But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That’s right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm

You can’t kill non-targets, be caught doing anything illegal, or let any bodies get discovered (unless it was an accident kill), but you absolutely can use guns. You can use them on the target, shoot out cameras, use them for distraction or panic shots, blast open locked doors, drop them on the ground to pull an NPC off their route, etc.

The game is a sandbox. They give you a ton of tools and it’s up to you to figure out how to use them. You’re meant to play each level over and over in a variety of ways (as shown by all the mastery challenges) and having all these different tools at your disposal is part of what makes that fun. But if what’s fun for you is to mow everyone down with a shotgun, then go for it. There’s no in-game incentive to try for silent assassin on every run.

I really enjoy watching Hitman competitions on YouTube. You’ll have like one person blowing up propane tanks, one person sniping the targets from across the map, and one person using poison and tasers, with all of them finishing with the top ranking and within seconds of each other. It’s wild to me how many viable ways the game gives you to kill targets and how creative it allows you to be.

That was when he took LSD for the first time intentionally. There was one time before that when he absorbed it accidentally.

People say this a lot and I believe it’s based on this quote:

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.

Many people seem to interpret “that song isn’t mine anymore” to mean “that song is now Cash’s”. But here’s another quote:

Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I’d known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive.

To me, that doesn’t sound like he’s saying it’s Cash’s song now or that Cash’s version is better. It’s more that Cash proved to him that even though this was a deeply personal song about his own life and struggles that he’s not the only one capable of doing it justice. He realized that other talented artists can take that song about him and transform it into a song about them. The song’s not his anymore because it could be anyone’s song.

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn’t play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it’s probably more balanced now than before but I haven’t spent enough time with it to get good again.

I’d add Slice and Dice to that list

I really liked the first one but for some reason the second one didn’t really click with me.

I played this on Android. It was a lot of fun.

Mickey and Minnie’s Gift of the Magi says otherwise

It turns out that I had to beat level 4 to unlock the red and blue heroes. Which didn’t take long at all but seems a little strange to me.

Anyway, I finally did an actual run and it seems like there was a bunch of new content from the last update.

I used to play this game quite a bit on my phone and had a ton of fun with it. One of the roguelikes that I’ve played the most (I haven’t played a ton of them but this one stuck with me more than most).

Yesterday I randomly decided to start another run and it seems to have changed significantly since I’d last played it. I started a new Classic run and started getting some of the randomly generated heroes like the Random runs used to have? I’m not sure I like that.

Stupid people require oxygen to live.

It’s contextual. If it’s used in a phone number, it’s a pound sign. If it’s placed before a number, it’s a number sign. If it’s placed before a tag, it’s a hash/hashmark/hashtag.

No one would pronounce “#foo” as “pound foo” any more than they’d call a #2 pencil a “pound two pencil”. Because “pound” is clearly not the right name in either context.

Americans have been comfortable using different names for the symbol in different contexts since long before hashtags even existed. So when websites started using them and referred to them as “hashtags”, that was fine. It was a new context so it could use whichever name it wanted. (Well, “octothorpe-tag” is probably far too unwieldy to catch on.)

Of course if we’re talking about the symbol without a specific context, then we have to pick one of the names. For most Americans, that “default” name is probably still “pound”. Twenty years ago I’d definitely say that, but even then it wasn’t ubiquitous. It wasn’t uncommon to hear it referred to as a hash. And it seems like the use of “pound” has declined and the use of hash has increased as people now spend more time online and less time dialing phone numbers. There’s also a generational divide with older people more likely to say “pound” and younger people more likely to say “hash”.

I see. Yeah, the end cursor can take some getting used to.

The thing that always messed me up when starting out was how deleting any text overwrites the clipboard. It was an odd quirk at first but I kind of like it now.

I still constantly wrongfoot copy and paste regularly

What do you mean by this?

Are you implying that my math professors do not think math and logic are important just because they used ≠ instead of !=?

That’s not why they’re going after Sony though.

She says the company abused its dominant position by requiring digital games and add-ons to be bought and sold only via the PlayStation Store, which charges a 30% commission to developers and publishers.

Maybe Nintendo has a similar practice with their Nintendo shop that they could be sued over, but regardless they’re still allowed to price their own games however they want.

No, The Pirate Bay didn’t exist until 2003
