I like when games have a weapon that heals instead of hurts when used to attack

got a headache? Let me just beat you over the head with my magic healing club

raccoons are cute.

If your country was to stop doing DST, would you prefer to stay on:

an rpg about gothic architecture: Finial Fantasy

odd. i would have expected the etecoons to get more votes.

i don't think we've ever before had a meeting literally end before it began

both us and our research advisor arrived at the (digital) meeting early, only to call off the meeting and set up a replacement tomorrow because he's still working on something with a deadline of one hour from now

so the meeting ended about two minutes before it was scheduled to start

reading reviews on everyday items on amazon is sometimes amusing but this time we just learned that apparently people don't know that IEC 60320 is an international standard and not just the part number of a laptop cord, these reviews are full of people affirming that yes, it does fit their (insert manufacturer here) laptop

Starting now!

For future reference, does anyone know of a good way to control OBS (i.e. start/stop etc) from a different computer than the one broadcasting? Our apartment has a weird layout that makes it Kind Of Annoying to do otherwise.

Last time, we purified Garmr, found the Solflower, and then cleaned up some of the remaining overworld dungeons to grab some parts for the Gun del Sol, but now it's time to go visit Sol City, the flying City of the Sun, and figure out what Sabata has waiting for us there.

any time a doubled ⟨c⟩ or ⟨k⟩ appears in standard english, it's either: a loanword (e.g. gnocci), a compound (e.g. bookkeeper), or two ⟨c⟩s pronounced differently (e.g. accept, pronounced /æksεpt/)

(accolade is perhaps the one exception, though it is also a loanword (though from the 17th century, so it's been here for a while and might not count anymore))

travel -> travelled
mar -> marred
sob -> sobbed
grin -> grinned
debug -> debugged

but
magic -> magicked (not *magicced)

why is the english language perfectly happy geminating any consonant by just writing it twice, *except* for c and k, where either one is written geminated as ck

concept: pokemon (or other turn-based game) speedrun based on minimizing the number of turns, not the actual time taken

is there something wrong with our graphics drivers if playing a youtube video is using a significant amount of the 3D engine but none of the video decode/processing at all?

whose idea was finitude anyway, i want to submit a complaint

pick one

just learned about a really interesting game called timespinner but a physical copy costs twice as much as a digital copy now because they only did one run of the switch version

limited production runs are bad :<

i'm sure someone has done this joke before but: met-roid
