Guards! Guards! is one of my favorites and a great early one to read.

brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

Wish I could internalize this

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

I am on an implant now, and I lament no longer being part of the gang 😞

I honestly think it's a good thing my body decided no we are gluten intolerant now cause otherwise I'd be making some bad decisions

Omg she looks so soft.

And it's gooooooood

“Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives.”

this is beautiful 🥲

The amount of "test projects" I get sent when applying to video editor jobs is absurd. And not just a quick cut job either, people want motion graphics, sound design and color grading, the whole shebang. I have a portfolio for a reason

I really liked that arc of comics kinda a bummer it was so short-lived.

The first album is so damn good I run live sound for events and always spin a few tracks from it for soundcheck

On Twitter, the Nier creator listed out a version of the plot he concocted while playing through the game. Youtuber and Monster Hunter expert Gaijinhunter did a translation of Yoko's suggestions, which can be read below: As I play MHRise, here is a story I thought up - After the tutorial there is a rampage and the buff old man acts as a shield to save everyone but dies. In fact, he dies due to a mistake made by the player. - Either the dango girl or the buddy plaza kid dies. The one who doesn't falls into darkness and sets fire to Kamura village. The chorus from the buddy plaza BGM no longer plays. - The last boss arrives but nothing you can do will harm it, but you can sacrifice one of the twins and make a weapon out of her that will damage it. You the player has to the choose which of the girls. After creating the weapon, there is no longer singing in the village BGM. - As main characters die out, they are replaced by the store generic NPCs, and they start to come to the conclusion that the player is a danger to the village. They start restricting items and weapons, making the game more difficult. - During a super hard quest, the target monster is able to talk. They tell you the "true meaning" behind the monsters and Kamura village, and we learn the reason why our hunter has a voice in this game. - After clearing all the village quests, the village is left asunder. You can only play online multiplayer. The players, who have lost everything, can only go on killing monsters in this cold and barren world. (Title of the game is shown)

People on the Monster Hunter subreddit were getting mad at Yoko Taro’s story ideas for Monster Hunter Rise but they have to understand

1) this is funny as fuck
2) I would play this game in a heartbeat

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

If an older woman took me dress shopping right now, that would honestly cure like 99% of my brainworms.

1. Some homebrew Pathfinder probably
2. D&D 4th ed.
3. Blades in the Dark
4. Deadlands
5. Blades in the Dark
6. Beam Saber
7. Broncalonia (hopefully soon)

Also I'm desperate to play The Wildsea

Somewhere, there is like an accounting palico who now has a nightmare amount of paperwork to fill out because of it

Hunter you have permission to bonk the hell outta the flying sparky lizard

Monday coming in full force with my boss threatening threatening to have my manager arrested because of a small billing error she made like two years ago.

I hate it here.

I mean, I'm usually free nudgenudgewinkwink

Gonna be thinking about mutton flavored soju for the rest of the day thanks

It's Friday get wild

Nee sies hangovers need strawberry

Sending yogisip in solidarity

They should just let us run games in the hard boiled potato mode honestly

Just absolutely obsessed with this jacket right now

I mean it's riddled with yikes moments and dead ends but it's absolutely not ever so bad it's worth skipping.

Twin Peaks season 2 is good actually
