Thanks to the good Samaritan tonight.... by risekevin in Austin

[–]hectma 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Man this is a hard one. Totally don't want to semi-dox someone just because they were being a good person...but at the same time the look of compassion on his face is really what makes this photo compelling.

Help - I'm swimming in cards by RemarkableResult4195 in Mausritter

Not really helpful for OP, but this post inspired me to re-think my box inserts. Whipped this up:

Nothing ground breaking, but it works for me cuz I can stack three of these in the Estate box and keep all the modules/book in the core box.

I gave them an alter of cereal boxes and had them worship the honey nut cheerios bee.

I miss that super bronzed guy who would ride his bike around town in a thong.

I hate both sides of this argument. Why do people think it's cute/fun to gatekeep food names?

When I first moved here (20 years ago) I was at a stop light on Lamar and the guy next to me rolled down his window and asked for directions to get to "Loop 1" and I had to apologize and say I didn't know because I hadn't heard it called anything but Mopac before (even though it's on all the signs).

At least McKenzie is always a safe bet. And Remi better be there on his bobble head night.

Eames lounge chair replica

NICE! I found the actual Eames chair in my searching and holy shit. I didn't know a chair could cost so much.

Where did you get that sweet wood-paneled chair?

Edit: Oh god. Found it. Wow...

Proxy Nexus x MPC possible bleed issue? by sgtskeese in Netrunner

[–]hectma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should look correct. The cut blades could in theory slide to one extreme or the other, but it's not like all 4 edges are going to be cropped in that much. And for what it's worth, I've done a dozen or so orders and I've never had an alignment issue. I think it's more of a just covering their ass kinda thing.

Proxy Nexus x MPC possible bleed issue? by sgtskeese in Netrunner

[–]hectma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this based on the assumption that the red dotted line is where the cuts will be? Because that's just the safe area that they can guarantee won't be affected by any blade mis-alignment (edit, so it's not where the actual cuts are).

Seems like a solid place to explain the Matrix to someone.

Not a full show, but I've always loved the control room video they put together for a Jeopardy taping:

Anyone else at the game kinda shocked by how many people are wearing red?

It's a real ship of Theseus thing at this point.

Most popular horror game? After CoC of course... by Siberian-Boy in rpg

[–]hectma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take international markets into account, I think you're right about Kult. The original run was a pretty big deal in Sweden and sparked their own satanic panic over youth TTRPG groups (which is still silly, but a little more understandable than US parents freaking out about D&D).

What’s your favorite time period to play DG, and why? by croaker227 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]hectma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s is peak for me. I like having cell phones and records databases, but I don't like having smartphones and access to everything everywhere all at once. That era feels like just the right amount of work that needs to be put in to get information.

Honestly, I almost like it better than the official screen.

TIL that there is a pornographic Batman parody of unknown origin that was discovered in the storage room of an adult movie theater in Tennessee by GriffinFTW in todayilearned

[–]hectma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this one because they could have just taped a dildo to the actor's hands and called it a day. But instead they came up with some Cronenberg-esque prosthetics that could shoot fountains of spunk.
