Miles O'Brien

I don’t enjoy side-scrollers.

But I DO enjoy supporting people in the things they create.

Who cares if it’s not my cuppa. Who cares if there’s 10,000 similar things out there? And who cares if it doesn’t land on any “TOP TEN” lists?

Is hollow knight my thing? Nope.

But it’s rad as hell.

Sounds like my wife’s mother.

She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.

You deserved better from your parents.

Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

Fuck it I’m buying it now.

Half life 2 was my first “I can’t wait to get home and play” game, despite having played so many games from basically 97 onward.

It seems like every time it goes on sale, I am either between contracts or just not able to justify the unnecessary expense.

Now that I have more stable employment it hasn’t gone on sale.

Honestly this by itself might be enough to make me pay full price.

I wonder how long it took, considering they wrote a script to convert the original transcription into PZ usable stuff.

10/10 mod, no pattern buffer for you.

He was a union man.

The things I inherited from my grandpa are valuable.

0 chance I’d even consider selling them. I will be giving them away or willing them to people when I die/get older though.

Having worked in quite a few fields in the last 15 years or so, it’s the same active shooter training they give everyone. Even in stores that sell guns.

I’ll let the reader decide how fucked up it is that there’s basically a countrywide accepted “standard response”

you can only do that so many times before you run out of money, materials, water, or places to build

That’s someone else’s problem. Hopefully someone after they’re dead, but as long as they have their golden parachute, who cares?

That’s right up there with calling Epsteins victims “underage women” instead of CHILDREN

regular hours.

Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.

I make people hate me when I play monopoly. I hate the game as much as I hate the system it was originally meant to mock. So every so often, people I know will keep trying to get me to play.

Monopoly Pro Tip: buy everything you can afford, put as many of the little houses you can on it, but don’t upgrade to the big pieces. When there are no more small pieces, you can simply bleed everyone dry.

I’ve had people literally flip boards in anger.

And every time I hear someone say “that’s not fair”, I respond “I know it’s not, But ‘what’s fair’ doesn’t matter in capitalism.”

Yes, I get a little preachy with it.

But hey, I’ve almost never been asked to play again by the same person.

Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.

And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I’m sure there’s no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

And the Dr doesn’t have a gun pointed at him OR a boot on his neck for watching what’s going on interfering.

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn’t necessary.

Well as long as no one tries to convince me there are more than four lights…

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

This movie was my jam back in the day.

I don’t care what critics or even fellow nerds say, it’s fantastic and if they want to fight about it they can meet me on Bob and settle this with heavy plastic swords like Gilgamesh intended.
