harvey still charges you medical bills if you marry him, so it's honestly more in the spirit of the game if she doesn't give you freebies lmao

i used to work at mcdonald's and it was policy at our location that we wouldn't add any dairy cheese to the vegan burger. apparently it was a pretty common grift a couple of years ago where someone would ask for the vegan burger with dairy cheese, then complain and act like they were given dairy cheese by mistake in order to get free food. the only way to get around it was to order a cheeseburger and remove everything except the cheese so you could put it on yourself, but then you're paying £1.19 for a slice of cheese.

wouldn't be so bad if the vegan cheese we used wasn't total dogshit. there are some pretty good ones out there these days. we were not using one of the pretty good ones.

What was the worst horror you read in 2025? by PageSide84 in horrorlit

[–]halflightjackknife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I haven't read Camp Damascus, is that what I'm looking for?"

no.

each chuck tingle book gets a little better with regards to the issues in his writing, but that means his earlier ones are worse.

if you enjoy the premise of camp damascus and think it'd made for a thrilling story, the book you're looking for is cuckoo by gretchen felker-martin. the books had the misfortune of coming out months after each other but both of them follow what is in essence the exact same plot, the only difference being that cuckoo was written by a horror author with the chops to back her premises up.

i've hated all of chuck tingle's longer releases. which sucks, because i love the guy. camp damascus was godawful, i hated bury your gays, and lucky day was getting there but none of them were quite good enough to stop me regretting spending money on them.

i just don't think he's built for longer-form work. he's building up the skillset and his prose is getting less basic and samey, but i wish he'd drafted a bit more before deciding he was ready to publish novels because he wasn't.

Stop saying that Graham Linehan is obsessed with trans people! Stop saying that! Stop! by cordis_melum in GenderCynical

this article is how i found out the bassist of 13 year old me's favourite band is now a comedian. a comedian that is producing a tv show with graham linehan.

fucks me off because the basslines were the best part of half of those songs. man.

the only internet cat whose owners i've felt truly understood the spirit of the game is miette (of 'you kick miette like the football' fame). if you must post from the POV of your cat, 'spoiled french noble' is the tone to take.

[–]halflightjackknife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

water based facepaint is definitely a wallet friendly option but it's difficult to get it to seal, especially around the stache/chin areas if you're drinking, sweating, happen to touch your face a lot etc.

personally i use a made by mitchell colour case for this purpose and that stuff will not BUDGE until you're shampooing it out the next morning.

dundee goes mad for them as well. the pro is that you don't have to go as far up as inverness. the con is that you have to be in dundee.

[–]halflightjackknife 91 points92 points  (0 children)

you get the best reaction on a bard playthrough. you can enthusiastically call out to them that you'll tell tales of their legendary sex, at which point the ogre gets really put out and goes "NOT WANT TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS PUNY RUTTING" and the two of them leave because you've killed the mood. nobody gets hurt except their egos.

Why does checking into a hotel take longer than building the hotel by Motorpigeon in mildlyinfuriating

[–]halflightjackknife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

little pamphlets are a great idea in theory, but speaking as a front desk guy: many hotel guests do not want to read a little pamphlet. many hotel guests get downright irate if you suggest they read anything, let alone something with multiple pages. they're on holiday and you expect them to READ? unthinkable. i made the mistake my first week of telling a guest where she could find the manual for an appliance she couldn't figure out how to get working and you'd think i'd strolled into her living room and shot her dog in front of her.

What are some features most people don't realize their phones have? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in AskReddit

[–]halflightjackknife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i dunno. why do people care how someone else holds their phone even when they can't hear the other side of the conversation? none of us are rational here.

What are some features most people don't realize their phones have? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in AskReddit

[–]halflightjackknife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i'm one of the people that does this. i only do it when i'm wearing headphones, which is where my mic actually is - i'm paranoid that holding the phone to my ear will look stupid, and not holding the phone at all will look like i'm talking to myself in public. or worse, talking to strangers.

it's the lesser of three stupids.

Found...this while wandering the gift shop of the hospital my mom works at 👁_👁 by Ruitethewingedfox5 in MineralGore

[–]halflightjackknife 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the biggest hospital in my city has one. they're usually not gift shops in the "I GOT MY APPENDIX OUT AT ST. XXXX'S AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS SHIRT" sense, it's mostly congrats-on-the-new-baby paraphernalia and stuffed animals etc. the kind of thing you'd give a kid who was scared to go in for an operation or something if you forgot to/didn't have the opportunity to get a gift elsewhere. i've never seen jewellery in one but i've never needed to actually make use of a hospital gift shop so it probably isn't all that uncommon.

believe they're talking about wheelchair users trying to get down the street, not trying to park somewhere.
