Sometimes you're just a cryptic laughing merchant on an island in the middle of a poisonous bog in life. Write what you know!

"inspecting the arch reveals nothing. Inspecting the intrados, however, reveals an ooze poised to drop on their heads like in Dark Souls"

Can't wait for issue 0A

Mausership deserves its own boxed set

FrankenBond

100 cash for 1 grass, 10 grass for 1 ass, nobody rides for free

And fewer diseases.

I'm imagining when you get the quad vaccine you walk into a floating quake symbol and then the screen turns kinda blue and you have way more train opinions.

But what if you go over the top and your hellhound never sees you again?

I'm beginning to think the only winning move is not to play.

Nope! Warped Axe good.

A picture labeled Warped Axe, a bent and busted axe that looks like total garbage. It does some of the best damage in Elden Ring.

Trying to figure out how to capture the magic of looking up the ugly, obviously garbage weapon you just found in Elden Ring only to discover that it hits harder than the magic greatsword you get for beating the final boss of the whole game.

This morning my car keys weren't in the Car Key Place which meant I had to search the entire house to find out they were, in fact, less than 3 inches away from the Car Key Place

A Tenet is a Tenant of the mind

Good job continuing to fund your parks, Portland! Not the most exciting election result from the last 24 hours but it's mine.

It's fun to play games with your friends
