I need to [remembers I shouldn't make suicide jokes] join a whaling crew
i love to make fun of notorious white woman Taylor Swift and all of her embarrassing attempts to appear deeper than a plate of soup.
happy to announce that this post is at the top of the taylor swift tag, meaning this is the most widely shared opinion regarding Taylor on this website at the moment.
Imagine being Todd howard and being unable to escape obsidian being a pebble in your shoe.
You buy fallout and make fallout 3. You get Liam Neeson to voice in it. It's game of the year, people say it's great but ultimately more of a Bethesda game than a fallout.
Obsidian makes new Vegas and it's set up to fail. It doesn't. It's a broken mess but people say the inverse: it's a broken mess, but this is a real fallout game, and people ask you when they're going let that studio make another good one more than when fallout 4 comes out.
So you make fallout 4 which people generally agree is really fun! The role playing is basically non existent, but people enjoy it... But people still ask about obsidian and new Vegas.
So obsidian makes outer worlds which Microsoft eventually buys them for. It's... Fine! It's fine! The general consensus is "this is a pretty good first one of these!" and people are more happy because Bethesda RPGs can be made by someone who isn't Bethesda. Looking forward to 2 with all that Microsoft money!
So you make starfield. It's going to be the biggest one EVER. You get bought out by Microsoft and it's the biggest deal EVER (for now). You get a huge marketing push. The hype cycle is real. This is it. Your moment when you get to show everyone why you're king of this niche mountain.
It comes out and the best RPG to come out that year is an old fashioned D&D game that Microsoft had no faith in. The game Microsoft took a gamble on and bought the studio is a lazy soulless mess that gets in its own way. It gets no awards, no accolades, and who knows if it turned a profit (I assume it did with the marketing, but they're not bragging about numbers), while baldurs gate 3 SWEEPS and outer worlds turns out to be a better starfield than starfield is.
It will be very funny if Avowed is a breakout hit this year.
Goodreads 1 star reviews complaining about how the book was trying to be "edgy". Babes you picked up a book about sci-fi necromancers with a cover of an aviator-wearing skull-painted lesbian and you weren't expecting to run into any edge lords or emos? That's not the book's fault, that's a skill issue
ppl using ahh instead of ass is the corniest shit ever like it actually pisses me off a little
white person online: yoooo bro was uhhh bro be like ..... goofy ahh bro be stupid ahh
Related best(?)/worst of aave struggle tweets
Unrelated to "ahh" specifically but these two are like the Hindenburg Disasters of aave misuse so I had to post them too
Spotlight: Mik!
Will Mik choose to accept the dark gifts from the demon Greed or be strong enough to keep it at bay?
If we reach the next stretch goal of our Kickstarter campaign for Tales of Alethrion - Season 3 you'll be able to find out:
We only have 3 days left of this campaign, so it is the last chance to support our campaign 🪕
But back to Mik - a happy-go-lucky bard who travels from town to town, enjoying a good tale that he can put into lyrics and melodies and inspire heroes and crowds all over the realm. His muse, Ken, was a trusted friend who did the damage, while Mik did the singing.
Mik's adventure started in Tohan when he and Ken received a treasure map from the OG iconic duo, Wilhelm and Vito. They then traveled the realm thin before finally finding the X on the map. They found a huge treasure and a mysterious chest. This chest was unfortunately opened and a great evil called Greed was released. This became the end of Ken and the beginning of what could be a dark pact between Mik and Greed...

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.
That's love. 🐈⬛🐈❤️
cats are so very unclear on what is wrong with us but they want to help
Last time I had a really bad migraine my cat curled herself round my head and purred sympathetically, and actually stayed there through two of her normal mealtimes. It wasn't until I was able to stagger to the kitchen and grab a protein bar for myself that she gave a very small, polite miaow to the effect of "while you're up... could you get something for me too?"
