Doom, quake, and half Life aka the three big daddy franchises of fps all have the plot of "we made a portal, oh whoops here come nasty things pouring out of it, time to wreck them"

There's something about interdimentional gateways that makes for good blasty action.
They're not human so there's no moral quandary about shooting through crowds of them on the way to find their queen and eradicate their species, and they never were human so you're not limited to things that look and act somewhat human-like.
So that's why they keep him around.

I love stupid Swedish news. Decent translation, although I think "brakfis" is better translated as "a crashing fart" rather than a "stinking cheese". And the sole reason I know this offhand is due to translating Joyce's letters into Swedish for the world's dumbest avant-garde play ever conceived.

Stylites were hermits that lived on the top of huge-rear end columns who would be fed by other monks or laypeople, but the practice was mostly in Late Antiquity rather than the Medieval period and really only occurred in the Greek Orthodox / Near Eastern sphere of the world.

Roger Collins, in his Early Medieval Europe, tells us that in some cases two or more pillar saints of differing theological viewpoints could find themselves within calling distance of each other, and would argue with one another from their columns.

It's all of them. All code is terrible and every program is a tangled mess of gross hacks, badly organized structure, dependency on libraries that haven't been updated in 20 years, and prayer. The internet is accurately described as "always burning down all the time."
I have code in production with a comment that says "I'm the third person to work on this code. I can't get this part to work. If you're reading this, give it a shot and let me know at (my email) if you get it working."

I also left an easter egg in my code by defining "constant HAMPRINCE" but not using it for anything.

If the idea of a goon buying a truck and another obsessive goon traveling cross country to fix it up in exchange for a place to sleep, food, and booze interests you, you'll love it. If you're not interested in a drawn-out truck restoration drama that involves another vehicle spontaneously catching fire in the middle of a field and I won't spoil the ending for you, then it's not for you. If you want the short version, just sort by posts from the two people quoted there and skim the last few pages.

It's been picked apart so many times it's hard to believe image hosting managed to put it back together.

If I recall correctly there was other pictures and/or someone knew the people involved and he wasn't secretly pining for notepad girl and it was just a poorly timed photo. Or it wasn't. One of the two or it was a third option. Probably.
Having been the unofficial campus photographer for years, I've taken a lot of photos of vaguely important people that I would never let see the light of day. This is more awkward than all of them combined.

It means someone who is concerned with small details too much, a nitpicker. All idioms are a bit weird when you think about it. Screwing a pooch, as in loving a dog? Why does this mean to fail at something spectacuarly? What chain of events could lead someone to gently caress a dog unintentionally? Makes no sense!
Sometimes you're kneeling to get something under the couch while naked, and all of a sudden you feel two paws on your back and hear a sound like "schloop"

My pet theory is that the database and front end are in separate datacentres, just because it would be very on-brand.

constant HAMPRINCE is user name material
I got a grumpy lecture from our sysadmin at my last job because I had ADUC permissions and named my office computer "contanthamprince.[x].[y].edu" for remote desktop purposes and it took him a few minutes to figure out who the hell named their computer that. I shrugged and told him he should have known it was me, and I kept the name until the day I quit.

I know absolutely nothing about code and even to me, that seems odd.
Cryptic bullshit like that without documentation is a hallmark of a malicious piece of poo poo who knows that once they burn their bridges, it's far more costly to hire someone to figure out what the gently caress they were doing than it is to pay them consulting rates to explain what the gently caress they were doing in the first place. Tech-wise, Lowtax had absolutely no technical knowledge and Radium was a manipulative piece of poo poo who milked his old "friend" for all he could while pretending he was doing something productive.
