i started playing Disco Elysium and last night (the same day i started playing) i woke up to my stomach hurting so bad that in my delirium i thought it had to do with something from the game.
and looked it up…
i thought this was completely normal until waking up later after the pain was gone.
you’re playing the game better than anyone else has ever played it
i fly like paper get high like planes
researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible
this one is my favourite. it's called a swordbreaker. it looks like a weaponised version of snagging your clothes on a door handle. if you caught my blade in one of these things there isn't a force on earth that could deliver you from my fury.
deliver your fury with what? your sword?
Weird chairs
These are regular chairs to me
Thinking about some of the shit people say while fucking in porn. Like “Yea u like my pussy?” What the fuck is the dude plowing you like a tractor supposed to say to that? No?
No I hate your pussy. I am leaving now. Do not talk to me ever again.
they are making being sloppy illegal
try telling that to him^
do you ever see paleolithic art and go “oh fuck that’s good” like they hadn’t developed agriculture or the wheel but god damn could they paint horses real good
look at this pretty accurate horse art. this is from chauvet cave and is between 31,000 to 28,000 years old.

Someone get me out of here
Look, I'm prepared for a lot in this life, but I was not ready for 360 and PS3 nostalgia, man, what do you mean those consoles are retro, what do you MEAN you were playing them in middle school?
I'll accept PS1 as retro, but past that? Fuck you, that's modern. No console released after 2000 should ever be called retro again. Dreamcast is on thin fucking ice.
PS2 released more than 20 years ago. There are adults with jobs and own offspring that are younger than it.
SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
If i remember it its not retro
The problem is that I'm old enough to remember when "retro" meant "looks and plays entirely differently than modern games in a way you don't see anymore", rather than just "nostalgic"
Whereas PS3/360 being retro means they look and play basically exactly the same as modern games, just with the graphics a bit less vivid.
If you ported a game from the NES onto the Gamecube, it doesn't matter how much you try to improve the graphics, folks would still be able to tell its smaller and lesser than contemporary games. If you tried to port the OG legend of Zelda to gamecube and sell it as a full priced game, folks would laugh at you. If you tried to port The Wind Waker to Switch and sell it as a full priced game, folks would nod and say it sounds like a good deal. Port a game from the PS2 onto the PS5 (the FFX-FFX-2 bundle, for instance, or FFXII: The Zodiac Age, or Persona 3 and 4), and sure there might be some visible seams between where the graphics were natively upscaled and where they weren't, but it will still feel just as big and grand and feature-full as a contemporary game and won't really feel like its missing anything in terms of scale that only later processing advances could have brought.
Hell, Final Fantasy XIV started out on the PS3, still has active content from its PS3 days, and only just got a graphical patch beyond that, and nobody considers it "outdated" or "retro" despite being from a supposedly "retro" console.
cool cool, you like iphone games with anime bikini girls? awesome. and your room is dirty as shit? that fuckin rocks man, hope you find a girlfriend soon, that like, looks like one of the girls. from the game.
Oh fuck off. Bunch of condescending fucks.
all i said is that i hope you find a anime girlfriend. is everything okay dude?
Just today I got to see a chess book that I remember reading as a little kid. While it didn't give me a lifelong passion for chess, it did give me a lifelong passion for fantasy for its artwork.
The book is "Chess for Young Beginners" from 1975, and here's some of the artwork:
Like, this artwork goes hard. I especially appreciate the colour scheme for the black pieces, with its browns, bronzes, reds and oranges.
This artwork is amazing, evocative, exciting and dramatic. I recommend giving it a look if you have a chance - you can probably scrounge up a PDF of this thing with a bit of searching.
Would being called big dog fix me? Who knows?

"What's up, big dog; I'm ratsmacker" is going to live rent free in my head for a little while
