Twin came into my room with Northernlion on one monitor and a clip from Superman of Lex Luthor on the other and I had to hastily clarify "Neither of these men are Andrew Tate"

strange tendency to type the altogether wrong words recently. "clearly" instead of "clearer", "round around" instead of "go around". brain slow? idk

Legit I have 4 Souls runs I want to do in the near future:
* DS2 low-upgrade 100% (current!)
* Elden Ring Reforged
* Bloodborne low-upgrade 100% on PC
* DS2 30k SM
Realistically it will take me 9 months at least to get through these

also after playing with DS2 Lighting Engine for 35hrs I can comfortably say, it does still ruin a few graphical design choices about the vanilla game and it's not really the "definitive" version yet. The Looking Glass Knight fight is notably still broken (no lightning flashes). Couple bugs. (1/n)

Sobbing. Just had an incredibly funny invasion on my low-level DS2 run. Shrine of Amana, first area. There's no way I can win any invasion (+1 weapons, no stat above 20). So I run myself back to the bonfire. Remember that hitless runs close doors on invading NPCs to slow them down. (1/n)

sorry labour but you can't come at polanski with the hypnotherapy bit because he's already done better jokes poking at himself than you can come up with and every time you try he turns the conversation back towards policy (which you do not care about, and he does)

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.
One wonders what *would*.
