The friggin' dogs in Resident Evil.

I have a kind of funny story about that. I was too young to be playing RE when it came out, but that didn't stop me from sneaking it out of my dad's collection of grownup games to try it anyway.

So there's this well known jump scare, probably in the first fifteen minutes as you say where you're running down a hallway and suddenly some dogs jump through these glass windows. I screamed, fumbled the controller, and was eaten by dogs. Might have been the first jump scare of my life.

So I hadn't hit a save point, so you have to start the game over. So I decide to just leave the mansion through the front door instead of going out that way. And you get a cutscene where a dog jumps through the door and you have to wrestle it away.

I still haven't played the game since.

But my wife and I are a big fan of the series, so eventually we decided to marathon them on the condition that she plays RE1. She's playing the remake and goes into the room where the dogs jump through the windows and I'm holding my breath waiting for it to happen. Only it doesn't.

So I'm a little disappointed, but I figure it's a remake so maybe they're switching things up a bit and going to put the jump scare somewhere else in the mansion.

Sooner or later you have to backtrack through that corridor though, and on like the third time going through this "safe" corridor the dogs jump through the window. She screams, fumbles the controller, and is eaten by dogs.

Seven-year-old me was vindicated that my adult wife also got punked and I'm not alone.

It's always fun when a relative admits they don't care about your child's safety.

Wait a minute, that's not the points inspector...

I know it's a fun, goofy space comedy, but I cried the last time I saw it.

My guy stopped growing them and raised turtles instead,

I wish my resume looked that good.

Nah, in the future we'll have Space Force and no OSHA

I think you thinking people are lazy for not typing the way you do says more about you than it does about them ;)

You don't need to use a period on the internet if it's the end of a line. The line break signals the end of the sentence, unless maybe they trailed off in

The kill command allows you to specify which type of kill signal you want to send. -9 sends signal 9 or SIGKILL, and we're sending it to pid 1.

That would force kill systemd, which I just have to assume will send your computer to a crashing halt.

The echo command is writing "c" to a file at /proc/sysrq-trigger which I don't really know how it works but this suggests you'll "crash the system without first unmounting file systems or syncing disks attached to the system."

I haven't installed fuck so I'm not sure how that works

I worked retail in consumer electronics when the PS3 was new and blu-ray was just taking off.

As I recall, the PS3 was stupidly expensive when it came out, but after a couple years the hype died down and the price dropped. It was still more expensive than a standalone blu-ray player, but sometimes you might talk someone into buying a playstation instead of the player.

At the time it was pretty cool that the PS3 was an all-in-one entertainment centre. A lot of families had the "computer room" plus half a dozen devices plugged into their TV. The PS3 really combined a lot of them into a single package. Families could monitor their kids' youtube usage because now it was in the living room, cable/power management became a lot easier, and you could still watch the new movies on it.

I'm nostalgic for the PS3, so I'm sure I'm looking at the past with rose-coloured glasses. All the same, I'm saddened by the PS5. It seems Sony's really pushing away from what made their devices great. Instead of offering the user more choice it seems they're trying to trap them in their own commercial ecosystem.

A hammer is beginner friendly, but learning to use a hammer doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to build a house with it.

I will not eat green eggs for fun,

If you try, I'll feed you gun.

The warning shots you have ignored,

Time to send you to your lord
