Homer Simpson Disease is a term I just made up but it can mean many things to many people..... I have Teen Titans Go on the TV as background noise. I heard Robin exclaim, "Crime Alert!" and for whatever reason, my mind went to "I'll crime your alert." I do this in my head all the goddamn time with stuff I randomly hear on TV when I'm not really paying attention. I don't know why. I guess for me one of the most defining moments of The Simpsons was when Lisa said to Homer, "I need to practice my saxophone!" And Homer goes "I'll practice you!" And Lisa goes, "You'll practice me? What does that even mean?" Not really one of my favorite moments but it's apparently drilled into my subconsciousness. I think there were other moments of similar Homer's dialogue that my weird formula more closely mirrors. Anyone else have any Homer Simpson Diseases?

Dang. I read 1984 as part of HS required reading. I hated it. The entire book was boring except the chapter about Room 101 but I still hated that chapter because it just seemed fucked up to me. And I hated the ending too.

I'm not so sure it's about fanboyism as it is about a few MASSIVELY popular / incredible games that saved the sinking ship. Ocarina of Time, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Goldeneye.... I always hated Goldeneye but I'm pretty sure I'm alone in that.... Ocarina of Time was a masterpiece and Smash Bros is my fav multi player game of all time (never played any of its sequels, so if it was ever improved upon I wouldn't know). I think it was a Pat the NES Punk vid I was watching that pointed out that like every other fucking third party game on N64 was a shitty racing game. And I can't refute that. There were a ton. And why make a bunch of shitty "normal" racing games when you got FUCKING MARIO KART? My own personal biggest gripe with the N64 though was no follow-up to the incredible Super Metroid.

I thought that was really underrated. I beat it and enjoyed all the way through, for the most part (the exception being that part where you're carrying some concoction that blows up on you if you so much nudge anything other than air. Fuck that part).

For once me and sawdy are on the same wavelength.

Damn, I was all set to reply, "WE ARE THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY..... NIGH!"

Now that's a dream job I'd go to grad school for.

I mean, I was playing FFIV (aka II) on my SNES before I was even 10 years old...

OH @lupin_bebop here's something I ran into with my new laptop I think you'll have an answer for: My phone, the same one described above on iOS 12.5.4, is not recognized on the Music app on this new laptop. It was never a problem on my old one. This new laptop only has USB-C ports, as opposed to USB-A, and I don't have a lightning-USB-C cable yet so I got a USB-C-multi port (including USB-A) adapter that I use to plug my phone into my comp. I was wondering if Music doesn't recognized my phone because It's being run through USB-A to the USB-C converter to my laptop. But the thing with it is, my computer recognizes it enough to charge it.

My old (borked) MacBook actually is a MacBook Pro, I didn't even bother taking it into to get it repaired because I've had this same issue with multiple laptops in the past (other than this one, I believe all the others were Dells) and everytime I was told the same thing: It's so expensive to replace the screen, it's not even worth it. Just buy a new comp. So I preemptively did that. If my issue can be solved with the cost being much lower than the price of the new MacBook, that kinda brings me down, but at the same time, I have a feeling I'm going to like having 2x the RAM and 4x the hard drive space, so it's whatever. I guess at the very least I could always take the old one in to the Apple Store and have them quote me on a repair, and if it's worth it I have a backup.

Fucking Stilgar, how do you work?

I hope that's true.

I've been working night shift for close to three years, I love it.

I already bought the replacement MacBook today. But even if I didn’t I don’t trust myself with tools. For example I don’t work on my guitars. Anything beyond a string change I take it to a tech.

Your reason for them not using "nine" is honestly kind of stupid. Your reason for them not using a word like Vista is a very good point though.

Hope as in "Every time I think the Republican Party has hit rock bottom, I think they can't possibly get any more vile, right?" And NOT be proven wrong.

iPhone 6. And yes the jail screen is on the MacBook.

I use GarageBand on the comp, not the phone. As for the phone I'm on my dad's family plan which is on AT&T.... I have no idea if I can get an android and continue to be on his plan. I have no real desire to switch phone brands though. I just need a new phone cuz this one's ancient. As for strongly recommending me not to give Apple my business.... Too late.

Well taken the question literally the most romantic to me would be "breasts" but since we're trying to be humorous, I tried to make it humorous but somewhat romantic..... I just generally call them boobs or titties..... Marvelous mounds of flesh? I ain't gonna beat katya_hiki though.

I'm just bored.

Hell, I just had ANOTHER realization on this topic. Why didn't they just use a random word like they did with Vista?

You know how Windows 10 is really just Windows 9, but they skipped 9, because deep in the Windows code calling it Windows 9 would make it think it was from the 90s (Win 95, 98), so they just skipped over 9 to avoid that problem? Why didn't they just spell it Windows IX or Windows Nine?
