now I just need a way to not have to be burning CDs all the time and I’ll be all set

I have a lot of blank CDs if you need to come and get them, I have a bit of a compulsion about whenever they’re left in my building’s garbage room

I also think I still have a selfboot inducer build environment

this is the great fantasy adventure idea I would steal if it wasn’t essentially what I was already doing (magical mcguffins that define the nature of the world, their loss causing the world to break apart into unreason)

Whenever I see a dog in a game I make a point of running the opposite direction. I’ve never really been a dog person and I ain’t gonna start now.

I didn’t lie to myself about when I was going to bed after seeing this.

“Please don’t go. The drones need you, they look up to you.”

Maybe not “a lot” but definitely periodically;

someone just reminded me about GIF, the mascot from Western Australia’s premier name in mid 2000s abandoned video game stores, Hitech World

…and who, turns out, was straight up traced from a Dirty Pair comic

Pretty sure “CARTOON WOMAN HEAD/SHOULDERS, HAIR COVERS EYE” is what’s on my Canadian immigration paperwork :thinking:

since I’ve been replaying Death Stranding, I have gone online and found a lot of people talking about it and sharing screenshots and stuff. But there’s this genre of screenshot that DS encourages you to take and it looks an awful lot like this:

funny thing to me is how this kind of picture in DS doesn’t want to elide the hauling and dredge work that needs to happen for these pictures to take place, which is obviously not the case at all in rich person instagram selfies

this type of image was also used in promotional material (this one is specifically an anime reference i think)

It’s referencing defense trade shows where arms dealers show off all the munitions you can mount on their shit
