This one brick in the railing of this one bridge looks a little wide relative to the mortar. Let me spend all day tweaking its proportions.

I could kinda see Steam pulling off the hit Linux desktop nobody else has quite achieved. I mean as a workstation too, not just for playing games.

Don't get married for tax purposes, or even love. Get married so that when your partner says she likes to 'experiment with the ratios' of peanutbutter in her oatmeal, you can call her a peanutbutter scientist and then you both just sing a song called peanutbutter scientist at each other.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

I sincerely hope those of you designing fart aliens for your games that attack with high pressure fart gas are doing your xenobiological design homework and creating lore for how said alien has evolved a frost tolerant butthole (because you see, the sudden drop in pressure of the gas…)

I might do a mailbag episode of the Draknek & Friends podcast to fill a gap in the schedule while Syrenne takes a vacation - anyone have any questions they want answered on a podcast? Bonus if you send it as a voice recording to [email protected]!
