@89th said in Elden Ring and Roblox:

This morning on reddit I saw references to Elden Ring as well as Roblox. Yes I've heard of each before, but I realized I have ZERO idea what those are, other than video game(s) of some sort? I feel like I'm out of it, but also don't really mind.

Two ends of the gaming spectrum right now.

Elden ring is the horror-based "it" game this year - only available on high-end consoles and PCs.

Roblox is a creativity-based sandbox game for kids. You can run it on a potato and the user-base of (very) young kids is huge.

Well, it’s now safely down in Davy Jones Locker.

Probably belongs there too.

See, this is what I love about YouTube.

I was totally oblivious of David Lynch's channel.

Holy shit are you serious? I start my day with the weather report.

@Nunatax said in Greatest movie gunfight ever:

Meh, the scene where they put in new magazines was totally unnecessary…

I love how that's the one thing you decided to single out as unnecessary. 😄

@Mik 555 You are correct. I was a bit confusing. I should have made the title plural. LOL

@Copper My apology. I posted the wrong picture. It was from a June 2021 visit by some US representatives.

MOFA has sent out a picture of the current arrivals.

But, they still did use a US government plane.

Arrivals were
US Senator Lindsey Graham
US Senater Robert Menendez
US Senater Richard Burr
US Senater Ben Sasse
US Senater Rob Portman
US Representative Ronny Jackson

They were met at the airport by Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu (吳釗燮)

Crying laughing, it's so good. The way he emphasizes certain words.

You had to live – did live, from habit that became instinct – in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized.

The perfection of power renders its exercise unnecessary.

Foucault's an asshole.

Say what you will about pedophiles, at least they slow down in school zones.

Some of 'em are also church-goin' folk!

Ah, a thread with boomers talking about groomers.

They weren’t hard on the eyes…

You know, when I first moved to DC I was shocked when I started meeting Russian and Ukrainian women. All the propaganda over the years had me expecting fat women in babushkas with a big hairy mole. The only attractive Ukrainian and Russian women you saw were in James Bond movies…

@Aqua-Letifer

Very cool pic!!

Thanks, TG. I took it on top of a parking garage, adjacent to a casino. Only it had these massive lights in the corners of the top deck so the entire damn town could see what I was up to. Including some casino rent-a-cops who walk around the parking lots. They started coming up the stairs as soon as I started the exposure. They asked me to leave but I was already packed up by the time they caught up to me. 😬

The first shot cost several billion

Then it's $3.50 after that

Friend them on Facebook and you can ask.

They can look up the data over the interwebz, after connecting to Elon's Starlink service with their iPhones.

@taiwan_girl yup. That's the amazing part!

But, this being Chicago, he'll probably get a ticket for driving with an obstructed windshield.

Anyway, she was just given a new house in a new built subdivision in Pyongyang.

It's good to be in the nomenklatura!

Thanks, again, everyone.
