Dune or Hyperion
  • I loved Hyperion, I'm thinking about rereading it. The original Dune has been my favorite since I was 13 years old. I'm going to get flayed alive for saying this, but I honestly enjoyed most of the prequels his son and Kevin J. Anderson wrote.

    Good singleplayer games without any story?
  • Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. There is a small background storyline that you can choose to follow, or completely ignore. When I play, I create a story in my head.

    How many people have “been on TV”
  • I was on a regional kid's show as an on-screen audience member, 37 years ago, called Ramblin Rod. My life has been forever changed.

    Lazy Motherfu-
  • I worked apartment management for years, and this image is a drop in a bucket to some of the horrors I've seen in dumpster areas. All it would take is one person leaving their garbage on the side like this, usually a kid that couldn't lift the lid, and every single person after, like a sheep, followed suit. They assumed that the dumpster was full because garbage was piled in front.

    What's the worst road you've ever had to drive through?
  • The road to Hana on Maui, in the dark, in the rain, with the wipers not working that great. Every hundred feet is a hairpin turn or a one-way bridge. The locals drive it at like 80 mph. Definitely an adventure.

    Why is it so much more amusing to watch someone play a video game than it is to play the game itself?
  • I'm 40, and I can't stand watching someone else play a game. Even when my kids are playing, I'm like, dude, you're doing wrong, gimme the controller. The very thought of watching a "professional" play on YouTube or whatever, irritates me.

    Thought experiment for piracy
  • Imagine owning a farm where you grow the same crop as your neighbor's farm, the only difference is that you're using natural seeds, but your neighbor is using genetically modified seeds that were licensed from a mega corp. Wind comes along and your neighbor's plants cross pollinate with yours, you know, nature being nature. Guess what, you're now being sued by the mega corp for stealing their IPO.
