An easy way to tell if a story about suicide is written by someone who has dealt with suicidal feelings is in how they portray it emotionally. If not: Grand, operatic despair If yes: "I'm tired..."

A part of character design I'm starting to loathe is when a character acts like a complete cunt, and then the writer drops their backstory on you as if they're trying to make you feel guilty for disliking their cunty behavior. But it never works unless you already liked the character.

Me: "Hmm, how do I establish that this book is going to be heavy?" Me: The youth psychiatrist main character has a morning appointment cancelled because the patient in question is no longer alive.

Jedi on the OT: Geneva Convention Jedi in the Prequels/Clone Wars: Geneva Suggestion Jedi in KOTOR: Geneva's Checklist

Whenever I see someone use the term "Pickme" in regards to women who disagree with them on trivial topics, my first thought is always "Okay, so mommy breastfed you into puberty didn't she?"

I know it's pointless to be annoyed when an entire genre of drama bait channels pop up, because the problem isn't the channels itself it's the mouthbreathing zoomers so desperate for 'tea' to stave off hanging themselves, but could these Youtubers at least take a shower once in a while?

If someone takes a photo of you in the bathroom, beat the ever loving shit out of them.

Funny blast from the past, an ancient controversy someone tried to start over me was by claiming that using Statcounter to measure how many visitors I got on my Tumblr blog, I was "harvesting people's IP Addresses." Someone had to politely inform them that IP addresses have never been private.

I feel like I'm going to regret asking this, but given there's been this weird spike of hateful, blithering nonsense on the playersexual video, did some lunatic have themselves a shitfit over such a milquetoast video?

I really wanted to like Faerin, but she's just yet another "Goodest good lighty light good" that WoW has trailed out for the last few expansions being as interesting as room temperature water. Hey WoW writers? The most beloved Paladin character was a slimy evil bastard (as they should be).

Israel: Bombs Iran unprovoked US: Bombs Iran unprovoked Huh, I wonder why Iran keeps trying to build nukes. I wonder who they need to deter. /s

It's an easy cop-out to think trans people are responsible for our own oppression, because if that was the case, it's something we could have control over and remedy. It's a lot harder to reckon with the reality that a coalition of right wing groups are spending extraordinary money opposing us.

It's always funny when you have the Champion in the backdrop of a cutscene because it always looks like Anevay's thinking "Why do I hang out with you fuckers?"

Playing Syrup 2 for the third time, and I'm torn between 1. Really liking the atypical approach to intimacy with Syrup and Pastille's friendship, with them loving each other very much but without the things we associate with intimacy 2. Crying and screaming for Syrup to hug Pastille just once

Funniest part of the harassment campaign against me was when someone tried to claim my adult behavior was dangerous because "you cover cartoons, your audience is mostly minors." I showed analytics that 4% of my audience are minors. Their response? "that's not reliable data!"

I wrote a character for a thought experiment for a video script that didn't end up panning out, and now I want to write more of that character but I made the mistake of shackling her to a franchise that is unethical to engage with. Extracting her from it is gonna be a lot of work

Once Mikaila moved in, the amount of time I spend at my desk plummeted.

Dragon Age 2: "There's nuance! The mages are dangerous, so we have to lock them in Auschwizard!" Also Dragon Age 2: Templars going kill crazy every six seconds, Templars are said to be raping tranquil mages, one Templar talks about his "final solution to the mage problem."

Where Dragon Age lore ultimately lost me is that it showed me Humans being at their very worst, and everyone else being completely 100% justified in hating or distrusting them, then expected me to save their kingdoms from an apocalyptic scouring pad.

At some point WoW is going to have to acknowledge that the Champion of Azeroth is an all consuming nightmare creature who has so far chewed through all of the most powerful creatures in the cosmos and the gods of several religions.

The population of the Death Star is Zero because killing Nazis is akin to exterminating a cockroach infestation.

Between Attack of the Clones, Clone Wars, KOTOR, KOTOR 2, half the new content in SWTOR, Mandalorian, Bad Batch, Book of Boba Fett, can Star Wars do one of two things? 1. Enough with the Mandalorians. 2. Make them actually interesting?

Not only do they have a bit where everyone bullies Pastille, Syrup even gets chewed out by the wife over it later. Perfect. 10/10. Best game of the decade.
