Went through all of them && gave them a -- of my own.

Some EU country. No problems, yet.

@Lensflare Now that I think about it, Bloody Mary uses this trope, as well.

@BordedDev A person watching enough hentai will probably know that from the context.

@Lensflare Oh, a Candyman joke, cool.

/* Or maybe Beetlejuice, but I either don't remember seeing it, or have yet to. */

@retoor I'm reminded of Quagmire opening doors for some reason:

OT: Anyone interested in full list of changes:

Speaking of BrowserStack - I'd been using that one for a while when dealing w/ a Facebook port of one of our games at previous job.

Worked well.

But that approach would be advisable solely when doing pro dev.

It would definitely kill the fun portion you're having w/ the project right now, @retoor, but you already know that.

OK, reread the post.

My take was more for the:

'there were multiple instances where people somehow just "said the magic words" and everything worked for them. but if I said the same words it doesn't work for me. so what's the missing ingredient?'

part.

@jestdotty I was speaking in generalities for what might be the cause for differences between you taking about some things vs others.

Might've forgotten the cocaine was the topic.

Pick 'or whatever' for cocaine in this instance.

@Lensflare An interesting thing to know.

'Nobody calls me 'chicken''.

As made famous by:

OS setup.

There's a lot... one of them is staying at home over going out to party, but it's been true for me since I was 23 or so.

Just to add another possibility:

Could be a sex thing.

There are things that when said by the same sex, are kinda normal-sounding, whereas when they come from the opposite sex may be seen as an attempt at flirting or whatever.

Confirming what @retoor said.

I'm a lurker, there.

The tab w/ snek is often in the background, but if I hear a barrage of the high-pitched 'ping' sound, I'll take a look to see what the commotion is about.

Otherwise I will engage in a conversation every now && then.

@Demolishun Looking at this video, I'm reminded of the many * cough * intelligent women that said they'd prefer encountering a random bear over a random man in a forest.

I'm watching a lot of the whatever podcast lately, e.g.:

https://youtube.com/watch/...

&& I see a lot of that type of thinking, which is fucking insane.

!My kind of music, but the visuals are strangely fascinating.

> 'small lady in a land of gnome-like giants. feed sushi and meth'.

This made me LOL.

Too bad. I remember her from 'House' && Weeds.

@retoor > 'first one failed, it was a nightly build anyway'.

It's always a good idea to have backups in case of fatal errors && such ;-) .

Damn. I've enjoyed the guy's acting in 'Under Suspicion'.

@retoor Ditto.

Also, I fucking hate when people release new versions of things naming them exactly like something from the past, for then things become very confusing.

Happened w/ Prince Of Persia, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil... probably some / many more franchises.

@jestdotty Ah. Sounds like you're watching the 'Resident Evil (2022)' then?

https://imdb.com/title/tt9660182/ .

Got wind of this one a while back, but haven't watched it, yet.

While I will watch it, eventually, black Wesker is just unrealistic.

@jestdotty I've been instructed by my boss on numerous occasions to 'rephrase' my messages because he saw them as !nice enough.

He keeps interpreting them /* && he sucks at it. */ whereas he should just take my messages at face value.

Dumb fucker.

@jestdotty I'm very curious about which RE it was - there were a lot of them:

- Resident Evil (2002),

- Resident Evil Apocalypse (2004),

- Resident Evil Extinction (2007),

- Resident Evil Afterlife (2010),

- Resident Evil Retribution (2012),

- Resident Evil The Final Chapter (2016),

- Resident Evil Degeneration (2008),

- Resident Evil Damnation (2012),

- Resident Evil Vendetta (2017),

- Resident Evil Death Island (2023),

- Resident Evil Infinite Darkness (2021),

- Resident Evil Welcome To Raccoon City (2021).

@BordedDev Oh, I'm sure it was pure curiosity / for educational purposes, only.

Definitely no malice there.

/jk

I remember that 'Wrong Number' bit. Just priceless.

The guy also has a cool video about harassing a spammer - was fun to watch.

Hey, @Ragnar you had four kids or something like that.

Care to weigh in on the conversation?

@retoor Sure. I was just entertaining the idea that you might've made a new friend instead of making a typo, is all.

@retoor Only to a degree, from what I can personally observe.
