Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

I think it’s because they’re quoting her use of the word. But I agree it’s almost indistinguishable from scare quotes when used around a single word like that.

FYI you can trim 80% of that. https://www.amazon.com/LEXiBOOK-Educational-Activities-Mathematics-Dactylography/dp/B0B6HKB3JF/ Amazon sure loves its tracking data.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Supposedly a lung infection caused by inhaling very fine volcano dust. Technically invented by a group of word puzzle fans, but it’s appeared in dictionaries.

This might also be the first time since I learned it (30+ years ago) that it’s been even close to relevant in a conversation.

A variant of Eat hot chip and lie.

There are way more rings than that, and they’re actually the best parts of the game. It gets so much worse in the levels without rings. Awful combat, terrible puzzles, inconsistent framerate, and thoroughly unclear objectives.

Oh, and everyone’s favorite: escort missions!

I hate the term “Quadruple-A”. The entire point of Triple-A was to be the biggest of the big. There’s no cap on that size.

Seems it’s a promo for season 2 of TOS and the show’s new timeslot on Fridays. The lettering is a nod to Laugh-In, and the whole timeslot shuffle is a long story.

Also I see Google has completely given up on quotation marks around phrases. So that’s fun.

Glad I’m not the only one. It looked like an extra forearm got jammed into the steering wheel. I found a clearer version but still can’t tell what’s behind the air freshener.

They have Doom and Wolfenstein too, and series they’ve seemingly abandoned like Dishonored and Evil Within. They’ve tried to expand to other games but have mixed results at best: HiFi Rush was an unexpected hit early this year, but Redfall was…well, not. The hype on Starfield fizzled pretty quickly too.

Ghostwire sadly got middling review scores. It had a promising reveal a couple years back, then spent a while in troubled development before releasing as a fairly basic open world game.

Didn’t the books reveal it was “what is 6x9”, and the calculation getting thrown off when humans arrived on Earth?

Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.

My favorite memory of it was from the first day: a friend telling me I couldn’t use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn’t put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek’s ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)

Seems silly looking back to think game devs wouldn’t care as much (or more!) as I did about Star Trek to add in ideas like that.

…sources were adamant that there were no political ties.

You just know someone’s proud of themselves for that line.
