so this is a thing that happened last night/this morning:

https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1267855000274944001

my discord friends are basically live-blogging everything they come across, and i'll be sure to do much better about sourcing what i say from here on.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpa-Zb0ZcQjTCPP1Dx_1M8Q this guy right here. he's a civil lawyer in several states, and is really passionate about law, to the point where even though i wouldn't want to be a lawyer now or ever, i really want to be a lawyer now. it's wild.

i said what i said. i'm not going to air out the laundry so you can ban me. and i don't even have to pay attention to what you have to say.

some bullshit

And then 2020 did get worse.

so your panties are still in a twist. fair, honestly, our last real conversations weren't exactly great, with you being you, and i was too immature and inexperienced at effectively communicating what i wanted out of you and forgiving you for shit you didn't say sorry for, i mean. that's honestly on me, for getting worked up about it after the fact. but what did you really expect, with the age gap and all? just curious.

there's footage of cops, in full riot gear no less, protesting the murders by smashing cop cars floating around somewhere from this morning. or so i have heard, edit because i'm a sourceless bitch.

There's plenty of cops doing property damage, but they're not protesting shit. They're intentionally making a bad situation worse by instigating violence to give themselves and excuse to use excessive force. There's also footage of cops delivering pallets of bricks to planned protest sites to encourage protesters to throw them, for the same reason. Absolutely zero people wearing a badge (or hiding it under plain clothes) are your friends. There are no exceptions. All cops are shit-eating pigs who deserve everything bad in life.

i was doing the thing where you fake misunderstand the best moral fiber of everyone involved specifically because it's that outrageously stupid, but okay i guess.

A gush of wind and a noisy thump betrayed the door letting in yet another poor soul. In the doorway stands a boy, maybe 11 to 12 of age, unkempt black hair and round glasses only barely holding together with some tape. He's wearing red and yellow striped scarf and a ridiculous looking black robe, both stained and scruffy. In his forehead there's a very visible scar shaped like runic "s".

Excuse me, I was looking for the platform 9 3/4 and got terribly lost. Do you mind if I use the bathroom?

extremely belated pointing lI'L BITCH!! lunges while sputtering incoherently

FUCKIN GONNA..... MAYONNAISE YOUR FACE

OR WHATEVER

last year, i wrote some song lyrics, when depression hadn't taken that hope of making music away from me yet (cuz depression takes everything away in the end, ya dig), and this resonates with that. here they are, though rough, and i can move them to a new thread if you like.

bellies up to the bar, saggy tiddies distressingly unsupported 'lo barkeep. can i get a, uh, oh what'd you call it, that thing you say is good that you offer? i'm in rough shape. i've been damned by a um. shit whatr- demon! damned by a demon, to be always forgetting what words i need in the uhhhh short period of time when words come out. it's a real.... squints angrily thingy, possibly starts with an H.

*slides a Crystal Pepsi & Coke down the bar - the foamy head sloshes over as you catch the mug*

Ah yes, you're not the first to complain of the Harry Potters. They have been terrorizing the roads recently, some say they are ruled by some sinister force or screen actor's guild, hidden deep within the Dank Forest.

A Harry Potter only has like 4 hit points, but mercy, there are a lot of them. Their danger is their numbers. Be on your guard.

vigorous nodding, followed by somehow clumsy slurping fuckin harry potters, man.

Khajiit lore was great. But now we've moved on to pretending to care about Nord lore, while really caring about vampire lore. For some stupid reason.

Don't get me wrong, the Gray Host stuff is really cool and I'm glad someone dug that out of the archives to give it another look. And the implications of what the Host are doing is...interesting, to say the least. But at the same time, there's only so many variations we can have on vampires and I honestly cannot take a gothic castle in Blackreach even the tiniest bit seriously. Did the landscaping devs do a wonderful job on it? Absolutely, they always kill it and I bet it was a blast to work on. But fuck me, it's so fucking stupid conceptually.

Even worse, the ending of the DLC suggests two things. 1, they're going to the Reach with the Q4 DLC. And two, it's still going to be focused on vampires. This means less time spent on the Reachmen, which means almost invariably more "herp-a-derp Reachmen are evil don't overthink it" writing. There's literally one non-evil Reachman in the entire game, and that's done entirely to emotionally manipulate you when faced with the choice of killing him or a Nord soldier to advance the storyline.

Perhaps I'll be wrong. But given the importance of the Reach to the overall plotline of ESO (their conquest of Cyrodiil set many of the chain of events into motion, not to mention they are primary enemies in at least four major zones and two DLC dungeons), they really deserve an entire chapter devoted to them, at the very least to give them the chance to tell their side of the story. But they won't get one, if Q4 is the Reach and not Whiterun/The Pale/Winterhold.

all of this sounds stupid and dumb, and does a disservice to what could have been a really good story. Thanks, Bethesda, I hate it!

actually, Fred has been popping in to #discord now and then. She's doing ok, living with her BF in Texas, flipping burgers like a good sacrificial essential worker.

hell yeah. i mean, sucks about Texas and being a sacrificial worker, but it's good to hear she's doing okay.

No. Just a reminder: Tucson reality distortion victims are under NO circumstances to be used for carbon media. Any carbon media.

The results are unstable, and despite stories to the contrary, just because the energy emitted is green in color does NOT mean that it is good for the environment. In fact, the results on the environment after exposure can be seen by visiting Tucson's Croatian District.

Can't find it? You might need a fifth dimensional tour guide. If you start seeing the iron pillars spearing down from the sun, you're at least close by.

too bad that roast beef guy didn't stick around, because all this is just true facts and he could've benefitted from altered's weirdly acccurate knowledge

somethings in the water recently around here

recently?.~

A few oldtimers have returned recently. I expect Fred or Malachite to show next.

FRED!  I wonder what she's been up to.

No idea. Weird to think she would be in her 30s now.

she'd be 32, she's same age as me.

i went on a pokemon go bender for two months, culminating in me going outside in the middle of the day for two hours this past friday and getting heat stroke. now i'm just playing pokemon mystery dungeon blue ROM for the 80th time. pokemon is great, and you can fight me if you like but it won't change anything.

also i'm high-key mad i don't have a pc capable of playing ESO now, because all the khajiit lore was really exciting to read.
