Whang talking about some guy peeling the skin off of his own penis and feeding it to a dog or something.

Theme Hospital (thumbnail) was dope. I used to rent the PS1 port from my local video store, but never came across it for PC. Used to love Bullfrog Entertainment back in the day and played the absolute hell out of Dungeon Keeper. Theme Hospital wasn’t nearly as good, but there was something super chill about designing waiting rooms and deciding where to put the vending machines. For whatever reason, the waiting rooms were always my favorite part.

Shame we never got a proper Dungeon Keeper 3. War For the Overworld is a worthy successor, and getting Richard Ridings ('ELLO, PEPPA!) back to narrate was a boss move, but I don’t care for the new creature designs that almost (but don’t quite) emulate Bullfrog’s creatures. Just doesn’t feel right without a few fat bile demons dragging themselves around your corridors.

That’s exactly what drove me into seeking out Lemmy instead. I hopped on Mastodon and it made me feel like I was being coralled into following some niche hobby forum exclusively, and I wasn’t into that. It didn’t explain that the instance itself was largely irrelevant and that the rest of the platform would open up to me after choosing one.

Lemmy still had a learning curve, but having experience with reddit I was able to pick it up easily enough.

Wait 'til Martin comes…

Sad excuse for a robin then, huh?

“In the United States, human feces has been regulated as an experimental drug since 2013.”

Best sentence in the entire article.

Best I had was a Nova Scotia lobster roll with fries cooked in truffle oil. Also way too much wine.

For real. This Bozo must think we have access to turkey nuggets or something.

In John’s defense, that guy looks pissed. Pocahontas was like:

Conservatives and other schizophrenics have a huge hatred for him on social media as well, believing he’s part of a network of child traffickers because he thinks it’s funny to post pictures of lost gloves on the street. Also, one pic had a secret code linked to child trafficking written next to a sewer grate, that was later revealed to be a perfectly normal code for city planning/line maintenance or something.

Whenever I poop I try to say the word “poop” with my butthole. It always makes the perfect poop. Not a lot of people know that.

Every article lately using the word “quietly” in the headline to drive clicks, to trick the user into thinking they’re getting in on some controversial secret. It’s the new “slammed”.

Sometimes old ladies shop at my work and the lingering smell of perfume transports me back to childhood, lingering in the hallway while my mom got herself ready to go out. That’s about the only positive thing I can say about most perfumes. I do like my wife’s sweet vanilla scent, though.

This was a pet peeve of mine when I used to work customer service. The biggest douchebags were always middle-aged men with sunglasses on.

Good on you! I know so many adults who have no desire to learn how to cook and as a result spend a fortune on food delivery. I had a friend/co-worker a few years back who lived with a couple he knew since college. Couple moved on and a few hours across the province, but he was so helpless/useless he would make the drive every two weeks to have one of them meal prep all of his food for him.

Pixel gang! ♥️😎

Some of the tax firms my wife has worked for have hosted extravagant Christmas parties in mountain-top restaurants in Banff and the like. We get to pretend we’re fancy people and order the most expensive menu items for a night.

Lemmy - Bailed on reddit during the API fiasco and found this community to be much more welcoming and enjoyable. I don’t get into fights on here at all because (most of) our users aren’t needlessly confrontational over inconsequential things. As a result, my levels of stress and general doom/angst have been much lower since migrating here. However, the election poisoned the well and I find myself avoiding Lemmy more often because I can’t sit here and read about Donald Trump all fucking day.

Facebook - I immigrated to a different country several years back and Facebook is unfortunately my easiest link to friends and family back home. It lets them share in my life here and see my daughter grow up.

WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger/Discord - Light/casual use for communicating with a select few friends or family members. Really not a fan of Discord, though.

Was always normal in my family. Smoking and drinking indoors all day. Used to come home smelling like shit. But there were alcoholics. Good people, though.
