I’m listening to the audio book of Brandon Sanderson’s latest Stormlight Archive book, and “You only use spoons for soup!” was the very last sentence I heard before stopping last session.

Nothing to do with you, but it was weird enough I felt compelled to share.

My favorite part of this video is the intro where the location is listed as just “Texas, USA”.

Basically yes, LGS is seafood for people who visit the coast once a year at best, who has never met a Marylander.

I can think of a half dozen reasons. Hell, I can think of a whole keg of reasons.

I’d have to flip a coin between Porcco Rosso and Naussica

Is this the Netflix adaptation of The Lusty Argonian Maid?

Work memory unlocked:

I once was tasked with a metaphorical trip to the basement to fix Cthulhu knows what in the Old Code. Thing was built on top of an ancient CLI tool that consumed and returned SOAP XML. It was terrible.

I spent a month untangling that mess and even pushed a fix to the tool. About a month later I get a phone call from someone asking me if “I was the guy who fixed the tool”. I said yes and was immediately offered a job to take over as lead dev on that team. Sensing a trap I politely declined. Dude sighed and basically said not to worry, it would have been miracle to find someone the day before he quits.

Felt like this:

Germans: Hold my meth. (Wait no give that back)

yes.

There’s a similar one named guake.

I’m convinced LJS is Taco Bell for people who moved away from the coast. They know it’s not sea food, but they crave it’s badness for its own sake.

I always pick a character from a movie to play characters in my campaigns. For example, I might decide this dragonborn librarian is being played by Zorg from the Fifth Element, so he’s going to talk with a slight west Texas twang.

Makes deciding what accent to use pretty easily, and gives me a canned personality to boot.

(My fallback for making the table regret talking to an NPC is Dick Van Dyke’s terribly-accentented chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.)

I don’t know what you said, but I like the way you said it.

Lucky kid got fish Linux installed at the factory. Good for him.

The #1 task requested of me at that lab was “can you install Napster on my computer”. The second was "I completely fucked this <visual present thing> can you fix it with the Photoshop?

My job was basically “Linux sys admin for the one Linux box that’s important for some reason that has to do with the printers”.

When I was a teen, I had a summer job at a laboratory. They had a BLAZING FAST T-1 connection. This was a big deal, that’s what hackers in movies dreamed about having access to.

So I took my gaming rig to workto play counterstrike one day. (it was always mostly deserted, and no one cared what the lab monkey did before noon when they all eventually showed up)

The latency was non existent. I felt like a god. I was banned from several servers that day becythey thought I was botting due to having an order of magnitude better ping than anyone I was playing against. I got paranoid and never took my machine to work again, but it was a fun day.

I want the DUN DU DUN DU DUUU NU NU intro with the camera flying over the town and a giant HBO logo warping into low earth orbit.

That intro slapped.

Hear me out. Next Gen “reboot” ala Strange new worlds where Affleck is an older Riker nearing the end of his command of the Titan.

Same default as everyone else: asshole.
