I have a soft spot for games that don't just call shit "Agility" or "Wisdom". Like hell yeah, call it "Might" call it "Gumption" call it "Verisimilitude"

usb ports can do amazing things, like somehow disconnecting the same mouse twice in a row without reconnecting inbetween

A painted piece of my Disco Bandit OC, Nicky. He is staring straight-on at the viewer; his lapels are smoking. Beside him are three miniature stickmen representing himself: one walking while holding a banjo, one looking down at a goose holding out a photo to him, and one holding a poisoned martini outstretched by one arm, with a bag branded full of Meat at his feet. In the background is a drawing from Kingdom of Loathing of a page out of Your Father's Macguffin Diary. Above him are three patterned snakes.

I got a catalog from the Honeybaked Ham company and the joke version would just be page after page of identical hams but that’s also what the real version is.

#EnigMarch Day 1, SEASON

Can you guess my favorite butt rock band? (6 letters.)

I saw them three times in one year.

1) Just as the first snow came
2) As the last cherry blossom fell from the tree
3) Right before I had to go back to school

Reply with the name of one of their songs.

I think every comment section should require you to take the Kingdom of Loathing literacy test before posting

The screenshot of the release notes reads:

A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
β€’ Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
β€’ First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
β€’ Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
β€’ Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
β€’ Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
β€’ Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
β€’ Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

This classic Nancy is a reminder of how much swearing the strip used to feature. Newspaper owners didn't like it, but the strip was so popular they had no choice but to run it uncensored. It was a different time
