my dreams that I can remember these days generally involve beautiful and fantastical landscapes full of wonders that I want to run off and explore but I can’t, b/c it’s always my last day there and there’s always a giant mess I don’t remember making which I’m still obligated to clean up before we go back home, so I can go have fun or I can go and be a responsible goddamn adult for a change instead of a lazy womanchild I always end up being an adult, sorting garbage piles that never really diminish, and wake up with a dull ache in my chest and a crummy mood onboard and that, friends, is what waking and baking is for

one time I dreamt from a top-down perspective strongly reminiscent of the Legend of Zelda: ALink to the Past, as somehow both player and character. it was pretty dope, 10/10 would visit Hyrule again

Dimebags Brain posted:So are there really people out there who don't spend every moment of every day feeling miserable and having every little thing set them off into a cascading sense of even more miserableness until it's the end of the day and they're crying themselves to sleep? And if there are and they're posting in this thread how can I stop feeling this way? I have benefited significantly from the decision I made a few years ago to  . It may well help you too! In any event I hope your brain starts treating you better

coconono posted:unlike previous entries in the series, Skyrim doesn't let you over-encumber yourself from grabbing EVERY SINGLE THING in the obligatory intro dungeon escape sequence. Why yes I really do need 370 skulls, 27 ladles, and 15 empty wine bottles. hey now, I’ll have you know that those skulls, ladles and empty bottles netted me a whole 420 gold (after I threw in two balls of yarn and all the sack cloth pants I could loot) and all it cost me was my utterly worthless time

the last time I saw anything in theaters, it was The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. the two things I remember best from the experience are (1) like a half loving goddamned shitblasting assbiting hour of ads before the show itself (2) how thoroughly the film just completely dropped the ball in terms of characterization of some of the cast (except maybe I think Mos Def as Ford, and Marvin), which is the one thing that any adaptation of h2g2 needs to get right maybe it’s just my depression having snuck in through a mental backdoor of mine, but there’s just not a lot of media in general that really hooks me in of late, except for professional wrestling

on the bright side, the stuff I can enjoy I really do enjoy, like a new Flaming Lips album, or my off-and-on attempts to improve my mediocrity at Binding of Isaac on the 3DS it’s been a while since I’ve played it on Steam, but I used to be pretty mediocre at that version too

Oh, I know Wedge! Who doesn’t know the name of that Magitek Soldier who brings Terra to the Narshe mines so that he and his partner could snare that esper e: or are you talking about the dude in Norstein Bekkler’s circus/lab/dungeon? I’d want some context to narrow it down but I’m pretty sure it’s one of those two, being as expert as I am in the Space Wars movie films :smugdalek:

I just got to watch the entire Chuck Jones version of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, one of a select few pieces of Christmas-specific media that doesn’t bring my own inner green-furred curmudgeon to the fore, and it made my holiday evening that much nicer then I had to go right back to the Yule log channel because it was followed by that cg knockoff with Benedict Cumberbatch. Bah! What soulless 3D-rendered humbug!

anyone else here read P.G. Wodehouse? Because if you dig some lighthearted, precision-engineered comic farce set among the well-to-do upper-crust set in 1920s England, this just might be your jam (as well as mine) he wrote a shed load of books, but there’s no need to be intimidated; they’re easy reads in my experience and it’s not like there’s ~deep lore~ you’ll miss if you approach them out of order. Most anything Jeeves and Wooster is great, including the TV adaptations featuring Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, although one of my personal favorites is my first Wodehouse novel, set at Blandings Castle, Service With a Smile. I just realized I don’t even know if you can buy those digitally. I stand by my recommendation nonetheless

I read what Cavauro posts. I don’t always understand what he’s getting at, mind you, but I generally figure it’s because I’m missing something, not because of anything wrong at his end, so I got no beef with him. Besides, I’d be not at all surprised if my own posts baffled others from time to time. If I made perfect sense 100% of the time, I’d be crazy

I have a little plush Snorlax that came to me randomly, among the supplies my mom got from the shelter with one of our foster kittens. I switched it out for a more kitten-friendly and less fragile toy, and it sits on the table next to my chair at home obviously I empathize deeply with the sleepy, hungry, large lazy cat-thing who can tank a big hit and sleep off the damage

