I think the phrase you’re looking for is #MissionAccomplished

Linda…

The one in the manager’s mind, that also isn’t actually an MVP because sales over-promised and now you have to find a way to deliver.

I mean, everything has tripled in price and the reason is corporate greed.

I know they make a joke about Tom in office space being the one who brings the specs from the customers to the engineers - as much as it looks like he’s dead weight, there really is a skill in being able to explore the customer’s needs (and frequently manage their expectations of what the proposed software should be and do) and parse them into something more technical for the engineers, because you might not know how to program, but you’ve got a good idea of what the capabilities are because you communicate with the engineering team on a daily basis.

I love that somebody actually went and fucking made them.

Yeah, it’s almost as if people don’t want to have kids when life is complete dogshit and the future only ever looks worse. But hey, maybe that mandatory optimism thing they’re trying to enforce will turn it around. Don’t believe your eyes and ears, everything is wonderful!

Fuck it. Hope the great filter eliminates us with extreme prejudice before we get off this rock and ruin more fucking planets.

Throw it on the pile of solutions we’ll never have because the treatment is more profitable than the cure.

I think that’s the joke.

Eh, they’re all old, the important stuff is backed up and I have an 8TB SSD for the newer games, I just pop this in because I have the space and overhead and it’s like “well, it’s lasted this long, might as well.”

Technically speaking, it’s the 2TB platter drive full of games that I’ve pulled from computer to computer over the last 15 years or so. Everything else has failed or become obsolete, but it’s still kicking, miraculously.

Seems about on par for 2020 part 5.

Elon Musk reading the tweet about the Torment Nexus and thinking “Okay but what if I did, just as a joke, wouldn’t that be quirky haha?”

Back when I was about 15, I was invited to a Christmas Eve gathering by a friend of the family, who had a young kid, maybe 7 or 8, and I had a gift picked out for everyone but him. I spent a long time combing through gifts at the mall but I really didn’t know all that much about him. I settled on one of those 3D wooden puzzles, a roadster.

Come Christmas Eve, and I’m anxiously awaiting people opening my gifts hoping I’d chosen well. The kid gets to my gift and turns to his parents and says “Wow, you got it after all!” They were dumbfounded. Turns out he’d been asking for that exact kit but they had passed it up. I felt like a million bucks that night.

Make a diorama of kids getting mauled by bears because they made fun of that bald guy in the Bible.

“I hope this has been enlightening for you.”

“But I must-”

“Thank you, come again.”

“But-”

“Thank you, come again.”

Orchid Mantis - Flashbulb Memory

I’ve got a whole fucking playlist for real sadboy hours on rainy drives home where I want to get lost in the back of my mind and it’s like 50% this band.

What’s to dream about? Living these days feels like being in a game of monopoly where someone started with hotels on every property. The fascists are winning, the planet is burning, we’re in the middle of two wars, the capitalists are talking about putting shock collars on their vault slaves when the apocalypse begins, and all signs point to everything getting worse as time goes on. In light of all this, my dream is dying peacefully in my sleep before the water wars begin and I get pushed into Nestle’s torment nexus to make the stock price go up a fraction of a penny.

I dunno, I think it makes sense. B/S/P all imply a physical impact of some sort, force is just a wave of energy, magic or not. Like a nonmagical example would be microwaves or radiation from nuclear materials (I know sickening radiance says it does radiant damage but that’s 100% wrong, radiant implies holy or positive as the inverse of necrotic, which is unholy and negative, I will kill on this hill, the devs fucked it up just like they fucked up T3/T4 play.)

Congratulations, yours is the first that makes me think you understood the assignment. Also you’re wrong.
