ublock origin is great and so don't take this the wrong way but I've never understood why it doesn't have a they-live mode where instead of removing the ads altogether they get rendered as greyscale messages like "OBEY" / "CONSUME" / "DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY"

SUPPORT FOR MY THEORY THAT IF YOUR GAME IS MID AS FUCK OR EVEN SUCKS BUT IF YOU STICK THE ENDING PEOPLE LIKE IT MORE

i bet uncompressing a zip feels really good for the files inside

I'm really struck by reviews calling Jesse Faden "normal" because she lacks the bravado and zest of typical videogame female protagonist, specifically telling that she's "youthful" and "normal", like Whitelight does.

I've been playing Control and through my entire playtrough, DLCs and such, I was extremely convinced that Jesse is fucking autistic or at least in some way neurodivergent and found it to be utterly exciting.

so i did something totally insane. the local electronics store was closing down and so i (and two friends) purchased THEIR ENTIRE STOCK OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. and today i finally finished organizing my share into these 12 cabinets. 🧵

ai;dr - ai, didn't read

This is a draft.

but it's such a weird mismatch because in terminator sarah connor was attacked by a time traveling killer robot from the future sent to kill her unborn chosen one hero son. so it makes sense that she went fucking apeshit making preparations and training her son to fight.

in halloween, laurie strode avoided murder in a home invasion. not downplaying the trauma of that but the idea that she and michael are cosmically linked is a real stretch. good thing they didn't hinge an entire trilogy on that

it's kind of crazy how much halloween 2018 is just terminator 2. like they even put jamie lee curtis in the linda hamilton fit

Memory manufacturers must be stopped, this is an unholy crime against the order of the universe.

once upon a midnight dreary
while I wandered, weak and weary
to a quaint and curious icebox door
when I spotted what I had been craving
the plums that you were probably saving
for your breakfast, I am sure
forgive me please, I do implore
I ate those plums and nothing more
