Häll

I didn’t have my glasses on so the reflection in the water looked like the face of Spawn at first.

If you squint I think you can experience the 40 yo Vision™ as well.

a man wearing glasses and a scarf is looking at another man . Alt: A man (the artist Jay Z) wearing glasses and a scarf is bopping his head to music only he can hear and we can only imagine.

The end of the vid gave strong Jay Z vibes and I’m here for it.

When you think about it, a sword is just a big knife.
And having a knife with you is always handy. Always.

A wand is just a stick. Having a stick is sometimes useful (decent for poking at stuff) but only sometimes. Also you gotta learn magic and who’s got time for that?

So I’d gotta go with the 🗡️

Returnal is too good.

The climb to Hyperion while the music is getting ever louder, only to reach a crescendo as you get on top of the tower and watch it play its mad music. I stood there listening to the music for a good while.
I even played the game again just to hear more of its music.

Amazing.

Is..
Is that young Ville Valo?

Would it count as animal cruelty showing the beetle how its people are being killed, over and over again? 🤔

It’s reeeaaal ugly but looks like it’ll be great to play with. Got to get the uggo to have a great game experience.

Heavy is the hand that carries the gamepad or something.

I don’t think people with strong PCs are the target demographic for this. It’s more for those PC-curious people who are intimidated by building a PC or buying some random rubbish Windows pre-made.

That said, this is exactly what might get me personally _back_ to PC gaming. 🤔

That is a gorgeous, heart warming photo.

Hope your big day will be nothing short of fantastic!

Being pedantic but doesn’t “factoid” mean a false bit of info?

So in that case it’s a great example of a factoid because the average person does _not_, in fact, take 3 benzos a year.

These were interesting suggestions! Especially the Justice of Kings sounds well intriguing.

Will have a look and nudge my wife as well, she’s mad into such books as well.

I’ve actually read Mistborn, not sure how I forgot to mention it, lol.
It was a little too anime-y but I did enjoy it.

And the cursed “stay physically active” always makes it way in somehow as well.

I mean fair, I was mostly jesting.

But while they do present very male-y but I recall them being sterile and sexless in a manner? As in that this is removed from them?

Not that it removes the clear maleness, brother this & brother that.

The IRL reasons for this is also just sad butit tracks.

I thought Mr. Norrel & Jonathan Strange had an interesting approach to magic: academic, down to earth & practical but with a hint of the mania & mental cost.
Robin Hobb had interesting takes on magic as well. 🤔

I’ve no experience with mystical & Eldritch magic tho, so can’t say about that.

Not sure if it lead to anything but you know what, you got me to block them after seeing a few of their interactions here.

I’ve enjoyed Bluesky and I hope it won’t go down to the same path as Twitter did.
Here’s hoping.

Where can I find this list?
A quick google didn’t bring me to it.

There’s a weird lack of _good_ magic systems.

There’re some decent to good ones (Mr. Norrel & Jonathan Strange was an interesting take even if mundane) but especially the odd, weird, mysterious & Eldritch ones simply don’t seem to exist.

Or maybe I just don’t know of them? 🤔
Any suggestions?

Been a while since I read WH-lore so this might be a stupid question but I always thought that space marines are de facto genderless?

But if you have to have a gender, I suggest the following: female, male, space wolf or dreadnought.

But more realistically, you only have one: adeptus astartes

Yeah, this is more if a northern vs southern Europe thing in my mind.
In the north places close way earlier.

Kinda makes sense what with winter and all. Same as it makes sense to stay open later in the south.

Ah, you’re the illustrious John Warhammer then?
A pleasure to meet you.

Gentlemen, -women and -theys, this is d̶e̶m̶o̶c̶r̶a̶c̶y̶ Warhammer manifest!

Ngl, was a little disappointed at the image first bc it felt like cheap.

But then I saw the fella opposite of her was also in a tank top & pauldrons + in the bottom left we’ve a fully armoured one.

Also, autocorrect is giving “Paul’s drones” for pauldrons for me as well. What nonsense is this?

I’ve just introduced the Tim Tam slam to my office mates in Finland.

Even after a demonstration it was met with confusion & a fair amount of suspicion.
But once I managed to lure one of them to try it & the others saw the bliss upon his face at the end of it, they all wanted it.

We got ‘em. 🫡

Would it have been better if Canada didn’t recognise Palestine?

This is a step in the right direction. Frankly, much more needs to happen & this should’ve been done ages ago but it’s still a great step.

Celebrate this & keep the momentum for changing.
Don’t douse the fire before it ignites.

Exactly why the upcoming EU Consumer Rights rule is so important.

“This [Directive] means consumers must be able to exercise their right of withdrawal through a clear, user-friendly mechanism, like a button or prominently labelled link (e.g. “Cancel my contract” or “Withdraw from contract here”).”

Ah, fair play.
That makes sense.

That’s a rather simplistic view of consent.
It’s not signing contracts or begging for sex. I mean it can be that too, I suppose.

Consent is also someone clearly wanting you, consent is someone being into having sex with you, consent is someone going “yesyesyesYES!” during sex & so on & so forth.

This is the kind of tinkering I remember from the 90s and early 00s PC-gaming.

How very considerate of Randy to let us all relive those days.

This is how I find out that Robert Redford died??

Bloody hell..
We lost a beautiful man.

AFAIK, no controversies, no creepy behaviour, no antivaxx, not a racist bastard. (yeah, the bar is low 😔)
Just wonderful performances & a smile that would melt you.

May the soil be soft for you, Robert. ✌️

While I adore this & watched it many, many times as wee bairn, I will never not chuckle at Aragorn aaaaalmost doing the Disney knees.
