runners up: skyrim, red dead redemption (first one!), bioshock

I did the thing really late #my9games

Technically HeartGold is my favorite Pokemon game, but the icon for HeartGold/SoulSilver only showed SoulSilver, and that's unacceptable to me

notably all of these are songs from when i was in high school? lmfao. i guess they just solidified into little balls of hatred at that time, and i am no longer subject to random bullshit that I hate quite so much anymore due to things like streaming vs the radio

the killers - human

hoobastank - the reason

as mentioned yesterday, hey there delilah - plain white t's

idk man all three of these make me instantly invoke a violent reaction in me, it's hard to pick which one annoys me most

both Monster and Pluto are devastating reads that everyone should go through at least once. both have adaptations that are fantastic, too.

as a huge hater of Hey There Delilah, i'll only be accepting this version of the song from now on

Hey there Delilah
It sure is dark inside this cannon
A circus for the first date
Is a choice I'll reexamine
If I'm found
After I am launched by this clown
Clear over town

oh yeah it never once stops looking you directly in the eye and continuing its bullshit, it's really gloriously earnest

husband and i played this game while sleep-deprived with a newborn and he called it "a deconstruction of the idea of a final fantasy game." also it kind of ruled.

She has been a very very expensive medically complicated rescue dog since we got her 9 years ago, and I would not take back another penny :)

(she has entered the later stages of kidney disease, but as is her style, she is sticking around long enough to cost us quite a lot of money. which of course we are grateful for. queen shit tbh)

A month or so ago we weren't sure if Piper would live long enough to get another haircut, but she is a spiteful and determined creature, so she has once again become Smooth Piper. Behold!

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Some hotel rooms designed by my toddler (she also won’t let me take off the cowboy hat)

i need no more convincing that this country doesn't give an actual shit about families having children at all than the difference between our childcare cost vs the childcare tax credit refund. pennies lmfao

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

i don’t think the goal of fiction is to fix as many people as possible

feeling some demon days-like affinity for this one and that's a big deal

i know the world is fucked and all that but the new gorillaz album is really really good imho

i guess i could also consider myself pan or something just more generally queer 'cause honestly my taste seems to rely on a lot of in-between-gender-binary-fuckery, but like. i started calling myself bi a long time ago and i'm lazy i guess

I consider myself bi, but my taste is basically just "softer masculinity" or something I think, which translates to small gentle men + butch women 🤷‍♀️ it's weird to be cops about this kinda shit imho, who cares, human brains are wild

talking to @devongiehl.bsky.social

unironically a sign of success tbh

republicans love to support the troops unless the troops are alive and inconveniencing their narrative. so they’re calling this marine veteran an “unhinged protestor” of course

so it’s deescalation when you bend down like a cartoon bull and plow a guy through a doorway I guess

real footage of a critic being driven slowly out of her mind

TAVERS: The Meow Wolf Roleplaying Game Immersive collaborative exploration based storytelling in a universe of multiple worlds

I worked on this a little bit (but mostly an amazing team worked on this)! Pretty neat!

wehhhhh -- i feel very strongly about this because of all my emotions about the wretched (especially considering TBC kinda just treated them like a nuisance and not as much of a horrifying tragedy in their own right)