CobiWann posted:I just got the most original compliments on my smut writing. sounds like a good thing from where I’m sitting.  Back in my day, I had to learn things like that from lurking LiveJournals that riffed on lovely porny fanfiction excerpts besides, I think it’s good to set a standard that demands at least those nods toward realism, imo. It’s probably better than inadvertently training people to expect “explosions” and what not in unrelated news, after putting it off for several years I finally filled out my application for a diploma from community college. It should arrive in the mail in a few days  I might even go back to school for another couple of years, since I tend to thrive in an academic milieu and it’s a good way to expand one’s skill set, but first comes establishing more personal independence on a couple of fronts tl;dr: giving myself one of those extra-  thumbs up in a manner not unlike that of Orange Cassidy

hey is this the thread in which I admit to being a lapsed writer who struggles with the worth of her own prose? Well I just did anyway, so maybe I should also use this post to commit to writing more in the coming year, so I won’t have completely wasted the time you spent reading this! Is that all right?

my diploma got here earlier today! I didn’t remember specifically getting through with honors, but I got more than enough credits so I suppose they can just count the best ones  my freshly minted associate’s in English gives me the official authority to criticize other people’s spelling and grammar on the internet, so, you know, watch out tl;dr I am drunk with knowledge, which as you all know is power (I am also high, with legal marijuana, but I’d be doing that anyway)

Bluedeanie posted:Penny Dreadful is like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but with horror and fuckin', if thats your jam It is, and how, but be warned: it ends...abruptly, at least as far as I can say without spoiling things. Not as abruptly or unsatisfyingly as, say, Carnivale, but I followed Penny Dreadful around when it aired at the time and, well, it hurt a bit. It's so seldom I let any television series past my protective layers of cynicism and anhedonia and into my heart, and I don't want to see others blindsided by heartbreak like I was

my day-to-day hasn’t actually changed much, because I am lazy and largely useless; but all my plans to go back to college and parlay that into a real and actual job with which to take care of myself and my parents are currently, to put it gently, gigafucked and my mom has surgeries she’s waiting to get done, too, so there’s that but hell, it could always be worse. we could live in a state without legal weed, for example

coconono posted:landlords do not deserve nice things. if they have nice things, it is your duty to take them. my childhood home was a rented crackerbox palace—objectively a poo poo shack, but a cheap one, and my parents improved it significantly over my childhood (because he was several states away and couldn’t be reached and/or bothered; he’d also hold on to the rent check for months at a time, which occasionally became a problem). After my mom and I moved out, my father got sick and missed a payment, at which point the landlord immediately started the eviction process and also left my mother (who was helping my father move out) a voicemail in which he called her a name that even UK people would blanch at using about a lady. the upshot of this is not only did my parents tear out as many of the home improvements they’d put in as they could, my mother also got a home inspector to condemn the place and I hope that getting it back up to code loving hurt him all of which is my excruciatingly long-winded way of saying

I’ve had different ones over the course of my life, but every so often I have to sit down and listen through my current favorite album, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips. sometimes The Soft Bulletin, too, but Yoshimi was my first Flaming Lips album and its balance of uplift and melancholy does good things for my soul. anyway, here’s a YT playlist for that very album, and if you can’t make time for the whole thing I recommend at least trying the song “Do You Realize??” because it’s my favorite

cold-brewed teas are my current favorite for keeping hydrated. not that I don’t still love carbonated drinks and popular colas, but the teas are cheaper. also since I’ve started drinking it regularly I’ve shed like ten or fifteen lbs without even trying so hell yeah, gonna make me a gallon of jasmine tea later and it’s going to be delicious

if we’re talking videogames we’ve bought recently, I indulged myself with Super Metroid for my 3ds and I’m particularly enjoying the experience. I bounced off the game before when I tried playing it on my computer via emulator, but then I watched a Let’s Play of the game which persuaded me to try again

condolences on being jerked around by the glorious free market of medical care, coconono, but I’m glad you and your family avoided calamity apropos of nothing, I decided a few weeks ago to finish my late grandfather’s last bottle of brandy. I take around a sip a day, and not even every day, because I am not at all a regular drinker of alcohols I can really taste the notes of maple and vanilla, even as it makes me feel like I’m breathing fire for like half a minute
