(he/him) Laboratory worker. 100% not a dog that is also a computer, honest.

Tisl valentine's card.

CW: contains dick cleavage, rude.

I love the sensory hellscape of our buffet, to my left somebody is playing a video on travel food tourism in Egypt. Chinese-pop is blaring overhead. Directly behind me is a TV showing a Cultivation show where a monk got his ass beat by a zombie and then became enlightened.
Seeing @irisjaycomics talk about uno also makes me think that good simple casual gathering games include stuff like Left Center Right
I want there to be more possum video posters spread across things because I don't want to share Twitter links, but you better believe my ass will scrape a video from discord for reposting

Our household does bayberry candles for luck on New Year's Eve and Christmas, and last night, the taper holder it was in blew itself apart during the last burns of the candle.

Rather than think this is a bad omen for the year, I'm going to conflate it with the fact that I wish upon the candles when I light them and I'm gonna go with the universe going "alright, we'll see if we can't do something with that."

I'll let y'all know if it comes true.

I think there's a whole ass article that could be written explicitly about the three recruitable kid characters in the game, regarding:

• the duty of care that society has for its most vulnerable
• how kids perceive world changing events (naivety vs an almost nihilistic carefree attitude vs having been born into a world where they've only know this)
• the fact that out of all of the characters in the game, these are the three most likely to straight up die

There's a lot of other things that get touched on like:

• infrastructure fails the most vulnerable people first
• how to convey loss and tragedy to people who might not otherwise understand what's going on
• how there are bad faith actors in the world but you still need to not swing too hard in the opposite direction, lest you lock yourself away from the world out of fear of getting hurt
• how people can love you AND have bad intentions for you
• harm as a function of ignorance versus malice

Been yelling about it constantly in various places, but I really ought to sit down and figure out specifically why Look Outside managed to hit me in the deepest part of my brain like Earthbound did.

My gut instinct: a lot of the game deals with themes of helplessness and isolation, and both the healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms that people develop as a result of coming to terms with a global phenomenon.

Plus, the fact that you might end up weird, but that doesn't make you BAD.

Mahjong is very funny sometimes. "There's no way he's going for all green, that's stupid, that's a joke hand that doesn't exist"

FOLKS HIS ASS WAS GOING FOR ALL GREEN

i cant believe firefox is making me activate mickey's dick smasher by switching to a fork, and now my ass is gonna have to do that for a mail client too because my brain is shaped as to need an email wrapper to function, because if firefox is gonna rub their balls all over AI, I don't trust them to not do that to Thunderbird
