A Mafia game where all the abilities are worthless. (Firefighter with no arsonist, deprogrammer with no cultists, psychiatrist with no serial killer...)

Yeah but they're not some shitty open source project, they're an actual company that makes actual money. That's the surprising part.

I have no Return key. Only 2 Enters. (Well, technically 4 since I have an external keyboard connected to the laptop)

@Boner Hooly shit that's elaborate.
-
@Boner That... that is horrifying.
I guess Hermes is pretty on-target.
But Leela and the Prof? Horrifying. Why did they think the Prof needed to be a muppet? They couldn't have just found an older actor?
-
@blakeyrat I agree. It looks like they did a good job of Zoidberg too, but damn it Leela is not supposed to be horrifying (though at least they didn't muck this up as much as the Syreen in Starcraft 3. But I digress). I don't know what they were thinking with the Professor (well, apparently "make him look exactly like the cartoon version rather than figuring out what it represents").
Can't judge too much on a short clip though. How they handle the story and the characters will ultimately be more important. And I'll probably forget about it and never check it out anyway, so whatever.

@Scarlet_Manuka Shatner's playing Zap Brannigan, though, right?

I could probably suspend my disbelief if the voices were any good.

Bad Idea: Post an alleged bit of 'humor' that would have been considered played out in 1983, realize what a tool you just sounded like, then spend ten minute trying to come up with some suitably self-deprecating quip before posting something even lamer than the joke you are making fun of.

Run all the games of error_bot on the same forum thread. Commands go to a random instance (or all of them at once).

@error create Markov chains from other players' posts in the game threads.

The bots play with other bots. It just runs in attract mode.

Marketing your car to... who, actually? Nine year olds?
-
@blek I've seen a lot of car commercials recently where the people who went to the car dealership are surprised about which brand of car the dealership has.
"I was not aware that the Toyota dealership sold Toyotas."
-
@ben_lubar Toyota has four different kinds of stores in Japan, each selling different car models:

@aliceif It's good you posted that, because we all know Ben L lives in Japan.

Nice. FTFA:
Regular / Fitted. This implicitly says that people who want fitted are somehow irregular.
Fitted / Non-Fitted. Again, implicitly saying one is different from the norm.Uh...only if you know nothing about clothing and the human body.
Tits / No Tits. (Suggested by a woman I hasten to add!) Not all women have breasts. Some people have breasts but choose not to emphasise them with figure hugging clothes
So they'd rather have ill fitting clothes that emphasize them in a different way?
Straight Cut / Curve Cut. The most factual description, but caused some confusion when we asked as this is not usual terminology.
Duh. We don't need to reinvent words become some people are extremely creative about being offended.

Tom Currie, 24, was working as a barista and bartender at a restaurant on the Hibiscus Coast when he was overcome by “Pokemon Go” mania.
“I wanted to have an adventure,” Currie told The Guardian. “I have been working for six years and I was desperate for a break. And Pokemon gave me the chance to live that dream.”
SIX YEARS

@boomzilla if I could switch from working to playing videogames and still have food, internet, electricity and water, I would do that too.

Gorilla is an ape while guerrilla is a member of a small independent group taking part in irregular fighting, typically against larger regular forces.
Along the same lines:
An entomologist is someone who can identify different types of insects and other creepy crawlies.
An etymologist is someone who knows how their names are spelled.

Honestly, "I spent those six months after my last job doing drugs and banging prostitutes" would probably look better on your resume.
