Astrophysicists should study restaurant servers because istg they break the speed of light after they drop the check and run away while you're visibly trying to hand them your card.

So is Lune useless for everyone or just me?
She dies super fast, does no damage, and has bad support. I am struggling to keep her relevant in the team next to Monoco and Sciel.

Who wins in a fight, Auron from Final Fantasy X, or Cloud from Final Fantasy VII?

Idea for a pizza place:

Little Brutus
I think we could really take a stab at the fast food Pizza market-share.

What if dogs' nails were floppy like spaghetti? And instead of tippy taps, they did slippy slaps?

I swear I can *hear* the dopamine sloshing around in my head when I see my little ants dig out a new tunnel to build their teeny tiny tavern.

I bet this discourse over pineapples on pizza from the last few years is just a distraction manufactured by anchovy lovers to take the heat off them.

Me: "hey, brain, can you grab a memory for me? This guy I'm talking to on the phone. What was his name again?"

My brain: "ooh... sorry... best I can do is pull up this memory from 13 years ago when you said 'ice cream' when you meant to say 'frozen yogurt' wasn't that pretty embarassing?"

I did a game design this weekend.

Been way too long since I made something small and complete.
It feels good to finish a small project now and again.

The name "Hamster" makes it sound like it's a faster, more compact version of a ham.

Which it is.

Okay, but Kingdom hearts 358/2 days was really good, actually.

I'm not surprised that a cellphone tower can generate a signal strong enough for my phone to see it.

I *am* surprised that my phone can generate a return signal strong enough for the tower to see.

Me: "I'm replacing my PC's cooling element today"

Wife: "do you know what you're doing?"

Me: "I know /of/ what I'm doing. Me and what I'm doing see eachother at parties sometimes."

Dwarves... LOVE mist.

Dwarves will put up with homelessness and awful food as long as they can walk past a waterfall whenever they want.

I wanna just sit down and play Dwarf Fortress for a week without responsibilities.

I think my next vacation will be just that.

Found my copy of house of leaves!

I love this book, it's the only book I've read that really uses the medium.

You couldn't make House of Leaves as anything other than a book.

Had some Chili Dogs and watched Sonic 3 yesterday.

The movie was way better than I expected. I geeked out basically the whole time, it was great.

I cannot find my copy of House Of Leaves and I'm starting to fear I left it in that new hallway we found a little while back.

Been wanting to upgrade my video card lately but then I remembered I have the founders edition level of GeForce Now.

Tried it out yesterday and it works way better than at launch. So I can just play all my new games at absolute max settings without having to worry about my hardware.

Haven't done a game jam in a while and my brain is telling me it's because I'm lazy.

Nevermind the fact that I've been writing game sessions for Vampire, writing an entirely new LARP rulebook, and working on professional development like crazy.

Jealous of people who have skills they can use to help friends and family.

None of my friends ever need a firewall hardened or an AWS VPC secured.
