Sometimes I type it out and post it, just to fully process my feelings, then immediately delete the reply and block.

She sounds angry in an entirely different way, which fits (even for me, the denialist who believes Flemeth was the most real Mythal lol).

I know I said I hate short form videos, but I am making an exception for this cinema.

I read it in the script like a year out and was like "god, i hope this is the shooting script", and I was SO THRILLED when it was.

The Disaster Expedition prepares to face Visages

A great thing about Visages is that it has the most baller song in the whole game, and it's for a optional mini boss.

Important Update: I have acquired my favourite foot, the Bonk.

Lune's brother was named Sol, so what's the money on her sister being named ร‰toile? Unless she was also named Sciel, I guess.

The point is that it has to be a Romance (with a capital R), not just [insert sport] + sexy fun. But execs will absolutely go with the latter, and then be Very Confused when it doesn't work, and then give up.

They did a similar with the Barbie movie, too. "Oh, more movies about toys" was...not the answer.

They will not ask any of the right people but they *will* keep trying everything else.

Today in Clair Obscur, I got to the "Verso magic" conversation, but I don't have the funny outfit. *sighs*

Anyway, I wrote my MP, because the Olympics has me feeling Canadian, but I have *never* been more proud of this country than I was in 2001, when Chrรฉtien planted us like a tree, and said "No."

Remember the time Jean Chrรฉtien was like "absolutely the fuck not"?

Absolutely THE FUCK not.

I definitely referred to him as Scruffy Robert Pattinson for a *while*. ๐Ÿคฃ

Yeah, the key is to make sure an area is clear and then use the flag *after* it.

I does reset all the enemies though, which I found extremely confusing at the beginning.

Okay, so the Duellist is *much* easier to fight if you prep.

Let me be crystal clear on something: were this law to be passed, every one of the 13 states with Freedom to Read laws would cease to have those laws to protect them anymore.

We have poured so much energy into those state lawsโ€“which matter, hear meโ€“but they are not going to solve the big issue.

That's not what I'm talking about, but I did wonder *why* anyone would want that! (I still didn't buy it lol)

I can fall off of things you didn't even realize had edges.

If it was timing, I could handle it. But the logs are not timing, and so I give up to stay sane.

Yeah, I gave up after my third try failing the jump to the rickety platform thingy. And it took me like fifteen minutes to get across the logs each time.

This time through Clair Obscur I am *really* working on clearing Pictos. Even if they're not ones I use a lot. Continent fights are so handy. I just don't want a backlog.
