Facebook engineer turns 5-year-olds into hackers by pickleskid26in HackBloc

I would no more urge everyone to learn programming than I would urge everyone to learn plumbing.

Man I would love to know how to do that, just like I would love to know how to code.

Google no longer the company I loved? by ahronzombiin googleplus

[–]BlueJoshi -2 points-1 points ago

Yeah but a lot of people know my as Joshi. Some know me as RAMPARDOS. A few people on the Internet call me Cobalt.

To these people, which match or exceed the number of people who know me as "Joseph," my full name is going to mean nothing. Way to make it harder for me to socialise, Google!

(Okay, this is kind of a moot point with me, as Google actually DID let me set my first name as "Joshi." But my pal glod isn't that lucky.)

Hussie needs help setting up a subreddit! by tinaunin homestuck

[–]BlueJoshi 3 points4 points ago

Hussie asked for people who knew how reddit works to either set up a place where he can answer questions or inform him how.

The thing is, that place already exists: Right here.

[–]BlueJoshi 8 points9 points ago

Ahh, I see. So he's doing a thing where we can ask him (almost?) anything, but not an AMA.

Okay then.

[–]BlueJoshi 4 points5 points ago

Cool, way to no one suggest he just post in here or anything. It's not like that wouldn't have worked just fine. Now I guess I have another subreddit that I'll need to check.

Comic: forcing social in gaming by icameforthesnacksin gaming

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

I just double checked, my friend has played Portal 2 for 16 hours in the last two weeks, 114.2 hours overall. Her most recent achievement is "Friends List With Benefits," unlocked on July 7th of last year. She only has 6 more to go!

So, everything in the comic is possible (Keep in mind, Steam also tells me about games my pals have bought in it!), although the last one is significantly less likely to be embarrassing. ;P

But Hobbes consistently manages to do things that impact the real world. He tackles Calvin when he gets home. He ties Calvin to a chair, or cuts his hair. He does Calvin's homework.
Heck, in the example I was citing above, Hobbes from 6:30 and Hobbes from 8:30 team up to do the assignment while 6:30 and 8:30 Calvin go to 7:30 to try to force the Calvin of that time period to do the assignment.

The reality of Hobbes is left pretty ambiguous.

Also, Steam totally tells people when I'm doing things and I don't know how to turn that off.

What I hoped the Battleship movie would be like. by Aaronmcomin funny

[–]BlueJoshi 1 point2 points ago

And Battleship has aliens! Aliens are cool.

[–]BlueJoshi 57 points58 points ago

Comics are funny coz they address real life issues, and real problems that actually occur.

Yeah, I liked Calvin & Hobbes because my stuffed tiger comes alive in my presence and helps me travel to the future in a cardboard box so I can just get my homework without actually doing it.

Further proof of how far behind the times K-mart is by cjojojoin gaming

I always wondered how they figured out where all the kids lived.

Nintendo Power subscriptions?

Totally Uncool, Cracked. by DragnKingin mylittlepony

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

Generally I find that the people who go out of their way to show that they're fans of something, the people who are so ready to apply labels, are the most likely to be obnoxious.

Totally Uncool, Cracked. by DragnKingin mylittlepony

[–]BlueJoshi 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, but in this case the vocal minority is REALLY vocal, and also a pretty sizable minority

A matter of time by izanoslayerin mylittlepony

Worth noting is that all of those films represent a new continuity.

So if MLP became part of this trend, it wouldn't be a FiM movie.

Warning to you gamers who get GameInformer through Gamestop's PowerUp program! Things are changing and we've been instructed not to tell you unless you ask! by GameStoppopotamusin gaming

Got hired in October, got a Comdata card. Our new ASM got hired like 4 weeks ago and he was issued one, too.

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

Word was handed down from on-high yesterday that we lowly gamestop employees are supposed to push the digital subscriptions.

Where have you been? They started doin' this like a month ago.

Fuck the rules, though, I'm still tellin' everyone.

$220 Million Battleship Flop Sinks Not Only Universal Pictures, But Activision Game by zakislamin Games

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

Well, sure! But friendly doesn't always equate to "everyone uses downvotes correctly"

But yeah, I would think this was anywhere on reddit with the way people are doling out downvotes to my opinions.

What colour should you paint rooms? by thelcusiin LifeProTips

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure how Azure could be a separate colour.

I mean, like, at best, it's part of cyan, but it's definitely not its own thing. It's even less its own thing than indigo.

Equestria, coinage, and the role of dragons. by AdjutantStormyin TheoryOfPony

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

I don't see money much in the real world outside of purchases being made, yet it's pretty clearly not "uncommon"

Any currency that isn't common is not a good currency, and an easier to obtain alternative will eventually replace it.

A Ditto, Mew, and Mewtwo walk into a cave... by JohhnyDamagein pokemon

[–]BlueJoshi -1 points0 points ago

It's definitely not mind blowing to most of the pokemon fandom :P That little piece of fan-theory has been floating around for a while.

It constitutes a loss of credibility to me because it's not a "did you know" thing. It's not any sort of video game fact. It's a few pieces of conjecture that are based more on "hey wouldn't this be cool" than anything actually in the game.It's pure fanon speculation, and nothing more.

Crazy rumor: Retro Studios to develop Metroid/Star Fox crossover? by Mofaxin nintendo

[–]BlueJoshi 0 points1 point ago

I dunno, that seems kinda weird.

Like, it legit sounds like two games that have just been sorta mashed together. It could prolly work if you have a "Fox's game" and "Samus' game," but switching between the two, with both demonstrating very different playstyles and atmospheres, sounds kinda.. ehhhh.

Don't get me wrong, if anyone can do this, I think Retro could. And if this does happen, I'd buy it in a second just for Star Fox. But it doesn't sound like the best thing.

Although, switching between on-rails flight stuff and ground-based segments, with lots of dialogue and conversation during the Star Fox half, at least? Are you sure this isn't a Kid Icarus Uprising sequel? ;>
