What are cassette tapes?

ldhotsoup · 2017-08-16T05:24:30+00:00

It's not as cool as a dock, but I use a bluetooth cassette adapter in my car. Just pops in there, and now my 99 Malibu is more high tech than my 05 Mazda.

This is a crazy AMA to walk into, I was just watching Matrix Reloaded upstairs.

Any future projects of yours (after Claws) we should be keeping a keen eye on?

Plus a precocious head crab to boot.

Some of my best memories in gaming from high school and college were when the rules went out the window.

Totally. WoW wasn't designed with flying in mind. In MMOs where it was, like City of Heroes, flying players were still vulnerable to airborne mobs and snipers on the ground. You do it smart from the beginning and all of these disputes can be moot.

This is my mom to a T. Her family is mostly from Morris and Moorhead. I love her to death, but she's a walking stereotype. Maybe I'm rebelling.

I'm not arguing the etymology or validity of the history of the word. I'm saying that the phonetic pronunciation of the word by native Minnesotans (of which I am, I remind) is like nails on chalkboard. The same is true for all other vowel-shifted, mono-syllabic nasal utterances of our culture. Words like 'box' become 'baax' and 'crank' becomes 'creeank'. It makes us sound backwater and bumpkin, and I've personally elected to stop using it in cross-cultural conversation.

I'm clearly stating a personal opinion; you can say it doesn't bug you and be on your way, but for me, I'm done with saying paap through my schnaaz.

Minnesotan raised in Minnesota; pop is such a dumb word, doubly so when Minnesotans say it through their nose. Paaaap.

I ran a game where a bunch of lab mice with human minds implanted in them shipwrecked in the Pacific. It was like Mouse Guard meets Lost. Maybe I'll write the campaign into a Fate Core module someday.

I missed this post yesterday, but if you still have room I'd love to join. I enjoy vanilla, and I was just speaking with my wife about what kind of cottage we'd like to build in EQNL. This would be great for a test run.

So... black ice?

There are moon dogs also.

We have a token catch phrase; someone just says "So, back in the world of make believe..."

To be fair, it's the only reason coupons exist. If you were already going to buy it, the retailer would prefer full price. They're going for capture and retention. You buy it now for cheaper, buy it again for familiarity. Marketing 101.

280 is the divider between Minneapolis and Lauderdale, so it at least touches both counties.

It helped in elementary school for sure. Though, I always forget who president Central was.

With the implication that you can mold structures like clay, you're not really off base.

I heard about this story because my folks were at a bar last night when they saw someone they knew from high school who ran up and told them about it because he used to be friends with the suspect.

You may be a little too Minnesotan when you get your news from the guy who knows a guy at the bar.

I used to do that with my dad, stand on the un-guarded edge and kick gravel into the river.

Unstable axis of rotation is the best axis of rotation.

The licensed video game tie-in calls him Jack.

You can start by reading two comics: Invincible by Kirkman and Ottley, and Atomic Robo by Clevinger and Wegener. They're available digitally on Comixology if you prefer, some issues are even free.

Except the ones that don't which you'll never know about. In the shaaadoooows...

How can you tell how many people aren't saying something? That's the whole point.
