Enough time has passed now that I can reveal that, before his death, Scott Adams and I were working together on an incredible new character for the Dilbert comics. Everyone, please meet “Assbert”!

Assbert, a new character who was going to be added to the Dilbert comics until Scott Adams died.

Someone on this floor has the most annoying text tone in the world and they whistle it out every time it goes off. I am going to blow my brains out.

I hate having to summarize stories people already know. Like, it's Snow White. You already know what happens in Snow White. Why do I have to do this?

I'm so fucking tired of having to have 2FA on everything. Just hack all my shit, honestly. Give me a reason.

I don't care if it's an alternate take that wasn't released, you can't put a fucking Beatles song in the "best new songs" category. Fuck outta here.

I still haven't finished Townfall, but I have kind of reached the end of my patience with it.

Is it just me, or is [thing I grew up with and which represents the time in my life where I was happiest and had the fewest responsibilities or concerns] just hit differently???

Man, every single day Zohran Mamdani is out here proving that it's actually very easy for people in power to do things that are beneficial to everyone and also hugely popular and it turns out most of the people in charge are just huge pieces of shit who don't want to do that for some reason.

That was Scott’s primary contribution. I kept asking him that same question and he just kept insisting “ASSBERT MUST HAVE A BONER” between extremely wracking coughing fits. I assume the answer would have been revealed in a strip, but alas, we never made it.

When Pup the band said "I just don't wanna die, and I don't wanna live" I felt that.

Also, there have been times I've been reluctant to do something my friends wanted to, and then it turned out I had fun doing it anyway, because I was with my friends. But I guess if you're friends with a guy like this, you probably aren't much fun to be around.

000

Sometimes when my friends want to do something I don't want to do, I just say something like "That's okay, you guys have fun. I'll catch you later." and then I hang out with them a different time instead of using the plagiarism machine to force myself to do something that isn't fun for me.

I dunno man, I look at the news and it's like, what are we supposed to do?

I think in a just society you would not be able to accrue tens of billions of dollars worth of debt buying out your rival organizations and gutting their staff.

I kind of want to see Digger out of morbid curiosity, but I don't think I have the patience to sit through two hours of Inarritu's version of the Tom Cruise Tropic Thunder bit.

I also interviewed for a management position once on my manager's recommendation and I don't think the interview panel liked my stance that my first responsibility as a manager should be to my employees.

Fundamentally I think the main reason my career is going nowhere is my inability to pretend I think every stupid decision is a great idea.

Honestly, of all the things Sebastian COULD be watching, this seems like a pretty decent compromise.

But Sonic fans are famously very normal!

Sometimes I don’t know how I’m supposed to go on living in a world that seems hellbent on tearing itself apart.

For another, we really do need to stop having anything to do with the royal family.

For one thing, it would probably go a long way to improving relations with Quebec.

Instead of replacing the dead queen with prince Chuck, they should put Maurice Richard on the 20 dollar bill.

AND all that jazz? In THIS economy??

Finally a good video game where you can play as Terry O'Quinn.

I really don't give a shit what Rahm Emanuel thinks and I don't think anybody else needs to, either.

If I have to see another fucking picture of the goonbait gender swapped harry potter character I'm going to fucking [my lawyers have advised me not to finish this post]

Yes, yes, you're very terrifying, now can your pathing please take you out of the room so I can finish solving this puzzle I figured out the solution to twenty minutes ago?

Think we've probably hit the ceiling for "big unkillable monster chases you around" in horror games, tbh.

About 2/3 of the way through Silent Hill Townfall and I understand why everyone begged the Soma devs to add a mode where the monsters aren't hostile.

Officially, they're the Martians, but I always called them the Yip-yips, because of how they said "Yep yep yep yep yep yep" all the time.

With each passing year I realize more and more that the correct choice at the end of Dark Souls is to extinguish the flame.

These guys fucked me up so bad when I was really little.
