Why buttplug for tachyons?

Super Mario Bros on the NES came in at 31 kB, and it was a bit more of a game. 100 kB for Flappy Bird isn’t all that impressive.

Do Iceland still do Official Greggs Products in their freezer section? Steak bakes made at home never tasted quite the same as they do off of the tray of random temperature in the shops, but sometimes that’s an itch that needs scratching.

Get a few bottles of suspiciously-cheap no-brand spirits, a few cartons of fruit drink and a couple of bottles of carbonated beverages, empty the whole lot into the ‘punch’ bucket while the 50-piece snack food selections heats through in the oven, including a few genuine Greggs items as centrepieces? Am telling you, Iceland has everything you need to kickstart a very reasonably-priced house party.

Thanks for all the great work, squire - I know it’s a bit thankless. Let us know if the well’s running dry.

Note that bookmakers set their odds to minimise their own potential losses - if more bets are placed on a team, then they’ll reduce the odds. So this graph will be weighted towards the larger bets placed by supporters of the wealthier nations.

Still cool, tho.

Going to go out on a limb here, but I prefer the food from Greggs. Prefer the coffee, prefer the sandwiches, like a steak bake and all the other pastries. So the fact that it’s cheaper and you get served quicker too is an additional bonus.

They’re bullshit generators, essentially - it doesn’t matter to them whether they generate something that’s ‘true’ or not, as long as it’s plausible. Depends what you intend to use them for - if you want a throw-away image for a powerpoint slide that will only be looked at once for a few seconds, they’re ideal. They generate shit code and boring, pointless stories, so couldn’t recommend them for that.

If you’re a D&D GM that’s in need of quite a lot of ‘disposable’ material, they’re alright. Image of a bad guy that you can then work into the story? Great. Names for every single Gnomish villager? Great. Creating intricate and interesting lore that brings your world alive? No, they are not actually intelligent and cannot do that - that’s the part that you provide.

At the moment, huge amounts of venture capitalist money is making these things much cheaper than their true cost. Can only imagine the price of them is going to go up a lot when that runs out. You might not be able to afford the subscription, but you’ll be in good company soon.

But will that stop me from rebinding it as my ‘compose’ key? Normally I use AltGr for that, but more modifier keys are always welcome…

There’s also the financial risk to be considered. A mainstream film release from 1970 might have been produced by fifty people, cast and crew combined. The crew for Barbie as per the image above was close to a thousand people. That’s expensive. Have to put in twenty times the ante to be in the game, and all the payoff is in established properties that you already know have an audience? It would be foolish to do otherwise.

Like you say, if people actual did what they said they wanted, and go and take a punt on the new stuff rather than going to watch the same-old, then it would be different. But you can’t complain about it when that’s what you spend your money on.
