I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

Fun Fact: Ducks are often seen standing still in the rain. Most think it’s because their waterproof feathers keep them dry and that staying still helps conserve energy, but we have our own theory🦆🌧️🐥 #naturalhabitok #naturalhabitat #naturalhabitatshorts

I hate being an Aussie & waking up after some Big Dumb Shit happened because I have to figure it out in reverse as I go through my time line. Can you all do the Big Dumb Shit when I'm awake & can figure out if I care or not in real time? Plus predicted this last year.

I think demotivational posters are the first meme format I can remember as a kid? Not like funny one off things, those were plentiful, but the first structured joke format.

This rules for a lot of reasons, but especially because it dispels the myths that A.) old games were never political and B.) games like this are just stories, they aren't "about" anything. Should serve as a reminder to anyone writing about games why we should be close reading 'em.
