i truly used to ship mal/inara back in the day and rewatching it i was like... oh my god. he's horrible. what was i THINKING lmao
we truly can't talk about dollhouse lmfao
"what if in the future, sex work was legal but the entire show is going to be about the one guy who's against it. also he's a thinly veiled metaphor for a confederate soldier" stop
a lot of you haven't rewatched firefly recently and it shows, in the sense that you probably shouldn't rewatch it ever if you want to keep thinking it was good. it was a mass delusion that i also participated in but in my defense i hadn't started reading feminist blogs yet at the time.
i cannot be the only person obsessed with grace ashcroft's hair
yeah but they're gonna make me pay that shit back so all i really did was delay the inevitable. still, though, i guess that's something
having four months of W2 from vox media and then 1.5 months worth of W2 from valnet is environmental storytelling
there's a lot about being self-employed that fucking owns and i can't complain HOWEVER i will complain about shit like taxes and how annoying they are when that's your situation.
it's actually not even hard to do them because i have an accountant but it IS upsetting because when i calculated my quarterly estimated tax payments, i did not predict to spend the second half of the year freelancing, and i didn't update them to be the right amounts, and so on. so stupid
doing my taxes... aaaaa.... feel sorry for me... feel sorry when you remember the series of Job Events that happened to me last year that must now become taxes

this is an article that i'm guessing a lot of people will be able to relate to!!
definitely thought you were referring to the concept of routine at first and was like "yeah it sucks but it's largely good for me so i guess i do it"

prescient commentary on the Hollywood machine from spider-man and his amazing friends (1981)
we got a new couch cover which is going to allow us to procrastinate seriously needing to get a new couch for at least a year. maybe more, who knows
the ubiquity and also the low price, especially compared to chains like starbucks et al. dunkin has preserved its "for the people" image pretty effectively over the years. it is the coffee of the working class and is very strongly associated with that here to this day imo
oh yeah, it's a class thing
this is terrifying. i hope the part of boston you were in is doing ok
because of my time zone and line of work, most people assume i live in nyc and it doesn't necessarily warrant correcting, except when my culture (dunkin donuts) is under attack and i have to speak up
i would clarify that this is because we live right by a dunkin donuts but everyone already knows i live in boston so this goes without saying
had to rewatch this work of art in light of rfk jr's dunkin donuts comments. and also after watching dozens of my comrades walking by my apartment window this winter during full-on blizzards carrying iced dunks in their bare hands www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSvN...
yeah. i have no inside info here, but i think this is just them trying to optimistically message the fact that they've had to seriously scale back on their plans to make a trilogy. i'm sympathetic to that.
i'm curious if the decision here was partially financial (although i get why they would not choose to message it this way). making an additional two acts would take more time & therefore more money. making it into one "complete" game may be an easier sell especially to get new/more players
thanks for reading <3
this is it -->
they basically DID do this enemy type with The Baby in RE8! so they definitely know how to do it residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Baby
yep. i'm never going to play alien isolation. it doesn't sound remotely fun to me
to be clear, i actually appreciate this because i liked having an RE game that i can just play. and i am glad to see a lot of people still found it scary, if that's what they wanted out of it. i kind of like it when RE is action because i'm a baby lmao
same and i think it's because you actually have a lot of control in the game, as compared to re2 remake where you can't ever avoid mr. X (that was both scary and frustrating for me). even in the basement in requiem, you can use the lights to control the situation and decide when/how to engage
