Two games managed to show me it was all over. There wouldn't be any turning back. No rolling a new character for a fresh start, no "maybe I'd be a lot happier in this marriage on ‘Very Easy.'" These games, which were very different from one another, weren't the problem, but they were certainly illustrative.

amazing.

this piece is loving dire.

There is a spark in my life, thankfully. If there wasn't, I probably wouldn't have made it to today, to be honest. I have a boyfriend now (and I've had him for over a year now, so you do that math—I'm a cheating cheater (my husband had been, too), and while that isn't the only thing that made us fall to pieces, it certainly is among the reasons).

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
I didn't want to believe the signs laid out before my eyes, that the man I loved was a cheater, but when I saw his Shadows of the Empire file name was " Wampa Stompa" I knew I could ignore it no longer.

My only memory of this poster is from a thread where some goon was doing an LP of a heavily modded version of XCOM (original). The mod had a bunch of different art cribbed from various cyberpunk type games/sourcebooks for the backgrounds of different promotion screens, some if which were fairly cheesecake-y.

They got increasingly mad about pixel cleavage, leading to this post:

Cythereal posted:

Well, good to know this mod is made by children.

Please strike me from the roll of troopers.

Which is silly, because unnecessary boobs clearly means the mod was made by adolescents.

the way she writes i wouldn't be shocked it was edited in hastily afterward to clarify.

that's genuinely sub-high school writing. the start-stop commas, too many adjectives, too many "I"s, unnecessary - or : use, and the double bracketing. all she's trying to say is "my new relationship is beneficial, even if it started as an affair", but that's like, typical loser rebound behaviour so she has to stretch it to "i maybe could've possibly DIED if i didn't cheat maybe sorta"
