Not just have a shower. Turn on some music you loved in your teens and twenties and sing your heart out in the shower.

It always makes me feel better.

I used to drop that line into trade chat in WoW and watch the corrections come flying in from all directions. 🤣

I suspect that was part of the idea. It’s a murder show taking place in NYC, but still limits the murders to a single building. It’s the extreme version of this quirk of the genre.

Major difference is it’s one(ish) murder per season, rather than one per episode.

Good question.

Luck is always an element of success. I’m confident there are other indie titles with similar levels of gameplay, music, and art style, with just as much passion poured in, that just never caught the viral wave. It’s a big world out there.

Obviously the dev set their project up well for that success, making it more likely, but it’s still a dice roll.

I’ve heard very successful movie/TV actors talk about seeing nobodies blow their minds in local theater productions, people who never got the stroke of luck required to make it big. Plenty of successful people forget that they owe no small part of their success to luck.

The guy gunning for a Nobel Peace Prize wants a Department of War.

Yep. As a spinoff it would’ve been fine. As a season of Scrubs, it was terrible.

With rewatches, I always pause after the eighth season and come back for the ninth as a spinoff.

There is absolutely no reason why I can’t want another season of something I enjoy. As long as it isn’t another season with Dave Franco.

You are proof that people with different opinions can agree on things. I agree about wanting more Scrubs, but baby Franco was probably the best part of that terrible 9th season.

Me: *looks up from Stardew Valley* What main story missions?

Not surprising, the same way /r/atheism was, for a while at least, more like /r/antichristianity. Part of the identity is opposition to “the enemy.”

Personally I think that part of the identity is unhelpful, and focus is better put on the identity being about what makes it the better choice. Like Dems losing in 2016 and 2024 because a good chunk of their messaging was “look how bad Trump is,” which only served to broadcast Trump even more.

(That’s not to say that complaints aren’t valid, it’s just a poor way to structure an identity.)

Strong Bad singing voice:

“If you want it to be a possessive it’s just I-T-S, But if it’s supposed to be a contraction then it’s I-T-apostrophe-S…scalawag.”

Once the military control and election suppression are in place, you don’t need the “charisma” anymore.

Ad-free subscription services that actually benefit the creators are exceedingly rare.

Believe it or not, YouTube Premium is one of them. A Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view to a creator.

(Obviously Patreon is better, as they can’t make a living off of only Premium views because it’s a smaller group; the population of ad-supported users is much much larger. But YouTube Premium does benefit the creators more than ad-supported YouTube does.)

Isn’t it funny how news bias bubbles work? The articles about the update causing SSD failures were everywhere on Lemmy. But after thousands of hours of testing from Microsoft, Phison, and various journalism outlets, the issue isn’t replicable. But I haven’t seen that reported on here at all because it doesn’t make Microsoft look bad.

Microsoft is plenty bad, we don’t need to massage data to make them seem even worse.

(To be fair I wasn’t on Lemmy much this weekend, it’s possible I just missed this.)

and not being made under exploitive labour conditions.

It’s that last one that’ll get you.

How dare you make such a dangerous wish.

There are plenty of men’s pants with just the front and rear pockets!

Yeah! Last time I go into a store called “Destination XL.”

(I’m joking, I saw the rest of your comments about this.)

Fuuuuuuuck yes, a playlist to binge.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved and later Geometry Wars 2 were some of my favorites one the Xbox 360. Dual-stick shooters with awesome, simple, crisp graphics that, during the transition from CRT to LCD TVs, made LCDs look GORGEOUS.

3 is a phenomenal addition to the series (if relatively old now). It has all the modes from the previous two, and an “adventure” mode. Fantastic pick-up-and-put-down title to play when you have a bit of time or need something to distract the ADHD brain. And it’s cheap!

Man I miss Mock the Week.

(I know this wasn’t Mock the Week, it’s just what I know Dara from.)

I might be wrong, Frank, but my reading of the text says that freed slaves fall under “the whole Number of free Persons” and thus count as 1, not three fifths.

The three fifths compromise just said slave states shouldn’t get to count slave population to get more representatives. The non-slave states wanted them not to count at all, since they don’t get representation regardless. It’s wild to me that we think of the “three fifths of all other persons” thing as the bad part, rather than the “rich assholes who owned people got more representation than those who didn’t own people because the people they owned counted toward their representative allotments.” After all, the slave owners wanted slaves to count as a full person. The problem, as always, was slavery.
