You awake to find yourself standing in the desert.
A road stretches off in either direction perfectly straight, horizon to horizon.
You can't feel your body, but you can see all around.
A bus is coming down the road. You can't move or yell, but it's stopping.
The driver opens the door, and without even looking at you closes it again.
Why did he not pick you up? Why can you not move? What's going on?!
The sun begins to set, and you finally see your shadow, a long thing shadow...
@efi which fictional construct is inspiring you into anger today?
@efi it's even better when the answer is simple and clear, and then the narrator goes "but who can know what the real answer is? Just another one of the mysteries of the universe"
@BatElite true!!!!!!!!!
re: all caps; scream
@YoteDragon the endless sleep is at an end, and the endless screaming has now begun!!!!!
90%* of the DVDs and blurays on my shelf are of shows I had been recommended but never had seen - it was the late 2000s/early 2010s, streaming services didn't exist (in Australia). So if someone recommended a show and it wasn't being broadcast on TV, then the only thing you could do is get the DVD.
(*90% if you exclude my doctor who dvd collection)
Playful and competitive, Viento's day job is to maintain the filters at Spiral Coast that send clean water to Aquatic Park and other stuff elsewhere for processing. He spends most of his time on or under water and often wishes he had someone to share the sights of his underwater world with.
I just suddenly remembered I game I had back as a kid - TV Tycoon.
It was riding on the success of other tycoon games, but it.... didn't have any kind of graphics. It was all just text and menus. And it was basically completely impossible! I tried to play it several times, and every single time my TV station just burned through money until it went bankrupt only a couple of weeks after it started
MTG
I went to the pre-release event for the new magic set, Lost Caverns of Ixalan yesterday with a friend!
(In these events: everyone gets a bunch of packs of random cards, and they have to build a deck out of what they were given. There's then a mini tournament, where you play the decks against each other)
It was my first prerelease and I had a lot of fun. I think also it's a healthy way for me to engage with MTG.
@coriander The cliche of "humanity is inherently evil... so sad.... nothing to be done...." is something that I find more and more grating as I age
Wallace and Gromit MicroFic
the only time Gromit seriously side-eyed Wallace was when Wallace hit a pedestrian and didn't comment on it. He didn't so much as flinch.
Gromit thought about it a lot, and had come to a confused belief that Wallace somehow didn't see it, despite looking directly at the man.
Over time, Gromit slowly convinced himself it never happened, until over a decade later, when Wallace casually noted that a game show contestant was wearing the same jacket as the man he hit.
