I dunno, I usually go to the candy shop marijuana gummy dispensary shop for my bait…

baiting…

I’ve never been the sort of person to ask or insist anyone to display a particular expression. But…

At times I’ve encountered friends, both male and female, that were struggling in life and crying.

Sometimes I would smile at them and say “Hey, you’re leaking again”

I almost always got them to lift their spirits and smile, with a bit of a lighthearted chuckle even.

Though not a moment I’d take a photo of, out of respect, it still reminds me how easy it can be to get a friend to smile.

Nobody asked Luigi to smile, he just did…

You explained it extremely well!

Now go forth and train/fix autocorrect and artificial intelligence…

From my research and understanding, Descent source code was largely the beginning of OpenGL.

Don’t quote me on that though, I don’t have any immediate references or links to that right now.

Electrified razor wire right?

Ah, you actually bothered with the level builder? I never quite got that deep into it, but I’ve looked into it, might even have a copy of that buried somewhere on an old backup HDD.

I never found the extra free time to try that out though, I just stuck with the stock levels.

Indeed, the game can be rather tricky to navigate. The guide bot was a really neat addition, but even without that, you do know Descent from day one has a map mode that shows areas you’ve explored right?

Ever tried having health insurance from a particular provider in one state, and having a health issue in another state?

You Luigi it.

There ain’t a goddamn thing united about these fucking states, except they let you temporarily cross the borders for a few days or couple weeks or so. God forbid you have any issues out of your registered home state though, you’re basically fucked.

The year just started, I haven’t even had a chance to record my annual 12 Farts Of The Year yet…

Wait, what about D2 bothered you? Was it that stupid thief bot? If so, yeah totally agreed, that addition sucks, but the rest of D2 is awesome to me. I even got the source code and compiled it to run natively on Linux.

By the way, that damn thief bot, yeah… nothing ever brought me greater satisfaction than killing that slick fast bastard in the game!

Yes indeed, absolutely! I was able to test it on my shitty laptop for a short moment, and the graphics are absolutely amazing, even at lowest quality and resolution.

Sadly I only got like 3 frames per second on my piece of shit laptop, and I can’t afford to build a high end rig these days. ☹️

Still, an absolutely amazing game, if your hardware can properly handle it…

Elon Musk’s mom.

My favorite game is Descent, I just wish I had the hardware to play the successor, Overload…

I never suggested I didn’t believe anyone, I just wanted a refresher on what happens to be a rather simple and common typo/misspelling, that even autocorrect and artificial intelligence can and do frequently get wrong.

English is known to be an awkward language anyways, and these days teachers are more and more using artificial intelligence to help teach their students. After 30ish years of reading both correct and incorrect uses of its versus it’s, I started to forget which way is correct.

But it also makes one wonder, when and where exactly did the awkward rules of the apostrophe, plus other awkward rules and spellings, even enter into the English language?

You never used the word they, you used the word them multiple times though.

Care to compare and contrast the difference?

Then why does it vs it’s break all the other rules of the apostrophe?

Where’s the exact exception?

Them was originally intended as plural though. When did people decide to jank up the defined language? They/them/those are meant as plural.

And I might have made a subtle mistake earlier. He/she/it are pronouns, him/her/it as well.

His/hers/its are possessive pronouns. Can we try to stick to some sort of standard in the language, with clarity and without offense?

The right to privacy and the right to repair my own stuff. At the current pace, that seems like a daydream version of a nightmare… ☹️
