Critics say he's a devilishly handsome young man with a cardboard box for a head. Transhumanists call him a staunch anti-robot-rights activist who must be stopped at any cost. His doodles are up on display on the wall behind some obscure museum in Paris no one ever heard of. Born and bred a metalhead, he's also a three-time mosh pit champion. He is... a mildly interesting man somewhere in the world.

Dude. Where you even trying to hide your stash?

So far it's mostly ancient digital versions of music. Mainly Chopin, Chinese, and Now That's What I Call Music! compilations with a sprinkle of Sevendust. Now you can tell this person was from around here for a while.

Sweet. External hard disk at a thrift store. Wonder what sort of wonders the previous owner left behind.

Maaaaaaaan. Wished someone around here in meatspace had some RPG/D&D/OSRIC group looking for some new lackies. I'm feeling an itch to learn it.

If there are 🥇, 🥈, and 🥉 emojis, there needs to be a :participation_ribbon: emoji.

Waugh! Don't think having a sharp picture is such a good idea on this monitor. Everything looks like a broken JPEG!

Is a cockpit just a snakepit but with chickens instead of snakes?

It's not Earth that's flat yo. It's Mars being flat that we need to be worrying about.

Starting a petition for a Mastodon instance with SomethingAwful emotes for its emoji set.

Does anyone have suggestions for different instances with, say, a different Mastodon culture?

It almost feels like "toxic positivity" here instead of "toxic negativity" and it's making me sick.

Another reason to like IRC: When your location (whether it be a workplace or college campus) has such a crummy network speed around the 16K/s range, it still works.

Blank posts on a page because the author couldn't be arsed to render the Markdown to HTM before publishing thus relying on a client-side script. That's some next-level laziness right there.
