Replaying Witcher 3. The news of the upcoming DLC made me wanna check it out again, even though the DLC is at least a year away. I hadn't played it since before the "Next Gen" upgrade, so was curious to see how that looked too.

The game holds up, and the graphics for the landscapes and buildings is still top tier. The only thing showing its age is the faces of the characters, mainly the human ones. But human faces are always a challenge, no matter the budget!

I'm so autistic that the idea of mixing any kind of food with bodily greaseholes is beyond horrendous to me, even if it's something other than stinking cheese. Like, I’ll happily chomp on whatever bodypart you want me to, but if you first drizzle delicious syrup on it, forget it. Food and sexjuices are non-overlapping magesteria.

 

I assume one becomes a chef because they have a love for cooking and food and the artistry involved, but I can't think of anything more eroding to that love of the craft than the kind of working day I see chefs and other kitchen staff go through. It seems to an outsider like me that it's basically a shift-length panic attack, every day. But that can't be the case, or no one would do the job!

 
 

For example, what kind of story would Geralt the Witcher tell his kids? "Once upon a time there was some normal everyday shit that went how it always goes"?

Must be the equivalent of realworld kids saying "Daddy tell me the story about the Tesco delivery again! The one where they forgot the 2L bottle of Pepsi Max!"

In this case, "sucking dick" is a euphemism for "having your ass handed to you constantly and easily". Kinda like how "I fucked the dog" means "I messed that up badly" and not "I literally fucked a dog".

I'm not on the list, but I happened to scroll randomly onto this fella when checking:

I think the environmental knock-on effect of wiping out all gorillas might cause more than one human to die in the future, directly or indirectly.

Also, gorilla dicks are small and they cum pretty much instantly, so you could easily get through all gorillas on Earth in an afternoon. Matt Walsh might get it done in 20 minutes, what with his extensive experience of sucking huge amounts of dick on Twitter.

To be fair, I bet he absolutely nailed that job. It's like Hannibal Lector being in charge of catering.

Great wee game, def worth checking out if you're into that sorta thing.

Why is a mixed race immigrant to at least 3 different countries trotting out racist gibberish about black people like he's a white nationalist on the Steam forums?

 

It's kinda strange to imagine a person's face being locked out of the arts because a character or actor who looked like them got there first.

Witcher 3 hard copies required activation to your GOG account before they could work. Hitman (2016) was 70% locked behind the worst DRM in human history, but they sold it on their store until they were pressured by customers not to.

And Devotion still ain't 'preserved' because the CCCP hivemind told them not to have it on their site, and they obeyed instantly.

GOG can suck all the dicks with that self-righteous bullshit.

| and they’re also easier on the eyes

This is my main reason for preferring to read on e-readers. A book is a long-ass journey, and to be staring at a regular screen for that long can be painful business.

I also like that there's at least the suggestion of old-school physical connection to the book. It's a device that does just one thing (and is very good at it as a result), and you find yourself treating it the way you used to treat a paper book. I guess it's the same sort of "positive friction" you get when you listen to vinyl or something like that. Makes the experience a bit nicer. Like, yeah, you could open notepad on a smartphone and read the complete works of Shakespeare for free in Courier New font, having to scroll every 2 paragraphs, but who the fuck wants to do that?

The basic form factor of the book has been perfected over centuries, and e-readers emulate it to a fair degree.

I think most e-readers are waterproof, too 🤔 One would hope so, at least! Reading in the tub or on a beach is one of the benefits of its portability.

 

It's considered invasive in Indian and Pacific Ocean islands, and is native to the United States. Much to my surprise, there's no mention of Australia!

Be safe out there 💀🗡️🐌

 

TL;DR: There are two levels of annoyance here. One is the person having to use wanky language to get around censorship. The other is the person who can't help but take to the comments and complain about it, boringly, and without any attempt to offer solutions. I put it to you, good sir, that person #2 is the one who ought to give his larynx a rest.

Yeah, it's annoying to see and hear the words "unalived" and "ess ehhed" in place of "murdered" and "sexually assaulted", but they are not words people use in speech in the real world or even when talking to each other directly online. They are like "LOL"; only demented cunts (or people being ironic) walk around the real world saying "ell oh ell". No one is running down the street screaming "he's trying to unalive me, someone help!" Language is doing just fine.

People in the comments under videos which use these terms are incessantly complaining about "brainrot" being the death-knell of language. These people are tedious wankers who need to chill the fuck out and find something else to fret over, like microplastics or fascism. We all understand why these annoying terms are used, and it's not because the people using them enjoy using them. If they want their content to make it through a blunt and braindead censorship algorithm, they have no choice. We all know this. So maybe shut the fuck up about it? "Unalived" is not a hot new word being used by kids; these words are not changes to the language, they're linguistic backdoors that allow people to say what they need to say while simultaneously not triggering a censorship bot, and that's all they are.

And not for nothing, and somewhat off-topic, but literally every generation that has ever existed frets over the youth's behaviour and the way they use language. Even Plato was whining about it in exactly the same way people do today. This doesn't need to be a tradition you blindly adhere to. You can choose to not be that old reactionary fuck talking apocalyptically about the next generation and just accept that language is and always will be an organic and ever-shifting entity, and that the only people who attempt to crowbar it into a rigid relational database are grating bores and grammar nazis, or, god forbid, the French.

 

The shrink served 5 years of a 12-year sentence for the murder.

 

Patrick Walker, the founder and frontman of the band, has put out a lot of great work under the 40 Watt Sun band name in the interim, which is also worth checking out if you're into doom metal.

 

The violent jerky mannerisms, the yelling, the crazy blonde hair; it's all there!

 

Surely "byce" or "bickle" would make more sense as a shorthand/colloquialism 👀
