All the new releases were under $20 indie or "AA" games like Microprose published titles.

You could throw a dart blindfolded in 1998 and hit a new legendary game every time.

Slow clap, Mr. Mulder. Slow clap.

The last horse has finally crossed the finish line. I suppose now the real question is...what are you going to do about it?

2mo ago

Scully believed in the high level idea of the X-Files since nearly the very beginning. That's why she stayed loyal to Mulder. Scully often doesn't believe in specific theories pushed by Mulder in individual episodes, and she is often correct that his initial theory is wrong. Without Scully's skepticism and stress testing of Mulder's theories, many investigations would go down completely wrong paths.

French soldiers in camouflage, WW1, ~1916

Jump

SSTF @lemmy.world 2mo ago

A color photo of a similar suit:

The British, French, and Germans all made similar handmade camouflage outfits.

In the picture below is a lineup of British soldiers in handmade suits:

The online text with this picture read: "in 1917 the Camouflage Section of the British Army’s Royal Engineers hand painted sniper suits to blend in with the surrounding terrain. Hand painting was required because the technology to mass produce camouflage pattern material did not become available until the early 1920s." (This information is unattributed to a primary source.)

Fat babies need the most attention.

But the comment isn't pointing you anywhere else. And the commenter didn't make the thread. And the wallet is actually real.

550 cord is great, and people should have some in their vehicle, or a pack while traveling.

The cords on stuff like the wallet bother me though because even with the space reducing knot, it's a comically small amount of cord that's almost purely a fashion statement. A significant amount of 550 cord on a roll, spindle, or just in a ziplock bag is far more practical.

I've known some outdoorsy people who've made their own 550 bracelets, but when it comes to storebought ones it's pretty much 100% people that never go in the woods wearing them in my experience.

I put the OP image in a reverse image search and found the product and brand in about ten seconds.

Why would a hailcorporate be reluctant to name the product? It feels a little Catch 22, because if they'd instantly named it that could also be interpreted as hailcorporate.

You went from like 0 to 100 on the antagonistic tone over someone saying they owned a wallet.

I didn't see the behind the scenes freezer locations. A good chunk of the ship was off limits for restoration.

There was a soda shop and ice cream parlor. I don't remember about the ice cream, but the soda was an extra the sailors had to pay for out of pocket.

There are a lot of Christmas specials where Christmas is almost cancelled because Santa can't deliver presents that specific night, but realistically he could just postpone Christmas to another day

Jump

SSTF @lemmy.world 3mo ago

The holiday isn't Santa's to postpone. He is an avatar and caretaker of the Christmas spirit, not a master with control over it. Often in the ebin deep lore of these stories, Christmas itself has both power on the specific date which is needed to fuel Santa, and it has a need for the rituals to be completed least it be damaged like the holiday itself is some kind of withering god. Like an Aztec sacrifice to ensure the sun rises, it isn't just the sort of thing you can delay.

TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally ill

Jump

SSTF @lemmy.world 3mo ago

A problem with even well intentioned institutionalization is that once somebody is perceived as mentally unwell everything they do is looked at through a clinical lens. This can make it difficult for people who were misdiagnosed or who have recovered to convince people they are well.

Anyone remember having the DVD of the movie Hook? Am I imagining things or wasn't there a game in the special features section?

Jump

SSTF @lemmy.world 3mo ago

There was a PC adventure game in the vein of the Monkey Island games. Maybe the DVD had a preview of that?

Never Too Late

Jump

SSTF @lemmy.world 3mo ago

Lemme do two shows:

Kings just had a premise too esoteric for this world. It was like a retelling of the story of king David set in modern times in a constructed world that's like ours though the Bible doesn't exist within that world. There's all sorts of remixed biblical strangeness in it.

Jericho was like if one of those "mystery box" shows actually had a thought out plot that moved forward. Nuclear explosions go off around the country, not-Blackwater PMC guys work for not-Dick Cheney, and the main characters just keep getting sucked in to a ramp up for a post apocalyptic civil war.

I really disliked the first few episodes of Universe. The Battlestar Galactica reboot's grimdark edge was bleeding in very strongly. The show does mellow out on that as it goes. The basic character friction is still there, but toned way down and characters are usually finding common ground.
