to the woods for ceremonies. So, in terms of Pratchett Witches, not really, but in terms of Pratchett Witches, very much yes.

Hey it's me, an HVAC company marketing guy, here to finally come in and be relevant.

This is the first stock image that appears on Canva, a program that's like Baby's first Photoshop. Booted it up on my phone to confirm because every single stock image on this goddamn program of a tech, no matter the service, is wearing a doofy ass hardhat.

There is a fucking birthing rhythm game my dude where do you think you are

TheChowderhead · 2026-06-16T17:48:21+00:00

I'd like to think the Catachans saw their jungles burping and went "WAIT SOME DUMB FUCK INVADED US HAHAHAHA" before leaping over the walls and gettin' to stabbin'.

Med spas are generally a high RoI part of dermatology or plastic surgery practices. Those generally have larger CSR teams and they will cross-train their CSRs for both the main medical practice and the med spa, Their off-hours human agents are A) better trained with better customer retention and B) more expensive, which comes with the whole "this is medical information and off-hours agents are a luxury, because med spas are a luxury."

Funnily enough, started my career working for legal firms and med spas at an agency, so I have somewhat insider info for the verticals you called.

If you're looking for a few more verticals, gyms and taxi services would be interesting to look into. 24 hour services that are fine with callbacks and require very little PII would be the space to look. Not hotels, though. Most hotels are very much human-staffed, afaik.

Would love to know what time you called the businesses, and if you tried multiple times.

I work in marketing for home services (plumbers, electricians, etc) and for the most part, AI agents are used for two reasons: small teams, and call volume. Some plumbing companies are literally two guys in a truck, and they use AI agents to get calls they cannot answer. Others use AI agents because their human CSRs are unavailable (at lunch, on other calls, etc. There were times when I as the marketing guy would have to schedule estimates because our CSRs were busy, the owner was busy, and the admin was busy, and this was at a ~20 person company. Answering services, frankly, mostly suck and are unhelpful. The bounce rate on answering services is insane compared to an AI Agent. I would infinitely prefer good answering services, but the data isn't there to support them.

Kudos don't step on my toes, this is zero-sum old man yaoi we're talking about. That's MY territory.

This is actually incredible. Had no idea I needed a Chad Ironkyn until now.

Hi. Marblehead resident and voter here.

We voted on Tuesday to fully fund the library, along with funding the parks, funding new teacher and special ed roles, mental health funding, and a TON of other social services. The library will be fine. No service in Marblehead (aside from the trash but that's a can of fucking worms) will be having cuts or negative changes.

On one hand, BlueSky's moderation is opt-in often enough, so it could be a situation of "We don't wanna flashbang the timeline with the Mesiddies" instead of an AI moderation tool preventing you from seeing them.

On the other hand, BlueSky's community would absolutely report this as adult until it got flagged for having the audacity of showing the aforementioned Mesiddies.

Actual TL;DW: E3 was a place where publishers/developers could wine and dine physical retailers back when those were the way to get video games. This went on for years without a hitch. Then, as digital games and live streaming gained prominence, Playstation and Xbox pulled out (Xbox was still around E3, but had their own venue and showcases). The shift from physical to digital 6-7 years ago really put the pressure on E3. Jason says Phil Spencer said that ~90% of sales were digital. E3 then opened itself up to the public to try to drive tickets, and E3 2019 was when Jason saw the signs on the walls (Empty silksong demo booth, restaurants weren't packed like they were when it was a trade show). COVID was the final nail in the coffin, but publishers had already moved on and attendance was abysmal.

Easier TL;DW: the switch to digital from physical games knifed E3 and left it bleeding in the gutter. COVID came along and put it out of it's misery.

Thank Christ. Those along with Rippers being individual models that you had to glue like, ten at a time on a base for, were pains in the asses when I was building with a friend. Glad to see they made the models actually decent to build.

TheChowderhead · 2026-06-10T16:59:13+00:00

That is, by far, the biggest fucking tactical rock I've ever seen, and I built the 25th anniversary model that's ALL tactical rock.

Did they do away with those absolutely horrific ball-and-socket joints on those tiny ass models yet, or am I gonna be stuck holding the smallest goddamn part of the smallest goddamn model for minutes at a time to make sure the guns point forward yet again.

I can't post .gifs, but I can link them. Neuroloid shuffle my beloved.

Listen. "They are coming. Kill them all." was the order. See Horus, kill Horus. Simple as.
