⦕what exactly is the point of these parentheses⦖

that may in fact have been the point, too! I don't know a ton about Aztec culture but I wouldn't be too surprised to learn that they gave their foodstuffs a day off

So apparently there was a major Aztec holiday where for a week every eight years they would make tamales with no filling and no spices in order to not overwork the maize

this description (which is from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamale#Aztecs) makes me think they had a holiday where they just gave the corn a week off

why am I seeing a whole bunch of identical level 44 people standing on top of each other with names consisting of random letters

Consider: regular fireweasel me, but with hyena taurbody

on a positive note: liking the game so far. We might purchase it next month to be able to properly play it

well, we started playing the trial of FFXIV because people seem to think it's really good

One of the first other players we saw had the name "southern ancapistan" and uh, yeah, wow.

birthday present from our mom arrived a few days early! a box set of the Avatar series on blu-ray

I'm kind of amazed to see that even on blu-ray it's seventeen discs

kind of proud of ourselves for getting all that done, it was a surprising amount of work and I'm glad it's done now

it helps to have a single 12-outlet power strip instead of two chained 7-outlet ones, and a couple switches (one HDMI, one component) to allow everything to be hooked up at once

spent like an hour and a half yesterday untangling cables and rearranging things to try to make the tv area a bit cleaner and it looks a lot better now

I'm kind of wondering why they're still made

I'm kind of curious: is there any reason at all that someone might want to get a dedicated sound card for a modern PC?

does vaporeon have fur, or are they more like a fish

consider: horse, but with paws

Nice big screen, too. not the largest CRT we've ever seen but definitely up there

We picked up a neat old CRT that the university was throwing out today

It's weird and not really the best for home use because it was part of a surveillance system, so it uses BNC connectors for its RF inputs, it doesn't have any composite or component inputs, and it's only got mono audio

But it does have two s-video inputs, which is nice, plus it's a color CRT and everyone likes those, low latency and stuff

We do not have room for it in our apartment though
