That's because Space Dandy is secretly incredible even though it wants you to believe otherwise.

Daaang. LESSON LEARNED! Now I can't say that anymore because I hate references. Except for: "You're killin' me, Smalls." I say that all the time. Uncontrollably. Can't even stop myself if I wanna.

This is so cool I hope to join you people some day when I lose my job again so I actually can play games in the middle of the day on Monday.

Haha that youtube image preview is quite the spoiler!

That assumes unions exist everywhere you might need one! For example, ain't no unions for game developers in Amurka. Anyway, my turn to complain about my job! First week was okay, except that the first two full days basically were setup time, so I mostly sat around doing nothing. After that, things got flowing nicely! The second week went well, too! Until I finished the tasks set before me and there were no more tasks on that project for me to do (it was a temporary thing while we squared out some Bureaucracy with a company we're working with). So Friday I spent trying to set up that shit so I could get back to work. Come in today and it's done! Except... the password isn't working. I can't log into this stuff. So I'm still sitting around doing nothing on the first day of the third week, occasionally calling their help desk nonsense to get it worked out. When I'm actually DOING WORK I enjoy it! Programming is rad. But right now I just want to die. I hate this shit so much. Having nothing to do AT WORK is probably the worst feeling. At least I get my first paycheck on Wednesday. INCOME! I HAVE INCOME AGAIN! I think I'm going to buy a Wii U with my first paycheck. I mean, I shouldn't. I'm so low on money. Lower than I've ever been since I finished school. But after the paycheck... I won't be??? (Speaking of school, I finally received my master's diploma! Only almost years later than I technically was supposed to. That's kind of cool, right?) I have other thoughts about my current State of Being which I threatened to share a few pages ago. THE THREAT STILL STANDS. At some point.

Yes I'm aware it's IN batman but I'm sure I heard it long before Batman.

Is that a Batman reference???

This is pretty much why I keep ping-ponging on how I feel about handling this shit. (Though it's less other people saying I'm an asshole and more me feeling like an asshole because I embrace any excuse to hate myself.) On the one hand, they looooooooove the attention, and I think it's undeniable that a significant number of them don't actually care about "ethics in journalism". They just want to watch the world burn. On the other hand, it drives me insane that it's happening and I hate seeing people I actually like being attacked and harassed out of the industry. So I never actually know what to do.

I am a man and I have no emotions so this checks out.

Using a word doesn't make you sound like an ass. Unless you're using the word "pretentious" to look down on people using words you don't usually see. Anyway, Barakamon is the best why aren't you watching it already, Gor, I'm so disappointed in you.

If you don't like memory pointers you are not a real programmer and get out of my profession.

In my current system of binge-watching every show ever except those I can't because they're currently airing, I'm finding it very hard to NOT watch episode two even though it's sitting right there in front of me. I guess I'm a bad person.

Pineapple?

I had the same reaction recently, Codicier, and, like others, I was also going to mention qBittorent. Everyone loves the Q!

Just watch Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu and get all the good stuff at once. (At least that's what I did. I've never watched the proper show.)

I never thought I'd meet anyone who didn't know The Sphinx Riddle. Everyone knows the The Sphinx Riddle! That said, wasn't the answer not the usual answer? I thought they did a good job of turning it around from the typical "MAN, MAN IS A BABY THEN AN ADULT THEN AN OLD MAN WITH A CANE" nonsense. Anyway, yeah, everything you asked is answered through the show. I am interested in Amagi Brilliant Park, and also dismayed no one has it...

Okay yeah that's more understandable and I agree. Sorry I misunderstood!

CORRECT. (Also by "opened up with" I mean a few minutes in.)

I don't think it's fair to call that article transphobic... In fact, it came out in support of the person who was hurt. Unless it was edited before (or after) I read it? It was, of course, unsympathetic to her desires to take the article down, of which I have mixed feelings, but transphobic?

Wow that is insane... I could never do that. It'd take like four lines of code to make a grid of cubes!

Nice the latest Doctor Who opened with a cover of the best Queen song!

also (thanks to wehuntedthemammoth)

Much as I've disliked Kotaku in the past, I honestly think they've been getting a lot better recently? Granted, I really only read things people have linked to me, so I don't know if that's representative of the whole shebang.

Speaking of log lady, I'd forgotten all about her. Wow, they just straight up ripped her intro to create an entire character in Alan Wake. Also I'm taking back what I said earlier, Bjorn. This is definitely a soap opera. The relationships in this show would keep a gamergater drawing red lines between pictures for DAYS. And that's just the first episode. Hoo boy. ...What's the etiquette for discussing the episodes in these threads? Obviously can't expect people reading this thread for the first time to have watched the pilot, so do we talk about it here and just put it all in spoiler tags? Or do we just wait for the associated podcast episode to come out and do our discussions there? The book club had pre-episode discussion threads, but those were also a whole month apart (OSTENSIBLY, UNTIL THEY WEREN'T).

I could do without it.
