no one i love like that old bitch elder

dress up is one of the most important pillars of gameplay that is often ignored by game developers to disasterous results

Took me years to understand that boredom is not the enemy of writing. It is the raw material. Every good idea i have ever had arrived during a walk with no podcast, a train with no phone, a shower where i just stood there. The moment i fill every silence with content i stop generating anything of my own. I am just processing other people's thoughts instead of having mine. The empty space is where the work comes from. Protecting the empty space is the actual job.

the phrase really should be "eat your cake and have it too" im with the unabomber on this one

Aromanticism does not fit into a lot of people's framework for happiness, and a lot of people have no interest in adjusting that framework beyond adding "but it's okay if people choose to be less happy" next to an asterisk.

the most sexual emotion a man can feel is fear

Now why would Tumblr user twinktorturer say something like this

thinking (-1) about characters is so fun gu(-1)ys trust

yeah I'm an airship mechanic. I got that big ass wrench and the boots that are too big, but also, and this is important, goggles I do not use correctly

classic forehead protector goggles

I follow the "leave nothing but footprints take nothing but photos" rule of state/national parks yeah because conservation. But also because when I was 11 i read a short story about a girl who went to a museum and stole a bandage flake off a mummy on display with the mentality of "im just one person one piece won't be missed" then at night she was visited by the mummy and it plucked a single hair from her head and then the next night a different mummy took another hair and she realized that there were only so many pieces to her before there would be nothing left and that story was forever wedged in my brain. Anyways leave cool rocks where you find them or the mummies will get you

I don't know what else I expected him to do.

Like yeah I know it’s wild but having narcissistic personality disorder or low empathy isn’t actually worse than or equal to being a straight up asshole, it’s like your choices and actions dictate who you are more than the qualities you’re born with or something

like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.

im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage

I know that the reason that young entrepreneurs and young artists are often celebrated is to show kids and young adults that they’re not too young to start following their dreams but I think it often has the unintended side effect of making you go “Man, I haven’t even started an international business yet. I’m a failure.” when you’re like twelve.

I remember when I was a kid learning about a kid my age that was already studying to be a surgeon or something and I think that story was meant to make me feel inspired but instead it just made me feel like “Man, I’m eight years old and I’m not even in med school what am I even doing with my life 😔”

A 16 year old kid recently passed the bar exam in California, becoming the youngest person in the history of the state to do so, and my weird first thought was “man I haven’t even passed the bar exam and I’m 27😔” <-does not intend to ever take the bar exam

Galaxies are yurinating...

don't say it like that
