Never Back Down

(unless it’s to drool in Donny’s lap)

Ah. Sorry.

This cover by the Afghan Whigs of the song “Lost in the Supermarket” by The Clash is really good:

The Multi-Account Containers extension is great for this. Each container keeps its own context, so you can be logged in to the same service twice (or more) in tabs in one window. Can set it up so that some sites will always use a certain container, or that sites in a container will always use a proxy. That is EXTREMELY useful to me.

It was always going to come to this. Donald Trump is all my dad’s shitty email forwards come to life.

As this picture scrolled into view I thought This will be the worst kidney stone I’ve ever seen.

“My kid got measles and it’s my fault, can I get a WHOOP WHOOP”

Even a remake of Okami would be great. Skip the weird simulated voices and let me mash buttons through all dialog, not just some of them. And skip the stone wall guardian guys. That should do it.

Why not both?

This is the kind of thing Bob Page would do.

There’s a lady at the door of the Hacks Cross store in Memphis that is absolutely relentless about seeing and reading the values on membership cards as people enter the store. I feel sure that she used to be a living legend at the highway patrol before she retired and took this job.

I had always interpreted the Walking Simulator label as a pejorative and never paid any attention to games described this way. Recently though I got The Invincible because some of the screenshots reminded me of old John Berkey paintings and I’m a total sucker for that kind of stuff, and I just absolutely loved it. I’m looking forward to trying out Firewatch.

Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.

The author of this comic strip came to our house one time when I was little. He was visiting some family at Pickwick Lake (I think) and somehow came over to our house with some of my stepmom’s friends. I absolutely couldn’t believe it that somebody famous was there with us at our house. He seemed like a really nice person and he left a couple of doodles of our dogs and an autograph for me and my brother.

One thing that is really handy for development is that you can set up any container to use a proxy server. I use that a lot to reduce the sheer amount of crap that would get sent to the proxy if it were enabled at the system level or in the regular browser network settings. It really keeps the noise down.

We played a game with our Cub Scouts where they would set up a pyramid of red plastic cups in a field and then fly a drone equipped with a release mechanism to drop a ball from as high as they wanted to take it and see how accurate their aim was. Their aim was terrible and hilarious and they ended just running through the cups and throwing them at each other, but loved thinking about where to position the drone and ask about doing it again a lot.
