Slightly, yes, which is good since that means they spend less time on the very tip of my nose making me look like a weird googly-eyed librarian

They're not THAT thick!

Materials have improved significantly over the last ten years so now they're only HALF a finger!

What do you mean you can just READ the MCDONALDS MENU when it's ALL THE WAY UP THERE????

The next time you read a distant street sign or small text on a screen from any sort of distance, know that in my mind I consider you to be doing fantastical wizardry

Two things can be true: 1.) The Game Awards are meaningless and we shouldn't take them all that seriously. 2.) Award shows of its scale DO rewrite the mainstream history of the art form, whether they deserve to or not, and its okay to care that it's so thoughtless despite having that responsibility.

someone making an otherwise entirely gameplay focused mod for luigi's mansion should rename exactly one boo to "boossy" and see if anyone notices

I still can't get my head around the fact that people here were born after 2000

let alone 2010

While I agree with that, I'm looking for published books in order to learn from writing at a higher standard of quality, with less of the "shortcuts" fanfic takes by necessity. Now, how many modern books actually do that...

"The BookTok sensation" is not the endorsement you think it is, and "slow-burn enemies to lovers" is a fanfic phrase. Why is it in actual published book descriptions. What happened.

No, Libby, when I clicked the fantasy tag, I did not ask for every "sizzling" "sensual" romantasy stories you had

Y'know, I could say I hope this is the thing that finally kills COD, but realistically I doubt most of its demographic cares about slop

Divided We Rise MFRP is now reopened for new members!

After the success of our opening, we had closed down to settle in our new members and establish the baseline for our plots. Now, a few months later, we are ready for some fresh blood to come play with us.

See replies for important links + info!

google how to rewire brain so messages just saying "hi" do not automatically appear to equal "i want something from you"

Oh I'm well aware. Can definitely see why some people would be upset though, like it makes it more of a "generic" shooter.

Some people are saying it's not that bad while others are saying yes, it absolutely is

Metroid friends, I don't actually know what happened, but I feel like I should offer you all my deepest condolences

This sounds like it should be a vaguely punkish 80s song about that one summer you spent with this girl you don't know anymore but had a blast with, something something, cherish your youth

Like, I'm absolutely noticing now that I don't have as much of a "stock" of emotion/gesture/expression phrases as I used to, and I just kinda go from point A to point B which makes my stuff too short

Not a problem I EVER expected to have, considering I'm usually a chronic yapper

Now that I'm writing more I'm keenly aware I need to read more to improve it but also that involves being able to sit down and focus for long periods and my attention span's badly eroded

slot machines disguised as phone games control far too much of the beautiful animated women industry

A screenshot of an online lobby in Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Highlights of the racers include;
Sonic the Werehog in a bright pastel pink and blue car (reminiscent of the trans flag) with a huge dragon head on the front
Two Ichiban Kasugas, who are wildly inconsistent with the game's artstyle, stanced up on hoverboards (one of which is shaped like a flying blue cartoon shark)
And Eggman on a bright pink hoverboard
