Really helps put things into perspective

The world map from a fish’s perspective

Often a person believes himself to be so wise
and believes to gain highest fame thereby,
when the juice of the grapes has affected him negatively. 
The next one believes that he is so rich
that even the emperor might not be an equal to him. 
The third appears like an extremely hungry horse,
so no one can push enough of fresh or rotten food into the ever open mouth. 
The fourth one screams cries over his heavy sins,
and his heart is passionately in flames out of deep repentance
for strange reasons that no one can comprehend. The fifth one desires to do unchaste actions,
to which he is dedicated day and night,
once he has become addicted to the power of wine. The sixth has a miserable practice: He condemns the soul through [false] oaths so that she will be entirely exhausted when facing God.

The seventh is ready to fight, he growls like a dog held by a chain and who barks all the time; its round head is ready for a fight. The eighth becomes so happy out of drunkenness that he is ready to sell his honor, property, wife, and children; the evilness of drunkenness shows in him. The ninth helplessly becomes crazy, everything that he knows, sees, or hears, he presents openly to everyone. The tenth fights against sleep. The eleventh sings wild songs and screams totally uninhibited both in the evening and in the morning. The twelfth becomes so drunk from heavy drinking that he feels the alcohol already at the top portion of his throat and voluntarily pays a tribute to the innkeeper.

The “conspiracy theory” meme from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where a character is pointing at a messy wall of notes and photos with arrows drawn on them. Except that the character is Nintendo’s Luigi, wearing his white gloves. I spent entire minutes photoshopping this, so I hope you appreciate it.

Good morning BlueSky! I was drafting this post yesterday when the news of more #layoffs hit, and I couldn’t find the heart to finish. But I’m going to plow through. What’s going on in #gaming right now? Let’s look at some charts and data. A 🧵!
