When people say "gods and aliens contact the marvel universe all the time, everything should be different" I remember things like this.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

the thing that always stands out to me whenever this image resurfaces is how much the model looks like meat loaf

some really incredible sprites in this game
[ www.spriters-resource.com/arcade/momok... ]

Sprites from "Momoko 120%". They depict a girl wearing a red school uniform dress carrying some sort of zapper gun (looking kinda like the NES Zapper).

My dad drove us in a loaner Tesla this morning where Grok AI:
Turned itself on
Would not turn off
Instructed how to tell it to stop (did not stop)
Instructed how to tell it to play music (did not music)

After setting the volume to 0 and sitting in silence, an advertisement forced the volume back on

Absolutely obsessed with this commercial for CREEP PHONE, a 1-900 number from 1988 that swore up and down, for the cost of $2 per call, that you could talk to REAL GHOSTS AND ZOMBIES!!!!! The narrator on this is so wonderfully terrible. I adore this commercial

oh, i meant the other way round: are the players now more likely to do what they want now that the shop is no longer telling them no?

if games workshop shops no longer offer a space for people to play, with the conditions that to play there you have to use official miniatures and the latest rulebooks, does that mean there are now a lot of players abandoning official miniatures and rules?
