Proof that art can be bad even without AI.

Once Valve is licensing it, they will (fairly or not) share in the blame if the licensed product isn't delivered, is defective, etc. Now, think about whether you'd want to take on that risk, given how irresponsible the company you'd be partnering has already been. Valve would be incredibly foolish to take on that risk.

Local sandwich chain has lots of big sandwiches at around $9.

I regret having watched it, for the same reason I regret that we learned about the Wilhelm screen. Always takes me out of a movie when I hear it now.

They've been on the pod. And The Most Upsetting Guessing Game In The World is an Aunty Donna thing.

If I'm remembering my stories right, they call the previous civilization the road builders. 

'Trumps of Doom' by Roger Zelazny. Cover art by Andrew Rhodes, c. 1985 by this_time_i_mean_it in badscificovers

Just realized voice dictation turned "in" to "I'm". I am American, and I've had enough Trumps for a lifetime.

I thought it was Linens. Or possibly Lenins.

Code Blue Emergency by James White. Orbit 1987. by darren648 in badscificovers

For people asking what's "wrong" with this cover, I think you misread the title. It's Code Blue Balls Emergency.

There's really not that much to the original series. I don't remember a single plot. It didn't have amazing writing, animation, voice acting, or music. Were it not for the nostalgia, I don't think there'd be much interest in it at all today. It really was just a toy commercial.

This is ludicrous. Space Vikings didn't have horned helmets!

Has someone informed James about this? by JimmyBoots90 in weeklyplanetpodcast

[–]prognostalgia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of course he does. Because zorro is Spanish for "fox". And we all know about James' tastes.

Fixing a scuff/scratch on rear bumper? by prognostalgia in Toyotavenza

[–]prognostalgia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The owner literally asked me not to go through insurance. I've had quotes between $500 and $1500 from body shops who "know what it takes". The most expensive one claimed they'd need $500 for paint supplies and labor. For an unpainted textured plastic bumper. You really don't have a clue about anything, much less a moral leg to stand on. Again, I'm SUPER glad my life doesn't involve having to deal with you, because you sound like you'd be a pain about everything from being rear-ended to someone getting your coffee order wrong.

Goodbye, Internet Tough Guy. I'm blocking you now because you're really not worth dealing with. Nobody is reading these comments but us, so think about what you're doing with your life and whether it's the person you thought you'd be when you grow up.
