@Taweret I'LL TURN THIS MASTODON AROUND AND THERE'LL BE NO DISNEYWORLD FOR ANYBODY!!!!

I love how charmingly out of touch Tim Rowett is.

In this video he spends about thirty seconds pondering who Luigi might be and what the "L" on his cap stands for.

I've noticed that sometimes Steam doesn't properly record the amount of time I play a game.

That's fine.

...except when I leave a review it feels weird that I'm reviewing a game that steam says I played for "0.1 hours".

@pbandkate But ... the US Declaration of Independence was not a single physical artifact.

It was an open letter that was reproduced in a number of different forms, and the original draft was not kept.

I'm not sure how one would pee on an open letter. That's much more philosophical than my own peeing experiences.

FOR SALE : One Baby, NEW IN PACKAGE

@Taweret @ink_slinger @RexfordGTugwell

Ooo. "Earth Resists". Good title.

I want to watch that show already.

@ink_slinger @Taweret @RexfordGTugwell

Here's what I want to know : Roddenberry was also a writer of Westerns.

Did he not have any abandoned westerns kicking around when he died?

It would have been hilarious if his widow had gotten one of those produced.

Everyone would have watched, waiting for the spaceships, and they would never show up. It would just be a western.

@ink_slinger @Taweret @RexfordGTugwell

Roddenberry's title was "Battlefield Earth".

In the decades between when he gave up on the project and when his widow fished it out of his big box of abandoned projects, a novel had come out with that name, so they had to change it.

@Taweret That's a weird way to say "twenty times as much milk".

...like, it's not like cows make milk in indivisible batches you have to wait until it finishes a batch.

It doesn't come out in jugs.

@Taweret Head polka-dots are 100% more believable than any civilian fashion that has ever appeared in Star Trek.

@Taweret You notice this show usually ends like an episode of 'Mork and Mindy'?

Just Imagine Da'an is played by Robin Williams in his prime.

@Taweret This leaves me with the same question as Star Trek's baseball episodes : London England? Or London Ontario?

@quark

The Great Link.

It would just be a show about orange goop. That's it.

@comradetaylorswift

There's nothing more trustworthy than the social media account for promoting a food item that has to be spelled funny because it would be illegal to spell it the regular way.

@celesteh

Back then writers mostly came from the privileged class. So when they went to a hotel, they went to a luxury hotel.

The sort of person who would consider checking into a cheap hotel didn't become a writer.

@Taweret This is my new catch phrase.

"Be assured, my friend. William Boone will assist you."

@Taweret Am I remembering correctly that Lili does *not* get a skrill? Just a boring regular gun?

Do they explain that? Or are cool squid guns a boys-only sort of thing?

@Taweret Isn't that thing a spaceship?

With its pilot inside?

Why not go up a bit and shake them off?

@Taweret That phone prop looks pretty crumby compared to the prop they normally zoom in on.

@Taweret Oh, crap. He really does it? He shoots at butterflies?
