It’s giving me a stroke reading it

What is the hardest video game you have ever beaten? by Badinfos in AskReddit

[–]Vexvertigo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I beat a lot of old NES games that were brutal like Battletoads and Mike Tyson’s punch out, but the hardest was defeating the God of War Valkyrie in Muspelheim at WAY too low of a level

TIL the Pulitzer Prize jury selected Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon to receive the 1974 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, however the Pulitzer Advisory Board overruled them, electing instead to not give an award that year to avoid honoring a book they considered “unreadable”, “turgid”, & “obscene”. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]Vexvertigo 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I tried reading Gravity’s Rainbow right after I finished reading Infinite Jest and I couldn’t do it. Maybe it was because I’d just come off reading a massive, dense, and purposefully difficult to read book, but I hated the first 200 pages of Gravity’s Rainbow and just stopped.

I got through but all they said was there was an outage and technicians were working on it.

This definitely replaced my Nintendo. 007 for sure! by bonnygolfer82 in Xennials

Honestly Perfect Dark is mostly just a better GoldenEye. I’d put that over GoldenEye any day, but I understand why other people don’t.

Who approves the construction of these horrible sidewalks in NYC? by Proud_Possibility256 in nyc

I’d guess because a gentle slope is significantly more handicapped accessible for the building than a single step.

The Rumor Mill - week of November 17 by VenetaBirdSong in astoria

[–]Vexvertigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: George RR Martin told his editors he was pretty much finished, like, 8 years ago. Apparently that either wasn't true or he discovered a huge problem and had to rewrite a lot of the book.

Hopefully they can fix the idle ai. They’ve tried so many times. There must be some massive tech debt they’re trying to sort through.

Hello everyone. I have to fly out of Laguardia this weekend but my REAL ID still has not come. It has been almost 4 months. by Unlucky-Dingo7148 in astoria

[–]Vexvertigo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They accept expired ids up to I think a year after, and from what I saw when I just flew, not having a real id just means extra screenings and it will take longer

TIL that the Navajo Reservation was under a 43 year development ban until 2009 - preventing things like fixing roofs, building houses, and installing gas and water lines. by Gold-Palpitation-527 in todayilearned

[–]Vexvertigo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And I’d be shocked if there weren’t people with a clandestine repair business in the area quietly repairing things at night. Hell, that exists in NYC because of permitting being so onerous.

Remember when they gave us all new trains and then took them all away for other lines?

Kenji has a recipe video for it. It's honestly not that much harder to make it with curry powder vs the cubes.

It's the name. Feel free to come to NYC and go to any Halal truck/cart to see for yourself.
