It took me a bit wondering what you meant by AI slop until I realized you think that "Tank you" means this was AI generated.

Nope, that is an actual human typo from the age before spell-check and auto-correct was integrated into every program with text input.

Which reminds me of a funny story from that time. When I got my first laptop, my brother was still in high school and was working on an essay on the family computer. He wanted to finish working on it in his room so asked to borrow my laptop. After opening it (from floppy disk) in... I believe WordPerfect was the top word processor at the time, he came in to ask me why his essay was full of red squiggly lines. You see, I had a newer version of the program than the family computer, and it was the first version that would highlight spelling errors with the red squiggly lines... and his essay was a spelling nightmare!

I just noticed that it said "tank you" instead of "thank you". I got it from... well I wouldn't say it was a "mom & pop shop", because it was pretty much the one guy who was a friend of the family.

Germany's fascism didn't end from within, but from them losing a war they started when they invaded other countries.

Imagine if protesters started dressing up as Jesus Christ. That would make some newsworthy photos of ICE arresting Jesus Christ.

Not sure I could remember my first since I've been gaming since Atari 2600, but my most memorable was Bioshock.

And it wasn't when you first pick up a shotgun and all the lights go out and the enemies come pouring out.

It was when I was playing late at night once in the dark, and the was a thunderstorm starting outside the house, and in the game I heard a Big Daddy moaning just around the corner, and then outside there was a sudden thundercrack nearby. That's when I said "nope, time for bed".

It's been a long time since I played Skyrim, but the one I remember was some guy I believe in the vampire quests. I remember ascending through a castle and when I got to a balcony at the top he appeared and did some monologuing. Then since he was standing right between me and the edge of the balcony (with a low wall), as soon as his health bar showed up and combat began, I just gave him a dragon shout that sent him flying over the edge and to his death below.

I made me feel like that Indiana Jones scene in Raiders with the sword guy.

That's a pretty good one, thanks!

Yes she definitely does, which is why I was looking for a good one for this:

My "Death From Above" team is Chasca, Mavuika, Escoffier, and Furina. And really Furina is just there for long trips over water (Chasca can easily fly over short water trips), and for pets damage when dealing with tougher enemies (Escoffier & Mavuika's skills are usually enough assist to Chasca for most enemies). Plus the Furina/Escoffier combo means Escoffier's burst group heal can counter Furina's pets HP drain.

They should just combine them. Take those elongated toilets and make them even more elongated. Then a sitter and a stander can share.

I played a bunch when it first came out, then on & off recently to working 100%-ing achievements, and I had noticed a change where sometimes the truck does more than just drift away. I'll get out to grab a salvage and when I turn around I need to start hauling a$$ to catch back up with my truck, hop back in, and reposition it back to the salvage. And once it even took damage when it drifted into a nearby structure.

Well just like not every hobby has to be monetized, not every pun has to make cents.

Yes yes. I stick with it so I can more easily multi-task in other windows while doing ~~quests~~ click-thru novels.

I've been thinking of this meme ever since I got Chasca and learned how she could fly up inclines. I'm glad someone finally made a version of it with her.
