Make like a banana and leave.

Rickyisms are modern day malapropisms, named for Mrs Malaprop from the 1775 play The Rivals by Sheridan, rather than malaphors.

The difference being a malaphor is a mixed up idiom like the examples in the post and a malapropism is substituting a word in a common saying or idiom for a similar sounding one. For example, "finding an escape goat" or "I resemble that remark".

The reboot of Succession in 20 years is going to be wild.

Correct, it's also the birth of insurance. People would pay a subscription style fee to the fire brigade so their house would be protected in case of a fire.

It's something satirised in The Colour of Magic, the first Discworld novel.

Looks like a bad case of Graft Vs Host he's got there.

COD , GTA and Destiny 2 compatability was killed by the developers, not by Linux. VR (ignoring that it's a gimmick which is going to die soon enough) works fine.

"Free speech"

I've had it wishlisted for a while because the trailers and screenshots look fantastic. Unsure if the sprawling scope will result in anything ever playable.

My hope is for something akin to a Mount & Blade style RPG but who knows of it'll ever see the light of day.

Share and enjoy,

Share and enjoy,

Journey through life,

With your plastic boy,

Or girl by your side,

Let your pal be your guide,

And when it breaks down,

Or starts to annoy,

Or grinds when it moves,

And gives you no joy,

Cause it's eaten your hat,

Or had sex with your cat,

Bled oil on your floor,

Or ripped off your door,

And it gets to the point,

You can't stand anymore,

Bring it to us, We won't give a fig.

We'll tell you,

Go stick your head in a pig
