Not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s at least not plush. Certainly you could commission something with more realistic looking scales if you were willing to pay for it.

There were even cartoons in the 80s and 90s that made this joke. I vaguely recall a Bugs Bunny cartoon or something similar where the characters were at an auction, and one went to hit another and the auctioneer interpreted it as a bid, and they spent the rest of the show trying to get other people to accidentally place bids, too, to outbid them so they wouldn’t have to pay for it.

Wow, Cave Story updates in 2026 is not something I would have expected at all. Looks like a pretty major engine upgrade, too.

There’ve been quite a few photos circulated of people with guns intermingled into the protests that have happened. It’s much more effective when it’s like, 1 in 100 vs. 100 in 100, though, in my opinion. It gets the point across. Personally, I’d prefer no guns on either side, but if we can’t have that, this is the next best option.

X people in frog costumes with dildos + Y people with guns is more effective than just Y people with guns. Probably much more effective, honestly, because it makes it harder to publicize it as just a violent mob.

I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district’s house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I’ve checked up on. As a result, though, I don’t exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.

Mark my words, someone’s going to make a video game with 100% historical accuracy with this.

he sure is an antichrist

He is anti-Christ.

The problem is that it says it in the same general section that it talks about how to treat your slaves and things, so it’s really kind of ridiculous to cherry pick this one thing as something we should uphold today while ignoring everything else.

You get 30 minutes of ad-free listening, but not all in a row. Sounds like you got 8 minutes worth already; after this ad, you can get another 8 minutes.

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

He did previously say that as the “winners” of the war, the US was entitled to collect that toll, basically. So, yeah, I think you’re spot on.

You forgot to praise Allah.

I’m glad the creature collector + sandbox game mashup is becoming a genre; I hope we continue to see it evolve in new ways, though, and not just stagnate in the ‘survival crafting’ archetype. An open-world sandbox game with creature collecting elements doesn’t need those survival crafting parts to be compelling, in my opinion.

Sure, I’m not sure why we’re arguing about backup strategies. My wife is the same way; she’s got two 12 TB externals of just backups for exactly the same reason. You implied that you would need to back up your drives specifically because you’d be installing a new OS; that’s all I was commenting on. You do you.

Presumably you’re backing up important files as a matter of course, not only when installing a new OS…

As a point of interest, you can partition an existing HD, install a new OS on that partition, then when on the newly installed OS, move your files around to the new filesystem and format your old drives / partitions as convenient. Installing a new OS doesn’t need to be a “Backup everything, blow it away and start over” process.

Worth noting that it was also 16% cheaper, as well.

To get a fair comparison, you’d need to poll people who are the same age that you were at the time you’re comparing to. I bet you’ll find that they’re just as into gaming as you were at that age. What’s happening is that you’re getting older, and you aren’t enchanted by the same things that you once were. Basically, this is a ‘Back in my day…’ rant about the ‘good old days’.
