Rare griping about my parents moment 2 

so my mum has the BRILLIANT* idea of asking ME to buy it on my account to get it sent to me so I can send it to her.

*absolutely mindbogglingly daft

I say "hey hold on that'll cost a shitton are you sure??"
she says yes.
I say "...I mean... this probably isn't gonna happen but, I guess I can take a look at this thing, see what it is at least, what the deal is."

I look it up, Paula is like "hey we've got one of those, she can have it for free if she likes"

Rare griping about my parents moment 1 

fucksake why is my mum so bloody oblivious.

So, she wants a vintage Brexton 1950s picnic hamper, and she found one on ebay that she wants, and she paid for it, but the seller returned the money because he lives like 30 miles north of Sheffield, where I live, and she's down in Guildford, and he doesn't wanna post this thing (understandable, it's fragile, heavy as fuck, and an antique) to her.

@revolverocelot I mean if you count Sheffield as britain then Henderson's Relish which is like Worcestershire sauce but
A) You can way more easily spell AND pronounce it
B) Is way fuckin' tastier than Worcestershire Sauce
and C) is also actually vegan suitable too as it doesn't contain anchovies.

tfw you see something, and you KNOW a mutual is gonna love it, so you just boost/retweet it without notifying them, and then you see they enjoyed it

This is a GitHub repository containing the source code of Pokémon Red and Blue, disassembled and refactored to human-readable (and editable!) asm.

While the code is refactored, its functionality is untouched, and the ROMs you built with this code will be identical to the one that is on US Pokémon Red or Blue cartridge.

It is a really cool and interesting project!

@cozykaffe@snouts.online ...unfortunately I just imagine that hairstyle but it's actually the tips of the hair is sugar encrusted like Frosted Flakes/Frosties

Well, the Rockwell Descent was...

...tiny.

kinda broken in places. Playable, but not terribly interesting.

Time to play its sequel. The Rockwell Pursuit! Which by the author's own admission, is far far better than the Descent, because the Descent was a very early work of his, and is, quote "Held together by its bugs somehow", unquote.

@owashii@snouts.online @avie@awoo.space also apparently Archer is kind of MORE faithful to the James Bond books than the actual movies too, I can't comment on how entertaining Archer is though I've not watched it.

@owashii@snouts.online @avie@awoo.space confirmed, i have also watched several of them, this is all true.

...apparently the books are EVEN WORSE tho. Like, the movies are actually BETTER and more INTERESTING than the books lol. (also somehow bond is even MORE ofa misogynist in the original books holy shit)

there is nothing bad or shameful or embarrassing about being autistic

better yet they're designed as logistics robots not combat robots so they're friembs <3
