honestly sometimes stories where characters have self awareness and solve their problems maturely can be really refreshing sometimes. and sometimes it feels like therapyspeak slop. intense stories where no one is capable of understanding themselves and act out in incorrect ways can be very fun. and sometimes it feels like contrived bullshit. whatever makes "a good story" is harder to make happen than just using the right kind of characters using the right words
HEARTBREAKING: band you just discovered doesn't have any other songs that sound like that
luigi mangione facing the death penalty just seems like a bad decision for america. so there's this guy that everyone loves and considers a hero, and we arrested him after very obviously planting fake evidence. and now we're going to subject him to an unfair trial and kill him at the end. there's no way anyone will be mad about that right
The thing is I would be a lot less upset about paying $80 dollars for a video game if
A. The money actually went to the laborers and developers who made the game in the first place.
B. Prices for most console games were more flexible, and actually went down over time, rather than selling a years-old game from the last generation at a markup from it's original MSRP.
C. The price was adjusted for places where buying a video game can cost several month's paycheck.
Like games as a medium, especially big AAA titles, take an absurd amount of labor hours to make. In a just world, maybe GTA VI or whatever should be $100 dollars, given how many people probably bled for probably a decade to make it! Unfortunately that money will not, in this industry, go back to the developers, the coders, the artists who made the damn thing. They'll be worked to death, paid peanuts, and fired as soon as the game releases.
wait i'm curious
My dad sent these pictures of quail in his yard. Happy fat fuck Friday
whats great about the internet is that you can just ignore people who are fucking stupid and not waste your time on them, i say, white knuckling the sink and staring into the mirror
funny thing about “pure obsessional” or mental-only compulsive OCD is that you could be having the most devastating mental health crisis of your life and spiraling into the brainworm dimension but to everyone around you, you’re just politely browsing for medicated chapstick
literally just
me: having a devastating mental health crisis invisibly in the middle of a grocery store is so absurd it’s funny. here’s a doodle of how absurd it feels.
this person: wow I can’t believe you don’t believe other people can have their struggles you stupid individualist asshole
grumpy unicorn I had an IRL run of this sticker (theres like 1-2 conventions worth of them left in my stock), but for all intents an purposes, this one is retired I'll be doing updated art that's like a better shape, the printing for tall stickers is a little overpriced (new unicorns will also be a set of 2-4 designs) as with most of my retired stickers, he's available on redbubble
