Oh but "Sorry" had one very particular non-sarcastic use, and I used it (and it has been used by my opponent) when one of us had to go afk for a bit and waste a bit of the other's time, or had to concede from an interesting game because of IRL stuff... I'm gonna miss it for that reason alone.

So in the latest patch Blizzard replaced the "Sorry" emote (apparently because it was used sarcastically) with the brand new "Wow" emote, which is obviously impossible to use sarcastically. Good job, Blizzard. It's bulletproof. I spent several hours tonight trying to use this emote in a way that would imply sarcasm, but I just couldn't. I felt genuine and warm instead.

I expected this thread to be clickbait. I thought the title was lying to me!

You make a Fair;Point, but to be honest, I Really? Really! don't care.

So I went on Amazon today to check out the progress of my order, got distracted by suggestions, one thing led to another...

I'm not much into rap, but I do love Public Enemy.

Eh, I'm still backing it. I'll save on pre-whining and whine after the fact.

I'm yet to be fooled by teh internets today. It sorta feels like it's become less about fooling people into believing something and more about doing something wacky and immediately obvious. The "fools" in April Fools' Day are now the clowns, the pranksters themselves, rather than those who fall for the pranks.

My favorite game OST by far (same people's work on MM7 and HoMM 2-3 a close second):
P.S. Ignore the ambient sounds on the first few tracks, thankfully they go away eventually.

I'm gonna say Rin's route in Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia.
But the funniest moment ever was relatively recently in Grisaia. Sadly, it was probably unintentional humor. I was streaming it to one person, and...
SpoilerI got to one of the scenes where Yuuji is protecting Yumiko from thugs.
One of those thugs had bandaged hands, and I instantly remarked that he must be masturbating a lot, because that's how sophisticated my fucking sense of humor is.
Then the guy attacked, and the game started playing this awfully weird "fap fap fap" sound effect, which almost made me piss my pants.
Then, at the climax of the fight, Yuuji yelled out "HE'S COMING!" and I had to stop for, like, 5 minutes, because I just couldn't do anything but sob and wheeze uncontrollably.
I know it's not funny in retelling. YA HAD TO BE THERE!(TM)

At least now solidbatman know there is a good VN called Snow Sakura (Maybe it's mediocre for nowadays though).
I didn't exactly love it when I read it in the olden days either, and I was a lot less picky and cynical back then. It never really worked for me.

Hmm... *looks OP over suspiciously*... Well, you like DEARDROPS music, so you can't be that bad.
Welcome!

Congratulations, fellow oldtimer. May your inevitable decline be gentle and painless!

I liked it, I really did. But on the other hand, I've seen this movie already, many years ago. The entire thing is just two plus hours of squeezing new pegs into old familiar holes. An entertaining and engaging process, to be sure, and I can't wait for the real movie to start. In 2017.
Other than that, I wasn't entirely comfortable with pacing as well. I was fully expecting the search for Luke to take half of the second film, but... nope, there he is.
Also also, I've just seen Oscar Isaac in Show Me a Hero (where he's really, really good), and I barely recognized him.
Also also also, JJ Abrams is finally doing what he's good at in a job that suits his style. Too bad he had to turn Star Trek into Star Wars Lite to get the damn job.*
Also x4, can we all agree that Snoke is an unforgivably godawful name for the Big Bad?
*Actually, come to think of it, Lucas basically tried to do the reverse in the SW prequels. He tried to make them more "trekky" with all the council sessions, politics and trying to give a scientific explanation to the Force. That was also an entirely wrong way to go about it. Star Wars is to Star Trek what religion is to science (no offense meant to either). In SW, everything just works. Nobody explains and nobody should explain the mechanics of the fucking lightsaber or insist that the power of the Force is determined by intracellular organelles with a corny pseudoscientific name (that is in itself a lazy portmanteau of mitochondria and chloroplasts). That's what Trek fans get off on.

I always thought japan had it's own thing called WcDonald's.
Yes, it's actually even a bit disconcerting to see a non-mangled McD in an anime. You get a feeling of something not being quite right.

The episode was worth it for the Dothraki doing the Spanish Inquisition sketch!
Honestly, I didn't dislike it. With one notable exception: Dorne. Dorne has been a disaster from start to finish.
At least now that Doran is dead, I don't have to suffer through Alexander Siddig and the showrunners getting one of my favorite book characters so atrociously, horribly wrong.
