Well, you're not going to believe this but there are temporary marriage contracts available that can be as short as an hour.

Why do people need an hour long marriage? Beats me...

It's natural that we gravitate towards familiarity.

Case in point, how some actors always seem to play the same character, no matter which movie they're in.

Go search up fighters like rampage Jackson or Kevin Randleman who regularly out muscled the very best grapplers, doing things like powerbombing their way out of submissions, then think how much smaller they are than a gorilla. Grappler is just as dead as a Boxer, Muay Thai fighter, or Karateka.

True story. Am a controls engineer. I program stuff like the production processes for pharmaceuticals, F&B, etc.

I come from a time where most games were single player you couldn't pay to win. Not all games had cheat codes.

What we did have were memory/hex editors, game files, .ini stuff.

With what little instructions you could find online, you had to dig around and figure out where to find stuff and how to edit them so you got unlimited gold or super powerful equipment, etc and not crash the game at the same time.

Little did I know, this built my foundations for controls programming and troubleshooting. There are so many parallels like using memory editors is so similar to our debugging software where we want to find individual parameters that aren't behaving or communicating properly.

Not my OC. Just wanted to bring attention to a little underated comic strip. Great artwork. Different tone and topic to what's commonly posted here. Enjoy.
