you lost the game

Heartbreaking: Canon has decided that your favourite character lives in New York City now

Perhaps this is an obnoxious take on my part, but video games should, above all things, prioritize the ability of being paused. At any point. Regardless of whether it's during a cutscene, a special animation, or a time-based puzzle. You never know when you're gonna get a phone call, or someone will need you in another room, or you get a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, or you hear your cat licking plastic, or whatever. Other entertainment mediums like books, movies, and music can be paused whenever you want. Why do some games not give you the same luxury??

I actually recommend everyone write for a rarepair once because it completely changes your relationship with fandom. Engagement stops being numbers and starts being names. You know who's going to show up. You recognize usernames. Someone disappears for a while and then comes back and you're like “OH MY GOD WELCOME HOME.” It's incredibly wholesome. It is also deeply inconvenient when all six of you simultaneously get writer's block-

fully sober in the club googling iliad full text

Trashed off my ass in the library with a hardback copy of the iliad

Fully awake during 12-hour-night shifts translating Iliad ancient text XD

you know he would just morph gorilla to open that jar.

I'm so bored of people pretending that using a stereotype is only bigoted if it's explicitly applied to all members of a marginalized group. "I didn't say all Jews are greedy whiny emasculated parasites who control the government with their money, I just said Zionists are." Guys.

Help I noclipped into the Backrooms and now I’m being chased through endless liminal space by a figure in black asking if I’m Jewish

Thats just the backrooms chabad house. They'll even do that to some of the entities there.

what a privilege it is to come home to a little animal that loves you like you're their whole world.

i must say, i am a huge fan of when a book is in the middle of a very exciting plot containing many interesting problems when out of nowhere for a few pages it's like, "hey by the way, real quick, here's a detailed explanation of the city's water filtration system! i'm telling you this for a reason and you should worry about it. anyway! haha okay back to the plot" and you just get to be Scared for a while

I don't need the chatgpt random algorithm to write emails for me because I already have a custom and 100% flawless algorithm called "writing the exact same three emails with the names changed"

"but op I work in an office I have to write way more emails than you" well that's your fault for working in an office i got nothing to do with that

to everyone who wants help with emails: go through the notes of this post. there are ideas I've never thought of and plenty of scripts for all kinds of situations/jobs

The Scholomance books are like if El spent book one loading guns and lining them up on the table in front of you, then continued doing so for most of book two

Another important addendum from @the-green-divine: “Midway through book one, El finishes loading a gun and immediately fires it at something behind you. This triggers a Rube Goldberg machine that will finish loading a different gun in book two. That gun doesn’t get fired until book three”
