They banned Slaughterhouse Five. Just a little information on Kurt Vonnegut’s experience in World War II that eventually inspired him to write the book:

He was sent as a POW to Dresden. On February 13, 1945, British and American bombers destroyed the city by dropping high explosives followed by incendiary bombs. The resulting firestorm turned the non-militarized city into an inferno that killed up to 60,000 civilians. Vonnegut and his fellow POWs survived by accident only because they were housed some 60 feet underground in a former meat locker and slaughterhouse. Vonnegut’s job for weeks after the bombing was to gather up and burn the remains of the dead. His experience at Dresden marked him for life and eventually resulted in his literary masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five.

The Florida Department of Education banning one of the most important American novels of all time, that was written by a WWII veteran, from American schools, is the kind of dark humor commentary that you’d find in a Vonnegut book.

I spent a few too many seconds thinking that famous actor Matt Dillon is a linux enthusiast before I realized that Matt Dillon the software engineer was who is being mentioned here.

Franky knows what it means to be free!

On top of that, they also completely ignore the real meaning of Russophobia which is the fear of movies directed by the Russo brothers.

“An hour saved is an hour earned.”

It’s very possible my sheer lack of knowledge of the unix surrealism world means this has already been clearly debunked or blatantly confirmed, but I have it in my head that:

• With some of the older techno-mage masters, such as the last fish, freedom is in their digital DNA. They spread freedom and unshackle others from their digital handcuffs as intended when they were created. The girl, however, is not necessarily created with this inherent will of freedom, but rather gains this will on her own after following the call from the elder to start her mission.

Bartholomew Kuma’s incredible powers from eating the paw paw fruit and his ability to sneak into a lot of situations in One Piece is adding up!

One of my favorite game publishers, this is wild (and not the Outer kind of wild). I’m super curious if the entire staff will start their own publishing company (which I imagine is harder to do without the financial backing of a billionaire’s daughter) or if they’ll split off and go their separate ways.

I’m also very curious if this will start changing the kinds of games Annapurna publishes or if they’ll still take interest in odd and niche games that need a publisher. I wish I knew more about the dispute here but time will tell what happens next at some point.

The Batterfly Effect

This seems like something Kelvin would do on The Righteous Gemstones.

Eldritch grammar

Jian-Yang!

Ah the ol’ Lemmy switcharoo!

Extra points for The Simpsons reference in your title, 11/10 post.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

“It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times?! You stupid monkey!”

You’ve got red on you.

I can’t believe I never heard about this before. This is fascinating, thank you for sharing. I’m sure some movie producer is trying to get the rights to Ken Ono’s life story if someone hasn’t already!

It might depend on how many people are familiar with the flowers but “Yellow Shrimp and The Phipps” sounds like a worthy name to post on [email protected]

That’s awesome, well done! Any idea if it’s worth it to take the passwords you’ve earned over to Oracle of Seasons in order to unlock the alternate plot points, expanded story and extended ending? I always liked the idea of the two games interacting to create a third unique experience, but never knew anyone who actually used the interactive features.
