That's reasonable. Might time the pickup right before release then

Okay, that's good info. I was so excited to see it, I almost reflex-bought in but I wanted some info kn what was even in the game.

Seems like I'll wait a bit longer. But 30 bucks for the full game seems surprisingly low.

Wait... I'm an alpha male?

Was so packed with toppings, I assumed it was a pork belly 'salad'.

Feels like an honorable site would make the uploader aware of this and offer a checkbox or something to do it for you.

I'm gonna need all the context, not just some

To continue the joke dissection discourse:

That whole scenario is predicated on a deeper background to the "characters" that we cannot assume. However, though I don't agree with it, I'll proceed under the assumption that these two characters have the level of interiority you prescribe them.

Responding to the "humor's subversion of expectations" bit: I get that, which is why I was initially confused/unsatisfied. My expectation was a crude/debauched way of interacting with books. "I'm gonna dogear the pages.", "I creased the book's spine.", etc. What I got felt like a non-sequitur that was a step or two above "* holds up spork *". (I guess people liked that type of joke back then too).

A more nuanced interpretation of the joke than is apparent requires so much relatively heavy-lifting from the audience and/or for the audience to work backward from the decision that "the joke must be competent/fulfilling".

But that's not talking dirty. Talking dirty is crude (and sexual). The "Me" is describe some cozy, homebody fantasy.

Making it crude would be going to mom-and-pop bookshop that was retrofitted to sell physical copies of Amazon self-publishers.

The problem is your bathroom timeline just changed. That's a face of consternation because a 1 minute excursion has turned into at least 5 minutes.

This chart is for sitting to pee.

Well, maybe let a few more of them get caught up before we make those changes.

That only really holds if you somehow didn't know the comm/bathroom was occupied.

Unless you the type of person who'd ignore the rather strong, social signs that the people in both the comm/bathroom don't want you to join them when they're in there. In which case...weird.

You might peek into an open bathroom by mistake but you back away and make a note for the future.
