I find it easier to watch behind the scenes videos of a show than to watch the actual show

henlo

cleaning up after everyone else's mess takes ages

It's 8°C and I'm shivering too much to sleep

This toot would work better if English had a future tense

Fun: had
Hot chocolate: having
Sleep: having soon

also, even at these much-faster-than-expected speeds, it's not going to finish downloading for 3 hours, so idk what to do until then

me: oh yeah, Borderlands 2 is like.... 3 or 4 years old now?

*looks it up*

me: holy heck it's 6 years old

this is especially frustrating when you realise we only need around 44 letters to represent english phonetically, so we're learning even more glyphs than we would need
to if we switched to a phonetic system!

I'm anti-capital letters - not in the sense that you shouldn't use them.

But in the sense that they add very little to our current writing system.

We don't have 26 letters in the English alphabet - we have 52, because many capital letters are completely different symbols to their lowercase counterparts:

a → A
d → D
g → G

So we have to learn twice as many symbols, just for names and the first letter of a sentence? Frustrating!

holy carp, 600KB/s???

what kind of arcane magic is steam doing???

maybe I'll actually finish it this time
