I remember the first video game I ever played: Space Wars, just outside a canvas tent on a chilly gray day at the Tulsa State Fair, in 1978. I also played Space Invaders and Night Driver. Wheedled a couple bucks out of Mom and she was appalled at how fast it disappeared. Little did she know.

Well, the *worst* that could happen is a retaliatory nuke going off in New York Harbor and/or San Francisco Bay 20 years from now. But lifelong terrorists never rise from the ashes of a humiliated state. Right?

My schoolteacher wife and I (a university IT pro) both paid hundreds in federal and state tax.

Admittedly it was about 30% less than we paid last year. But it still sucked donkey balls.

In a 32-bit world, you're a two-bit user. You got your own newsgroup, alt.total.loser.

I'm thinking of starting a company which provides all-natural products wholesale to businesses. I'll call it "BizNatch."

Take me down to Paraphrase City, where it's nice.

The government now has to refund the illegal tariffs they took back to the importers.

Those of us who've paid the importers' huge fees during this period, of course, get nothing.

If you're not lead dog, the view never changes.

But if you ARE lead dog, you don't get to stare at butts all day long.

So, priorities.

"Angels and Demons" is just the Monty Python sketch "The Bishop" padded out to two hours. "We was ... too late! Cardinal Guidera took a ... dirt nap."

If I were driving in the video game Frogger, I'd probably at least slow down if I were confronted by a frog the size of my ENTIRE CAR.

Once, Albert Einstein was so preoccupied thinking about a theorem that he left his house and got halfway to the street before he realized he wasn't wearing pants.

Me age 15, first hearing this story: Ha, what a weirdo!

Me now: Kinda surprised that hasn't happened to me already, to be honest

Running some of my (entirely hand-typed) game reviews through an AI detector has shown that I'm anywhere between 2.7% and 99% robot.

This does not compute.

I cultivated the soul of a poet in my youth, in hopes that people would see past my somewhat oddly shaped exterior and fall in love with the person within.

What I discovered instead is that nobody likes poets.

I made a joke about RFK Jr's toilet seat on Facebook and now I'm restricted for a month for "condoning drug use."

I believe in the essential goodness of all people.

Nobi Nobi (English Edition) Collector Box | Novice Novice Table Talk Role Playing Game Purple Monkey Dishwasher: The Game Hot on the heels of my last card-based TTRPG review, another one just crossed my doorstep. Nobi Nobi (sometimes written with β€œTRPG” on the end) is a 2017 Japanese c...

The English version of Nobi Nobi will finally add the Cyberpunk and Steampunk sets, which made me pump my fist victoriously in an empty room.

I honestly cannot stop thinking of that one lady who chides people for spending months to write one book when she can churn out hundreds of AI books in the same frame. She just squats in my consciousness like a gargoyle, or some museum piece that I circle wide-eyed in wonder.

Two things I need to have happen in Doomsday:

1. The Johnny/Spidey frenemy-bromance.
2. Doom's face scarred to all fuck due to his pride and arrogance.

Anything else is negotiable.
