***not a euphemism

Reader i was thinking of The Brood

Me: it's kinda like uhh... Scanners. No not scanners but uhhh *completely blanks* that uh.
Whichever cronenberg movie it is where the guy's body does some fucked up thing

Aryel: yeah!

Guy ony Strange Addiction is addicted to eating butter; he added it to a charcuterie board and my spouse thought it was gross but i was like hmmmmmnowwaitaminit I don't think that seems to bad.......

Was told the last one was "once every 10 years" so let's see how this goes

Xbox news got me looking up other phils and man, after stadia phil harrison really fell off the map, huh

My biggest problem with The Traitors is the accepted nomenclature that people from like Survivor or The Challenge are referred to as "gamers" like it's a reality show archetype

The US government should refund people who were hit with exorbitant tariff bills

rumors that sony and microsoft are coming out with handhelds is interesting but also unless they're also just, dockable devices that you can play on the go or in handheld, it's not the same, and the switch will have that advantage. they're just making game boys in comparison.

like personally, if their next thing ISN'T a console/handheld hybrid that I can plug into a TV but also take with me, I think I'd feel cheated. they'd have to come up with something else to make it worthwhile and i have no idea what that could be.

people want nintendo to come up with something New and Innovative but I think the problem with the Switch is simply that they came up with the perfect idea and there's nowhere to go from there except power and hardware improvements

i do remember hearing that bluepoint was working on an original game and i wonder if that was what the impetus for this shutdown was; took too long, was maybe caught up in the live service push, and so now with nothing to show they just get shown the door.

i had my criticisms of bluepoint's work but this is an outrageous thing to do to them. this is a studio that could have put out YEARS worth of work. sony has a large enough back catalog that they could have taken their picks!

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

life is strange 2 is also a game where the characters can only find redemption through their proximity to whiteness so maybe there's some limits to the imagination of *checks notes* a bunch of french people making a story about american racial issues

"it's weird life is strange 2 fell from the public consciousness" not really. turns out people don't actually care about the border until it's knocking on their door. there's stories going back decades about the harms of the american border to latine people that no one's bringing up either.

made fan art for my favourite horror movie

Like i really wasn't worried about this but then it's taken them so long to get it together that now it feels much larger and Important and like, no way they spent 5 hours delaying and getting it ready if it's just gonna be a simple 30 minute test right

Training has turned into a bunch of sitting around and doing nothing because they keep changing the format of the exam we were supposed to start taking like an hour ago. It's like if school was an airport.

account.venmo.com/u/Romination we accept help but will not be put out if we don't receive it

after much worry, my gas bill finally arrived at around $300 for only a part of the big cold snap which we Do Not Love

In training for reading technical drawings and it's like trying to solve the world's worst imsim puzzle written by a dozen people who refused to talk to each other

Like yes these ARE my three different types of salt and they DO have different uses and YES we need them all

Cracking back into Salt Fat Acid Heat for the first time in years and smiling as i remember how annoying this made me for a while

Two crusty but kinda pale baguettes sitting on a cooling rack

A sliced open baguette with a nice crumb. A streak of red runs through - that's the hot sauce mixed in

Not.... Gorgeous (forgot to score and sprinkle with flour) but it looks like a baguette and tastes fine and has a nice crust

making Tabasco baguettes from the Official Tabasco Recipe Book and while I'm not certain it'll come out good (dough seemed real dense) it sure is smelling great right now. And it BETTER be good because: i have made 3 of them

we like the house we live in a lot but it's becoming Very Clear some of the ways in which it is 100 years old, despite its renovations.

Watching The Core in peaceful silence while a hundred nasa engineers collectively wail and moan and gnash their teeth around me

sometimes there's also a feeling of like, yeah bro it's fiction. oh traffic lights don't work like that? thank you for telling me - you see i had come into Live Free or Die Hard thinking it was a documentary that I would be learning from, and you have saved me from such a fate.

"i couldn't enjoy the way movie/game/book showed X activity because i do it in real life and so i know it doesn't work like that." wow interesting. i was enjoying a tense spectacle based around said activity that spoke to me as a setpiece and character moment. but i guess your thing is cool too.
