Relevant CGP Grey

Any word on if cross-platform multiplayer will be supported? Would love to play with my nephew but he's a PlayStation kind of guy.

The curse of Fëanor runs long

I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

That's what she said.

You ever try emptying your clip at an entire Ikea?

No... but you probably just aroused a few dozen ammosexuals.

I love Nightwish, and this is a great cover.

Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.

Edit: just posted the video over in !gundam@possumpat.io if anyone is interested

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Engineer Guy went years between ~~books~~ uploads. I had to do a double take when he came up in my feed a few months ago.

Live with underlying existential dread for decades. Watch as "doing what you love" becomes "hating what you used to love because you're forced to do it so that there's enough numbers in the computer to prove that you're worthy of continued existence." Contemplate the pointlessness of it all on a daily basis. Be reminded that your feelings are invalid because "other people have it worse" every time the topic comes up. Nod listlessly as "successful" people tout their own hard work while ignoring any factor luck and privilege played, then tune out when they shift into the dissonant duet of "I succeeded because I am exceptional" and "anyone can do the same if they just work harder."

Wake up the next morning and realize there's roughly 30 more years of this, barring a massive coronary or aneurism or something.

Is it weird, as a tail end gen x/elder millennial, to really hope Lehrer was right about this one?
