Saw a lynx cross the road ahead of us in the Yukon.

Mushroom and pepperoni.

Would love a proper Color Out of Space that is true to the original and set in the proper time period. The Nicholas Cage one is a fucking joke, and I had come fresh off of the original story when I had seen it.

My dream production would be an anthology series of Lovecraft's work, as true to the source material as they can possibly be. Doesn't matter if they're only 30 minute episodes.

Being an entire bear being eaten alive by an entire bear must be awful.

I only enjoy multi-player with my wife. Our Valheim settlement and world progression is something beautiful to behold. Even vanilla WoW for me is solo or bust. I just don't like people or Discord culture.

We thank you, oh Monolith, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us! May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will! Onward warriors of the Monolith, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Monolith!

Maybe it's high time to start fucking people like this up. Like, really fuck them up.

He's probably still alive and being tortured somewhere.

I don't find it particularly funny, but I certainly enjoyed the vibe of the entire skit.

I always tell myself I'm going to be fully self-aware when I enter the dream tube, but sadly I never remember if that happened or not.

I've been paying $25 CAD to support five family accounts and prevent my daughter from seeing ads during her monitored viewing. If that price goes up 30-50%, I'm fucking done. This was an expense I was willing to incur, as YouTube is literally the only media platform my family even uses anymore. Better price than cable and multiple streaming platforms, and (again) I'm paying that for five active accounts.

If anyone knows of a way for me to adblock through my Roku TV so that we can continue watching YouTube on it without a Premium account, I'm all ears. The TV is the only reason I'm not just using uBlock to begin with. I'm really not into the idea of hooking a laptop up via HDMI if I can avoid it. Just feels like a sloppy user experience for anyone else in the household wanting to watch YouTube on TV.

Nearly every server is different, but the ones my friends/wife and I always did (10+ years ago) were like role-playing kingdom building maps. Server owner (usually me) would hold the title of King/Sovereign and appoint their friends to specific roles. I would oversee the general development and expansion of the kingdom, as well as decide and manage a system of ore-based currency (or would at least create the mint and appoint someone to running it). Afterward I would introduce and gradually roll out phases of a larger storyline for anyone who cares.

My left and right hand would build/manage the keeps/barracks/military structures, or the government buildings/libraries/cultural centers, etc. These would all be injected with their own lore and staffed by the person in charge of them. Everyone else would receive more minor roles, but typically be given monopolies in certain types of goods or commerce. Maybe Bob wants to be a trapper. Sure, anyone else can legally go and gather leathers and animal parts, but Bob is the only one permitted to sell those items in his shop in the city. Things like that just to try to keep it interesting. When Bob isn't trapping or trading or being involved with the kingdom, he's pretty much just playing Minecraft on his homestead.

The idea is to open it up to the public (via applications and careful vetting) and watch people run amock in the simulated medieval economy. We used to have a blast doing it. Especially with mods installed that added skill progression, abilities at milestones and other MMORPG-esque mechanics.

Normal people, however.. They just do what they do in single player but occasionally trade, work together, tackle bosses, and show each other their latest creations.
