So as an Antarctic expert I need to add to this that we had not in fact been to Antarctica when it was named. The ancient Greeks decided that because there was an Arctic at the top of the world, with bears, there had to be an opposite at the other end, without bears. Which is kind of ridiculous except that the fuckers were dead on

It's wild to me that full-featured character customisation has been paraded about for decades in AAA spaces as the true litmus test of whether a game takes open-world play seriously and a lot of them still treat playing as a woman the same way Baldur's Gate treats playing as a gnome.

Which is…?

Conveying the unmistakable impression that the writers assume any player who actually chooses to exercise that option is doing so as a joke.

I'm still fascinated by how horror stories and rhymes are passed on by children from generation to generation. when I was in elementary school, "knock knock knock" and "drip drip drip" were staples of any sleepover or school trip and the former (also known as "man door hand hook car door") apparently originated in the US in the 1950s - I went to school in Germany in the 00s. The latter (also known as "the licked hand") survived a similar geographic and temporal journey to spook me and my classmates back then. Recently, I watched Fritz Lang's "M", which is from 1931 and references a famous serial killer from my hometown from the 1920s. The little rhyme the children sing in the beginning of the film (detailing what the killer will do to your various body parts) was sung in our elementary school cafeteria too.

me, sitting on a throne barechested but wearing ornately engraved plate armor on my arms and legs and cloaked in fine almost translucent silks with an enormous snake draped over my shoulders: i got lost in the fantasy of this dope outfit and forgot what kinda post i was gonna make

Actually watching breaking bad is fucking hilarious. Like for ages walter white has been presented to me as this cool tough smartguy and he’s genuinely the dumbest motherfucker on earth. These business strategies would sink a regular business, he’s fully clueless about the realities and risks of selling illegal substances and just hands those things off to a guy who keeps telling him “dude yo this is a bad idea”

Guy who’s set to make a steady several thousand dollars a day: jesse this isn’t enough we need to raise the price. Jesse go kill this guy. Jesse idc that you’re traumatized we need to use the myth of you killing this guy as a business strategy
