What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Don't pay that. Get it itemized first. Then look into a payment plan.

A lot of people answering yes we memorized like 10 numbers of family and close friends but what's being noted less is that we didn't *try* it just happened naturally because we dialed them so often and no longer needed to look in our lil books

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

It's going to be interesting when / if the third movie comes out and (if) the "canon event" framework gets challenged

Bernie Kerik is one of the worst characters of our time. He was carrying on an affair as police commissioner using an apartment specially reserved for 9/11 crews clearing debris from Ground Zero. He was a convicted felon and helped wreck Iraq. He deserved precisely zero tributes in public life.

Noel Hidalgo 🗽❤️🚲 @noneck.org · 1d

"Kerik's professional biography is long, fascinating, and so chock-a-block with outrageous and alarming episodes of moral failure that his life takes on a sort of mythic scale, a tall tale of rolling skullduggery." - @nickpinto.bsky.social

is anyone else getting tired of the victorian / middle earth aesthetic discord has been using? guilds were fine but this is a little excessive

discord context menu that lists

"send to the gallows
enroll as royal guard
stop the tomfoolery
behead postehaste
seize this user
inform of a malicious plot"

as available options

Biden let Bibi play him for a fool, to his face, badly damaging his own political standing and that of his party, all in service of a genocidal campaign of retribution

all out of, as far as I can tell, a devout belief that Israel can do no wrong

that is his legacy and he brought it on himself

i do not have a lot of tolerance for people whining that Netanyahu fucked Biden over in order to get Trump in office so he could do whatever he wanted. yeah. he absolutely did that. that was obvious before 10/7.

there is no person on Earth more incompetent as a foreign policy thinker than Biden

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that
