1, given to me in a Secret Santa exchange. I’m not following the connection you’re trying to make between a goofy action movie and a toy line.

Out of curiosity, how old are you? I hold up Scott Pilgrim as the Fast Times at Ridgemont High of my generation (older millennials). I could see it not hitting the same for older and newer gens.
Of course it’s a perfectly valid opinion even if we are in the same gen. I’m sure Fast Times had its detractors, too
It was hugely freeing for me to realize this. I didn’t really care for Death Proof and I absolutely hated Inglorious Bastards. My friends thought I was crazy. After loving Kill Bill and everything I had seen before it, I thought Tarantino had just gotten too far up his own ass. Then Django came out and was just fun and cathartic and I realized I just needed to take each project as it came
I highly recommend one with a heated seat if you’ve got a reasonably accessible power outlet nearby. Just be aware that it will totally spoil you and make pooping away from home even less fun than it already is.
I have an ex with the same name as one of my sisters. You do that once, and it gets confusing and awkward. Twice? People start coming to really odd conclusions.
Porn… Until enough adult accounts move over to Mastodon or Blue Sky.
Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.
That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.
Jack Gleeson is acting again. I saw him pop up in the last season of Sex Education in a small role.
All computers were beige… unless you were a smoker, then it was an ugly yellow-brown color after a few months
I’m going to claim the family PC as my first computer. It was a 486 running DOS and Windows 3.1. I got my first taste of Windows 95 when my dad bought my sister a new PC to take to college. I remember installing Jedi Knight on there then having to wait years for an upgrade to the family PC where I could load Windows XP and play newer games.
First phone was an old blue Nokia, possibly a 3310, looking at old pics. I called it a Blueberry to make fun of the flagships of the day. I got it at 16 when I got my license and was told in no uncertain terms that I was not to use it unless I was hopelessly lost or wrapped around a tree.
Unintentionally playing the housing market.
Using some first time home buyer incentives about a decade ago, I was able to buy a house on my own. I had to pay mortgage insurance, but it still wasn’t too bad. Cheaper than renting a two bedroom apartment. Five or six years later, my city keeps popping up on Most Affordable Cities lists and the real estate turns into a feeding frenzy.
When the market was at its peak, I listed my house for sale for about 70% more than I paid for it. I had an offer for it at 10k over asking and they’d buy the house sight-unseen within three days of it hitting the market.
Now, this was clearly a buyer’s market so you’d think selling was easy but buying would be a nightmare right? Well, you’d be right and it took 10 months of living with my parents and a shit ton of getting outbid on houses, but I was able to get into a slightly bigger house by putting half of the value down at closing for a house that was brand new, on a bigger lot of land and closer to my family, and I was able to pay off my car loan, resulting in lower monthly payments overall for a house much better suited to my lifestyle. Since moving in two years ago, it’s already appreciated another 15%, not that I’m moving out any time soon!
It really looks like they wanted this made in the vein of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I guess if you start with Borderlands and try to come up with an existing movie property that’s in the same ballpark, that kinda seems like a reasonable target?
Problem is, none of the actors look like they are having fun. I think this is going to land somewhere between the Suicide Squads, and not closer to the one you’d want it to.
Here is the KnowYourMeme page. Note the Alternative/Minimalist Interpretations section.
I’ve played everything in the bundle outside of Gotham Knights. I get it if you don’t like fighting games, but I had fun with every one of them (besides GK, as mentioned). They are all solid games, even Mad Max.
In other words… that’s just, like, your opinion, person.
I remember seeing a Lemmy feature request for hierarchical community tags. I love the idea of being able to, say, allow Game communities but block anything created under the Game -> Racing tag because I am very unlikely to have interest in it. Or in this case, block Sports altogether, that way if someone creates Sports -> American Football -> Carolina Panthers -> Panthers Memes it’s already out of my view and I’m none the wiser.
For me, it was the game Dead Island
Pickle
Oftentimes they’ll have a Print button as well which reduces the page down to just the ingredients and steps.
My old pup Packie was never what you would call a smart dog. He did impress me though with one learned behavior. I had started him out in a crate as a puppy, and would entice him in for the evening with a milkbone. Once the crate went away, we continued the tradition with a regular dog bed where I’d have him lay down and wait for his treat.
Fast forward a few months after I got him and had lost my job. I had to move back in with my parents while I looked for a new one. My dad and I were both night owls, him even moreso than me, so most nights ended with me saying to my dad, “Alright, I’m going to bed. Love you.” Packie heard that enough times that as soon as I said it, he would perk up from wherever he was in the house and rush down to his dog bed to wait patiently. I could brush my teeth, shower, whatever. He would wait 30+ minutes for me to appear with his milkbone. When we moved back out, I could reliably tell him, “go to bed” and he would move through multiple rooms to find his bed and wait for me.
And today I learned that The Simpsons made up the word cromulent. I just figured it was a goofy-sounding archaic word they dug up like “embiggen”.
