Give the kid credit, a god who flaunts the capacity to perform miracles and yet allows tremendous suffering to continue does suggest malevolence

I've been playing a guitar for decades with a similar but worse neck crack that was repaired less competently and it has held up well, so i believe you in and think there's a 90% chance you won't lose an eye

Well that's a delightful little minimalistic thing. Clocked out after 10,000 points -- could do with some more aggressive escalation of difficulty to keep it from feeling like it'd go on forever -- but that's a pretty pure distillation of the core of some peggle-y gameplay and I dig it.

The worst part is that those dodecahedra aren't even relevant! They're Rupert, like most convex polyhedra! (That image looks like a mid-transit example of two dodecas lined up in order to pull of the Rupert trick, which I'll admit has more visual pop than the noperthedron itself.)

trying to put together some sort of Dashcon type joke about compensating aggrieved Americans with "an extra hour in the giant ballroom"

Interesting events on the Norwegian/Swedish border, where the Hagland Captain is still stuck next to the Svinesund Bridge having failed to successfully identify the wet bit that runs underneath it.

some post-grad doing their philosophy/ontology thesis on the Sorites paradox and sex toys, exploring the boundary regions on the spectrum that lies between a fully-articulated realdoll and unaided jerking it: "A Penumbra, A Pedunda"

sitting stonily across the table from my blind date during a lull in conversation, before bursting out with an ascerbic "give me a topic!"

is it cheating if it's a lifesize silicone sex doll

is it cheating if it's secretly a 53 year old man using the chatroom handle SororitySweetie69

is it cheating if it's a jar of peanut butter that you keep hidden behind a bunch of neglected jams and mustards at the back of the fridge

Sorry, no, just joking about the very long Mariners game

Eyes Wide Shut depends so much on Cruise being an unlikable and insecure prick with a shit eating grin that Fraser’s undeniable humanity would undercut the whole vibe.
