It comes and goes, but it's a long-term problem for me. In college I called it the hellbrain and it's been happening again even though I haven't even hit a despair threshold, per se

I wonder if anyone else has a problem with their mood severely plummeting at night even if the day was victorious and bright and full of life

dead internet theory isnt even a theory anymore. i use reddit for houseplant stuff and like 25% of all posts are just bot accounts karmafarming with stolen pictures and nonsense captions so they can hit a threshhold and start linking to scam dropshipping sites

Browsing tumblr. Saw a Homestuck post celebrating 4/13. Vivid, brief shock to my system as I remember how I used to be a homestuck and that the cast would be 30 today. Then I go back to normal

I think I dropped at least five references that are over 15 years old today

It's just kinda like... damn! Like okay it's cool to do a big reversal and make you reconsider everything at the final moment. But also wtf

And now I know that if I play Second Son I have to accept that one ending was canon

As a maxed-out good guy I fulfilled my "karmic destiny" but this suuucks

(SPOILERS) And I looked it up but Nix dies no matter what so I almost don't even see the point of replaying as evil, but I will reboot saves to do the evil missions with her

Infamous 2 definitely had me thinking it was a pretty standard good-or-evil schtick up until the last decision of the game which is a WTF

The funniest part about AI is people tripping over themselves to include all the ways it sucks. Using it is insulting, but also remember it doesn't work. Did we mention how it's illicitly training on material without the writer's consent? 40 characters left and I still haven't mentioned the environm

Good lord I miss it sometimes

IT'S GOIN' DOWN, I'M YELLING TIMBERRRRRRR

the 2010s were an amazing decade for pop music when you look back on it

it seems to me like either:

these websites are now run poorly
these webhosting services are run poorly
the internet is haunted by a really mean ghost

This is why it's so very important everyone learn the difference between "apologizing" and "making amends" and not settle for the former when the latter's in order. Very, very, extremely in order.

Also you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to right-wing bloviators. They offer these half-assed apologies whenever their dumb ideas gain real-world traction and then immediately go back to spreading race science and deregulation. The walkbacks are part of the show.

Fin de siècle | Symbolism, Decadence & Aestheticism | Britannica Fin de siècle, of, relating to, characteristic of, or resembling the late 19th-century literary and artistic climate of sophistication, escapism, extreme aestheticism, world-weariness, and fashionable...

*me, nodding along* Wait, DS9 over TNG? Scandalous.

this is what teenagers in movies looked like during the iraq war

(*favourites that I played recently, back when the ps3 was actually new it would've been Mass Effect, Bioshock Infinite, Persona 5, etc)

I'm stickin' to the status Kuo but I realized a few chapters in that Nix is definitely the voice of Judy from Cyberpunk 2077, which makes me think I need to do an evil playthrough for her later

In between long hours as this festival season wraps up I've been playing Infamous 2 on the PS3 and enjoying it. PS3 games just hit different now. Far Cry 4 and Lollipop Chainsaw gotta be my favourites, but Infamous 2 reminds me of Saints Row the Third in a good way

I love grilling for my friends

just in time for pride month, happy to announce I designed the Hot Dog flag

Been working super hard and am enjoying a Me Day. I'm killing time waiting for a matinee of Wuthering Heights to start. Can't wait for some romantic, pretty-on-the-eyes garbage
