Why did you delete this @absentbird@lemm.ee ? It was hilarious.

You’re right, I see that now from _bcron’s better image. Danke

This helped a lot, what I thought was the blending of the car behind especially. Thanks for correcting me

Ya’ll are right, I know how beds work but that original picture is so crunchy it looks fake without having seen the higher res image that _bcron posted. The post was funny but that particular shot just stood out funny to me, glad to be corrected

Because it’s photoshopped. Look at the strap going into the wheel well. Ignoring that it appears to stop before the edge, where is that going? Why is the car behind the wood stretched and blurred into it? Why is the side of the wood facing the camera in complete shadow unlike anything else in frame?

You’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth. If the truck’s absurd fake crunch isn’t obvious enough for people at least recognize the car behind it blending into the clip art quality wood layer.

I love this post and not just because I appreciate realism in gaming.

When I was in second grade a girl I barely knew and a boy I only slightly knew more were wrestling. I thought he was about to lose the upper hand so I intervened and the girl and I wound up rolling down a small hill, I don’t recall if that was part of my attack plan but let’s just say it was.

Now at the bottom of the hill she wound up with the high ground and while I lay on my back with my stomach exposed. She took this opportunity to bite me and while similarly it didn’t break skin I was still taken to the hospital for shots. Cassie, I still think about you sometimes.

Bunch of rednecks and angry fundies boycott a higher cost department store/coffee shop… meh. The same people boycott $2/gal alcoholic piss water? Real shit

I’m giggling at this and I don’t know why but I’m going to start making this statement as straight faced as possible when I’m told that he should be reelected

Speaking in inevitability isn’t very realistic regardless of the outcome as inevitably the solar system will collapse and steam will surely be out of business then, right?

What we do know is that steam is exceptionally profitable, at least according to their own internal metrics, at nearly 800k per employee. So they have no need to pump more, except “because more” but all we can do is consider that they haven’t yet and hope it continues.

I personally think Steam’s timeline to replacement is 100% based on how long they can maintain a positive relationship with their audience. I don’t disagree that a replacement will come, but we have seen other publishers spin up stores and largely fail because of shitty patterns so for now we are back to the “wait and see”. Their replacement will be the result of their own failures to meet and maintain a very vocal customer base

I’ve come to refer to it as static/snow but I specifically remember hearing it called ants/ant races as a child some 40 years ago. The husband of the elderly couple that took care of us base kids would insist he had a favorite and could tell if it was winning.

I get some strange comfort that it is called that by others and wasn’t some abstraction of my memory

Am I the only person who sees the feet in the first one backwards? Like this frog is sitting squid backed hunched over living his best life
