I play through ‘Shovel Knight’ every few years, and I just finished my latest play through last night. Dear god, this game is just about perfect. Probably somewhere in my top 10 games of all time list, if I were ever to make one. A+

I think my favorite thing about being on dating apps in my 40s is making a really dumb dad-joke via chat, my poor match responding with the ‘Eyeroll’ emoji, and then I reply to that with “Waka! Waka!” Anyway, I’m probably going to die alone.

Just learned about the theatrical re-release of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies and almost compulsively bought tickets to see all three this weekend. That’s almost twelve hours of sitting in a theater crammed into three days. I cannot fucking wait.

That's how I feel too. In my case I'm fascinated by how people seem offended that history can continue to be reexamined, there are commenters who seem mad because they already saw someone else talk about this and they are NOT interested in letting anyone else have a say.
