“I use Estrogen as my operating system,” I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. “Actually”, he says with a grin, "Estrogen is just the kernel. You use GNU+Estrogen!’ I don’t miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn’t include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It’s Estrogen, but it’s not GNU+Estrogen.

The smile quickly drops from the man’s face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams “I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT’S STILL GNU!” Coolly, I reply “If Testosterone was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?” I interrupt his response with “-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long.”

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man’s life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I’ve womansplained him to death.

OrDUH! OrrDUH!

Watch the hoops that MattKC had to jump through to turn a working WiiU console into an actually working WiiU.

Language Transfer has been highly recommended in the past. I’ve only gotten through two lessons so far, but it seems like a good place to start, at least. It doesn’t have anywhere near as many languages as Duolingo does, though.

… No, sorry. The world building has such a great potential, but it’s clear that they had no direction after Monty’s death, and there are just so many random plot lines that they try to make stick, and then just never reference again. If it was just incidental stuff it might be possible to overlook, but it’s very foundational elements to the narrative that they just drop for no apparent reason.

Honestly if you’re feeling that way, you might just want to watch fight compilations on YouTube. The fight animations and the rest of the show were worked on almost completely separately, and you’ll have to get through at least season 3 before people stop clipping through objects, or background characters just being shadows.

See, I can get behind this 100%! Real, actual egalitarian society, and not constant isolationist/factionalist/nationalistic bickering.

Thank you for being honest and not flaming, I can certainly appreciate that perspective. I must be jaded from seeing people equate the EU and NATO so often.

I’ve seen a few lemmygrad users that aren’t tankies, but by far the majority are extremely opposed to the EU, NATO, etc. Nothing against you personally, just thought it was funny.

When someone literally named Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml praises the EU…

Brb, gonna go ice skating in Hell!

Oh, come on, in that time period Google’s made several dozen copies of the same service! And some of them even lasted longer than a year before being killed!

And Microsoft has been steadily rewriting the book on naming schemes in a valiant effort to confuse you no matter which of their product lines/ services you need, and all while graciously providing Candy Crush and telemetry free of charge!

Yeah, his shtick of being the weird anti-social sardonic ass got old real fast once it became clear that it wasn’t an act (or once it was an act for so long that it just became his personality). I think working around him and Geoff specifically would have been extremely draining, having to walk on eggshells all the time lest you become the object of ridicule on the podcast/let’s plays.

Looking up all the RT employees that I remember on Wikia, though, it was pretty surprising to see that they ended up being some of the least problematic people there, at least from a legal standpoint. They had their issues, which I don’t want to diminish, but it was always very transparent with them admitting they’re assholes pretty much every chance they got. But, like, Ryan was fired for sexual harassment and grooming, what in the actual fuck?

Obviously this is all parasocial, so who knows what they were, or now are, really like, but playing a dick for 20 years might just make you a bit of a dick.

Wow, end of an era, even for people like me that fell off the RT train years ago. RvB was such a hit (at least the first several seasons, it seems like they ended up making 19?!), and they pivoted to different types of content and kept trying to diversify revenue streams ever since (games, movies, podcasts, etc.)

RT should be remembered as failing in selling out to Fullscreen/AT&T/TimeWarner, etc, etc., but more importantly, engaging in honestly some pretty horrific working conditions that were exposed over and over again throughout the years. They eventually made some changes that moved the company away from being a bro-fest for pals, but only slightly and way too late.

The IP should still have immense value, so it will be interesting to see what happens in that arena.

I think, other than RvB, my favorite memories of RT revolve around Gavin and Monty (RIP). Hopefully the less popular/wealthy employees are taken care of, somewhere far from Austin. The founders though… Gus, Bernie, Geoff, Matt, etc. are all multi-millionaires and/or long gone anyway, and I’m pretty sure each of them have their own controversies to deal with…

I feel like Venture Bros. is a treasure-trove of unused RPGMemes

I think the message of the film was more that he was always good (to some extent) and that his earlier actions were influenced by his upbringing (in contrast to Metro Man’s)

Well, I guessed the Wordle first try today, so…

Mm, yes, but have you considered that their natural habitat may be cold, dark, wet, and rotating? And in depriving them of that, are you not the true monster?

Psht, yeah I remember iPhoneOS, that came out last year, right?
