In case you had any doubts Skin Deep is a good game, here's an excerpt from its patch notes.

excuse me?

dumb ass liberals keep going “see it’s a publicity stunt!” and well yes the thing about publicity stunts is they typically work! democrats are allergic to doing anything that people might like it’s infuriating

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared

lmao i love that one! yeah I'm excited too, i hope we don't end up with something as boring as they did, but it's nice to see states getting rid of blue rectangles with things on them

ken do you also like vexillology? what do you think of the bill to create a new flag for michigan?

i'm not a big texter because after i've said "lol" "haha" and "lmao" once each then I have to stop the conversation immediately as i can no longer react to anything

why did I wait so long to play the new one? i'm really right back to my middle school aoe2 obsession immediately

age of empires iv is my favorite kind of video game: the kind that has me pausing the video game to look up the history of the domestication of horses

I really prefer Storygraph to Goodreads, but I miss all my Goodreads friends. If you're on Storygraph, follow me, I'm karlbarx! 💙📚

I had no idea that Paul Stamets from Star Trek: Discovery was named after a real mycologist. I just saw a reference to the real Paul Stamets while reading Tao Orion's Beyond the War on Invasive Species (great book btw) 🌱 💙📚

i'm not super clear on what "rizz" is because I'm old, but I think it's like when the Baker in Kiki's Delivery Service spun two trays full of loaves on his fingertips like basketballs and then winked at the cat. I have that kind of rizz (large, often quiet, full of bread)

the entire internet is gonna be this stuff by the end of the year and youll have to like, call a librarian on the phone in order to find reliable information again

Sometimes you’re about to go to sleep but then you have no choice but to sit up reading the Wikipedia pages of all the defunct department stores from when you were a kid

oh right lmao, thank you

what who *is* this about?

why did you take a photo of him without his permission? that's pretty weird

polymath? that’s what i gotta do to figure out which baddie i’m kickin it w/ each night

God fucking bless Bill Watterson for never selling out or we’d be subjected to Calvinball: The Movie starring Michael Cera as Calvin and Will Ferrell as Hobbes
