Yikes! It’s a good thing rabies shots are extremely effective, even if… quite unpleasant, I hear. I had a weird special interest in rabies for a while, even though we don’t have it here…
Anyway random internet stranger, hope your arm heals up alright. Dog bites can be seriously no joke.

Incidentally, watching videos of myself a few minutes after filming them is wild. I do so many things - movements, expressions - I have no awareness of.

I don’t get it, are people not allowed to spend their own money or something? Are you a class traitor for not being broke or having some savings?
What a stupid thing to even care about. It just sounds like jealousy wrapped up in righteousness.

Yes! To be honest, more of us need to make new third spaces on our own initiatives rather than waiting around for others to do it, or for new friends to appear from nowhere.
I think society would be better for it if we all thought about how to congregate in place of traditional third spaces.

Hell yeah!
The other day I was shocked when I tried to move my hand past my other arm and was confused when I encountered an actual bicep. I’ve been such a bag of skin and bones my whole life I was surprised to learn I was (contrary to popular belief) born with muscles!
Thanks stupid pool!

You know, this strongly reminds me of fandom discourse. It’s insufferable and relentless when it gets going, and rarely has any actual bearing on anything (except making people tribalistic, righteous-feeling or miserable, often all three at the same time).

I figured out that a better replacement for the stupid gym was the stupid local pool. No regrets on that switch! Much more fun.

Mate you lot did us a massive solid during the Black Summer. I went to Canada at the tail end of that hell and was on the same flight out as a group of Canadian firies. The flight attendant announced them in the terminal and they got a standing ovation before boarding. We’ve got you fam!

I think power vacuums are nastier than people realise because most of us have never had to live in one, at least not large scale. But hoooo boy.

This is what gets me, too. We have all this discussion of burning down The System, and none of what will be done about the power vacuum that results in. I do think some systems do need to be burned down (sometimes), but what the hell do you do after that?!
You can’t just go in with no answer.

Just a random internet stranger wishing you a good time at the Game Fest, but also, stay safe. 🤞

I never got a foothold on twitter (tried multiple times, but everyone felt either argumentative or fake). Glad I never did, given the cesspit it became.

I can’t get over how little it’s frame skipping asdfghjkl.
Playing SV conditioned me to tolerate sooo much frame jump that it almost seems unnatural without it.

I rented this game back in the day and I remember it being so hard I couldn’t finish it. T-T
Eventually watched all the cutscenes patched together though, very entertaining!

Ahahaha, RIP Ratchet’s original personality and sense of humour. T-T

This is the first I’ve heard of this game, but I’m interested immediately

You only needed to look at his profile to know that he is from the UK.

Pratchett of course cannot refute him posthumously, conveniently. He must be rolling in his grave.

He did reply to me, but it is what it is. Just a bit ick.

It definitely adds to the “Gaiman is a narcissist and this was his cozying up and riding coattails regardless of how the person felt about it” argument!
I sent asks to Gaiman on tumblr now and then before the allegations. I didn’t see the narcissism before, but I definitely can on reflection.

Legend. Thank you for compiling these threads and doing the research! When I started hearing that Pratchett might not have been as close to Gaiman as Gaiman implied the other day, it all suddenly clicked in my head that it was one sided. The stuff you posted really drives it home.

I haven’t got the source (forgive me), but I did see that another author/(friend of Pratchett?) was told by Pratchett that he wished he never worked with Gaiman. It’s hardly damning (could be all kinds of reasons) but certainly makes you wonder if the “friends” thing was just… lies.

Tbh, I am keeping his books, but not on display (yuck), to psychoanalyse to death once I am better qualified.

I was thinking this! From the perspective of studying psych, all the through lines are there, and yet I never suspected a thing until I heard the news. It’s like getting blindsided by a plot twist that was subtly advertised from the very beginning.

Simple method I use for relational anecdoting:
- It shouldn’t be worse. Because that is shorthand for “I have it worse, so why are you complaining?
- It also shouldn’t be a lot lighter. That means you don’t really understand.
Gotta aim for something with the same weight as the person’s trial.
