... there's only seven days in a week, though?

[Dunamisdeos]

Double shift, perhaps?

[hector13]

Could just be 8 consecutive days of work.

Or he lives in the secret martian base that... upps, you did not just read that.

I dunno why, but it's always a bit surreal to see Linux-specific things running under Windows. Something about seeing "dpkg" or "pacman" or "bash" in Task Manager makes me feel a bit weird. And I'm just trying to compile my own copy of FFmpeg with every single feature enabled, and with march=native added in CFLAGS just to see how much faster a tuned binary runs against a generic one. It's my own personal copy anyway, so it's not like I need it to be compatible with anything that isn't my own computer.

I just threw my glasses in the trashcan and put the paper towel back on my face.

Seems like everyone does that every now and then, I mean I've done it, went to hang up the phone and threw it in the trash.

King Zultan really knows how to end a conversation.

Avatar is back in theatres in China. A pleasant surprise, as I never saw it in 3D until today.

Which Avatar? The one with the blue aliens, or the one that shouldn't have existed?

[delphonso]

Blue aliens one. Apparently it got rereleased here - it had a shortened run back when it came out because it was too popular? Got pulled and replaced by something more patriotic and less western (funny since Americans are obviously the villains in the film)

[MaxTheFox]

Which Avatar? The one with the blue aliens, or the one that shouldn't have existed?

What's the second one? There is only one with the blue aliens.

[methylatedspirit]

What's the second one? There is only one with the blue aliens.

The second one is the live-action adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", "The Last Airbender", referred to as "Avatar (the movie)" (or similar) in some circles. It changes between 'blue alien' movie and ATLA movie depending on context, hence the asking. One review of the latter just put me off watching it at all. It appears to be so bad that you don't even know it exists at all.

I don't know if the ATLA movie had a 3D release, per se, but it's not a dumb assumption to make; 3D was sort of The Big Thing for a while, no?

That's... a common in-joke for ATLA fans, pretending the movie doesn't exist. Looks like you missed it.

And yes it's shit. Read this article.

It's now reached the point I'm literally dreaming about new ogre battle style games being published.

Not even dreaming about playing them, dreaming about finding them on store shelves and/or online shops. Just that. My dream brain is producing goddamn steam store pages in wan ogrelust.

Orgia Story, you don't exist _{and your name sounds like cheap porn, now that I type you out, though the actual term would make a damn good plot foundation, good job dream brain, as well as totally let you still use queen lyrics as a subtitle, seven seas of rhye fitting entirely too well, ferex}, but I apparently wish you did

I like to think of myself as ('like to' being the key phrase) being decent at in-jokes, assuming I actually know about it. I walked straight into that one; tripping and falling down a flight of stairs, presumably. Detecting joke questions is where I tend to fail, seemingly; I've missed the point of a lot of joke questions, and specifically only questions. Joke-anything else appears to be interpreted correctly (for some arbitrary measure of "correct"), but questions trigger an urge to answer, bypassing joke detection entirely.

Not my finest work, but a lot of things are, by definition, not my finest work.

Read this article.

I started browsing around on that site beyond the linked article, in hopes that maybe it would include some tips for new delightfully terrible movies I could watch.

...but the site itself is horrible. I'm halfway tempted to think it's some form of meta-satire with how shockingly whiny and arbitrary some of the reviews/descriptions are (not to mention how horribly written, with bizarre typos and grammatical errors in abundance), but then some of the other points seem to be in earnest... So I'm confused.


I just wanted to browse for turkeys! I wasn't ready for a diatribe on why the presented motives of a talking polar bear were unrealistic!
