The Greatest Vapourware Story Of All Time. Probably the second-most expensive video game ever made, still in alpha, years behind schedule, and the developers posted a picture on Instagram of their new $20,000 coffee machine.

I had always heard that Americans don't have Smarties, which seems weird. It turns out they also don't have ketchup chips, cream soda crush, or Coffee Crisp, which makes me understand why they elected Trump: if my life was that horrible, I would also want to destroy my own country.

Wiktionary has some excellent etymologies. Edit: of course some clueless idiot edited the charm out of it before this post dropped. Here's an archived copy.

Every time I turn on Chrome it informs me that they're completely killing off flash, as in, not even allowing unsupported versions to run. This means thousands of free browser games, from the time before micro-purchases, are gone forever. Mobile and HTML5 have failed to produce even one game as good as Stick RPG 2, The Gemcraft series, Frog Fractions, Rebuild 2, The Burrito Bison Games, or countless others. We accidentally gave the internet and mobile to about five or ten companies and now the future fucking sucks!

I love Rails, but I wish there were a better, more simple reference. In the meanwhile, rails types and their underlying meanings in Mysql, Sqlite3, and PostgreSql.

Machine-generated music that is actually really good. A lot like what they would play at night on the local university radio when I was a kid.

A few seconds from various Youtube videos with very few views. Surprisingly interesting.

I like computer games but I'm happy to call myself a 'casual', because gamers are the worst people in the world in every way possible. Extra-hilarious gaming controversies.

One of the entries about mentions a guy having objects thrown at him for playing Jiggly Puff. Here is his defence of himself. "People don’t like it when I pop off after victories, especially when they come via Jigglypuff, and they definitely don’t like the methods I use to win tournaments. But that doesn’t matter to me. Every story needs a bad guy. In some ways, the role suits me nicely. After all, as far as I’m concerned, my destiny has already been written."

KC Green has created another webcomic, this one being a very NSFW gag strip. My favourite is the ASMR lady.
