  • I don’t dislike linux, I dislike all the work people mention to me when I say I don’t use it because I’m as lazy as futurama’s lazy moon man. The response to that is usually a long list of taks they claim to be a very easy way to install Linux. I don’t care how hard or easy it is. I only do one thing. If I have to do two things, that’s too many things to do.

    Call me when someone makes a distro that is as lazy as an android phone: press a button, all gets done on its own.



  • I say it was a process of elimination.

    In a world in which heroes like Superman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Doctor Fate exist, your city has to be freaking cursed to keep getting all those cases of mental illness and corruption, keeping the city from really ever improving.

    Organizations like the League of Assassins and the Court of Owls alone wouldn’t cut it. Detective heroes would unravel their plans. Tech heroes would root their data out. Magical heroes would counter their spells, fast and strong heroes would weed out the thugs, henchmen, and mercenaries.
    Eventually, it would get more under control, like Metropolis, Star City, Central City, or Keystone City.
    They would need something so ingrained in the city that nobody can really ever remove it to get to the high levels of madness and crime you get in Gotham.

    So at some point, a writer had to give up, throw their hands up in the air, and go “then… then… it’s freaking cursed!”

    And then you watch the God/King of Cities talk with the avatar Gotham (Stormwatch #3), and it’s a freaking gargoyle talking about “the madness in me”, while Paris and Metropolis are just human-like women.




  • I got started using — because the golems in Guild Wars 2 speak in all caps and with em dashes between the words.
    I had to copy-paste after doing Alt+0151 somewhere else when doing the joke when using a golem transformation tonic and SPEAKING—LIKE—THIS since Guild Wars 2 does not respond to numpad input, but Mac users have it easy, they can just press Option+Shift+dash.

    On Windows, you would need a tool like PowerToys’ keyboard manager or a keyboard macro for that.
