Correction: worst part is when the robot hangs up on you after 20 mins of waiting because there's no human to talk to.
Worst part about waiting in a phone hotline is when the music stops for a short break before some voice recording kicks in. Every minute or so I get excited for a brief moment, thinking I'm about to talk to a human but nope, pranked again!

Just spotted this event flyer for a lefty event, feels like satire. Whatever happened to DIY or die? Contrast this with the awesome cut-and-paste photocopier designs of punk scene flyers.

The LACK stat in Psycho Patrol R is cool because it increases the chance of a random enemy spawning on top of you but also decreases the cost of leveling your character. It also makes enemies carry more money so if your LACK is 99 five guys with full wallets will run at you when you enter any map.

computers are where i go to click on skeletons to make my warrior's numbers bigger and little piles of gold to make my piles of gold numbers bigger and i feel whatever else people have been making computers do in the last 25 years is largely of no interest to me.
