Goddamn it, you’re only telling us now??? 😁

Right now I’m not sure this is my favorite because it’s late and I am not thinking clearly, but I’ve watched Data in command countless times, so it’s certainly one of my favorites

Part 2 in HD

This is disturbingly accurate

Day of the Tentacle (1993). Admittedly, it was the remastered version from 2016 which has more modern controls, but the game is exactly the same as the old one.

It was fascinating to look at it again with more mature eyes: besides the fact that it feels a bit dated as a whole, it was funny to me to notice how much humanity loves time travel stories.

It’s not that this game is doing anything different in that regard, it’s just that I thought about how much media exists on the subject (and has been very successful).

Anyhow, although dated, the game is brilliant and wholesome and made me wonder which are the best (and recent) graphic adventure games

Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

“Publish or perish” is an expression that’s been around since forever and it’s well ingrained into every researcher’s mind so…

What did society expect?

(Not so) Fun story: when a friend of mine was doing her PhD she was trying really hard to reproduce an experiment published on Nature by two Harvard postdocs at the time. She was so frustrated because she couldn’t reproduce it, so she approached one of the authors during a conference and he candidly admitted the experiment was utterly wrong, since after publishing it they realized they made a fatal mistake in interpreting the result which invalidated their claims.

They published the original paper honestly, since they were not aware of the mistake at the time, but they willingly decided not to retract it since a paper in Nature is always a paper in Nature and the citations piling up were too important for their career… How about that for the intellectual honesty that scientists project having as an aura?

Anyhow, this nearly killed my friend’s PhD, but luckily she switched to something related she managed to understand and graduated…

This would be an awesome plot for an Alterered Beast sequel (and a satisfying thought to keep while working out)

It would be awesome for those who played the original game and those who have no idea what it is!

He’s convinced she’s his wife before he hugged her, so I surmise she’s the 2030 version of the ninja log…

…Just before he could hug her, she replaced herself with a cake. That really is dedication on her part!

Brutal (and awesome)

Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.

It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.

In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.

PS Welcome to Lemmy!

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

Guys, I’m embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?

No, I’m not making fun of it. I legitimately don’t understand it and I would like to.

From the other comments I get it’s something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I’m confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?

This game was really awesome! I spent so many hours playing online with whoever. It had several awesome arenas.

Now you make me want to play it again!

(A) This strip is brilliant!

(B) I know it’s unrelated, but it reminds me of the button that will be offered to someone who you don’t know

You’re our hero!

How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I kind of had the same question

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)
