AI is inherently bad in the way that, say, necrophilia is bad. "This project only used a tiny bit of necrophilia." "Necrophilia is a powerful tool in the hands of talented programmers." These opinions come from brains surrounded by wavy comic book stink lines. They must be ignored and incinerated
Honestly, it's as good a reason to buy a greeting card as any other
One nice thing about baking is anything less than a normal portion doesn't count. If you eat a sliver of pie it's not a slice, so you did not eat any pie. Half a brownie is no brownie at all, even if you have three halves throughout the day.
My favorite comic book character is this guy! No particular reason! I just feel like he gets me!
I voted. Climbed up the ladder behind the big vertical board. Dropped the puck. Watched it bounce between the pegs. High-fived the nice lady in the sequin dress when the puck slid into the slot with Weird Al's face, making him the new president.
The RPG bits were disappointing, but you have to admit Fallout 4 had terrific environmental design
it's criminal that all of these Sam & Max comics have been out of print for like 20 years

People shouldn't be rewarded for touching laptop screens. They should be punished. Make screens burn fingers like a hot stovetop. Simultaneously correct bad behavior and improve thermal performance with one elegant feature
This watch comes out soon and it's my exact favorite color. But also too much of my favorite color? It might not be legible if I leaned against an NYC taxi with easy cheese in my eyes
Digging into obscure 90s PC games is great. Every branch of design hadn't been codified to hell and back, so all sorts of stuff was being thrown at the wall to see what stuck.

wwhen i was in japan earlier this year at a train station there was a little security robot roomba type thing that was stuck between the wall and a pole or whatever and it was repeating something in japanese and then would say in an american voice "SECURITY ROBOT... UNHAPPY"
Wanted an October movie like Ghostwatch, found something closer to the heightened, hokey videos they play in theme park ride lines. 1994's Without Warning is a pleasant soak in 90s broadcast news with some "Hey, I know them!" moments, goofy melodrama, and Philip Baker Hall flubbing a line
"Garbage in garbage out" is a wonderful phrase. It's the shortest route between two garbages. It's also the seventh simple machine. Place two garbage in garbage outs facing one another, and you've got perpetual motion.
The universe contains no greater gulf than the one between "replacing the kitchen tube bulb should be easy" and reality. The word ordeal originated from this exact situation.
Finally got to the bottom of the 27-year-old mystery that's been HAUNTING the videogame industry since its discovery

When you make a good joke on here, this is the dream outcome
Listen to EMF's "Unbelievable" and tell me that isn't the most Mario Paint song created outside of Mario Paint. The dog woof and baby "eh-ehh!" could slide in there without notice.
Did you know: The average human body contains more bones than the entire sun?
Shortly after I published this, that JAV titles account took the ball and ran with it. Every time it pops up (like today with the Onion owner posting it) I regret treating it as a one-off idea www.somethingawful.com/news/japanes...

Going into debt to order custom furniture made of PS1 games so when it's delivered I can ask "Is this seat Tekken?"
You know a boss fight's about to get real when these guys float in
When the only tool you have is a Warhammer 40K, every problem looks like a Warnail 40K
Sit, human. Bad news. The scan indicates bones in you. We need to get them out immediately.
back in the 90s it seemed clear that we would get ever more powerful babecubes as computer technology advanced. but that future never came to pass.
