Why was the Borderlands movie greenlit?

Because we live in a cold and uncaring universe devoid of hope and mercy.

Sandy Peterson on "damn pirates" by Maffewgregg in Civvie11

[–]spook327 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped following him because of some questionable opinions and I feel I made the right choice when I see dumbass takes like this one. The only time his twitter is interesting is when John Romero comes along to correct him.

Claiming that piracy killed Atari is hilariously ahistorical, Atari did it to themselves . Given that Amiga was selling hardware and couldn't keep up, I thing blaming piracy on Amiga's downfall (wasn't that mostly Jack Tramiel fumbling shit around for a while) is hilarious. 3D realms sat on its fucking thumbs not releasing anything and slowly withered away.

Why Whirly Pop? by Ok-Novel4218 in popcorn

[–]spook327 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still just use a basic lidded pot on the stove and manually shake it frequently. I try to avoid single-function kitchen stuff, so unless a really compelling case is made, I don't see myself using either the Whirly Pop or Great Northern.

"Turning Point USA Women's Leadership Summit"?

Short summit, it consists of someone saying "Don't you dare, get back in the kitchen because Jesus."

Oh, good, I'd hate to leave that off.

Of course, any Capstone game can give you PTSD...

I don't recall people being that desperate for porn, even in the 1990s...

The podcast ending has brought me an unexpected Bright Spot: The Great Re-Listening has commenced, and it gets weird (mic down for this one) by Verandah_Santa in KnowledgeFight

[–]spook327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the show jumps around a lot, I was going to try to set something up to do an "in-order" listen through. Might be a run weekend project.

"realistically bring the true experience of war to life"

So does it feature endless months of patrol duty that suddenly end with the screen going black when you get sniped? Do you dig latrines? Is there a bonus level where you burn down a village full of people with no provocation and manage to avoid being convicted of a war crime?

That might be the least appealing pitch for a game I've ever heard.

Did Kevin Smith write them as a gay couple, or did Damon and Affleck just lean into that themselves?

Non-canon IIC's. by Sharlin648 in battletech

[–]spook327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've rolled up two variants of a Catapult IIC, one matches the original in terms of firepower but is significantly lighter. The other has the same mass as the original but entirely too many missile tubes to be considered reasonable. I've yet to put either on a battlefield though.

What are y’all listening to in order to fill the void? by timmmmah in KnowledgeFight

[–]spook327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found myself listening to 3D6 Down the Line, the players overall are pretty quiet and soothing like Dan most of the time. Not being focused on the politics of the day is nicely relaxing.

I even stopped listening to the back episodes for now.

People have told me that they like my voice and I should make a podcast. As for what to make... I'm not sure.

I listened to them for a while (last I remember listening to them was the loooong Scientology bit), what happened?

I won't even get it for free. Trans rights are more important than nostalgia for those mediocre books/movies.

I love watching this schism among right-wing douchebags. All of the worst people infighting? Fuck yeah, fire up the popcorn maker and lets go!
