The left ones are pretty easy but the right ones are a bear. Best wishes for your procedure.

I’ve been doing some Delta Green and it’s been great. We’re about to close the campaign and I fear for my character’s life and or sanity.

I agree that one (and “Dear Doctor” for very similar reasons) felt like it was written strangely, as though they had an ending they intended but then didn’t really support the ending naturally through the episode itself. It relies heavily on the audience already knowing and accepting the premise that the prime directive is good, and therefore everything bad that happens as a result of breaking the as-then-nonexistent prime directive is therefore narratively justified. This working backwards kind of storytelling falls particularly flat in Cogenitor where the species they’re interacting with isn’t pre-warp. In the episode Archer is off in the star exploring pod with the alien captain discussing Shakespeare because he’d given the aliens access to Earth’s database; Trip did the exact same thing with the extra step of teaching an alien to read first. The entire premise of Starfleet is to meet new species and learn from them, which is exactly what Trip was doing. The fact that the new species also learned from Trip can hardly be taken as going against that premise.

For the curious that is very much Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.

No such thing as unreasonable with those games because they were brilliant.

Escape Velocity and its sequels.

Sneaking a little B5 in. Does that count? Is that even legal here?

Yes, Wizardry is a very old school rpg. Both that and Valbrace are “explore the dungeon in first person and you’d better be mapping them if you don’t want to be hopelessly lost” style games. I find the mapping to be very satisfying but I’m probably an anomaly because all games have auto maps and objective markers these days.

Almost every game is fun, and there are some that are amazing. Valbrace has fully captured me currently, probably due to my love of the old Wizardry series. Avianos is brilliant too, I’d like to go back for the cherry on that one.

Homer, go back to the garage.

But I’m mystified by the secret point. Whatever the secret point is, it’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted.

More rest periods! I do love stop-motion dinosaurs though.

In the den? May god have mercy on us all.

Mr. B Natural you’re hot!

All the warthogs at the party are very ugly and have warts, including the handsome one. There’s nothing really to distinguish the handsome one except he’s got the cool eyes thing going on and he’s smoking. So you can interpret the joke a couple of ways: a) it’s silly Larson anthropomorphism where humans like us reading the cartoon don’t get what attributes animals would find attractive or b) every animal thinks cool eyes and smoking is cool, which probably circles back to being a commentary about those things not being terribly cool at all. Or a hundred other meanings I haven’t gotten.

Edit: I don’t think it’s a specific reference, more just the 70s/80s “movie cool” character would look like that but not be a warthog

Still my all time favorite episode. Good news.

It’s bothering me how the cord is coming out of the second tone knob and the jack is just sitting there lonely and empty.

Hail to thee Kamp Krusty by the shores of big snake lake. Though your swings are rusty, we know they’ll never break!
