Never gonna stop being crazy to me that the creator of SmileDog also:
- made classic Twine horror The Uncle That Works At Nintendo
- recorded a Homestuck podcast
- is writing a novel-length literary analysis of Homestuck
- is working with Sam Barlow
What a career lmao

The scene in Matrix Revolutions at the end when Neo and Mr. Smith are fighting in the rain but Mr. Smith says "Why, Mr. Anderson? Why won't you give up the cash?" Neo replies "Because in the Matrix cash is king."

Amused that the part 3 prologue opens with a screed from the author saying "Part 3 itself is really serious and deep, but the prologue is silly and lighthearted, so if you're bored just stick through it". That's what I'm here for! Do not apologize for accidentally recreating the Intermission my pal

hi. sorry to do this again but life sucks

it’s almost the middle of the month which means it is that time when i am broke. after mortgage, bills, paying out IHTOV writers, etc. i am absolutely tapped and still need to put gas in my car, pay the heating bill, and get some food. things should clear up by december; i have some money coming my way. but for now i am struggling thanks to unexpected repairs and emergencies. i hate this, but here i am. if you like my posts and appreciate IHTOV and want to throw me a buck or two, i appreciate all the help i get here. don’t know where i’d be without it. venmo is michele-catalano2659, paypal is michele.catalano at gmail. thank you

CORRIGENDUM: Yes I know ableism was a word in 2009 but it had not propagated into society to the point online 13-year-olds used it

Maybe my most cantankerous Homestuck nitpick is that it pisses me off when characters use modern slang. The beta kids didn't see society progress past April 2009 why is Egbert calling stuff ableist. Did you guys come up with ableism as a concept independently

Most of the fanfic in general is going off of the movie's universe... Sad!

There's some wonderful yuribait in Authority that's missing fanfic too. Be the change you wish to see I suppose

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

mcdonal is doing the monopoly thing again and if you didn't know, it's considered a sweepstakes which means they need what's called an "alternative method of entry" for people who don't want to pay. you can request free game pieces (which occasionally are free food) 5 times per day here
