If you time-travelled back and told 9-year-old me that one day he would like salads...
he would be like, "That's what you came back to tell me?"

hell yes

this sounds like if electroswing was actually good

i mean i like his work in new order but i haven't seen anything that convinces me that bernard sumner is fit to lead a country

NO

i actually checked out the game and did a full run and. you might've just dropped straight into my lap a new podcast game in times of dire need. so thank you

best thing I've ever written

thank you devtesla for writing dungeon meshi

i'm gonna invoke something horrible here so i'm sorry in advance: it hits the same note as the best parts of harry potter. i think it's the worldbuilding: you've written a world, with all of the little tiny details, creating a vivid place such that you want to put yourself in the characters' shoes. kui ryoko arguably did it better than the risible person responsible for harry potter, obviously without all of the baggage so that's very nice.

(in fact you could argue that kui ryoko has the inverse of "baggage" with regard to that topic specifically)

i'm gonna get beat up

oh i'm so sorry i checked out the store page and you didn't literally mean minesweeper

minesweeper

now you've pickweed my interest

weed house

building houses out of weed

this was also mentioned in mia mulder's latest: it's amazing how there are entire sectors such as advertising that are entirely superfluous to human wellbeing

as a proponent of sleeping and hanging out it's always nice to read people smarter than me make rigorous coherent arguments for it

the vote buttons are so big

you don't usually miss out much with super bowl anyway: obviously you can’t judge the super bowl “purely” by “game quality”, whatever that means, because there’s the stakes involved and all of the accoutrements of the show. and cteball’s not a nice sport to watch in the first place. but as with this version, super bowls tend to be very nervous, very tentative games. there’s usually one trick play that people will talk about for a long time but everything leading up to that will usually be sludge.

but this one the kickers did show out. i’m not even trying to joke here: they kicked the ball very far in this one

i love when taylor swift swifted all over these dudes

reminds me of the fake data on the study about dishonesty kerfuffle a while back. (whole site is pretty good actually. here's a four-parter focused on one particular researcher)

...i've genuinely never considered that ahahah. in my mind it's a given that if i got a new laptop i'll just use it for encoding and if the battery's non-removable then well it's fried lol. but yeah that's probably. that's probably an obvious available option to a third party reading what i wrote, huh

"People have reached out and asked how they can help, but I don’t know how you can help unless you have a 200ft tower and an AM transmitter."

when you've got a good premise everything else just writes itself

this brings to mind hpmor, which... i actually enjoyed when i read through it a while back. it did suffer from "forgetting to be a story"; better writers probably could avoid that pitfall.

those are some very nice chords
