The Levy fam is pretty solid
Thank you! I KNEW I knew it, but it just was not coming to me.
What score is that from in #5 ?
I think my two fondest multiplayer game memories are never-ending Baal runs in D2 and late nights playing Left 4 Dead with a couple friends. That game was the exact right balance of chaos, strategy, and skill and has never been rivaled in terms of enjoyment by any other online games I've played.
19* years (almost)
Still have mine! Complete with Super Mario Land, Super Mario Bros 2, Home Alone 2, Amazing Penguin, Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon Blue, and Quest for Camelot (although I'm only just now realizing that it was a GB Color game, I missed out on so much aesthetic!). Home Alone 2 still intimidates me, I couldn't ever get past those stupid vacuum cleaners. Maybe adult me can do it though...
Who tf doesn't set a print area?!
Yeah probably. IDK though I don't have my headphones in.
It looks like there was “Blue Harvest”, “Something, Something, Dark Side”, and “It’s a Trap!”, although I can’t remember enough about them to recall whether the last one was phoned in or not. But they at least made it!
Wasn't it the entirety of the original Trilogy? Albeit a slightly abridged version
I believe by law you would be in the right if you were to use whatever means you have at your disposal to defend this person against their kidnapping. However, as people above have mentioned, that almost certainly doesn't matter. You'll be met with immediate return fire (assuming these asshats are also carrying) and no regard for what "laws" are or used to be. But like... there were only a couple of them, and a hell of a lot more of us.
But not quite as much gravitas
'The Relic' is the place to start for the Pendergast series. It definitely is somewhat hard to nail down the order (unless you were buying/reading AS they were being released, and even then some came out at the same time), but the general consensus is listed here: https://mysterysequels.com/pendergast-novels-in-order
Another phenomenal series is the Pendergast collection by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Think Sherlock Holmes but... different somehow? Spans like 25 or so books so far (probably more tbh) with interconnected characters and story arcs, with each novel having a different core plot/focus. Absolutely love them.
I haven't read them recently, so hopefully my memory serves me well, but I LOVED a series called the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E Feist. A wonderful blend of fantasy and pseudo-political/wartime drama in a medieval-ish setting. It was 7 books when I read it (2008/2009 ish), but I believe there have been a handful published since then as well.
Paris' Pirates of the Caribbean is so much cooler than either one stateside. And they have a giant Alice in Wonderland hedge maze!! If I didn't already live inside the dumpster fire, I'd probably skip the visit as well.
That's... an incredible approach. I cannot ever get myself to deviate from my day 1 hellevator, no matter how many times I convince myself to shake things up.
"Twinkling Lights" IS what was playing in #46 though, which I also wanted to know, so thank you!!
Finally found it, it's called "Paw Friend" by Honobono (?), looks like just free BGM. I was hoping it was from a video game or something!
What is the music from in #49 ? Whatever it is sounds cozy AF and I want to be a part of it
What is the music in #46 ? It's so familiar, but isn't coming to me
Here's the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3r1H9o8Yzs&t
I mean, it's still just shorts under a skirt, I'm sure she'll be fine.
That one, and the 'Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling' one are both absolutely wild. "Patriotic Education"? Really?? https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-radical-indoctrination-in-k-12-schooling/

Honest question: What makes someone specifically a DEI hire, from a record-keeping perspective? I know that various initiatives require/incentivize diversity by having an entity meet a percentage threshold of employees that fit within whatever categories, but when they're hired the individuals aren't stamped with a "this one was only hired for DEI" tag, are they? I suppose the obvious answer would be "it doesn't matter, they're all DEI" - but I'm just hoping that's not the case.
Full text of the order here - I highly recommend reading through it all, it's a lot worse than just the memes! https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/
It IS a lunchbox, just maybe not your type of lunch
