What if Saturn's son just tasted really good

Bombaby Bicycle Club - Eat, Sleep, Wake (Do a Big Poo)

It's Leeroy Jenkins tanking the global economy and killing schoolchildren. The most impeachable act of a presidency made up of daily impeachable acts.

Still reeling at this. The US made a HUGE gamble that the Iranian regime would topple when they killed Khamenei—everything depended on that! Now we have a global economic shock and there are NO outcomes to this war that don't leave the US markedly worse off than before. It's all just so DUMB.

Of all the "once-in-a-lifetime" historic events that have happened in my lifetime this is definitely the stupidest.

I heard a story once about a guy who had too much to drink at a local pub, wet himself standing at the bar, then looked the barman in the eye and said "I want answers".

Simpsons meme: "Stop! He's already dead!"

Today in Lord of the Rings news:

We're down to the final three folks.

Five Ring the Second Bell

Combination of an 8 PM coffee followed by this hotel's fire alarm going off at around midnight means that I am now about as far from being able to sleep as I've ever been at 1:30 AM.

Something about 'Goldfinger' (the theme song) tickles me. It's like, by the end even Shirley Bassey is getting exasperated by the premise, so she decides to just shout the crux of it a couple of times to wrap up: HE LOVES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!

Re-reading The Silmarillion and this time trying to remember who the hell all these names are

Remember, kids: Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout: New Vegas comprise one of the greatest video game trilogies of all time.

Fallouts 3 and 4 also exist and are entertaining in their own way.

We could be optimistic and hope that remasters of FO3 & NV are being worked on concurrently and will release together. I don't think that's an INSANE idea, since New Vegas uses the same engine and many of the same visual assets as 3.

But if we only get one, it will be 3.

This is tantalising—and given the success of Oblivion Remastered we'll probably see a New Vegas remaster sooner or later—but I will eat my hat if they don't remaster Fallout 3 first.

I don't want it, but it's what they'll do.

The Simpsons 'Where's Poochie?' meme. It says: 'Whenever the other two Istari aren't on screen all the other characters should be asking "Where are the blue Wizards?"'

Had this saved to my phone and can't remember why I made it

🎵 Didn't we almost have it aaaall

Love the idea of him breathing a sigh of cathartic relief after the courier leaves with the Vault Suit. Then a few hours later he goes to the Goodsprings General Store and sees Chet hanging it on the wall

Headcannon is that he's been looking at them for years, desiring revenge, not liking the dark place that this takes his mind to, but not wanting to throw them out either because they're a memento of her. He coincidentally decides to move on and get rid of them just before the Courier is brought in.

I love New Vegas dearly but it's always bugged me how at the end of the tutorial Doc Mitchell is like "here have my old Vault Suit and Pip Boy" even though your character has no connection to a vault.

When you're waiting all day for a package delivery and keep glancing down the road to see if it's coming

Absolutely fantastic synthesis of music and visuals in Balatro. Hypnotic, impish soundtrack promoting deep focus; the slightest hint of menace in each joker's smile as they lure you deeper into the flow state.

After finally hitting A20 on Slay the Spire I've returned to Balatro as my go-to game, which is nice because there's loads to do but no clearly defined end goal for me to go insane in the pursuit of.

20% of Istari think that they could take on a Balrog.

~1% of Elves think that they could take on an Oliphant.

100% of Hobbits think that they could take on second breakfast.

Now I'm imagining a riff on this YouGov infographic to show the percentage of Elves/Hobbits/Dwarves who think they could take on a troll, a warg, a dragon...

There's a Goldilocks zone between "big enough to cause the abandonment of Dale" and "small enough that thirteen brave (or foolhardy) dwarves think they could have a go".

I'd say bigger than a lion but smaller than an elephant.

A dragon would be terrifying and formidable if it were only as big as a lion. A Smaug the size of an airliner is just bonkers. It makes no sense! What did the dwarves think they were going to do to him when they reached Erebor!?

Thinking (regrettably) about The Hobbit movies:

They made Smaug TOO DAMN BIG man.

Nine years ago I worked at a school, and while I don't miss much about it (least of all getting up at 6:30 every morning for the commute) I did just experience a pang of yearning for the coffee machine in the staff room.
