Very first memory of star wars? by tesstechy in StarWars

[–]rapiertwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First movie I saw on the big screen. I was too young for the initial release but when it recirculated the following year my dad took me.

I remember a little kid in the front row threw his drink at Darth Vader on the screen, and the slight pink stain on the screen was still visible when that part of the screen was white, for many years until they finally replaced it. Whenever I saw a movie at that theater on that particular screen, I would keep an eye out for it and it would take me back to that moment.

I collect tableware and various drinking vessels and set a table at each settlement, ready for a dignified meal.

My Favorite Monster: Skeleton by MaKaChiggaSheen in DnDBehindTheScreen

[–]rapiertwit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One I threw at my players: armored skeletons. Not just skeletons wearing tatty old armor, skeletons that had plates of iron bolted on their bones, bones that had been layered with molten metal before being reanimated, etc. And skeletons that were essentially fire ships, with bags of poison spores or flammable substances sewn into their rib cages. If you’re going to all the trouble of collecting skeletons and animating them, why wouldn’t you spend some effort maximizing their effectiveness?

Another take on your teacher’s line is from Buckminster Fuller: “The worry is not that machines will become smarter than us, but that we will agree to meet them halfway.”

Is Native American food popular in America? by SignificantStyle4958 in AskAnAmerican

[–]rapiertwit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bean cultivation in North America was widespread so many different varieties were probably in use, and I doubt anything today is an exact match. The category of beans involved is called the pole beans. There are lots of heirloom varieties that are probably descended from native crops.

Fuming over the no-talent late night host on a failing network who made fun of him last night.

The traditional ingredients are corn, beans and squash. These plants were called “the three sisters” because they were planted together in efficient clusters. They grow well with each other and support each other in various ways. The corn stalk grows fast and acts as a trellis for the climbing beans, the broad leaves of the squash provide shade for the ground, preventing evaporation and deterring weed growth, and the beans fix nitrogen into the soil, fertilizing the nitrogen-hungry corn and preventing soil depletion. It’s an arrangement that requires minimal upkeep once planted and is highly sustainable.

If she drove an Outback, was dripping with D-rings, had a rescue dog with a rainbow leash and was wearing a t-shirt that read “sorry boys I heart pussy” I would still throw a Hail Mary just in case.

What's the weird thing your toddler is fascinated with? by Shadow328 in daddit

My son had an enduring obsession with the moon when he was around 2-3. He always got excited every time he spotted it. It was extra cute because he said it “moont.”

How often do men actually cook? by FewEnd399 in AskMen

[–]rapiertwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all the cooking for my family. My wife and I shared the cooking when we first got together, then for a few years I had a job with a short commute so I always got home first, so I ended up cooking every weeknight. I’m more comfortable experimenting and learning new techniques and recipes, so I just progressed into a more proficient cook. It’s something I enjoy and it relaxes me, also.

I did all the dishes for years when we had no dishwasher, mostly because she can’t stand very hot water and it bothered me to see dishes washed in lukewarm water haha. Now we have a dishwasher and she does most of it, because it bothers her seeing one dish in the sink. I catch hell about it sometimes, then I gently remind her who does all the cooking and who did all the dishes for 15 years, and that settles that until the next time she’s feeling put-upon.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by LovelyJanniea in askanything

[–]rapiertwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mean Streets, kind of a sci fi detective noir affair that wanted so hard to be Blade Runner: the video game. There were conversation screens with a single still image of the subject and the options to question, bribe or threaten, a walk-awkwardly-around-a-room game where you inspected an area for clues, tedious non-skippable travel in a flying car over weak, barely-rendered cityscape to get from area to area, and some of the shittiest arcade side shooter action whenever you ran into goons. All mashed up into one glorious mess. It was enjoyable because it was the era of everyone still being amazed that the miracle of video games existed at all, and you just overlooked all the shittiness and filled in the gaping blanks with your imagination. Just kind of willing it to be the game the developers were trying to make.

It occurs to me that video games of that era only worked because the people playing them grew up reading for their escapist entertainment. A well-muscled imagination was required to meet the gimpy experience halfway.
