there should be like a million at the thrift shop

oh, before I forget:
all the hogwarts houses are dactyls

HUF-fle-puff
GRIFF-in-door
SLY-ther-in
RA-ven-claw

when the time comes to use this information, you will know

Morticia! That's dactyls. Mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah!

apps that launch at startup by default: who the FUCK do you think you are?

The driver for my mouse launches at startup and then hides itself (or closes itself after injection? I dunno) but I get mad EVERY TIME I SEE IT BOUNCING IN THE DOCK before I remember what it is.

The only thing that should launch at startup is Finder and even that's on the edge of a fine line.

so, Batman Beyond had this scene where Talia corrects Terry's pronunciation of R'as al Ghul
[u2]TULYXGYz02c[/u2]
which they stuck to in the Arkham games, and it kind of makes the Nolanverse look adorably naive for just pronouncing it how it looks after being transliterated to the roman alphabet

but if you actually look it up I'm pretty sure they're fuckin... both wrong? and the corrected form from the cartoon is actually more wrong?

I don't want to nerd out on the articulatory phonetics because nobody else cares but if you don't believe me you can go to google translate and press the lil speaker button to hear a robot say it

the whole thing sounds more like "r-ets-awlo-go-a-lay"

and I mean, okay, the "r'as" part is maybe debatable, because when you're anglicizing of course you make it so it rolls off the tongue better, and glottal stops tend to be allophonous with "t" in english and skipped over otherwise blah blah blah shut up slurpee, but the "al ghul" part is literally just replacing it with an english cognate for want of giving a shit. how ya doin, folks, Al Ghoul here from Big Al Ghoul's corpse-eating emporium

I would actually look up actual sanskrit/arabic more than trust Google's robovoice, given how bad it is for russian and english but also if he really is some immortal demon lad then the pronunciation is probably from an older dialect of the language i'm sure dc did all the research on this and it checks out 100%



I couldn't find any other languages with that alphabet that Google's TTS supports but also that because dc does their research

... okay so the glottal stop is actually not present in the Hebrew and Aramaic cognates, and they also contain a voiceless domed palato-alveolar sibilant, so it's possible that these features are holdovers from a deprecated proto-semitic common ancestor which makes the thing that you just said... possible... but, fuck you anyway? it's slurpeeclock, bitch.

That's like a Slurpeetweet at best. I subscribed for Slurpeeposts.

also I really hate dc and any little thing they do wrong is okay in my book

unrelated:
I like to visit pornmd's live feed of shit people are searching for on pornmd when I need a laugh, and it never disappoints


"grandpa spank" and "bonus hole" are the usual amusing weirdness but I fuckng lost it at "straight tony"

'eyyy I'm fricken Straight Tony over heah! whoa, a cock to suck? only in New York bay-BEE! gabagool! halghagahlhgaghahgaghl

Wait a minute, I know Straight Tony. He's an actor in gay porn? Boy, you think you know people.

I'm gonna be honest after all these years, I've been using my computer's text-to-speech on the forums because I never learned how to read. It's why I was never on Discord much (having to copy/paste into TextEdit before I can tell it to read) and why I came to the Clock Crew (your cartoons make it seem like you all sound like the computer voice anyway) and normally I can just get away with not reading images but that last one


that was in a slurpeepost









i can't keep it up any longer

I have searched for the post about someone (Slurpee?) singing along to that and hitting the WHOOOOOOOA wrong and having a coughing fit



it's like a really good porn you try to find a few years later. You know it's only going to make you feel good one more time but the journey is fun even as the odds approach infinity

okay i found it in like half a second this time and it was not as interesting as I remembered

eeeuuuUUUUUUGHHHHHH NINTENDO STOP HIRING GODDAMN CAMELOT AND NDCUBE TO MAKE YOUR FUCKING GAMES, FUCK.

smash and mario kart 8 and splatoon are so fucking good, so the people buying turds like mario tennis u and animal crossing party are naive souls not checking metacritic and just buying nintendo properties out of faith and good will
it's actually mean IT IS AN IMMORAL ACT to let camelot and ndcube keep developing games. at least team ninja is comfortably mediocre WHEN THE FUCK WAS THE LAST GOOD CAMELOT GAME WHEN HAS NDCUBE EVER MADE ANYTHING WORTH PLAYING. STOP FUCKING HIRING THEM I HATE THEM SO MUCH

Speaking of that page, this is painfully true two years later and I want/am worried about the next Mario Party. I want a Mario Party for Switch, but

Steam is a democracy

in the same way that love is a battlefield. Not a literal democracy.

Steam is like how after activision was founded the floodgates for third party development flew open and the 2600 library was flush with barely playable at best shit that nobody wanted and nobody bought except Walmart isn’t involved and you don’t actually own anything

Also half life 3 is the new DNF
