  • The first game I every played that had “dailies” was a Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends browser game, that gave you a “chores list” you had to complete before accessing certain activities. You’d get a new list every day, and if you didn’t complete them, you’d have a longer list the next time you played. There was no login or anything, I assume it just worked off of browser cookies.



  • It’s mostly prevalent in the ironic meme community.

    Basically, in the early days of memery, these “top text / bottom text” images were like 75% of memes. A lot of online editors were rather primitive when it came to spacing, font size, etc., which led to a lot of manual rearranging of words and text.

    For example, you may have originally typed, “my face when / the teacher calls on me”, but decided the spacing wasn’t right, so meant to change it to “my face when the / teacher calls on me” , but forgot to delete the “the” in the second line.

    This incredibly common typo became a kind of hallmark of “bad memes”, and has been intentionally replicated in shit posting communities as a sort of wink saying “this is bad on purpose”.

    All this to say, I’m not positive if this is a case of an actual typo, or an ironic replication. The meme seems otherwise genuine, so I’m leaning towards the former.




  • I have an event next week that I needed new dress pants for. I went to the store not even thinking about black Friday sales. Saw that I could get a suit jacket + pants for a bit more than what I expected to spend on just pants. Ended up buying two suits (I didn’t own a suit beforehand and I’m at the age where I probably should have at least one) and some shirts.






  • My goal with the app would be to make people aware of these drivers, because it’s of public concern.

    How does having the face and license plate number of a dangerous driver going to make a biker or skater safer? Do you look at a car’s license plate and refer to a list of safe and dangerous drivers before deciding your next move? If not, I don’t think having identifying information makes the public any more aware than videos with that information removed.

    Something like this just has way too high of a potential to be abused, while offering very little in terms of public safety outside of the encouragement of vigilante justice.

    Imagine this: you’re a perfectly safe driver, and a biker makes an unsafe move. Their camera doesn’t capture the full picture, but shows the biker almost get hit by your car. Now the internet is on a witch hunt with your face and license plate number because “YOu cOuLd haVe kiLLeD hiM!!!”






  • That’s pretty staggering. I hate moving fluids up long distances like that, so I’ve grown to expand those guys horizontally rather than vertically.

    I built this a while back, but its the BFF (big fucking factory) that I’m most proud of, it’s my current aluminum processing plant (built where your power plant is, coincidentally) that perfectly efficiently runs all 6 of the pure bauxite nodes into aluminum ingots.
