A jeopardy question: "pedants argue about whether this verb should be used as a synonym of its 7-letter dictionary neighbor compose."

The answer is comprise, which I was complaining about pedantically in the post to which Ken Jennings made the below reply.

The first brand-new MST3K episode STING OF DEATH is available right now, immediately, at once, other words to indicate that concept! If you missed it in movie theaters, now’s your chance. You can also order a package of this plus the three next eps in various formats, as they come out. Enjoy!

Been working on Chisel (3D CSG level editor) again now and then. I improved the quality of the CSG implementation a lot using uses exact floating point arithmetic. All black mesa maps can be now imported w/o errors. Chisel now also has 'water' brushes

how is this not satire?

do you fear that a movement too closely associated with a wave of nostalgia will dissipate once its aesthetic/surface elements cycle out of popularity?

Checking out the graphics card Sierra On-Line ever sold: the Screamin' 3D! That alone makes it a notable oddity, but it's also a Rendition Verite V1000, which can provide some awesome results!...and a slew of shortcomings and mid-90s quirkiness
