The Devil's Machine is confiscated as evidence by the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition, unwittingly leading to the Bureau being erased in 1933 following an incident that the government has tried very hard to redact.

idea: Earthbound (SNES), except the party of Ness and his friends is replaced by Eliot Ness and his Untouchables. The final encounter with Heavily Armed Pokey ends anticlimactically as agents from the Bureau of Internal Revenue arrest him for tax evasion (for the riches he accumulated working under Geldegarde Monotoli). Giygas himself eludes arrest, but only because nobody can comprehend of his true form enough to slap the cuffs on him.

it is a lovely day and i have been to the dairy queen for ice cream. a rare treat because it takes about 6 miles of riding in total

I'm starting to realize, at this point, that what major media companies are doing to us in regards to rampant delisting and removal of movies/games etc. is Reverse Piracy, by _their_ definition of piracy. They believe piracy is theft? That piracy takes away from people? Then they go and take it away from everybody else.

Maybe the comparison only works when it's simplified beyond the point of usefulness, but damn it, it feels right to *me*.

Double rainbow all the way across the sky.

... What? I'm hip with the times, aren't I?

@GFD hot(?) take: the stanley parable is a visual novel

@fraggle@octodon.social You give up:
- balls that fly
- being able to blame the wind when your shot misses
- that nice long pleasant 250yd walk from the tee
- all of your clubs except one
- golf cart rides

you receive:
- all putting all the time
- bouncy walls
- the presence of kids
- shame
- a don quixote complex
- that last hole that just eats your ball and sends it back behind the counter at the clubhouse

@mcc A very merry cake-thumb 🎂👍 to you. Here is one of my favorite sky photos I've ever taken. The resulting image isn't nearly as vibrant as I remember the sky actually being that day, but the way the camera desaturated it makes me think film-noir, sort of.

@TonicBH I always worry when that much stuff in one category shows up at a thrift store at once. Was somebody getting rid of stuff in a hurry? Argument? Death in the family?

I can't imagine why else someone would dump off all of their Trek tapes in this photo from 7 years ago.
