i learned that the world record for the loudest thing ever shouted belongs to an Irish female teacher who shouted the word “quiet” at 121 decibels, the equivalent of a jet engine (x)

oh my god?

Okay please read this whole article because there is important information in ther, including;

1. She never yells at her students- her record breaking 121 decibel shout happened during an event she’d been invited to. She was defending her title after setting the previous shouting record during a competition at a church camp, where she got to 119.4 decibels 

2. The only reason she entered the first competition was because her twin sister had entered and was about to win with a shout of 119.1 decibels. 

3. They took her to an expert to try to understand how she shouted so very loud and his conclusion was that her supernatural volume was fueled entirely by her need to beat her sister. 

That’s just how siblings are.

It really is

NPCs—a tribute.

NPCs, NPCs, #NPCs. You gotta love 'em. You don't have much choice, in fact. They are quite possibly one of the very best things about #gaming, and provide seemingly endless, albeit accidental, entertainment. Walking into walls? Check. Walking into each other? Check. Running into space, for no obvious reason, drawing weapon and assuming battle stance, for no obvious reason, before withdrawing and walking in the other direction, for no obvious reason? Check. Shouting hey! watch it!/you hear that?/must be nothing.../what was that?/I thought I heard something..., unprompted? Check. Walking slowly/freezing/moving without walking/sliding around/stuck in place/floating away into the sky? Check. Crouching around from side to side for a few moments, for no obvious reason? Check. Commencing beef, battle, conflict, and general disarray with you, the protagonist, unprompted? Check, check, check. *hazardous battle music commences*  

These non-playable characters are so often the accidental stars of the show, entertaining us with an all manner of unexpected behaviour, glorious glitches, and unforgettably banal dialogue. They are #NPCs, and we owe them so much.  

And remember—there's a little NPC in all of us x
