I am convinced that given enough time, the gene for Tries Crazy Shit and the gene for Has Mad Skills will converge.

I try to be that friend. Mostly, people are too busy being wrung dry by “life” to respond.

I have not, but I have it mentally bookmarked for when I’m in a better head space. Thank you for the suggestion.

I was okay that day, but lost it while reading The Shepherd’s Crown.

The Guardian and Ancient shields would auto-reflect beams, but still consume shield durability. Any shield could be used with the parry and not consume durability. (This goes for most if not all monster attacks.)

No, it’s not. No matter how much effort you put in, it will never be enough. The world is only satisfied when we’re dead, preferably of natural causes after wringing us dry of “productivity.”

Certified hood classic. This one triggered an ex coworker so bad, the rest of us were desperately looking for a suitable plushie to adopt as the team mascot, “Big Brownie.”

Only $1500? Was the hospital across the street?

You don’t need to pull a gun, jeebus.

I always heard that name as “Al McHogan.”

Either way, fuck supper.

Huh, have only ever seen the final form of this one. Didn’t realize there was a progression.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

My teenage nephew, fresh off of regurgitating talking points about how $80 Nintendo games were total ripoffs, happily bought Doom on launch for $70 (with whose money I do not know), beat it in less than a week, and then raved about it in a phone call for over an hour, eager to experience any upcoming DLC.

So, uh, that’s the audience, I guess?

Yeah, that tracks.

I hate Windows. I will always fondly remember XP and Win 7. Windows 7 should’ve been the last Windows.

Windows 7 was the first and last version that I didn’t immediately (and lastingly) despise. Something something stopped clocks etc.

At this point I’m convinced that the terrors are persisting out of spite for me, personally.

The ship that dad is holding is sending up slop flares.

Edit: 🤦‍♂️ I know it’s the original art. But the ship is huge, looks like it holds about 9 pegs, and the one on the left is lined up directly over a finger. 🤷‍♂️

Hard relate to 1. But I actually have some relevant info for 3:

You’ll still get coup’d, but at least you’ll have a better understanding of why.

headphones with music (at a reasonable volume!) to dampen other sounds in the case of sound sensitivity, sunglasses in case of light sensitivity, etc.

Any suggestions for smell (that don’t involve holding one’s nose permanently and sounding like a muppet)? Because I spent over half my life in an environment teeming with cigarettes stale and fresh, and ever since I got out of that environment the faintest of fragrances are irritating and the strongest are repulsive. I’ve spent the past 15 years being incredulous that I’m either the only one that smells Whatever That Smell Is, or convinced I’m having olfactory hallucinations.
