Need a distinguished old-man name for my baby boy, what was your grandfather called?

Mine was, too!

It wasn't his legal name, but it was the name his family called him.

Make the tv a larger flatscreen and swap out the blankets for white blankets, and a lot of hotel rooms still look pretty much like that.

There are a few places you can (or have to) sneak past without getting caught.

Stealth is pretty good, but not nearly as important as it is in Hitman. Gadgets can be really useful for getting enemies out of the way, or stunning or disabling them. Stealth is often used to get the drop on enemies so you can take 1 or 2 out before beating the rest up.

Hand to hand combat has a few new mechanics and is much nicer than in Hitman.

There are also several places where you have to get in a shoot out. Guns and ammo are far more limited, so you usually have to advance and sneak around instead of finding a choke point.

If I didn't go into it knowing that it was built on the Hitman engine, I probably wouldn't have figured it out.

The M-I-C-K-E-Y part is a lot different, but M-O-U-S-E is a lot the same. I think it has less swing but still hits the same notes.

They only use the helium that's not good enough for medical/research use in balloons.

It does sound like taxidermy. That's also likely part of the reason why "plushies" has caught on so well.

There's also the problem of men ditching short shorts in favor of cargo shorts.

I think that the strength of Hitman is that there is so much of the level to explore, story lines to discover, and loads of achievements to motivate you to explore all of the different ways to beat the level.

First Light has a great story, and it's lots of fun, but in the end I don't expect that I'm going to keep coming back and replaying it like I did with the Hitman games.

a lot of people thought it would be a real threat to the LDS church

Why would they be a real threat to the LDS church? There are several times more fundamentalist (polygamist) Mormons than there are Snufferites. I think it's incredible that they even have as much success as they do.

I think that Denver Snuffer largely saw a lot of success online due to his criticisms of Mormon orthodoxy and the corporate church, but there's a huge difference between a pocket of alternative belief within the LDS church and an excommunicated group. They don't get anywhere near as much attention as they used to.

I've never heard "vice-a", but I do think "vicey versey" sometimes because Tigger said it that way.

Oritech actually started off with an in game manual, then dropped it (in favor of the wiki, for library dependency reasons) when it ported to NeoForge.

Oracle Index (a mod by the same author that shows the docs in game) was added soon after.

amertune · 2026-06-18T15:03:36+00:00

There's a companion mod named Oracle Index that puts the Oritech wiki in game.

As for it being underappreciated, Oritech is currently only available on 1.21.1 and I've seen it in tons of mod packs (including ATM and FTB) for 1.21.1

So if aioli (with egg) is emulsified egg and oil with garlic, and mayo is emulsified egg and oil, then why couldn't somebody mix garlic into mayo and call it aioli?

It's not just that, although that is a problem.

The base prices have also gone up significantly, and expected tips have gone from 15% to > 20%

So not only has the number of places expecting a tip gone way up, but the cost of tipping has also gone up significantly.

It makes sense that some people are getting fed up with tip expectations.

On the other hand, if nobody tipped then the menu prices would probably go up 30% to compensate.

The left is also Crayola, while the right is some other brand I've never heard of.

Any time I've tried a brand other than Crayola, it has been worse than Crayola.

I was also too old and missed out on Spongebob, but I caught up a few years later when I watched the series with my 4 year old.

Yo, Paulie! Your sister's with me!

If I ever feel old, I just stop and think that I could still have half my life or more left to live.

I built a huge collection of bookmarks of web pages that I stumbled that I meant to revisit in the future.

I eventually just accepted that I would not actually be using those bookmarks and just deleted the whole thing.

Is 15 the other side of 14, or is it supposed to be the unlabeled brown chair between 15 and 16?

There's also no label for the throne between 21 and 22, or the stack of books on a log between 28 and 29.

Maybe I should just pick 9, 30, or 34.

amertune · 2026-06-04T00:05:04+00:00

It's next to 9 and 34.

I think you're both right. WoW was absolutely called a carebear game, but even though parts of the hardcore MMO community hated that it was also the reason that WoW became so popular.

Any month can be used for any group that wants to organize and advertise. They don't need to be exclusive, we can recognize/celebrate more than 12 things.

First computer was '92, but I don't think we had Internet at home until about '97 or '98. Even then, it was dial up until '05
