In who framed Roger rabbit when Jessica says about Roger "he makes me laugh" and you can tell they have this deep connection that people don't understand, even though he's an idiot and she's the hottest thing on earth I think it's sorta like this comic

look. i know you might have heard someone say "oh that movie is fallout" or "oh that thing inspired fallout" maybe maybe. but this. this film is fallout. it feels like every time anyone is gonna work on a fallout project they lock them in a room with this film and go "learn and understand"

people think being a supervillain is about doing crimes, but the reality is if you're esoteric enough they often aren't classified as crimes. robbing a bank is illegal, but turning the money into rats and then turning them back once you've caught them? judge doesn't have shit on you. no precedent

a netrunner player coined the phrase "bad card theory of gravity" and it changed how i think about playing off-meta. usually people who play "bad" cards try to make them work by combining them with other bad cards, when the thing that actually makes bad cards good is playing them with very good cards. vivi is "bad" because she has never been a factor in standard, but you can make her good by playing good cards (rocks pirates, galdino, etc)

so i look it up. alright. i grew up reading my dad's collection and i know the score, there's a lot of horny 70s sci fi in the world. this is nonetheless a lot victor: "this is HDG." me: "this is 1960s HDG, yeah"
The Puppies of Terra by Thomas M. Disch. "A Human Pet's Escape from a Cosmic Paradise!" The cover art is a nude man in a dog mask, a necklace with a bone on it, and a glowing leash around his neck that trails up into the sky. Ever since the alien Masters had taken control, domesticating mankind with their energy-technology and the all-powerful mental Leash, the human condition had changed from toil and trouble to Total Wish Fulfillment. Only the Dingoes, the obstinate ones who resisted the Masters' Leash, weren't invited to the cosmic party. Poor Dingoes!

First published 1966.

We need to dramatically reduce the paperwork and administrative burden for tenants and applicants to "affordable housing." Many many people who would qualify for rent-restricted housing instead choose market rate units at around the same cost because of the invasive and constant paperwork!

Rarely has the Oregon city seen such a narrow price gap between market-rate and affordable units.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

Posted about it on Twitter, but I figured I should talk about it here, too. CQ Act 2 is underperforming to a really disappointing degree. I'm considering my options moving forward, but it's looking very grim for my ability to continue working on games going forward.

If you are in charge of any Microsoft owned gaming related things right now your number one priority should be "how do I keep us alive when they come for me" You are next. See if you can get out while you can because they are going to gut everything. Try to save what you can.

For any other fans of the classic Cohost moment where Gravis Cathode Ray Dude discovered the theme song for the game "Interpose," the Kickstarter campaign for the comic book adaptation of that game has finally launched: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...
I NEED YOU ALL TO DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT THIS FUCKING SECOND AND MAKE TIME FOR THIS.

i might be the last person to hear about it, i don't know, but I fired up this random game from my ExoDOS collection, Interpose, and found out that it's an early furry game from 1995, and a pretty good shmup, and has an incredibly banging soundtrack, but i was absolutely not prepared for what happened when I just left the menu music playing and it turned out that
THEY COMPOSED AN ORIGINAL SYNTHPOP SONG WITH LYRICS FOR A GAME ABOUT A CATBOY SAVING THE GALAXY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. IT GOES HARD AS HELL. MANDATORY CLICK.

i legitimately lost my shit when the vocals started and if you don't believe me you can check the VOD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUC8QEyy_MY&t=10794s). this is a certified eurodisco planet of the bass banger, complete with lyrics that aren't quite the best english. my best guess at the words below, but the wild thing is that despite it's heroic tone, it's just a weird teenage rumination on the inevitability of death.

this fucks fully. nothing any of us has done is as sincere as this and we need to step up. we got left in the dust by these norwegian kids before Spiceworld even came out
