Block him, Squid. He’s doing this in every thread and you need to put this energy towards more important things.

Free software had a non-free extra bit that it technically didn’t need. Accidentally got changed to need the non-free part in order to run which caused news stories. Now the change has been reverted so it’s free again.

The IRS only has a limp dick because Repubs won’t allow Congress to pay for their Viagra.

Sure, OK.

I can only assume they’re referencing the recent hack and subsequent leak of data from Game Freak, including the code for several Pokémon games and some absolutely wild in-universe lore seemingly written by Game Freak employees.

How are you going to bring up early CR Matthew Mercer without his most infamous pronunciation gaffe?

Sigil* as “siggle”. If I were at that table, I’d still be ribbing him about it (good-naturedly, of course).

I don’t know if it would meet your “no kid’s movie” requirement, but Hocus Pocus has been in my spooky season rotation forever.

Also, it’s technically a musical I guess but the animated Legend of Sleepy Hollow narrated/sung by Bing Crosby is a classic.

Everything else on my list has already been mentioned, but I would be remiss not to mention one of my wife’s favorites, Corpse Bride. If you were already looking at Nightmare Before Christmas, I think you’ll enjoy it.

WRT Secret of Mana - maybe play the first little bit yourself until you unlock a second character, then save and you two can start from there. Trust me.

Also, I know it’s a side scroller, but Castle Crashers is great fun if you haven’t tried it yet.

Pretty much any of the SNES era arcade ports: TMNT, Knights of the Round, Sunset Riders… Though maybe not all of them in one sitting.

That’s all I’ve got off the top of my head. Happy gaming!

Hey man, Joan Laurer had nothing to do with this.

+1 for Archinstall. I’m a Linux noob and getting everything set up was a cinch. Even had a spot to put in my address so I can get my first pair of thigh length striped socks from the AUR.

^that ^was ^a ^joke.

Bames Nond’s having a stronk, call a Bondulance.

Don’t forget to polish with the woodoo hide!

Houston native spotted. I’m so sorry.

But this behaviour isn’t really new - I used to work at the Whole Foods on Kirby, which caught fire back in… god, 2012 or so? And someone drove up WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL BLAZING, was informed that the store was closed, and legitimately responded, “But where am I gonna get my coconut water?”

They may be more mask-off about it now, but it’s always been a thing.

People aren’t using Boatlights-tan for desu memes anymore? I really have gotten old.

Grab 'em by the headlines. When you’re famous, they let you do it.

Not that you need to use special tools. SteamOS is built on Arch so you can just… y’know, install shit on there.

I feel this pretty acutely. But I’ve tried to change the way I approach it. When I randomly remember my cringe moments, and I start feeling like I’m going to be obsessing, I try to think about how I’d react if it was a friend of mine telling me about some stupid thing they did forever ago instead of me. That can be enough sometimes for me to stop and say (sometimes out loud, it helps) “That was forever ago and yeah, it was stupid, but you learned.” And it helps. I can’t always move past it, but it seems like it works more often than it doesn’t. If that makes sense.

Yeah, you did some stupid shit. But guess what! If you did it more than 7 years ago, biologically speaking you’re technically a whole-ass different person now. I don’t know if this will help anyone, but I hope it does.
