  • There’s too many words in this meme that’s making me dizzy from all your fancy science leechcraft, wizard.

    I reject your reality and substitute my own: the feather falls faster. It’s more streamlined than the bowling ball, and thus it slips through the vacuum much faster and does hit the ground and stay on the ground, I think. The ball will bounce at least once, maybe even three times. On each bounce, parts of it probably break off, which change the weight. Thankfully those broken pieces won’t hurt anyone because they’re sucked up by the vacuum. Thus, rendering your dungeon wizard spells ineffective against me.


  • Since you said “up there for sure”, I guess that’s fine. My promise of riot has now simmered into measured acceptance.

    Like you’re at a restaurant waiting for your food. A waiter comes by and you think it’s your order and you start to get excited, but they move in a slightly different angle from you which instantly alerts you that it’s not your order. So now you have to temper your reactions and pretend that you were not fooled that your order was coming to you. This leads to you carefully measuring your movements and reactions in the event someone in the restaurant was observing you, so as not to impress upon them that you, a stranger, were deceived and instead were merely adjusting your posture while you waited patiently. That’s the level of measured acceptance I have right now.

    More seriously though - That’s a game I wanted to try out but never played. On my “next play” list I had Advance Wars on it, so I’ll toss FF Tactics on there to give it a go. I liked Fire Emblem on 3DS, and having not really played SRPGs before I did enjoy FE. Figure FF Tactics might be interesting and fun, so def will give it a go!



  • So the camera is third person, but you of course experience the game through the eyes of Senua! You feel her courage, her fear, and her strength and grit as she pushes forward to solve her problem (no spoilers here).

    While you play as Senua, you also get to hear Senua’s voices. Lots of voices, and it is an eerie and tough experience to get through. They will uplift you, praise you, beat you down, scare you, make you feel rotten. And it’s absolutely best to play this game with headphones - trust me.

    I can’t praise this game enough. For me, it was about an 8.5/10. I only had a few nitpicks with gameplay, but the story beats, heartrending story, wonderful voice and motion-capture acting, musical score, art direction, etc is such an experience.




  • How much did you donate to hurricane relief efforts in Florida?

    Name other celebrities and singers that are donating to hurricane relief efforts in Florida. You can probably name a handful of them (if you care to search the internet and find out). Which means the majority of celebrities and singers are not donating to hurricane relief efforts in Florida.

    Taylor Swift could have chosen not to donate, but she at least gave some money. Could she have given more? Of course! There’s no reason at all she should be a billionaire! But at least she donated $5 million, which will go a long way for providing immediate care and supplies. That’s more than what most persons are doing to help others out in times of tragedy. Most others simply upvote posts, write comments about “thoughts and prayers”, and move on.

    Or they can be negative. I choose to be positive and I’m grateful she did this when she didn’t have to. Those people suffering in Florida need help, so this was a good thing she did.



  • This occurred somewhere in mid 2000-2010 I can’t remember. Tom Cruise was promoting his movie Mission Impossible 3 and was also dating Katie Holmes at the time. I don’t remember the interview much, but he was so excited and in love with her that he was jumping on the couch in excitement and exhibiting this weird energy. At one point he even grabbed Oprah’s hands and was shaking her too in the excitement for his love. I only remember that part vividly because there was a popular animated GIF back in the day where someone edited it so it looked like he was shocking her with Sith lightning, like how Palpatine shocked Mace Windu.
