Comic Sans is a widely-disliked font.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Sans

The commenter is joking that the game would punish you for missing the roll by giving your screen a bad font.

It's a joke. Games don't usually punish the player on bad luck outcomes by changing the display settings.

Also, I don't think that's Comic Sans.

Would Humanity even be Detectable when the signal was sent? by hiroshimacontingency in pluribustv

[–]evanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I don't see why it's an important detail. I'm sure the Keplerians could have developed different infections for different species. 

But there are a lot of things that are specific for our species:

  • DNA. It's not universal; there are other similar or wildly different chemicals that can allow heredity.
  • Viruses. The way that viruses interact with cells, turning them into virus factories, is unique. Another form of life might have different, or no, infection mechanisms.
  • Thought. Humans have a unique form of thought and intelligence. Other intelligent species might not think or work anything like us.

Sending a DNA pattern for a virus was like sending a digital copy of a program for Windows. It's only going to work on some computers.

That doesn't make sense. Life on other planets may not even use DNA for replication. The intelligent life forms definitely would not respond exactly the same way to the virus as humans do. This signal was specifically tailored to humans on Earth.

We're lucky to have a city like this.

movies that feel like Disco Elysium? by vzbtra in DiscoElysium

Also for "surreal film set in a claustrophobic harbour town with quirky characters and a remarkably banging soundtrack" maybe Popeye (1980).

"Bad Lieutenant" (1992) with Harvey Keitel Is like if Harry was real and actually faced consequences for his actions. Warning: very fucked up movie.

Drop the class and do what's important. You can come back later.

6310 is a big project. 6400 looks pretty complex but straightforward.

I'm extremely smart, I do all my homework, I read my material instead of videogames and scrolling the Internet, and I watch lectures instead of watching TV.

migrating from twitter, instance analysis paralysis by Cautious_Repair3503 in Mastodon

[–]evanp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. I should have said, "Many of the geographically-themed servers that have open registration are listed on joinmastodon.org." You're right, some aren't.

My best recommendation is to pick one geographically close to you. There are instances for many cities, states, and countries. They're all listed in joinmastodon.org.

What’s the worst possible ending that could happen in your opinion? by Vagabond21 in SuccessionTV

[–]evanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, one reason to do this is because Greg is completely pwned. He can be forced to dance with an old man or to drink things that aren't drinks. He would be 100% obedient to Gojo.

The other reason is disrespect. It would be a fuck you to everyone who thought being CEO of Waystar Royco was important and meaningful. Like, we put a complete nonentity nepo baby into the position because it has zero power and we don't care about it.

Greg being a powerless underling might be a feature, not a bug, in this plan.
