I was feeling under the weather last week, probably caught a cold. My wife started feeling under the weather this week, probably caught my cold. But the weird thing is that our cold symptoms are almost completely unalike. I had a sore throat, stuffy chest, headache. My wife has a cough...

Matching t-shirts to wear as a couple.

Oh I never saw the movie, just read the book. I wasn't aware of Robocop and Vader.

So this brings up an interesting point. The cupboard works by taking a real person, the equivalent of the figurine you put in, and bringing him/her to the cupboard in miniature form. So, for example, when the kid put a Native American figurine into the cupboard, it became a real Iroquois...

It's all right, thanks, I've resolved to wait until the next sale. Hopefully the DLCs will go on a deeper discount then. I'm busy playing Mass Effect, Stellaris, Hitman, TotK etc lately, I have no problem waiting a bit longer, because I don't anticipate playing Cities Skylines in the near...

So with Cities Skylines 2 on the horizon and the first game on sale, I thought I'd look into finally getting all the DLCs for Cities Skylines to have the most complete experience. So I log on to Steam and... holy motherlover, it costs NT$6420 (approximately US$200) to buy all the DLC. Even with...

I just learned that Unity's CEO is John Riccitiello, who used to be the CEO and President of Electronic Arts. Now I get it.

I think about ancient Greeks too, does that count? EDIT: Also, the Byzantine Empire. Sometimes I think about the Byzantine Empire.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the subsequent destruction of Pompeii.

I feel like "mining out a volcano" sounds like the start of a sci-fi disaster movie.

It'd be tragically funny if you end up in a community of Asian parents who push their children to achieve Olympic-level proficiency in badminton or table tennis.

Holy shit this is real.

There's a person in our company who was recently promoted to the position of Deputy General Manager. We've never had a Deputy General Manager before, so I have a sneaking suspicion that this means our current General Manager is stepping down soon, and this new Deputy is being prepared to...

Who is Terry and why is disparaging him so deadly?

TIL that someone remade Doom 2016 in the Quake 1 engine. Yes, Doom from 2016. Yes, Quake 1 from 1996.

My wife heard the sound of me playing this and gave me a very odd look.

Plus those poor conscripts know that this plane is a target for drone bombing. That's why they're doing this tire thing in the first place. So all the while they're lugging tires out to the plane and piling it onto the wings and fuselage, they're probably thinking, "I wonder if a drone is about...

Fair enough.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 If you'd told me yesterday that I'd be getting emotional over a cybernetic otter, walrus, and rabbit, I would've been very skeptical. Anyway, overall I liked it, I think it's one of the stronger MCU offerings in Phase 4 and 5. It's a good send-off to the...

A hot female friend of mine recently started a new job, which has a reputation for being a high-pressure position that often leads to burnout. I decided to send her a quick text, "Hey, heard about your new job, how's it going? Not too much stress, I hope?" She wrote back around three pages...
