What an awful dream. Ones and zeros everywhere. And I thought I saw a two!

Was bedeutet „Zangendeutscher"?

Exactly. That was captured in one of Clippy's most famous lines.

"I see you're trying to write a letter. Can I help?"

"I see you're trying to write a résumé. Can I help?"

This of course got parodied a million times:

"I see you're trying to write a radical manifesto. Can I help?"

"I see you're trying to write a suicide note. Can I help?"

I dunno. Samuel L. Jackson is a pretty big star. Scarlett Johansson too.

I dunno, the seas haven't overtaken us, so I have to question the extent of Poseidon's power. That is the god you meant, I'm sure.

Some of the christians in my family like to take the "let there be light" thing and claim that it's talking about the big bang, anecdotally.

But that's probably not even right. In my understanding, the Big Bang wasn't actually bright, because the first phase of the universe was a superhot but opaque quantum soup. Even the weak nuclear force took time to become distinct from the electromagnetic force. I don't know if energy packets of a combined electroweak field count as photons exactly.

Regardless, the first light as we know it (in the sense that it could traverse the universe) wasn't until a few hundred ~~million~~ thousand years after the Big Bang, when the whole mess had cooled enough to become transparent. We now call that initial light the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation.

Edit: Misstated the age of the CMB

So they'll just go build it in Chandler with all the others instead, I guess?

A) Not really my problem,

B) The same way other publishers succeed without DRM.

It's sad because I would totally buy MH Wilds (and Rise) if Capcom didn't show contempt for gamers.

That's why I sell exclusive Deprotonated Hydronium™. It costs even more but it's worth it, and still zero calories. It's the best way to enjoy tasty ions, for a more balanced lifestyle.

Ok correct, technically I guess the outer 2D surface of a bowling ball is a pair of pants. For the entire 3D object to qualify, the holes would have to be connected internally.

Huh. So mathematically, I guess a bowling ball is a pair of pants.

As a start, maybe these Capcom fuckwads should stop forcing DRM into their games, including ones that were already released.

Can't speak for other customers, but I've blacklisted them until they stop treating me like a criminal.
