I swear, the amount of people who don’t know how important photobashing and blending are to concept art and just instantly claim it’s AI instead of researching common practices in commercial graphic design.

Anyone who acts like that doesn’t care about the artists and just wants to be mad.

I just witnessed an incredibly upbeat ad on Spotify for a museum’s HANDMAID’S TALE exhibit.

If there’s ever a story to have upbeat and cheery music and voiceover for, it is not that one.

They’re not “Safe words” they’re Words of Power, and that specifically is a Protective Glyph.

Is the speed that death catches up to you Momentum Mori?

I need more options in games to have helmets with aventails. Really plays into the terrifying melee combatant fantasy.

I suppose it makes sense that the right option for fighting a clown is a Carney.

The greatest advice I’ve ever been given was that if nobody cares, or if nobody understands, strive to be nobody.

I do not understand my cat. I can cook steak, chicken or fish and she doesn’t particularly care, but the moment the cereal comes out she MUST HAVE the grain circles.

I was called back to play FF14 with free game time, the curse has returned.

I used to bowl as an athlete. This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest for the things I’ve seen at bowling alleys.

I will never understand backseating towards a streamer in general. But *especially* for puzzle games, where the enjoyment is gained purely through thinking and trying to come to conclusions on your own.

It’s honestly baffling to me rich people are so incredibly desperate to be loved by the public, and they won’t do the one thing that would actually buy that adoration.

Pay off the debts of as many people as possible.

I am proud to witness Tumblr officially winning the culture war with the death of 4chan.

Near and dear to my heart, the feeling of wandering around as a child in awe of the world.

I have fallen to the temptation of those exact same sushi platters.

Start with Gundam Wing and embrace the absurdity.

I can hear this being yelled in my head in a very particular voice.

I’m convinced that if anyone on the left wants to get through to the right-wing base, you have to give them what they want and respect.

Put the energy of a WWE promotion into speeches, make it a spectacle, make people look in awe. It’s never been policy, it’s presentation.

I find it hilarious that the man with a sunny-D spray tan in the White House has claimed now that the Great Depression would have been averted with tariffs.

It’s almost as if the Smoot-Hawley tariff act wasn’t the nail in the coffin that made that depression so great.

I remember growing up and being somewhat anxious of the feeling of pressure in my head I’d get when hearing music that made me emotional.

It took me way too long to figure out that’s the literal ASMR sensation.

Uematsu’s “Theme of Love” is going to be stuck in my head all day now.

Goes with the equal opportunity employer non-binary butler bar.

I feel like humanity lost something important when we settled down and built cities in which generation after generation live.

The feeling of walking in a direction and only stopping when too tired to move, and then continuing onward until hill and tree vanish over the horizon. I yearn for it.

Looking at the stock market makes you see what I assume was the “red wave” that the republicans said they’d bring.

It’s a really interesting place for me somewhere between 3 and 4. Because I get a vague fuzzy version of everything but I can flesh it out more conceptually in ways that feel surreal.

Definitely gives me inspiration as a writer to see things in the kind of underdeveloped film snapshots I do.

And it’s better for group cosplay.

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all.” - John Steinbeck.

I didn’t understand just what level of selfishness could lead to this when I read The Grapes of Wrath as a teen.

I’m sure we all do now.

I’m convinced that all of my ails in the world can go away the exact moment I am allowed to play a fishing minigame..

If anyone sincerely believes that just trying to end the status quo of the US government is better than doing so while *also* voting for the lesser of two evils, they really need a reality check.

Moral superiority can’t be attained without minimizing suffering through all avenues.

A general rule of thumb that people need to remember when discussing difficult topics.

If your conversational partner is stating their viewpoints clearly and concisely and you’re refusing to elaborate to your own reasonings, you’re not “winning,” you’re not a “master debater,” you’re just dumb.
