And sometimes during and/or because of the pettings.

How about fucking no.

I need a frog.

I once left my char in LOTRO auto running to go have sex. Came back to having gone offline from afk, but still alive and far from where I started, and a bunch of annoyed friends on Ventrilo. Would do again.

Ded, Dedd, and (off screen) Deddy.

I used to use ellipsis a lot and I guess I used it as a lead in from thought to thought and avoid making a new paragraph or something. Now when I see people overly use it, it’s really annoying and I cringe knowing I probably was no better.

It’s funny because even back then there was a younger guy I knew on Steam. I would give him a lot of flak for using <enter> like a comma. A single sentence or thought might be 7 or 8 lines for no reason, causing so many notification sounds that I’d get pissed at him before even reading the message (version 2 of the Steam message sounds were highly grating to me and I couldn’t tolerate them if it was continuous, probably misophonia before I knew it existed). I was pretty persistent in telling him to finish his thoughts in a single line. Years later he actually thanked me because he realized I wasn’t the only one who hated talking to him and couldn’t make meaningful connections online with friends. I just hope I wasn’t too much of a dick in telling him to correct it.

Anymore, I try to be as proper in punctuation as I can be. I’m sure when people see the ending period of a casual sentence in a text, they might read too much into it at first until they get used to me.

That’s why I use Emby. Paid for lifetime within a day of switch from Plex (which I also have has lifetime for like a decade) because it has a ton of plugins that have been useful and has a cloud server switch function.

Lol yeah I still have old adventure games on floppy and CD from like 95. Obviously don’t have a floppy drive anymore nor an optical drive in over a decade.

The first example I ever have seen and my favorite was that Day of the Tentacle had a computer that would allow you to play the entire first game, Maniac Mansion.

While I do agree it was memorable (shit, we’re talking about it literally decades later), they weren’t exactly appetizing for a restaurant ad. I don’t remember a single sandwich name from them so it didn’t give me any meaningful brand recognition. Maybe it worked at the time, but no idea.

At this point you’re just fighting semantics. Even a commercial NAS is reliant on the software too, like with Synology. They run the disk management but also can run Docker and VMs with their built-in hypervisor.

Lol by your definition, it’s only freedom if they follow your silly sky magician. So yeah, absolutely not.

Was thinking the same thing, we lost our last one like 15 years ago. Actually really liked their subs, but I’ll always think of those terrible ads with the Spongmonkeys. No idea wtf they were thinking with greenlighting those.

Yeah this is why I run a Mealie instance at home. Does a similar thing but also saves it to my own server where I can favorite things, setup cooking mode (shows ingredients per step), and even go to the original URL if my import missed something.

I still get the daily All Recipes emails about their recipe of the day and I’ve taken to deleting them immediately if they don’t give me the dish’s name in the subject because I’ll never have a need to look in my email for that recipe that some celebrity’s grandmother made for them as a kid.

I think you meant to reply to the comment I just made.

Nice touch adding it to the painting too.

That’s the level of inane all Hallmark movies are. Zero character development, no conflict plot devices, just a bunch of “awww that’s sweet” without making the audience use any kind of critical thinking. Eating cards is a step up.

Oh okay I see what you’re saying, but I took it as more than just that.

I’m sure you probably have more than just that one example, but in this instance I didn’t see it as being off from my decisions I guess. Overall, I felt the writing was pretty well done across the board.

Interesting that you felt the game assumed you made choices you didn’t, I hadn’t ran into that despite very frequently picking the less popular options. I won’t ask for specifics for obvious reasons, but that does make me curious whether there was a bug or a gap in logic. Definitely not a flawless game as gamepad is a very flawed input option when things get hectic, but damn the writing and action sequences had me hooked immediately.

Still can’t believe my first time through was only 7.5 hours. Can’t wait to go through with different choices.

Was it tall? If so, did she ever get off her high horse?
