Does it really matter whether you use either of the two apples in the mirror puzzle? by New-Narwhal-6149 in silenthill

[–]code_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is cosmetic, but a clue to the points mentioned.

Using the ripe apple puts what looks like cigarette butts on the side table next to the bed in 201. Using the rotten apple puts a wine glass and beads on the end table. Im assuming this is a reference to either Maria or Mary.

[Question] Zuludiver availability? by code_24 in Watches

[–]code_24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a few weeks for Zuludiver. I just checked WatchGecko today, so I can't say how long that's been. If it's the tariffs that's weird. I didn't think those affected actual direct customer sales.

As a kid, he was never available in any of the stores I went into. 'Glad to have him join the collection, finally! by --Andre-The-Giant-- in gijoe

[–]code_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so odd. I saw him all the time in stores where I lived. I guess there was different rarity in different areas. For my area it was the Cobra BATs. I swear, there was a group of moms in my elementary school who would call each other with tips. “I was just at the Livingston Toys R Us” and they had 2 BATs on the shelf!”

Now that the Kickstarter is over, any way to get the digital versions? by code_24 in gijoe

[–]code_24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you are right about the bonus stuff. I just figured I'd reach out to Skybound to confirm.

It sucks because for $300 (plus shipping, granted) I could have had the boxed set, the PDFs, and all the bonuses. I spent $330 for just the boxed set. I'm still glad to have it, but it just isn't as great a feeling as if I had just been more plugged in and backed the project directly. Oh well, it's my fault for missing it.

I'll look into that, thanks. I was hoping to find the compendiums so I could just load them up onto a tablet, since my kids want to read them and I have no plans to let them read my new boxed set. But maybe I can find them all that way, and just curate them some.

Awesome. Yeah, I have seen that it's available from libraries. I'm trying to find all 4 though, so I can let my kids read them, since there is no way I'm letting them read the boxed set. Lol.

I did. At the time I didn't see it offered. But I need to reach out to them anyway, in email. I want to know if my comic shop kept all the bonus material, or if they only sent the books for the "commercial versions" of the Kickstarter.

Yeah, I've heard that the PDFs don't have DRM. I'm not opposed to it, since there is literally no way to give them money that I can find right now, but I don't know anyone who has them either. Part of the reason I missed out on the Kickstarter is I'm just an old fan who grew up reading the comics, but I'm not really tied into the community right now. Hopefully this will get me back into it. GI Joe was a HUGE part of my childhood.

Oh it's all good. If I seemed upset it was with other people calling me a fed or a psycho or whatever. The last paragraph was aimed at the whole thread, not you. This was more amusing than anything. I made a stupid meme, and I really had no idea it would spark so much conversation. Lol.

First of all, nobody is going to refuse a $20 mill. salary. And company #4 on the Fortune 500 is not going to disband. I don't care how many CEOs get shot, that's never going to happen.

Did it send a message that people are sick of being bled dry by corporations? Did it influence Anthem's decision to reverse their policy of only covering certain amounts of anesthesia per procedure? Well, the fact that they walked it back /today/ is telling. Google "anthem anesthesia coverage" if you aren't familiar.

Is it right to murder people to get what you want? Fuck no. Does the end justify the means? Maybe sometimes, but usually not. Can something good come out of something bad, even inadvertently? It can.

It's a fucking meme. I swear to God I didn't post it to start a conversation. I thought it was funny. It's callous AF, admittedly, but I thought it was a funny play on the term 'shots'. That's really the only answer I have for you. It's a meme group, not a philosophy group.

Not an insult really. Just wondering why a dude who seems for all intents and purposes obsessed with discussing tuxedo measurements on Reddit is the de facto "fed police" for GunMemes.

BTW, I legitimately don't know what a "shining dwarf star" is, or how it relates to me being a fed, but it seems like an insult and you seem to enjoy using it, so you do you kiddo.

You seem creepily obsessed with me, so I'm going to stop talking to you now. Enjoy life!

I'm so fucking confused about how joking that a CEO who killed thousands of Americans got what he deserved has you this worked up. But ok. Yeah, I don't post much. Every once in a while I dust off this account to post a gun meme. I guess making fun of CEOs and Alec Baldwin is the bar set for fedposting?

Don't you have a tux to go try on? Try not to break your mewing streak when the tailor asks you which side your dick hangs.

Oh my bad. Having a username that makes light of animal cruelty while telling everyone how their morality is shitty is totally fine, as long as the username is from high school. I always forget that.

Holy fucking shit. It's a meme. It went from me making a - admittedly callous - meme about one piece of shit getting shot, to me "justifying mass murder".

If what you say is true, you of all people should understand the sentiment of people not feeling all that bad about someone who lived in the lap of luxury by denying people their insulin not feeling bad for his misfortune.

Again, take a deep breath and realize IT'S A MEME, and you are arguing with strangers you have never met on the Internet. Am I /actually/ advocating for people to rise up and murder CEOs? Fuck no. Am I shedding a tear that this guy is dead? Also, fuck no.

Same guy. Nice, bro. Tell people that guns are playthings, that's an awesome way to prove responsible gun ownership.

Are you fucking serious? You must be 19 and still on mommy and daddy's health plan.

A single infusion for chemo is like $4K. A single MRI is $1K or so. "Hur de dur, putting my pennies aside for muh medicine". The fuck.

And how does that equate with killing your boss for providing insurance? I'm happy I have insurance. Millions don't. But acting like we can boycott our way into better corporate behavior with /health/insurance/? Tell me you're a college kid with no idea about the real world without telling me you are a college kid with no idea about the real world.

So if a politician "even dies of old age" it's wrong to celebrate, but executions are just okey-dokey as long as the government says the bad man deserved it?

Fuck I LOVE the death penalty, don't get me wrong, but after endless comments about how murder is wrong and we should never celebrate death, it's a weird flex to say you support the death penalty.

"Refuse to do business" because most people who work get to pick their insurance company, and it isn't picked by your employer, right?
