There are muscles you don’t even realise you have that start to ache the day after enough crying.

Laughing also strains them.

Kobo.

I download .epub’s off of [illegal website] and drag and drop em onto my kobo. This takes approximately 30 seconds.

I now have a new book.

(I also like buying books authentically I just read a lot of books that straight up are not available to me)

My workplace has a lot of millennials and I now understand the millennial practice of communicating in gifs.

It’s like a war of associative referencing. And BOY do I love a test of my associative brain.

Your Simpsons gif triggers my Futurama gif triggers someone else’s Lord of the Rings gif 💹💹⚗️🤩

Episode 5 is my fav episode of television ever. What a PhD Thesis of an episode of animation

This headline doesn’t read like a warning, it reads like a threat. A promise.

The person who invented the video game joystick has disappeared, they down right up and left.

JAKE FREDRICK HENRY BERRY!!!!!

Penny Wong’s insistence that we only provide “Non-lethal” F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel is horrendous.

I hope she “non-lethally” jumps off a bridge. And if that results in acct suspension then she should be made to resign.

Especially for men!

They mean older-than-them women.

They’re just outta highschool where dating one above ur year level is “woahhhh good for youuu!” And dating 2 outside ur year level might be a police call lol.

This is a great loss to the world

I only recently (2 years ago kind of “recent”) learned that other zoomers don’t typically know how to torrent. Was a real shock. Was very sad.

Not very far in but my current emotion is “Pleeeeeease don’t do anything weird about Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander connection to country.”

I really really need to see some First Nations voices on the topic pronto.

I work on this game!

It was on of the top 5 “most sales on release” games in Australia. It was high in that 5 but I can’t reveal where.

Also this is such a funny thing to call obscure. It’s like calling Madden Obscure. It’s our national sport lol. No shade though.

R-r-r-repost time! My zine is OUT and you should read it!!

4 articles about video games! From thematic analysis, to feminism, to worldbuilding and raw design analysis, there’s a bit of something for everyone in it.

A photo of 2 physical copies of a zine called Heartware Magazine, positioned in front of a computer screen on the digital version of the zine.

Express trains going past your station without stopping are so scary and loud.

Like damn girl do you really hate me that much?

“What’s something everyone in your field knows but that shocks outsiders?” Post

Quality Assurance isn’t much like play testing at all.

My American girlfriend who only recently moved to Aus, seeing a pic of Matt Mercer in Sydney: “oh my god… I’m in the same country as Matt Mercer”

“You always were?.”

“Oh my god you’re right.”

This is really smart process, games should do this

I feel like the more liberating approach to this is to just be hyperbolic about the world we have access to, and to eagerly await the potential arrival of those games we can’t play.

Something that makes me irrationally super mad is people claiming that “Kind Regards” is a “passive aggressive” email sign off.

Like NOOOOOOO. That’s supposed to be the ULTIMATE TRUE NEUTRAL PROFESSIONAL ONE.

AGHHHHH!! Why am I so upset by this!!

Please don’t justify it in the comments I’ll cry

People in America will post the best tacos you’ve ever seen in your life, and if you’re Australian you just have to tank that jealousy

This is what it’s about

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark.

“The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

“I wanna be part of the cultural conversation.” The only cultural conversations *really* worth being in are the ones still going on years later.

This is such a great post. Thank you for sharing.

Watching band of brothers with my partner right now.

GF: it’s crazy how much effort and logistics it took to take all these guys and just kill the fuck out of the Nazis
Me, thoughtfully: yeah… I think posting is more effective though.
