Not that I recall, but the mere fact that they’re depicted as getting along with each other (consistently!) throughout the series is puzzling to anyone who, uh, actually saw the movie.

Walking into this in the first Watch_Dogs. (NSFW. Very much so.)

If you take the time to interact with all the hackables and scan all the people in this area you’ll have revealed to you the incredible depths of depravity and cruelty going on here. It is incredibly fucked up. It was at this very moment in my first and only playthrough that I decided that no, fuck that. Aiden Pierce was now going to be murdering a lot of very specific people.

“Business must proceed.”

And right before that, GLaDOS also says, “Well, this is the part where he kills us.” Then the caption. Then the achievement pop. Then Wheatley says, “Hello! This is the part where I kill you.”

He then fails to kill you.

I will see your all of the above, and raise you:

Even at the time I could not believe that this was indeed a thing that happened. Insert Doug Walker meme here: It’s for kids!

Well you see, they built that house entirely out of old computer cases nailed together.

Hey c’mon! Get serious!

Powah wave! Kickbat! Kickbat! Kickbat! Burn-u knuckle!

(Let’s add the announcer from the original Metal Slug games while we’re at it. “Rawket Lawnchair!!!”)

Why doɇs this pɇrson fɇel the neɇd to randomly decoratɇ the letter Ɇ?

That’s exactly what it is. I wonder if any of the users being “roasted” figured out they ought to unplug it.

Ooh, Jason, tell me what you’re chasin’

Because the night will never give you what you want

Ooh, Jason, and if you can’t escape it

I hope you find whatever you’ve been looking for

I am predicting at some point Windows itself will become a business only product and cease to be marketed to consumers, and the home user platform will be some kind of live service bullshit probably served in a browser. Basically the Chromebook idea, but Microsoft.

They already do. You can also get Heelys in adult sizes, in case anyone was wondering.

Allow me to introduce you all to Angle Grinder Man.

Oh, one other point of order on that as well: Obviously even if it’s not all bullshit (spoiler: it’s all bullshit), Revelation is supposed to be a prophecy of the end of times which obviously hasn’t happened yet. I’m pretty sure we would have noticed if it did, what with the sounding of the seven trumpets, the worldwide earthquake, the 200 million horsemen slaying a third of mankind, etc.

So even if it’s all somehow inerrantly true, the Devil hasn’t killed anyone yet.

If we believe that the various Satans (in the original Hebrew, literally “adversary,” and rendered without the definite article so there are probably multiples of them) are in fact one and the same with the Devil (singular), this link-up doesn’t even occur until the Book of Revelation which is firmly a new testament thing and wholly unsupported by any of the old testament or ancient Hebrew sources from which it’s derived. Making all the assumptions required on basis that this is so, then whoever he was killed a lot of people in Revelation. But not until then.

In old Hebrew tradition, the Satans are sort of the prosecuting attorneys for god. They work for him in order to tempt the faith and righteousness of various people. Several mortal people are also given the moniker of “Satans” when they’re working against the interests of god or various other individuals.

Meanwhile, the notion that Lucifer is also one and the same with the Devil or any kind of Satan is a much later interpolation made when the church(es) of the era wanted to insert a bogeyman into their religion and they needed a justification for it, some time in the AD 200s. Lucifer is identified as the king of Babylon, a mortal, when he has attracted god’s ire in his sole appearance in Isaiah 14. The situation has become so warped that his name was finally removed in the New International Version of the bible and he’s simply referred to as the “morning star, son of the dawn.” (Isaiah 14:12, if you want to go have a look.)

Modern pontificates will also insist that the king of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 is also somehow the Devil, which is dubious. Even if he were, and god were speaking allegorically for precisely half of his rant as we are thus demanded to believe, god smokes him at the end of the passage anyway so it’s a moot point.

The only ideological consistency you’ll ever see from the right wing is whatever canard or talking point supports Their Guy, and that the rules should only apply to everyone else. Expect their actual viewpoints to flip-flop incessantly depending on whether or not Their Guy is currently in power.

Consider the IoT Enterprise LTSC builds. These come premade from Microsoft with less bloat (or none, in the case of the Win10 IoT version), and don’t shove the consumer features down your throat on every update because they’re designed for mission critical embedded applications.

I have 10 IoT LTSC running on most of our machines at work because a significant chunk of our hardware is not Windows 11 “ready” and we use many vendor-specific things that don’t work in Linux or Wine, and I use 11 IoT LTSC at home (locked to 23H2 so my Mixed Reality VR headset remains working!) without incident.

Without either of the above restrictions if I were you I would shop for a new mouse.

Hey. Hey you. As your attorney I advise you to buy a pocketknife. Preferably a really strange one.

The Qidi Q2 has built-in spaghetti detection (and print failure detection in general), auto leveling, bed mesh compensation, etc. It’s not a print farm machine, though, so how you’ll get your parts off the bed and into your finished bucket will require some outboard tools and elbow grease. If it’s mechanicals are anything like my prior X-Max 3 from them I don’t predict it will require any adjustment, maintenance, or parts replacement for many hundreds/thousands of hours of runtime. I guess eventually you’ll need a nozzle at minimum, and you might want to lubricate the linear guides on the gantries every now and again.

It’s also compatible with their “Qidi box” filament changer doohickey if that sort of thing is important to you.

As far as video games go, an obvious answer is the Sims.

Perhaps only slightly less prominent is Shadow of the Colossus. Insofar as I know all of the spoken dialog is a nonsense fictional dialect that definitely isn’t Japanese, except possibly when calling your horse’s name. The language is based off of syllables and random bits from both Japanese and Latin with some of the syllables being spoken backwards, and with a kinda-sorta Japanese style cadence. But it’s utter gibberish, and only the subtitles make it intelligible.
