Good to know! I didn't want to miss out on @kolanaki comments, but now I won't have to worry about it.

Definitely not me, my dad hates that after my brother did it.

It all began innocently enough. My family had gathered for a lazy Sunday brunch, seeking refuge from the relentless sun.

As the meal progressed, laughter and chatter filled the air. But amidst the joviality, a small ice cube managed to escape its glass prison, slipping onto the tiled floor with a barely audible tinkling sound.

At first, it went unnoticed. But as fate would have it, my younger brother , perhaps distracted by the excitement of the day, accidentally kicked the wayward ice cube under the refrigerator with a careless flick of the foot.

Initially, there was no reaction. But as the meal continued and the ice cube remained forgotten beneath the appliance, a subtle change began to take hold. The father, ever observant, caught sight of the ice cube's icy trail and the faint click as it disappeared beneath the fridge.

At first, he said nothing, choosing instead to watch quietly as the ice cube remained trapped in its chilly exile. But with each passing minute, a sense of unease began to gnaw at him. The simple act of neglect, the disregard for tidiness and order, slowly chipped away at his patience.

Finally, unable to contain his growing frustration, my father's voice broke through the cheerful din. "Did you just kick that ice cube under the fridge?" he asked, his tone deceptively calm.

He then left the room, but quickly came back and beat my brother senseless with a set of jumper cables.

Epic could give me money, still not worth it.

korny ,

I don't want to support their platform. Exclusivity deals are bad for gamers and only lines pockets. Terrible customer support and security. And also Tim Sweeney and Epic's overall enshittification of games through loot boxes and season passes.

korny ,

Pads their user base, I'd rather not be one of their users.

Last time I read this I was with my father. So it has to be more than a few weeks because it was during our annual deer hunting trip we take in northern Wisconsin.

It was a pretty tumultuous weekend, but reading that made us feel better. We had gone out early in the day before sunrise to make sure we could have the most daylight available to us in the shortened days. Though we weren't having much luck until about 30 minutes to sunset when we saw a huge buck.

My dad got really excited and nearly dropped the rifle! I was shaking with excitement, and nearly fell over but stopped myself. Though, as I put my foot out to catch my balance I stepped on a stick and snapped it. This sent the buck running and my dad just glared at me with disappointment.

Later that evening, after I was asleep, my dad came into my room and beat me senseless with a set of jumper cables.

Does it feel like a Fallout game yet? I remember playing it and kind of hoped it would feel like a co-op Fallout, but it's just another survival and crafting game.

Scammer Payback and Jim Browning are other great heroes doing the same.

korny ,

If only us lowly workers had more rights.

Sounds like a quiet quitter to me, if only he went above and beyond the expectation I'm sure he'd still be there /s

I feel like culture is beginning to change, but there's so much inner class warfare and competitiveness in some positions that some are blinded to the bigger picture it seems.

Every measly raise I've ever gotten, comes with a warning that the company doesn't want us discussing wages. I feel like a lot don't see that as the red flag that that is, and are only concerned about themselves in that matter. I've always ran to blab to my coworkers make sure we're all in it together for equal pay

korny ,

Typically, people alive are not eligible.

korny OP ,

We aren't sure, neighborhood cat we welcomed in after taking her to the vet for really bad fleas. She's been glued to us since!

korny OP ,

We are guessing she's around 2 or so. I just love looking at her eyes!

I really wanted to get into this game, but had such a hard time grasping the combat.

korny ,

I can't even spell it

korny ,

Any proof for this? Would be an interesting read.

korny ,

Oh... You sounded so confident at first.

korny ,

Disc golf and weed is so much better than disc golf and alcohol! Have fun out there!

korny OP ,

If I handed it back to her, it would have ended up in someone else's hands. Figured I could trash it on her behalf.

korny OP ,

Would you do it if the pilot contained aborted monkey cells?

korny OP ,

Rookie mistake of not drying the counter off after doing the dishes.

I bought this for the 360 and it blew my mind at the time. I had never played a Half Life game before, and that coupled with TF2 led me down the path to PC building for the superior gaming platform. I owe a lot to The Orange Box!

What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?

For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I...

Throwing a disc into the first available tree, and/or the only tree in the fairway.

korny ,

This is totally not a problem for me, I was mostly thinking of others. All my drives are in circle 1 /s

korny ,

Maybe he was like me as a teen, buy 1 ticket but go into another theater after the movie ended. Never thought to do it 700 more times though

korny ,

Scrapped my plans to buy a Tesla a while ago!

I hope you don't throw that glove out. You take it home and throw it in a pot; add some broth and potato, baby you got a stew going!

korny ,

According to the article posted, yes.

korny ,

I'm in the US as well, and I had a gesture shortcut for Google Pay on my phone. For a while, whenever I opened it the app would strongly suggest I switch over to Google Wallet. I thought Pay was phased out a while ago as well, TIL.

korny ,

I feel this way pretty often, but then I open Factorio again and the night turns to day quickly.

korny ,

Dudesy is a fun pod show with Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen. First and only podcast written by and direct by an AI. Don't break kayfabe, brother.

korny ,

5120x1440, it's great!

korny ,

These lists always feel so corporate, hard to take these as a true opinion from big sites like this.

korny ,

Looks like its going to be a $30 release, pretty excited about that. $220 for the collector's edition is nuts though!

korny ,

Every yiff spinoff that keeps popping up

korny ,

Only console I’ve held onto was the Wii. Unless a Wii release is coming, I’m doomed to wait for a PC release.

korny ,

The Snakes on a Plane midnight release show was some of the most fun I’ve had at the theater.

korny ,

Wow, lucky ducks. I only make $42,069 a year.

korny ,

Yes, it is mirrored when I opened it as well

korny ,

Nhlbite.com is a great streaming site for all games.

korny ,

Once Loch Ness is finally subdued, the meme will die.

korny ,

I had so much fun with this one, just got the last achievement yesterday.
