<IllFlower> If you can't drink yourself into diabetic obesity with self-service soft drinks, you're clearly not at a real fast food joint.

<Kaliayev> if they had done, Alice, enraged bioware fans would've overrun the entire site. I am reliably informed that DA2 is worse than a thousand Hitlers
<AliceTensei> I wonder if there's a word for 1000 Hitlers. A Hitlernium.
<Miijhal> It's actually only worse than 10 Hitlers, though.
<Miijhal> A decahitler
<Kaliayev> a demi-Hitler plus a giga-Himmler
<Generality> What's the ratio of Hitlers to Himmlers?
<AliceTensei> Is there a tera-Goebbels?
<Miijhal> -search decahitler-
<Miijhal> "Did you mean /PicoHitler/?"
<Kaliayev> there is a tera-Heydrich, I believe
<Kaliayev> and a yotta-Bormann
<Generality> You guys need to settle on a unit.

<Rotty> poni, "civilization" means "city-dwelling". Without farming, you can't support cities.
<GMH> wait
<GMH> since when did civilization mean city-dwelling?
<Logopolis> GMH: He's No-True-Scotsmanning
<BonSequitur> GMH: Since Rottweiler decided that ethymology is the final arbitrer of word usage and meaning.
<ponicalica> GMH: I think "civilization" does in fact derive from the Latin word for "city".  But that doesn't mean shit.
<GMH> yeah?
<GMH> well, it's so excellent it's egregious!
<ponicalica> To pull out an old example I've used a bunch of times: AMBULANCES DO NOT WALK.
<BonSequitur> 'Civilization' <- Civitas
<Rotty> You can't have civilization without the civis.
<GMH> actually
<GMH> i can
<GMH> i only need "civi"

<Iverum> I dislike the UI for Steel Battalion, Barcode.
<Barcode> No, I mean, like, wht about it?
<Iverum> Oh, I mean the whole "peer out of this tiny window" bit.
<Barcode> man, that's the /best part/ of tankshit! the horrid visibility
* Nitya imagines Iverum standing in a submarine, critiquing the viewport UI

<Tzetzuooooo> It's true.  It's so annoying just having your dick spill everywhere.

<Nitya> as long as i'm complaining about tumblr what is the deal with "fandom blogs" jesus christ
<Nitya> you are not a fandom! you are a HUMAN BEING! i shout into the wind, spittle flying back into my face

<ColorPrinter> So in my dwarf fortress world there's a god depicted as an anchovy that once cursed a serpent woman and turned her into a were-giraffe.
<ColorPrinter> I can't even make that shit up.

<BonSequitur> What is up with this 'polyvore' thing, anyway?
<BonSequitur> It doesn't even have an ED page. I'm afraid to google.
<BonSequitur> Oh, it has nothing to do with voraphilia.
<BonSequitur> Some people are idiots when picking out names for websites.
<BonSequitur> I mean, really. Polyvore.
<BonSequitur> It's a fashion website.
<BonSequitur> What does it sound like?
<BonSequitur> A mailing list for people who are into furries giving birth to multiple twin furries and then eating them.

<IllFlower> Ha, so IE-tan apparently has a name - Inori Aizawa.
<ponicalica> the real question is: how long until Mozilla, Google, and Apple make their own?
<IllFlower> I'm imagining Jony Ive sitting down for one of those five-minute videos, except about a moe anthropomorphisation.
<IllFlower> "We removed all unnecessary lines, emphasising the core features of iTan that appeal to audiences." "Her boobs, right?" "Yes, yes."

<blamspam> I mean, I like fiction and all, but I never think to myself "Man it would be cool if X and Y fucked each other, I shall write about it in explicit and inaccurate detail"
