He / Him - Icelander in Norway
I don't remember that Final Destination scene. (pillar is hiding an 's')
I've been watching some Jackass interviews where they talk about their old stunts and it's funny how the one they usually react to the worst is the paper cut one. All of these gross things and injuries and the one they make a face and still think is bad to this day is paper cuts.
What is this in my neighbors yard? [enhance] Huh, apparently Trolls also support Norway.
I've been enjoying playing Prodeus, if you want a fun boomer shooter then I recommend But what is this? Wanna load your save? You press start, skip login to pronet, press campaign, press the campaign, press continue on the campaign, click to load the save, btw which just loads the level selection
Found an example I'm not too embarrassed to share. Here's all of the notes I wrote for a math class back in 2009. Absolutely useless, but it looks nice. Floor function and Ceiling function. Wow, riveting stuff. I probably zoned out the rest of the class.
Example of "appeal to authority" or "the halo effect" ? Easy. At university people would sometimes ask me for my class notes. They were not good notes, trust me, but I wrote them in LaTeX... People wanted my notes because they looked like science papers (until they learned they were bad).
Tomorrow will be "Oh so quiet" because there's a 0% chance of the Icelandic singer Björk.
Why is (almost) every single spice rack/tray 3d print model assuming that I own spice containers that are exactly the same size No shade but what is this? Spices come in so many different variations, it's not always refill bags (no need to send me suggestions btw, I found a generic kitchen shelf)
Our Patricia? I hope so. But I think it's just some Threads meme/trend. @patigallardo.bsky.social this is one to save and have fun with later.
I've wanted to get back into making fun little games, and as a stepping stone, here's Solitaire. Plays in the browser, should play well on phone/tablet, saves your state automatically. Hope it works ok for you. olafurw.com/games/solita...
I'm back as a guest on @lateralcast.com with actually smart people like @iszi.com and Charlotte Yeung lateralcast.com/episodes/194/
AI gets a lot of it's knowledge from Reddit and online gaming communities, which makes for funny responses when people search for normal English terms. I wonder if in the future AI will mostly talk about Oblivion DLC when historians are researching Horse Armor.
I love it when old game code goes open source on GitHub because it's fun to search for profanities. The rendering engine for EVE Online recently went online and they did a profanity search after they went public, so an account called ccp-intern was tasked with fixing it. github.com/carbonengine...
Oscar Hammerstein II is the only Oscar to Win an Oscar. There have been no Emmy winning an Emmy (might be though a crew ensemble but I can't find it) And plenty of Tonys have won a Tony, most recent Tony Shalhoub
Instagram just suggested that I follow myself. Yes, it's my account, I clicked and checked. Yes, I am logged in on that account. But, if I try to follow myself, it doesn't work, but it does give me a dialogue when I try to unfollow myself. So that's fun.
Years ago the cat rescue said that Catbug was born "Sometime in June". So I think today is as good of a day as any to be "Sometime in June" So happy birthday Catbug!
There are literal album titles, and then there is "The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs" Yes, 14 songs and yes all by Barry Gibb.
