If the name of a file is a part of that file, then this would be some type of synecdoche, I suppose.

What's the name for the rhetorical device of using a filename, or hypothetical filename, to stand for a bit of media? E.g., if I just typed

darth-vader-noooooo.gif

or, alternatively,

sad-trombone.mp3,

the meaning comes across through common (sub)cultural currency, without my actually including a picture or a sound.

10. I don't own anything in rainbow colors. My preferences for the colors around me are very specific and don't include red, yellow or orange.

You suddenly realize you left Earth.exe open over night. What was supposed to be a simple simulation has instead generated a "Humans" folder that is rapidly increasing in size.

I just realised that people who use Whatsapp more than Telegram have never stopped having people's numbers

this gets weirder the more I think about it.

I mean my Telegram name is inconveniently long, too, but

okay I have no excuse and I should change it but yes my point is I'm right.

Phone numbers are so weird. I thought we were over them, but the fact that Signal uses them means both that I don't use Signal a lot and that I should probably start collecting people's numbers again. This feels so retro. What is next, actually talking to people by voice?

Tbh I used to be very much into the lucid dreaming fandom (not lucid dreaming itself, necessarily…) and all I remember is some mp3 that had water noise or music or something and a voice saying "I will remember to check my reality" over and over x)

…Life is Strange is actually a LOT more fun then it sounded to me when people told me about it

For some reason Steam always thinks I'd enjoy some Deponia sequels. I have never enjoyed any game less than Deponia. Ever. Ugh.

…ah but it's also the only game that I ever finished, soooooo ok I guess I can see where that comes from.

Ok so Life is Strange Episode 1 is free on Steam. I wasn't planning to play that ever because it doesn't sound like a thing I'd enjoy, but eh, I guess, why not :>

Update, "Storm Season" turned out to be a really nice book that I enjoyed a lot even though it's not a genre that usually works for me. Everyone is queer and I wanted them all to be happy, which kind of happened.

I went and liked some negative reviews of The Magicians on Goodreads, now I feel better

ugh, forgetting to mark an image nsfw is such an annoying thing *goes back to not-sleep-but-whatever*
