A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."

Ominous bird valentines.

I felt my first playthrough (which was just the standard custom character) ended up feeling kind of empty in terms of being able to define who my character was. My background would occasionally give me conversation options, but they never felt impactful or revealing to what I had in my head.

Dark Urge is the game I wanted to be playing — it's in direct conversation with the protagonist of the original games. And you get a more fully fleshed out story as a result, because of the unique dialogue and stuff for your background.

I get it, it's a sequel to a decades old game and you have to find your audience anew, but the degree to which it didn't seem to want to be a Baldur's Gate game was very frustrating to me. Learning that Dark Urge was the actual game I wanted to be playing halfway through had me so mad.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

It’s a punny tag reference.

It's ultimately the weakest of the high school Shakespeare adaptations (which is a shame, because Twelfth Night is great), but it's a fun time.

They should just make The Batman Part II an NBC’s Kings reunion. Get Ian mcshane in there. Dylan baker. McCauley culkin. Allison Miller, Eamonn Walker, Wes Studi. Really go for broke

Met my girlfriend's family today and found out her brother plays D&D3.5. Immediately asked if he'd seen the module that stats out Saddam Hussein.

A screenshot from a question website. The question says "Anonymous asked in Pets › Dogs • 13 hours ago Is magic bad for dog? I'm working on slight of hand magic tricks and practice in my house a lot. Sometimes in front of dogs. Am I hurting their brains when I'm blowing their minds?"

I think about this a lot

This is art, this is the human experience

My favorite is Theatre of Blood, so possibly that, though it doesn't have any particular thematic stuff going on to support that.

One of the strangest experiences of my life was seeing Zootopia 2 with my son the morning after seeing Maniac Cop 2 at the same theater (as part of Alamo's December to Dismember thing). Both films open with male and female cops (partners) enjoying their celebrated status after their heroic events in the first film, but at odds with each other, and their supervising chief, who seems weirdly distrusting of them, despite the goodwill they've presumably earned. The chief makes them see a police psychiatrist to work out their issues. The protagonists end up discovering a deeper conspiracy involving their city's corrupt power structures, which both somehow involve a jailbreak that releases a horde of dangerous criminals. Again, all of this happens in both Zootopia 2 and Maniac Cop 2, which I somehow saw within 12 hours of each other. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. Zootopia 2 is the Maniac Cop 2 of animated Disney films, is I guess what I'm saying.
