Noo, the Pincers Grabbing Chin Anchor style is a classic and a must!

Be the change you want to see! Literally nothing stopping you, and you'd most definitely look fresh among contemporary styles!

Exactly! And I'm even thinking about kids, tbh!

I mean, I'm one who advocates for ignoring age limits if you really know your kid well, for instance. And I'm imagining someone picking up something like GoW for their very mature and complex 10-year-old who's super into Greek mythology, as they're starting to introduce video games into the kid's life. Then, they proceed to watch that poor kid getting wiped over and over and over again because the game didn't have a difficulty slider. Now, if that kid's sensitive, that's probably something that will put them off gaming for a good while, if not maybe forever.

Edit: I know it's more Norse mythology, the whole story in my head was based on the premise of "oh, my kid loves Greek mythology, maybe this'll pique their interest related to Norse, maybe parallelisms, maybe understand the commonalities, etc., etc."

This is pure stupidity in action. I don't even care if that person's actually smart IRL, this is stupid. Like, Top 10 levels.

Edit: as someone who's played through all of Dark Souls and Elden Ring and enjoyed the difficulty, I would never have finished the new installments of God of War if they didn't have difficulty options... The default difficulty it sets (I can't remember how they're named) whooped my butt more than I could comprehend, the combat dynamics just wouldn't click for me and I'd end up having to repeat standard mob fights as often as I would a DS boss. Dropped the difficulty down a notch, and got good only as I was nearing the end of the first one, which allowed me to go into the second on standard. What a story I would have missed!

For a second, my brain pictured these combined with the only dynamics it knows from Dyson - the air blade thingies. It had a good chuckle picturing me getting a vigorous jet of air right in my schnozz.

Edit: may make for a pretty good decongestant, just, uuh... pray you like the taste of mucus...

Was rummaging through the attic (periodic backup & clean-up) and found this.

Pretty sure he started with a decent bump of coke, but yeah, the gangbang is a logical successor to that:-?

The scariest part is that there are a buttload of people who still believe ChatGPT is an actual AI.

Oh, c'mooon! Give us at least a couple of weeks between them! Feels like there's a fucking Trump popping up every Thursday, I swear!

God, I hate this period of our existence...

Not just real, scientifically relevant!

The problem is that, while the EU has undeniably grown more cohesive and rational, it's still just "a bunch of countries at the same party," or at least that's what it feels like. Putin knows this. Everyone knows this, but few can afford to actually talk about it and risk spoiling the image.

I do agree that we need to present a unified front on this and show that asshole that he can't swing his weenus wherever he pleases (which, arguably, should've been done years ago, but WHATEVER!), but I somehow get the feeling nothing will happen until he actually does something. As though those "oopsies" drones which landed everywhere but Ukraine weren't enough as-is...

Edit: and if he does do something and we continue wringing our hands figuring out a balanced approach, then we're fucked.

So, I placed an order last Wednesday, same country different city, it cost a not insignificant sum of money. Package only started moving on Thursday, although the shop had handed it over to the courier service the day prior.

Friday rolls in, delivery failed - package is supposedly too large for a delivery box, redirected to courier. I don't understand why the person delivering it to the box couldn't have called me, there's literally a locker bank every couple of blocks now, would've taken anyone tied to this one no more than 5 minutes to get to it. I get that it's a policy thing, I just don't understand why it's a policy in the first place. What-the-fuck-ever.

No show until today, Tuesday, status still unchanged, even though on Saturday I received a different order I had placed on Friday, through the same courier service. I didn't even request or pay for weekend delivery.

Call customer support, get picked up after 35-40 minutes of waiting. The package hasn't even been shifted from their box delivery depot to their courier delivery depot. In almost a week.

So now my options are as follows:

  • wait and trust that they'll "expedite the transfer process and will do everything they can to get it to me as fast as possible"

  • head to the depot myself, which is situated in a different town, by:
    a. taking the train, which'll be 3 hours total
    b. taking a bus, which'll be 3 hours total
    c. making puppy eyes at a cab driver and paying a fifth of my order's value (rough estimate) on the fare, and be back in 1.5 - 2 hours

They advertise delivery as overnight as long as it's in-country.

And this is all because they've cut back on their staff, in addition to continuing to underpay them. We have, like 5 different courier services in this country and they all suck donkey balls. The Post Office is now catching up in terms of efficiency, and they haven't changed since Communism was still a thing around here.

Digital sources for these people are slim to none, so here's the full album instead of the one track I wanted to post! S'good!

Edit: for no reason whatsoever I'll say that track was Pekin Pekin.
